With CeeDee Lamb officially holding out of training camp, you would think members of the Dallas Cowboys would be disappointed to see the team’s top target abstain from organized team activities in favor of pursuing his own financial well-being, right? Are there a few members of the Cowboys roster who might feel that way? Eh, […]

After an offseason full of anticipation, intrigue, and in-depth debates among fans across the NFL, the Green Bay Packers have officially made it official: Jordan Love is sticking around in Wisconsin on a historic four-year, $22o million contract extension. That’s right, despite only starting for the Packers for one full season, Green Bay clearly liked […]

While AEW gears up for their biggest show of the year in All In, with Swerve Strickland set to wrestle Bryan Danielson for the World Championship, there’s a spector hanging over the entire promotion that could radically change it forever: the expected debut of former WWE Speed Champion Ricochet. Now granted, Ricochet isn’t technically under […]

When the Minnesota Timberwolves made the shocking decision to trade a 2030 protected first-round pick swap and an unprotected first-round pick in 2031 to the San Antonio Spurs for Kentucky Wildcats combo guard Rob Dillingham, it felt like one of the riskiest draft day trades in recent memory. Sure, the 6-foot-1, 175-pound guard came with […]

For the second this month, forward EJ Liddell is on the move, with the 6-foot-7, 240-pound forward out of Ohio State being sent to the Phoenix Suns for David Roddy not even three weeks after being acquired from the New Orleans Pelicans by the Atlanta Hawks. For the Suns, a team light on assets but […]

When the Brooklyn Nets made the rare cross-borough trade with the New York Knicks to send Mikal Bridges to Manhattan for Bojan Bogdanovic and a small war chest of draft picks, it seemingly signified a firesale at the Barclay Center, with anything not nailed down available for the right price. Do you want a point […]

When the referee for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match at Money in the Bank stopped his count at two when Seth Rollins seemingly had Damian Priest dead to rights, waiting a second for Drew McIntyre’s music to hit for his ultimately failed cash-in attempt, it led to one prevailing assumption within the IWC: Priest […]

Heading into the offseason, the Charlotte Hornets found themselves with money to spend and players to draft in the pursuit of taking a step forward back towards playoff relevancy. Sure, the team was coming off of a particularly bad season, winning the fewest games in a single season ever under their current moniker in no […]

While AEW’s annual running of Blood & Guts featured some of the more brutal spots fans of the promotion have come to expect, from Coffen Drops off the top of the cage, to staple gun tag, and even Darby Allin threatening to set Jack Perry on fire if he didn’t get a shot at the […]

After hinting at a singles program between Mercedes Mone and Britt Baker since the latter officially returned to the promotion at Forbidden Door, AEW decided to shake things up in a major way at Blood & Guts, having former NWA World Women’s Champion Kamille destroy the DMD after her win over Hikaru Shida, before officially […]

After spending the last nine years in the college ranks at his alma mater, Michigan, Jim Harbaugh has officially opened up his first training camp with the Los Angeles Chargers, taking the show down the road to El Segundo for a summer filled with schematic insolation. What, you may wonder, is it like for Harbaugh […]

When it comes to offenses in the NFL, few have a player who is as big a mismatch as Kyle Pitts, the third-year Atlanta Falcons tight end who practically set the athletic standards for the position coming out of Florida in 2021. Standing 6-foot-5, 246 pounds with wide receiver-caliber 4.44 speed and an 83.375-inch wingspan […]

When news broke that the NBA was officially leaving TNT Sports for Prime Video in 2025 – even if the exact details of the situation have become somewhat murky – fans of professional wrestling were left with one major question: what does this mean for AEW? Would the promotion suddenly become more of a priority […]

How do you know a professional wrestler has truly gotten over in the cultural zeitgeist? Is it how many titles they’ve won? Or how much TV time they get weekly? How many Pay-Per-Views they headline in a calendar year? Well, when New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams is singing to the team’s official social […]

Roughly an hour after the NBA officially announced that Amazon Prime would serve as the new home of the association for the 2025-36 seasons after TNT and its parent company, Warner Brothers Discovery, did not match their media rights offer, TNT Sports took to social media to fire back at the association, letting it be […]

After weeks and weeks of speculation, the NBA has made it official: the association is heading to Amazon Prime starting in 2025. That’s right, after news broke that TNT was planning to match the Jeff Bezos-owned company’s offer for the soon-to-be-expiring NBA rights, the official NBA Communications account on social media has made it official: […]

While the summer hasn’t exactly gone the way most Los Angeles Lakers fans would have liked, as the team was eerily quiet in free agency despite clearly being stuck in the middle of the Western Conference’s pack, the lone bright spot of the offseason thus far – minus the polarizing Bronny James coverage – was […]

Heading into the offseason after an incredibly underwhelming end to the 2023-24 NBA season, change felt like an inevitability for the Phoenix Suns. Sure, the team wasn’t going to blow up their Big 3, not yet anyway, as they’ve simply invested too many assets in Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal to pull the plug on […]

It has officially been three months since Swerve Strickland became the new and defending AEW World Champion at Dynasty, icing out Samoa Joe in a Missouri main event to officially become the first-ever African American World Champion in AEW history. Since then, he’s defended the belt on four occasions, twice on television and twice on […]

In 2023-24, few teams exceeded expectations as much as the Indiana Pacers. Entering the season seemingly stuck in the middle of the pack, Indiana shot out of a cannon to open up the season, playing a brand of basketball that was fast and full of exciting offensive explosion, even if they didn’t always back it […]

After weeks and weeks of anticipation, it finally happened: CM Punk marched down to the ring on RAW, picked up a microphone, and made the announcement fans have been hoping for since January. “Is it great to be alive on a Monday night in Green Bay, Wisconsin, or what? Green Bay. Is the Bay green? […]

When Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow showed up at training camp to hopefully lead his team back to the Super Bowl sporting a new bleached-blond look, more than a few fans were left with the same thought: oh snap, he looks like WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. Now granted, Rhodes isn’t the first prominent figure in […]

When it comes to the 2024 NBA offseason, few fans can argue that the Oklahoma City Thunder weren’t one of the true winners of free agency and the draft. From selecting Nikola Topic, Dillon Jones, and Ajay Mitchell in the 2024 NBA draft, to trading Josh Giddey to the Chicago Bulls for Alex Caruso and […]

After bouncing around the NBA as a pro, going from the Phoenix Suns to the Miami Heat, to the Portland Trail Blazers, and then the Chicago Bulls as a UDFA out of UNLV, Derrick Jones Jr. seemingly found a home with the Dallas Mavericks in 2023-24, where the journeyman forward became a key rotational player […]

When the WWE writers decided to have Jey Uso, fresh off his run at the Money in the Bank briefcase, take a romantic interest in Rhea Ripley, it turned heads across the professional wrestling fandom. Sure, technically, the logic was sound, “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio had been semi-flirting with Liv Morgan for weeks in the lead-up […]

If Bronny James had any other father, fans would probably be encouraged by his performances in Summer League thus far for the Los Angeles Lakers. Sure, his 3 ball hasn’t fallen at a particularly impressive clip, and his scoring has been inconsistent, to put it kindly, but his passing has been solid and he’s proven […]

Heading into the 2024 NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles’ roster is more or less set, with only a few positions up for grabs in true open competitions. Now normally, that’s good news, but when you consider that the positions Philly need to fill are loaded up with interesting options, the prospects of watching some truly […]

After being one of the true focal points of the final Vine McMahon era, rumor has it that Bobby Lashley and his former manager, MVP, are set to exit the WWE Universe later this year. Now to some, the idea of Lashley leaving WWE feels borderline unthinkable, as he’s a lock for the Hall of […]

Who is the most underrated Superstar in the WWE Universe? Well, if you ask John Cena, who, as the reigning “GOAT,” has an opinion that holds special clout, the answer to that question is none other than The Miz, the grand slam champion who just closed out a run as the RAW Tag Team Champion […]

When it comes to Philadelphia Eagles defensive linemen in 2023, few were afforded the same national spotlight as Jalen Carter, the ninth overall pick in the draft out of Georgia. Widely considered the best defensive player in the 2023 class, with Will Anderson Jr. edging him out only because of the Bulldogs’ off-the-field issues, Carter […]

In 2023, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers entered the summer with a giant question mark at the quarterback position. After finding incredible success with Tom Brady during the final act of his NFL career, the Buccaneers were tasked with remaining relevant down the “GOAT,” with a former first-overall pick on his fourth team in as three […]

Ric Flair hasn’t been on AEW television since all the way back in March, when he played a small part in Sting’s final match at Full Gear. Now to some fans, this is probably new, as out of sight out of mind, but there is a section of wrestling fans who are excited to see […]

When Logan Paul called LA Knight by his government name, Shaun, during his contract signing with the “Megastar” ahead of their United States Title match at SummerSlam, you could see the anger in the former Million Dollar Champion’s eyes. Unfortunately, Knight wasn’t afforded a chance to address the situation too much further, as the remark […]

When the Denver Broncos drafted Bo Nix 12th overall in the 2024 NFL draft, it instantly placed the Oregon quarterback into one of the more unique positions in the league. Now granted, it’s not like fans expected Nix to go on Day 3 or anything like that. He was widely considered a top-40 draft pick […]

When the Jacksonville Jaguars lost Calvin Ridley to the Tennessee Titans in free agency, it created a hole that Trent Baalke and company needed to fill and fast. Now granted, the Jaguars got involved in free agency, too, signing ex-Buffalo Bills speedster Gabe Davis to a new three-year, $39 million contract, but he’s more of […]

When Aaron Donald announced that he was calling it a career after an incredible run with the Los Angeles Rams, the pressure, rightly or wrongly, immediately fell on Kobie Turner’s shoulders to fill the shoes of the eight-time All-Pro. Standing 6-foot-2, 288 pounds, Turner played incredibly well for the Rams as a rookie, powering through […]

When discussing the success of his current run in WWE, Cody Rhodes routinely points to his long-time friend and mentor John Cena, who he turns to when he needs help or advice, going so far as to suggest that his current run is actually doing numbers that “The Face That Runs the Place” could only […]

When it comes to the Cleveland Browns, no player has a more disproportional impact on the team’s success than Deshaun Watson for more reasons than one. Initially drafted by the Houston Texans in the first round of the 2017 NFL draft, the Browns traded away a small fortune of picks to bring the collegiate Clemson […]

Heading into the 2023 NFL season, few players were as hyped up as Bryce Young. The first overall pick out of Alabama who led the Crimson Tide to a 37-4 record on the way to bringing a Heisman Trophy back to Tuscaloosa, Young was widely viewed as the savior for a Panthers franchise that had […]
