When it comes to the top of the 2025 NFL Draft, few players draw as varied comps as Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty.

When Field Yates boldly mocked Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan to the Dallas Coboys in his latest two-round 2025 NFL mock draft for ESPN, he did so with conviction.

While the Philadelphia Eagles have reportedly won the battle of the Tush Push, with the NFL tabling a vote because a potential ban doesn’t have enough support, there is still one question that needs to be answered about the franchise’s future: Nick Sirianni’s contract. That’s right, while the Eagles are riding high as Super Bowl […]

In 2025, the Philadelphia Eagles loaded up on veteran free agents on low-priced contracts in order to bolster their depth now and potentially stumble on a Zack Baun-level contributor for the future.

The Philadelphia Eagles are on a one-team warpath to guarantee that their signature play, the Tush Push, will remain a legal play moving forward. Some teams say it’s unsafe. Some teams say it’s illegal. And others still just seem upset that they can’t stop it. But over the course of the NFL meetings in Palm […]

In 2024, Drake Maye wasn’t exactly given the tools to succeed by the New England Patriots. Sure, the team invested in offensive players, using picks on receivers and linemen to hopefully give their quarterback a shot at success when he eventually saw the field, but in Year 1, none of those players really hit, with […]

When news broke that World Series MVP Freddie Freeman would miss time after suffering a “mishap in the shower,” it left Los Angeles Dodgers fans with more questions than answers.

With the 2025 NFL Draft rapidly approaching, fans of the Carolina Panthers have been vigorously debating what position their beloved franchise should target with the eighth overall pick.

Now unlikely in […]

When the Houston Texans traded underperforming former first-round pick Kenyon Green and a 2026 fifth-round pick to the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles for CJ Gardner-Johnson and a sixth-round pick, the response was very one-sided.

When PJ Tucker officially joined the New York Knicks on a series of 10-day deals after successfully negotiating his way out of his contract with the Los Angeles Clippers, fans knew Tom Thibodeau’s squad would have to make a decision on his future one way or another.

When the Philadelphia Eagles traded CJ Gardner-Johnson and a sixth-round pick to the Houston Texans for Kenyon Green and a fifth-round pick, it turned heads within the fanbase.

In the Dodgers’ fourth game of the season, their second since returning from Japan, Mookie Betts was the big hero of Blue Heaven.

Where of where will Jaxson Dart be selected in the 2025 NFL Draft? Will he be drafted in the top 10 picks like some have suggested? Or will he still be sitting there at pick 32 at the end of the first, where the Philadelphia Eagles will be fielding calls about his availability? While only […]

With the 2025 NFL Draft rapidly approaching, one of the more fun peripheral arguments to pop up about the event curiously involves two-way Dodgers MVP Shohei Ohtani.

When it comes to the 2025 NFL calendar year, few teams’ futures are as up in the air as the Pittsburgh Steelers.

After a strange run with the New York Jets that ultimately ended unceremoniously with a trade to the Denver Broncos, it’s clear Zach Wilson will be QB2 for the Miami Dolphins this fall after rarely seeing the field for Sean Payton’s team last season. On paper, it makes sense, right? The Dolphins already have Tua […]

Though the 2025 MLB season hasn’t technically started for 93 percent of the league, few players have had a rougher go of things than Mookie Betts.
