The Buffalo Bills came up short against the Kansas City Chiefs for the second season in a row in 2021. They spent much of the 2022 offseason working to ensure that wouldn’t be the case this upcoming season. The Bills were already a good team last season, but they made some really solid moves this […]

The Chicago Bears have a lot of drama on their plate heading into their 2022 training camp. After an offseason of turnover, a pair of their star defensive players, Robert Quinn and Roquan Smith, have been rumored to be contemplating holding out of training camp. While Quinn has simply been the subject of trade rumors, […]

Travis Kelce has been one of the best tight ends in the NFL ever since he earned a starting role in the Kansas City Chiefs offense back in 2014. He helped the Chiefs win Super Bowl LIV in 2019, and has been member of one of the NFL All-Pro teams for six straight seasons (he’s […]

The Detroit Lions have some key players that are set to return from injuries at some point during the 2022 season. And heading into training camp, Dan Campbell provided some major injury updates on those key players. Dan Campbell started by saying that young cornerback Jeff Okudah will be back on the field to start […]

The 2022 MLB trade deadline is right around the corner, and big moves are on the verge of being made. One name who keeps popping up in trade rumors, despite his club saying they have no intention of trading him, is Shohei Ohtani. Over his first five seasons in the MLB with the Los Angeles […]

The Baltimore Ravens have been hoping to have much better health heading into the 2022 season. They got hit by the injury bug early and often last season, and it ended up resulting in them missing the playoffs entirely. If they can stay healthy, though, they are clearly one of the best teams in the […]

Von Miller signed one of the biggest contracts of free agency this offseason when he agreed to a six-year, $120 million deal with the Buffalo Bills. It was a shocking turn of events, as many folks figured Miller would stick around with the Los Angeles Rams after just winning a Super Bowl with them last […]

The Seattle Seahawks got decimated by injuries in 2021. The most pressing injury of them all was to their star quarterback Russell Wilson, who suffered a broken finger in Week 5. Wilson returned after missing only three games, but he clearly wasn’t fully healthy, and the Seahawks stumbled to a 7-10 record. It seemed like […]

The Dallas Cowboys had a nice bounce back campaign in 2021 after missing the playoffs entirely in 2020. Still, they came up short against an underdog San Francisco 49ers squad in the NFC Wild Card round, which is not what the team or its fans were looking for last season. There is a sense of […]

Jessie Bates contract dispute has been one of the main storylines surrounding the Cincinnati Bengals offseason. Bates is an integral piece of Cincy’s defense, and their failure to lock him up on a long-term deal has to be viewed as a massive failure for the organization. The Bengals opted to franchise tag Bates at the […]

Justin Fields had an interesting rookie season with the Chicago Bears. The Bears wanted to slowly integrate him into the NFL, but he ended up playing in 12 games, ten of which were starts. That was probably more than the Bears would have liked him to play, and it wasn’t surprising to see him struggle […]

The Cincinnati Bengals have spent the 2022 NFL offseason doing whatever they could to ensure that they be the last team standing in the AFC for the second season straight. After an improbable run to the Super Bowl last season, the Bengals have worked on shoring up their biggest weaknesses, whether it be through free […]

The Chicago Bears status heading into training camp was somewhat murky. After losing some key players this offseason, they had a couple more of their top players contemplating whether or not they should hold out of training camp. One of those players was star linebacker Roquan Smith, who is has made it known this offseason […]

The Chicago Bears have had quite an interesting offseason. They lost some of their best players in trade and free agency, and seem to be undergoing a mini-rebuild of sorts. The more encouraging decision is that they have decided to fully hand over the offense to Justin Fields after not fully commiting to him last […]

The Kansas City Royals are going to be sellers at the 2022 MLB trade deadline. As they labor through another lost season as part of their rebuild, it makes sense for them to pick up as many prospects as they can at the deadline to help speed up the process. Among the most desirable assets […]

The 2022 MLB trade deadline is officially less than a week away. While we haven’t seen a ton of trades go through yet, there are clearly some big moves to be made over the next few days. Teams are finalizing whether or not they will be a buyer or seller, and once that happens, the […]

The past two seasons have not gone Christian McCaffrey’s way. He has only played in 10 games during that two season stretch due to several different injuries that have kept him off the field. Without their top playmaker, Carolina’s offense has struggled as a result. The hope for the Panthers is that McCaffrey will be […]

Lionel Messi has only spent one season with French giants PSG in the Ligue 1, but everyone is curious as to where the Argentinian star could move after his contract expires at the season’s end. Messi is widely expected to depart from PSG once his contract is up, but considering he is still at the […]

Bill Belichick is rarely effusive in his praise for players during their playing careers. Unless he’s trying to make an opponent feel good about themselves before he gears up to throttle them on Sunday, Belichick usually saves his warm comments for players until after they are done playing. That’s certainly the case with Danny Amendola, […]

Patrick Mahomes is probably the top quarterback in the NFL right now. There are 31 other teams in the NFL that would swap quarterbacks with the Kansas City Chiefs if given the opportunity to do so. It makes sense given that, in Mahomes’ first four seasons as a starter for the Chiefs, he has led […]

For the most part, the Cincinnati Bengals have made some stellar moves during the 2022 NFL offseason. They have revamped their offensive line and defense after making an unexpected run to the Super Bowl in 2021 before falling short. After announcing themselves as a top team in the AFC last season, the Bengals look likely […]

The Dejounte Murray trade is one of the biggest moves to take place in the 2022 NBA offseason so far. The Atlanta Hawks decided to go out and get star point guard Trae Young a partner-in-crime for him in the backcourt, and swung a trade with the San Antonio Spurs to land Murray. Murray’s acquisition […]

The New York Giants are hoping to find some answers about the team’s future during the 2022 season. They have a lot of young talent on their roster, but they have failed to consistently win games for the Giants over the past few seasons. As a result, there are a lot of question marks on […]

The Boston Celtics future has been thrown in doubt this morning when it was announced that the team had sent a trade proposal to the Brooklyn Nets for their star forward Kevin Durant that included Boston’s young star forward Jaylen Brown.

Tyreek Hill has been busy hyping up his new Miami Dolphins squad ever since he got his trade off the Kansas City Chiefs. And just when you think Hill can’t get any more outrageous with his comments, he finds a way to top himself every time without fail. Hill was back at it with the […]

The NBA world has devolved into chaos this morning as a result of the Boston Celtics reported trade proposal for Brooklyn Nets star forward Kevin Durant. The reports say that the Celtics young forward Jaylen Brown was included in Boston’s trade proposal for Durant, which has certainly drawn a polarized reaction from basketball fans everywhere. […]

Dalvin Cook is clearly one of the best running backs in the NFL. Ever since the Minnesota Vikings handed him the starting role in 2019, Cook has been a force to be reckoned with. He’s made the Pro Bowl in each season he’s been a starter, while also eclipsing the 1000 yard mark in each […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are set for a transitional campaign when the 2022 NFL season arrives. With longtime quarterback Ben Roethlisberger gone, the Steelers are looking for their next quarterback of the future. The Steelers selected Kenny Pickett with their first pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, implying that he will be their guy moving forward. […]

The Boston Celtics have had a very successful past few months. They went on an unbelievable tear after an 18-21 start to the 2021-22 season, and ended up making it all the way to the NBA Finals as a result. Although they came up short, Boston’s front office has made some really solid moves on […]

There is a lot of excitement surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers right now. After a mightily disappointing 2021-22 season, they have revamped their bench and been involved in trade talks for star point guard Kyrie Irving of the Brooklyn Nets. They have also overhauled their coaching staff, with Frank Vogel going out the door and […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are looking like Super Bowl contenders again for the 2022 season. The reason for that is because of the work they were able to put in this offseason. At one point this offseason, the Buccaneers were faced with the possibility of having to rebuild just one season after winning Super Bowl […]

The Baltimore Ravens are hoping the 2022 season will be much different for them than the 2021 season was. The Ravens were beleaguered by injuries from the get-go, and it resulted in them missing the postseason entirely, which was an unbelievably disappointing result given the hope that surrounded the team heading into the season. But […]

For a point in time, it seemed like LaMarcus Aldridge’s career was over. He announced his retirement from the NBA on April 15, 2021 due to an irregular heartbeat, which was an abrupt end to Aldridge’s storied career. But he got medical clearence to return to the court just a few months later, and rejoined […]

Blake Griffin has had a pretty steep fall from grace over the past few seasons. The former “Lob City” member has lost his burst since his Los Angeles Clippers heyday, and has since spent time with the Detroit Pistons and Brooklyn Nets. Griffin is now looking for a new home, as he is reportedly not […]

Carmelo Anthony has put together quite the second act in his NBA career. After being out of the league for most of the 2018-19 season, Anthony latched on with the Portland Trail Blazers and found a new role for himself as a secondary scorer who usually comes off the bench. Everyone thought Anthony was done […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had a roller-coaster ride of a 2022 NFL offseason. When Tom Brady announced his retirement shortly after the 2021 season, it seemed like the Bucs were set for another lengthy rebuild. But then Brady unretired, and the Buccaneers were once again one of the top teams in the NFL. The […]

The Indianapolis Colts are looking forward to the 2022 season. After just missing out on the postseason in 2021, they have made some subtle upgrades on both sides of the ball. Matt Ryan is set to take over at quarterback, while the defense continues to be built around star linebacker Darius Leonard. If everything breaks […]

Pete Rose has one of the most polarizing legacies in MLB history. His skills were undeniable, and his major league record for career hits, sitting at 4,256, may never be broken. Rose’s legendary 23-year career will always be a part of the record books. Yet Rose was banned for life from MLB when he was […]

The Chicago Bears are hoping to improve after a transition year in 2021. They struggled to find any sort of consistency throughout the season on either side of the ball, and were forced to throw rookie quarterback Justin Fields into the fire sooner than they would have liked. 2022 will hopefully be a different story.
