It’s always fun to watch retired players in any sport reminiscing about their own careers. We remember how we had our eyes glued to Michael Jordan’s “The Last Dance,” for instance. Besides on-court or on-field drama, though, learning about how these players approached the game and competition is even more exciting. Just watch this video […]

The Minnesota Twins’ 8-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Monday left a bittersweet taste in the team’s mouth, thanks to Byron Buxton’s injury scare in the fifth inning.

The never-ending injury woes of the Los Angeles Dodgers continue as they placed pitcher River Ryan on the injured list with a UCL strain.

The Baltimore Ravens keep their roster intact after two massive injury scares to their two defensive backs, Kyle Hamilton and Nate Wiggins. Last Sunday, Hamilton existed practice early due to a left leg injury and sat out Monday’s practice. However, he returned to the field on Tuesday. Ravens coach John Harbaugh also settled injury concerns […]

Seven years after his last NFL game, former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick still hasn’t given up on returning to the league. He has earned worldwide admiration and, at times, scorn, for “taking a knee” during the national anthem in his last two seasons with the 49ers. Over time, several players in different leagues […]

A torn Achilles might have cost Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets an entire season last year, but both the team and its star quarterback still has plenty of good reasons to be optimistic ahead of the 2024 NFL season. One reason is the wide receiver Malachi Corley, who has shined in training camp […]

Former All-Star John Wall last played an NBA game during the 2022-2023 season with the Los Angeles Clippers. He made 34 appearances for the team before they traded him to the Houston Rockets in February of that year, although the Rockets waived him just three days later. In his last NBA season, Wall posted his […]

If the term “hater” exists in the dictionary, it should also feature a photo of Skip Bayless trolling LeBron James. For at least a decade, Bayless has hated on LeBron, no matter what he does, even winning another Olympic gold medal for his country in the recent 2024 Paris games. The sports analyst has criticized […]

Spurs fans excited to watch the first-time duo of Victor Wembanyama and Chris Paul should tune in to opening night of the 2024-25 NBA season.

College football fans know that in recent years commitments alone aren’t enough for recruits to stay in their chosen schools. Flipping recruits has become as common as them committing to specific schools, which adds to the burden of college programs. Now, they must double their efforts to ensure their recruits stay where they are. Just […]

Since trading Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders, the Green Bay Packers haven’t had a receiver with 800 yards on their roster, much less 1,000. This situation has left fans and observers wondering whether or not the Packers even have a clear WR1. It also makes one wonder if they need one at all, […]

The NFL preseason reminds us how tough it actually is for players to make it to the pros, especially for undrafted rookies. Not only do they have to battle with the teams’ draft picks, but they also have to duke it out with veterans and free agents looking for a home. Despite standing out in practice […]

Los Angeles Lakers star and Olympics MVP LeBron James took some time to celebrate Team USA’s gold-medal victory over France at the 2024 Paris games.

Sports discussions on social media can generate some truly wild takes, especially on X, formerly Twitter. Sometimes, though, a professional athlete chimes in with an opinion that gets fans thinking.

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix impressed in his preseason debut against the Indianapolis Colts, which they won 34-30. Despite coming off the bench, Nix played well enough to earn consideration of a starting job over current starter Jarrett Stidham sometime in the next season. Stidham went to the bench in the first quarter, and […]

Intentional walks might be an important baseball strategy, but excellent hitters might also not like it. Still, all that matters in the game is your team winning, as the New York Yankees proved when they outlasted the Texas Rangers, 8-7, in a Sunday thriller. During the game, the Rangers continued the trend of intentionally walking […]

It’s not often that teams in any sport should find effective contributors, much less high-quality players, in the trenches of the draft. That doesn’t seem to be a problem for the Los Angeles Rams, though, whose sixth-round draft pick Jordan Whittington put in an impressive performance in his NFL preseason debut. The former Texas Longhorn […]

In what may be his first and last Olympics, Stephen Curry has only grown his legend as the greatest shooter of all time.

On Thursday, Team USA came back to beat Serbia, 95-91, to advance to the gold medal game against France in the 2024 Paris Olympics. If you only saw the final box score, you’d only get half of the story, as the Americans completed a historic comeback after trailing for much of the game and by […]

The Carolina Panthers are still not looking too hot as they opened their preseason with an ugly 17-3 loss to the New England Patriots.

The New York Giants might have handled business against the Detroit Lions on Thursday 14-3 on their preseason opener.

Rudy Tomjanovich once said, “Don’t ever underestimate the heart of a champion.” With four NBA titles under his belt, Stephen Curry proved Rudy T right as he turned in a historic scoring performance to lead Team USA’s comeback victory over Serbia, 95-91, keeping Team USA’s gold medal hopes alive. Nikola Jokic and Team Serbia had […]

As of Wednesday, the elite wideout remains with the 49ers pending a successful trade with any team willing to take on Aiyuk’s contract. Moreover, another wrinkle stalling a potential […]

If you asked the New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr., he might agree that pretty much every team in the NFL runs the same offense. After all, the only difference is which team could run these sets better to achieve great success. As a counterpoint, though, no other NBA team has implemented Phil […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers are still on the top spot of the National League West, but they are not exactly helping themselves stay there. After the Dodgers lost their series to the Philadelphia Phillies, 9-4, they’ve lost further ground to their nearest rivals, the San Diego Padres and the Arizona Diamondbacks. What’s worse is the […]

The Cincinnati Bengals look to bounce back after a disappointing season that saw them eliminated from playoff contention after losing QB1 Joe Burrow to injury.
