Additionally, Tyrese Maxey calling out star Joel Embiid […]

The New York Giants have benched Daniel Jones, finally ending the experiment begun when they took him with the No. 6 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. However, after his consistent subpar play that produced a 3-13 record in 16 starts, including a 2-8 showing this season, coach Brian Daboll demoted him to third-string quarterback […]

With a 2-8 record, the Cleveland Browns may have nothing much to play for at this point, especially after Deshaun Watson went down for the season and coach Kevin Stefanski brought in Jameis Winston too little too late to change anything. In such a case, players will do everything to stay locked in, and defensive […]

It just might not be the Dallas Cowboys’ year, as they fell to 3-7 after losing to the Houston Texans, 34-10, in Week 11.

The Los Angeles Clippers are a team in transition, dealing with the departure of Paul George and nagging injuries to Kawhi Leonard, leaving James Harden as the primary option again.

For now, […]

The New York Knicks employ one of the best big men in the league in Karl-Anthony Towns, traded from the Minnesota Timberwolves.

As the Knicks […]

Sometimes, great gambles in sports pay off, but sometimes they don’t.

Still, the […]

Finally, Mike Tyson will fight Jake Paul on Friday after months of postponement, due to medical emergencies to Tyson.

After the Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series, the Yankees plan to adjust their roster in the hopes of making it back there next season, but with different results.

After White made all three free throws, Jalen Brunson still had a chance to win the […]

The Los Angeles Lakers field pretty much the same roster as last year, but watching them feels like a completely different team, and credit goes to rookie head coach JJ Redick.
