The Houston Texans had to make some tough decisions when forming their 53-man roster, and one of them was cutting wide receiver Noah Brown.

Before Will Levis became the future of the Tennessee Titans, Malik Willis was supposed to take over the reins. Fast forward to now, Willis is fighting for a spot on the team, but he may have made a good case for himself in the preseason finale against the New Orleans Saints. With 1:53 left in […]

The Las Vegas Aces defeated the Chicago Sky after a last-second buzzer-beater layup from A’ja Wilson. It was the players that executed the play, but it was the coach that had to put it in motion for the players to run it. As a coach herself, Dawn Staley understood that, and she gave Aces head […]

Stetson Bennett has been battling in the preseason to be the backup quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams while Jimmy Garoppolo misses the first two weeks.

James Bradberry has had a good training camp for the Philadelphia Eagles, but that hadn’t translated to the two preseason games that he played.

It’s always hard to beat a team two times in a row, and the Atlanta Dream learned that after losing to the Phoenix Mercury 82-80. The Dream won the first matchup, but the Mercury came back around and made sure they would leave Atlanta with a win. Despite the loss, head coach Tanisha Wright was […]

With the NBA schedule officially released, one thing that’s for certain is that every team will be playing each other at some point during the season.

Nikola Jokic’s Serbian team was close to defeating Team USA in the semifinals of the Paris Olympics, and one of the reasons was because of Aleksa Avramovic.

Through two weeks of the preseason, the battle for the starting quarterback position for the Pittsburgh Steelers is still uncertain.

Derek Carr maybe doesn’t get the respect that he deserves, even if he has the stats to back it up. Since 2016, Carr has 30 the most game-winning drives out of any quarterback with 30, but his name isn’t put on the list with some of the top at the position. Carr has been looking […]

Noah Lyles and Tyreek Hill have been talking about a potential race for the past few weeks, but nothing has been set in stone as of yet. What has been released is the betting odds if they were to race, and Lyles looks to have an advantage on Hill so far. The Noah Lyles vs. […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are still having a quarterback battle, and it feels as if it’s 50/50 between who will start between Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.

Gardner Minshew earned the starting quarterback spot over Aidan O’Connell for the Las Vegas Raiders, which means he’ll be throwing passes to Davante Adams all season.

The Chicago Bears No. 1 pick in the draft, Caleb Williams, has been getting fans hype on the field with the plays that he’s been making, but it’s the things that he’s saying off the field that should be getting people excited. Already through training camp and two preseason games, Williams has sounded like he’s […]

When Karl-Anthony Towns was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves, it was obvious that he would be the franchise cornerstone. Years later, the Timberwolves drafted Anthony Edwards, and so far he’s shown that he may have the keys to the organization.
