The St. Louis Cardinals have emerged from the 2022 MLB trade deadline on fire. They have won six straight, and eight of their last nine, to retake sole possesion of first place in the National League Central.

NFL training camp can occassionally lead to some unusual antics, particularly when it comes to players retiring from out of nowhere.

Hunter Renfrow was one of the breakout stars from the 2021 NFL season.

Renfrow was an afterthought for many fantasy managers when […]

The Philadelphia Eagles revamped their offense this offseason around their young quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Devin Singletary has struggled to assert himself as the top running back in the Buffalo Bills offense for much of his career.

Michael Thomas is set to make his return to the football field with the New Orleans Saints in 2022 after missing the entire 2021 season with an ankle injury.

The Los Angeles Angels became sellers at the 2022 MLB trade deadline. One name that they were rumored to be looking into selling was star two-way player Shohei Ohtani.

The Panthers quarterback situation is still murky, but Moore can be […]

The Chicago Bears 2022 season will reveal a lot about the direction the franchise is headed in over the next few years.
