The Pittsburgh Steelers are 2-0, but tight end Eric Ebron has disappointed fantasy owners with his subpar production so far. The 27-year-old has just four receptions (seven targets) for 61 total yards in 2020, and hasn’t quite meshed with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Three other Steelers pass-catchers have been targeted more than Ebron, including wide receiver […]

After some uncharacteristic miscues through the first two weeks, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton got some constructive criticism that hit particularly close to home. Even though Hilton doesn’t make a ton of mistakes, his beloved grandmother is still going to call him out — and encourage him — when he does. Hilton dropped two […]

Midway through the 2019 season, the New England Patriots traded a second-round pick to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for veteran wide receiver Mohamed Sanu. For that steep price, Bill Belichick and co. were hoping Sanu could boost a subpar receiving corps for Tom Brady. But Sanu didn’t make the impact the Patriots envisioned, tallying […]

In 2018, then-Jacksonsville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey made it abundantly clear that he did not hold young Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen in the highest esteem. “I think Allen is trash,” Ramsey told GQ. “I don’t care what nobody say. He’s trash. And it’s gonna show too.” Ramsey disrespected a slew of quarterbacks in the interview, […]

When the New Orleans Saints signed wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders to a $16 million contract this offseason, it seemed like a nearly unfair addition to an already potent passing attack. After all, Sanders was coming off back-to-back seasons accruing over 860 yards receiving (for the Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers), and has been targeted […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars (1-2) were thoroughly outplayed by the Miami Dolphins (1-2) on Thursday night, and Jags QB Gardner Minshew sees a simple reason for his team’s defeat: Too many miscues. Minshew threw an interception, lost a fumble, and took four sacks during Jacksonville’s 31-13 home loss. “We had too many mistakes tonight – that’s just […]

Even after Karl-Anthony Towns signed a five-year supermax extension with the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2018, nobody seemed absolutely convinced that the All-Star center was truly committed to the Twin Cities long-term, especially considering the state of star player movement in the modern NBA. Karl-Anthony Towns stressed his “recommitment” to the Wolves at the time, implicitly […]

The NFL isn’t messing around when it comes to insisting the league’s head coaches wear face masks at all times during the 2020 season.

The expectations for the New York Giants coming into 2020 were already low, and that was before the team dropped its first two games then lost its best player, running back Saquon Barkley, for the season with a torn ACL.

In typical fashion for this current Miami Heat squad, Erik Spoelstra’s group gutted out a 112-109 win over the Boston Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, led by their two wings: Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro. Miami now holds a 3-1 series lead over Boston, putting them within one victory of the […]

The NBA community reacted with fury and outrage after Wednesday’s announcement that no active officers would face charges in the killing of Breonna Taylor.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) remains unsure about his availability for the team’s Week 3 matchup with the New Orleans Saints on “Sunday Night Football.” The star wideout did not practice on Wednesday, and believes it’s “too early” to make any major decisions. “It’s too early to tell,” Adams told the team’s […]

Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard primary role in the Western Conference Finals has been to irritate Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic. He’s had varying degrees of success doing so through three games, but in Denver’s 114-106 Game 3 win on Tuesday, Howard nearly took his new enforcer role too far. Midway through the second […]

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick may be one of the most influential coaches in football history, but that influence hasn’t quite translated to fashion. On Tuesday, Patriots quarterback Cam Newton — amongst the most colorful dressers on the planet — joked that he might start dressing Belichick if Newton hits his contract incentives. […]

On Tuesday, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said his “best guess” for the start date of the 2020-21 regular season would be some time towards the beginning of 2021. Speaking with Bob Costas on CNN, Silver acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding the future NBA calendar as the country struggles through the coronavirus pandemic. “I continue to believe […]

At this stage of New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton’s decorated career, money is not his main motivator. Despite receiving minimal interest on the free agent market — resulting in a one-year, incentive-laden deal with the New England Patriots — Newton isn’t thinking about hitting bonuses or inking his next contract when he drops back […]

Montrezl Harrell and the Los Angeles Clippers reportedly have “mutual interest” in reaching a new deal this offseason, per Shams Charania of The Athletic.

On Monday, Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn re-iterated his post-game comments after the team’s Week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs: if Tyrod Taylor can play, he’ll be under center in Week 3. “If Tyrod Taylor’s 100%, he’s our quarterback,” Lynn said on Monday, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Taylor was scratched […]

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray won Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2019. Two weeks into his second season, he’s an MVP candidate. The 2019 No. 1 overall pick has improved in seemingly every facet of his game, and the same can be said for his team. After a 30-15 drubbing of the Washington Football […]

The Los Angeles Chargers got the ball to start overtime, providing a golden opportunity to defeat — or at least put pressure on — the defending Super Bowl champions. L.A. failed to pick up a first down after receiving the kick-off, prompting a 4th-and-1 on L.A.’s own 34-yard line. Going for it is risky in […]

If Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid had some issues seeing the field through his foggy face mask in Week 1, it didn’t affect his play-calling. Reid’s COVID-protecting facemask went viral during the Chiefs’ opening night win on Thursday, Sept. 10, but the defending champions’ high-powered offense didn’t seem to miss a beat. Kansas […]

After the Denver Nuggets lost Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals to go down 2-1 to the Los Angeles Clippers, Michael Porter Jr. vented his frustration about not receiving more looks. “We kept going to [Nikola] Jokic and Jamal [Murray],” Porter Jr. lamented at the time. “They are amazing players but we need to […]

The Denver Nuggets have one of the best, if not the best, passing big men of all time in Nikola Jokic. While Jokic is categorized as a center, according to his head coach, the Nuggets are currently facing NBA history’s premier passer at another position in the Western Conference Finals—Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, […]

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton has only played one game for the franchise, but he’s already showing his abilities to lead in the locker room. The veteran signal-caller is making a noticeable effort to mentor second-year Patriots wide receiver N’Keal Harry, who is clearly appreciative of the tutelage. On “Around the NFL” on Friday, […]

The Tennessee Titans rode running back Derrick Henry in 2019, especially in the latter stages of the season.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas suffered a high ankle sprain in the final minutes of his team’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1, which usually sidelines a player for three-to-four weeks.

In the wake of Denver’s Game 7 victory over the favored Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday — their second 3-1 series comeback of this postseason, after their Round 1 […]

The NFL has made an increasing effort in recent years to protect its quarterbacks, primarily in the form of stringent penalties for defensive players who come in close contact with passers in the pocket. Perhaps accordingly, QBs began the 2020 season with their safest week in nine years. Zero of the 32 starting quarterbacks were […]

New England Patriots wide receiver N’Keal Harry committed a near-costly fumble in the team’s Week 1 win over the Miami Dolphins.
