Before Vic Fangio was winning Super Bowls with the Philadelphia Eagles, named the head coach of the Denver Broncos, or redefining the modern NFL defense with the Chicago Bears, he was making a name for himself with the San Francisco 49ers, where he coached a defense headlined by NaVorro Bowman, Patrick Willis, and Aldon Smith. […]

When the Baltimore Ravens take the field for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season, they will have someone other than John Harbaugh leading the charge for the first time since 2008. That’s right, after 180 regular-season wins, numerous playoff appearances, and a Super Bowl win to boot, the Ravens decided to move on from […]

Mere days after agreeing to a new deal with the University of Washington, Huskies quarterback Demond  Williams officially announced that he was putting his name in the transfer portal as he weighed his options for the 2026 NCAA season. Now normally, this wouldn’t be a major issue; plenty of players jump ship after one year […]

After nearly two decades running the show at M&T Bank Park, John Harbaugh has been fired by the Baltimore Ravens following 18 seasons with the team. The highs were incredible: a Super Bowl win, a Coach of the Year honor, and more road playoff victories than any other coach in NFL history. But after losing […]

After coming up a field goal short of punching his ticket to the fourth seed in the AFC, John Harbaugh finds himself without a head coaching gig for the first time since 2008, having been fired by the Baltimore Ravens after 18 seasons. As news spread over social media, with some fans celebrating the move, […]

By taking down the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 18, the Washington Commanders have officially secured the seventh overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Now granted, would the Commanders be better off in the draft order had they lost to the Birds in a game with nothing but pride on the line? Technically speaking, yes, […]

After a promising start to the 2025 NFL season, securing a pair of wins over the New Orleans Saints and the Carolina Panthers, the wheels fell off in a major way for the Arizona Cardinals, with the team losing all but one of their final 15 games to finish out the season 3-14. Suddenly, Kyler […]

After an incredibly uneven 2025 NFL season, the Miami Dolphins could be in the market for a new QB1 in 2025. Sure, they still have Tua Tagovailoa, who signed a four-year, $212.4 million contract extension in 2024, and Quinn Ewers, the seventh-round QB who went 1-2 after the Pro Bowler’s benching, but between the 2026 […]

With the 2026 NFL Draft rapidly approaching and the top-18 picks officially locked in following the end of Week 18, premier talents around the college football rankings have begun to position themselves for their professional futures. For some players, that means identifying their best fits and preparing for the interview process at workouts, all-star game, […]

After a half-decade away from the NFL field, Philip Rivers did the unthinkable: returning to the Indianapolis Colts for a month as a stopgap starting quarterback. Though he wasn’t able to sling the ball as far as he used to, Rivers still showed a deep command of the quarterback position and the game as a […]

In a move as shocking as it was expected, the Cleveland Browns fired Kevin Stefanski after six seasons as their head coach. A two-time NFL Coach of the Year, things fell apart for Stefanski over the past few seasons in Cleveland, but that doesn’t mean other teams don’t believe he could be a viable option […]

On paper, the Week 18 showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders has basically no impact on the NFL season as a whole. The NFC East is locked up, the Eagles are more or less locked into the three seed unless the Chicago Bears drop the ball against the eliminated Detroit Lions, the Commanders […]

While New Year’s Eve wasn’t a particularly good night for fans of Ohio State, with the Buckeyes dropping a College Football Playoffs stunner to Miami with the eyes of the nation watching on, one fan took particular pleasure in Columbus’ pain: Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports. Taking to social media to rub in the loss, […]

Alumni like Michael Irvin were going absolutely crazy on the sidelines, Mario Cristobal had a special moment with Jimmy Johnson, and fans in Miami began looking ahead to the future, where the Hurricanes […]

2025 was another banner year for the Los Angeles Dodgers, literally. Coming off one of the best LA baseball seasons in recent memory, with free agent addition Shohei Ohtani looking like an absolute steal at a $700 million price tag – even if much of that fee was deferred – the Dodgers had a new […]

When Clayton Kershaw announced that the 2025 MLB season would be his last just before the start of the playoffs, it gave the Los Angeles Dodgers extra motivation to go for the repeat. Sure, Kershaw already had two World Series wins on his resume, including one the year prior, but for a Dodgers team that […]

The Atlanta Hawks find themselves at a strange spot heading towards the midway point of the 2025-26 NBA season. On one hand, they appear to have found a new franchise player outside of the lottery in Jalen Johnson, the do-it-all forward who can shoot, score, pass, and defend as a 6-foot-8 frontcourt player. They’ve added […]

In a game so good, it needed more than 48 minutes to decide a winner, the Philadelphia 76ers found themselves all tied up at 136-all against the Memphis Grizzlies with just 18.3 seconds left to play. After having some minor confusion over where they could inbound the ball, with it ruled Tyrese Maxey couldn’t take […]

On an otherwise unassuming Tuesday afternoon, the Dallas Cowboys decided to make themselves the center of the NFL conversation by releasing two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Trevon Diggs before their Week 18 finale against the New York Giants. Now on the surface, this was the most shocking – or at least second-most shocking – roster move […]

To say Kevin Patullo’s first season as the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive coordinator has been controversial would be an understatement. Taking over for Kellen Moore, the future New Orleans Saints head coach who turned Saquon Barkley into a Super Bowl-winning 2,000-yard rusher in 2024, Patullo had incredibly high expectations heading into the season after four years […]

After a grueling season filled with incredible highs and crushing lows, Ty Simpson and the Alabama Crimson Tide will test their mettle in Pasadena, California, at the Rose Bowl against arguably the best team in the nation, Indiana. Legacies will grow, legends will be defined, and the winner will advance even further into the College […]

Entering Week 17 as heavy favorites to come out of Monday Night Football with a victory, the Los Angeles Rams were embarrassed on a national stage, dropping a very winable game 24-27 to an Atlanta Falcons team with a sub-.500 record. Fans were shocked, fantasy football players were dismayed by the brutal production from Matthew […]

With the top spot NFC Wildcard spot very much still up for grabs, the Los Angeles Rams marched into Atlanta to take on former defensive coordinator Raheem Morris and his Falcons, and needless to say, things didn’t go great in the first half. Opening this up with a few positive offensive plays, the blows started […]

In Week 17, the Philadelphia Eagles’ win over the Buffalo Bills was a game of inches. Playing in ugly conditions that made the ball and grass slippery, both teams played below their usual standards, with typically lights-out contributors suffering uncharacteristic drops, incompletions, and coverage lapses. Discussing the Eagles’ win on Monday with reporters, head coach […]

At the midway point of the 2025 NFL season, the Indianapolis Colts looked like they had found their new franchise quarterback in Daniel Jones. Sitting pretty at 7-1 with a retread QB who was getting legitimate MVP hype, Jones and the Colts fell back to earth on the back nine, with a Week 14 knee […]

With all eyes in the AFC North locked on Cleveland as the Browns welcomed the Pittsburgh Steelers to town, Shedeur Sanders had himself a game, completing 73.9 percent of his passes for 186 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions on the way to a stunning 13-6 victory. Sanders supporters celebrated his accuracy, an issue earlier […]

After playing with a massive glove on his hand after having surgery on his broken non-throwing hand earlier in the month, Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers saw their chances of winning the AFC West come to an end with a Week 17 loss to the Houston Texans. With their playoff future effectively locked […]

It’s hard to look at Saquon Barkley’s 2025 season with the Philadelphia Eagles and consider it anything other than a disappointment. Now granted, he hasn’t been bad per se, he will still finish out the 2025 NFL season with well over 1,000 yards, maybe as high as the mid 1,200s, but after going for over […]

As the Philadelphia Eagles prepare to face off against the Buffalo Bills in Week 17, a playoff preview between two teams with Super Bowl aspirations, Nick Sirianni was feeling nostalgic. Since taking the Eagles coaching job in 2021, Sirianni has coached against the Bills twice, first as a freshman head coach when his team walked […]

After missing all of December with a foot and shoulder injury, respectively, Philadelphia Eagles fans have been waiting with bated breath to learn when Lane Johnson and Jalen Carter would take the field next. Fortunately, some good news came for Eagles fans on that front on the Friday before the team’s Week 17 clash with […]

In Week 17, the Philadelphia Eagles have a perfect chance to see how their December adjustments fare against another team with Super Bowl aspirations. … or do they? On paper, the Eagles and Bills are a very interesting matchup; both teams have a Pro Bowl quarterback, interesting offensive weapons all over the field, and defenses […]

On December 23, 2025, the NFL officially announced the initial 2025 Pro Bowl rosters, with five members of the Philadelphia Eagles, Cam Jurgens, Jalen Carter, Zack Baun, Cooper DeJean, and Quinyon Mitchell all making the list. And yet, in the opinion of defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, that number really should be six, with his other […]

After having his two-game suspension appeal denied by the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers will officially be without DK Metcalf for the remainder of the regular season. Now, on paper, this isn’t the worst outcome considering the situation, as, at 9-6, the Steelers just have to win one more game to guarantee they represent the AFC […]

As the NFL world grapples with DK Metcalf’s two-game suspension for an altercation with a Detroit Lions fan in Week 16, with the Pittsburgh Steelers’ wide receiver indeed out for the rest of the regular season after Jordy Nelson denied his appeal, fans have wondered what would happen to the other side of this altercation […]

While the Philadelphia Eagles were able to contribute five players to the 2026 NFL Pro Bowl, including two second-year cornerbacks in Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell, Zack Baun, Jalen Carter, and lone offensive player Cam Jurgens, many around the organization believe there’s one obvious omission from the list: Jordan Davis. In the midst of a […]

At 12-3, the New England Patriots are in a very good spot heading into the 2026 NFL playoffs. They hold first place in the AFC East with a one-game lead over the Buffalo Bills, have a second-year quarterback in heavy consideration for an MVP award, and get to finish out the regular season against the […]

In 2025, Roki Sasaki had one of the more unusual rookie seasons in recent Los Angeles Dodgers memory. After being the most in-demand international free agent since his future teammate, Shohei Ohtani, with Blue Jays fans in particular taking his near-signing incredibly hard, Sasaki struggled early on as a starting pitcher for the Dodgers, landing […]

The San Francisco 49ers’ Monday Night Football showdown against the Indianapolis Colts is a tapestry filled with interesting storylines and subplots.

As things presently stand, Ketel Marte is still a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks, even if his current employer would love to ship the second baseman to a team like the Atlanta Braves for rebuilding pieces for the future. On paper, the Braves are the kind of team that would like to bring in a […]
