Aaron Rodgers is a lightning rod for controversy, and easily one of his most questionable comments came back during the COVID-19 pandemic when he refused to get vaccinated against the virus, claiming that he was “immunized” from the disease. Given the damage COVID had caused on our society, it’s safe to say those comments didn’t […]

The Denver Broncos shocked the world when they drafted Bo Nix with the 12th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, but the franchise seemed convinced that he was their quarterback of the future. And in his first preseason action for the team against the Indianapolis Colts, Nix helped showcase why the team used their […]

Jerod Mayo and the New England Patriots have spent most of the offseason looking for a number one wide receiver to come in and help out their offense, which made their decision to release veteran wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster so shocking. Smith-Schuster had been employed in a similar role earlier in his career with the […]

The Baltimore Orioles became the first team in the MLB to reach 70 wins on Saturday night when they recorded a 7-5 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, and they have done so despite the fact that their starting rotation has been banged up seemingly all year long. The latest guy to hit the shelf […]

Team USA made it a goal of theirs to do everything in their power to win gold at the 2024 Summer Olympics after they failed to earn a medal at the 2023 FIBA World Cup. Sure enough, with a 98-87 victory over France on Saturday, the Americans won gold, and it was thanks in large […]

Team USA won gold at the 2024 Summer Olympics thanks to a 98-87 victory over France in their gold medal game on Saturday. And while it was certainly a team effort, a flurry of threes from Stephen Curry late in the game put the game to rest for the Americans, while also serving as a […]

The Philadelphia Eagles picked up a 16-13 victory over the Baltimore Ravens in their preseason opener on Friday night, and while their starters didn’t play, there was still a lot to take in from this game. Apparently, there was enough in this game for the Eagles to quickly make a pair of roster moves on […]

Stephen Curry has received quite a bit of praise for his strong play with Team USA in the 2024 Summer Olympics, and considering what he managed to do against Serbia and France in their final two games, it’s not too hard to see why. However, there were a lot of under-the-radar contributors for Team USA […]

The Chicago White Sox made a big change when they fired manager Pedro Grifol and replaced him with Grady Sizemore on Thursday, giving the worst team in the MLB a much needed change. Grady Sizemore was tasked with replacing Grifol in the interim, and given how historically awful Chicago has been this season, it’s safe […]

Considering how they have struggled at times throughout the 2024 Summer Olympics, France entered their semifinal matchup against Germany on Thursday as underdogs.

The Tennessee Titans have a lot of new faces on their team at training camp, but one of the guys that folks are most interested to see on the field isn’t a new face, but rather one that we all haven’t seen in awhile. That would be former first-round pick Caleb Farley, who didn’t take […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have Super Bowl expectations for the 2024 campaign, and they are hoping to get back to the top of the mountain for the first time since 2017.

The Baltimore Ravens are hopeful that they can finally find a way to get over the hump and return to the Super Bowl in 2024.

The Atlanta Braves have been piecing together their starting rotation all season long, but they are struggling quite a bit to find guys who can consistently deliver for them when it’s their turn to take the mound. On Tuesday night, Bryce Elder got the ball, but he got rocked by the Milwaukee Brewers (3.2 IP, […]

For much of the 2023 campaign, the Philadelphia Eagles seemed inevitable, as they stormed out to a 10-1 record and seemed like the best team in the league. From there on out, they won just one more game, and ended up getting eliminated in the wild card round of the playoffs. It was a collapse […]

All offseason long, New England Patriots fans have been clamoring for the team to add a true number one wide receiver to their offense. While they landed a pair of promising pass catchers in Ja’Lynn Polk and Javon Baker in the 2024 NFL Draft, they missed out on Calvin Ridley in free agency and failed […]

The 2024 campaign hasn’t even gotten underway yet, but the Los Angeles Rams, particularly their offensive line, have already gotten hit hard by the injury bug.

The Baltimore Ravens offense appears to be in pretty good shape heading into the 2024 campaign. Lamar Jackson is leading the way at quarterback, with talented playmakers in Derrick Henry, Mark Andrews, and Zay Flowers working alongside him. And yet, you can never have too much help on offense, which led the Ravens to make […]

The 2024 Summer Olympics are still underway, but football fans can’t help but look four years down the line to the 2028 Summer Olympics, because flag football will officially become a part of the games.

Brandon Aiyuk trade rumors have been in full force over the past 24 hours, and it sounds like the New England Patriots are one of the final teams in the running for the San Francisco 49ers star wide receiver. However, it’s clear their head coach Jerod Mayo isn’t all that interested in talking about the […]

The Minnesota Vikings have a new quarterback situation entering the 2024 campaign. Kirk Cousins departed for the Atlanta Falcons in free agency, so the team opted to sign Sam Darnold and use the tenth overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft on JJ McCarthy. While Minnesota is incredibly high on McCarthy’s potential, he may not […]

The Texas Rangers defense of their World Series victory in 2023 hasn’t exactly gone according to plan, and it’s safe to say that injuries have played a big role in their woes.

One of the biggest sagas of the 2024 NFL offseason took a turn on Monday when reports surfaced suggesting that the San Francisco 49ers were now open to trading away star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk.

The New York Mets suffered a 5-4 loss at the hands of the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night, and along the way, they were the victim of a historic pitch from Ben Joyce. The flamethrowing reliever ended the game with a 104.7 MPH pitch that JD Martinez fanned at, with that pitch from Joyce […]

By now, everyone knows that Shohei Ohtani is arguably the best player in the MLB currently. And yet, on a seemingly nightly basis, he just goes out and continues to rewrite the record books with the Los Angeles Dodgers. His latest feat in the Dodgers 10-0 win over the Oakland Athletics on Saturday night saw […]

LeBron James is currently in Paris leading Team USA’s men’s basketball squad on their quest to win a gold medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics, but that doesn’t mean he’s completely tuned out what’s going on back in America with the NBA and his Los Angeles Lakers. On Friday afternoon, the Lakers unveiled the second […]

There weren’t many bright spots for the New England Patriots in 2023, especially on offense. But if there was one, it was probably rookie wide receiver Demario Douglas. After being selected in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, Douglas pretty quickly ended up becoming the Patriots top option at wide receiver, in part […]

After Jayson Tatum got roasted for not playing at all in Team USA’s win over Serbia, it was Joel Embiid who found himself glued to the bench in their win over South Sudan on Wednesday. Head coach Steve Kerr’s lineup combinations for Team USA have been the subject of quite a bit of debate, and […]

There’s bad, and then there’s the Chicago White Sox. With a 27-84 record, the Sox are far and away the worst team in the majors right now, and it looks like it’s going to be quite a while until they become a competitive team again. It’s been a staggering fall from grace considering they had […]

Training camp is well underway for the Cleveland Browns, who are hoping to build off of their impressive 2023 campaign.

The 2024 MLB trade deadline has come and gone, and while it was a fairly tame event compared to years past, teams all across the league were still swinging deals in an effort to either bolster their playoff hopes, or accelerate a potential rebuild.

The Arizona Diamondbacks haven’t had the follow-up season to their World Series run from last year that they were hoping to have, but they are still looking to add to their roster at the trade deadline.

Aaron Rodgers’ debut season with the New York Jets lasted a total of four snaps before he suffered a torn Achilles and was forced to miss the rest of the year. Rodgers is healthy and ready to go for the Jets heading into the 2024 campaign, but he is going to have some lofty expectations […]

The Utah Jazz have found themselves in an interesting spot this offseason. On one hand, they could try to build themselves into a playoff contender around Lauri Markkanen and make a run in the Western Conference.

The 2024 season has been another rough one for the Miami Marlins, and with the trade deadline upon us, it’s clear they will be sellers.
