The Kansas City Royals have been one of the bigger surprises across the MLB this season, as they are firmly in the American League wild card race as the All-Star break approaches. A big reason for their success has been their starting rotation, with offseason free agent signing Seth Lugo leading the way as a […]

Things haven’t been going too well for the USMNT as of late. They didn’t even manage to advance past the group stage in the 2024 Copa America, which resulted in them dismissing their head coach Gregg Berhalter. That means the search for a new coach has gotten underway, and it looks like Jurgen Klopp has […]

The Tennessee Titans have been hard at work this offseason after a disappointing 2023 campaign, and even in one of the quietest times of the year for NFL teams, they are still making moves. Their latest move saw them get some more help in their secondary with the addition of former All-Pro safety Jamal Adams. […]

Team USA cruised to an 86-72 victory over Canada in their exhibition contest on Wednesday night, but they did so without Kevin Durant, who is currently dealing with a minor calf injury. Despite the fact that he wasn’t on the court, Durant still managed to make some shockwaves recently thanks to a picture of him […]

While a lot of basketball fans were watching Team USA’s exhibition game against Canada on Wednesday night, there was also some Summer League action that took place too. Most notably, Bronny James took the court once again for the Los Angeles Lakers in their 80-76 loss at the hands of the Miami Heat. The Lakers […]

The 2024 Team USA squad played their first contest together on Wednesday night when they took on Canada in an exhibition match, and they ended up coming out on top with an 86-72 victory.

Team USA was dealt some tough news on Wednesday morning when it was announced that Kawhi Leonard would be withdrawing from the team, forcing a replacement to come in and fill his shoes. While Derrick White ended up being the guy selected, many fans quickly pined for Duke basketball phenom Cooper Flagg to be Leonard’s […]

Team USA is gearing up for the 2024 Summer Olympics, and with their star-studded squad, it’s clear that they are going to be the frontrunner to come away with the gold medal for their country. That isn’t necessarily a given, though, as fans saw Team USA struggle and ultimately fail to earn a medal last […]

In an MLB season full of surprises, the Boston Red Sox may just be the biggest surprise of the bunch. After a very quiet offseason that very nearly caused their fans to riot, the Red Sox have put their heads down and gotten to work. The result has been a team that was largely expected […]

The New Orleans Pelicans went out and swung a trade with the Atlanta Hawks to acquire Dejounte Murray, adding a star into their backcourt in the process. While the Hawks didn’t exactly flourish during Murray’s two seasons with the team, he took strides on the offensive end of the floor, and at his peak, he’s […]

The New York Knicks, also known as the ‘Nova Knicks considering how four of their starters played together in college at Villanova, are a pretty tight group. Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart literally host their own podcast together, and now that Mikal Bridges is in the fold after New York pulled off a blockbuster trade […]

The Golden State Warriors dynasty may not officially be over, but if it does continue on, it will look a lot different than it did in the past. That’s because the Warriors big three of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green was officially broken up when Thompson landed with the Dallas Mavericks in free […]

Even though the Atlanta Braves currently find themselves sitting eight games behind the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League East, their 49-39 record is still good enough for the first wild card spot in the NL. Still, not everything has gone according to plan for the Braves this season, and that could result in them […]

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind for Boston Celtics superstar forward Jayson Tatum. With a dominant victory in Game 5 of the 2024 NBA Finals over the Dallas Mavericks, Tatum won the first title of his career for the C’s, and he has been on a victory tour of sorts with his team […]

The San Francisco Giants may have a sub .500 record at 44-47, but they are still in the thick of the National League wild card race, as they sit just 3.5 games behind the San Diego Padres for the third and final spot. If the Giants are going to make it to the playoffs, though, […]

While Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 2023-24 campaign with the Milwaukee Bucks didn’t go according to plan, he has an opportunity to do something special with the Greece basketball team this summer. After they defeated Croatia 80-69 in their qualifying contest on Sunday afternoon, Greece officially qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics. This is the first time that […]

The Los Angeles Angels are once again enduring a tough campaign, as they have just a 37-51 record heading into play on Sunday afternoon. As a result, they are likely going to be acting as sellers again at the trade deadline, and while they have a handful of players who are drawing interest on the […]

The 2024 campaign has not gone according to plan for the Texas Rangers. After they won the 2023 World Series, the hope was that this team could run the American League West division for years to come. Instead, they have just a 41-48 record heading into play on Sunday afternoon, and their poor play could […]

The Phoenix Suns first season with their new big three of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal did not go as planned, as they were swept out of the playoffs in the first round by the Minnesota Timberwolves. As a result, questions about the future of the team quickly began to pop up, and […]

It’s been a bit of a rough 2024 campaign for Yu Darvish so far. While he’s been solid when he’s been on the mound (4-3, 3.20 ERA, 53 K, 1.07 WHIP), he’s spent time on the injured list twice this season. And even though he’s still on the injured list currently, the San Diego Padres […]

The Chicago Bulls are officially rebuilding. After failing to win with their big three of DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and Nikola Vucevic, the Bulls continued their rebuild by sending DeRozan to the Sacramento Kings in a sign-and-trade on Saturday night. It was an admission of failure by the front office and the latest move to […]

After the first wave of free agents came off the board, DeMar DeRozan was the best remaining free agent available. It seemed like he was trending towards joining the Sacramento Kings over the past few days, and sure enough, that’s where he ended up landing, as he agreed to a three-year, $74 million contract after […]

The Charlotte Hornets are hoping to turn things around in the 2024-25 campaign, as they have a collection of talented young players they are building around. Further helping their cause is the return of Miles Bridges, as it was announced that the talented forward had re-signed with the team in free agency on a three-year, […]

The New York Mets have been working hard over the past few weeks to get themselves back into the playoff hunt in the National League Wild Card race, but on Friday night, they didn’t exactly do themselves any favors. They suffered a 14-2 rout at the hands of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the first guy […]

Klay Thompson’s stint with the Golden State Warriors has officially come to an end. The Dallas Mavericks signed him to a three-year, $50 million deal in a sign-and-trade with the Warriors, and with that, his 12-season stint playing alongside his longtime teammates Stephen Curry and Draymond Green came to an end. While it was long […]

JD Martinez has been having a solid debut season for the New York Mets (.278 BA, 10 HR, 37 RBI, .853 OPS), but he was forced to miss their extra-innings win over the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night due to a sore ankle. The reason for his sore ankle, though, was something that quickly caught […]

The New York Yankees may have suffered a 5-4 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night, but that didn’t stop Aaron Judge from continuing to hit the cover off the baseball. Judge went 3-4 on the night, scoring two runs and hitting his league-leading 32nd home run of the season along the way. With […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a big question mark at the quarterback position heading into the 2024 campaign, but the good news is that their defense, particularly their defensive line, is in great shape. And once again, they will be led by veteran stalwart Cam Heyward, who is set to return for his 14th season this […]

For years, the Dallas Cowboys have been coming up short of expectations in the postseason, and recently, even the addition of superstar linebacker Micah Parsons hasn’t been enough to get them over the hump. Shockingly enough, if you ask one of his teammates in safety Malik Hooker, Parsons could actually be one of the main […]

Back in 2022, the Washington Nationals made the incredibly difficult decision to trade Juan Soto to the San Diego Padres. However, they recouped a massive haul of prospects, and they have already begun to reap the rewards of that deal. CJ Abrams and MacKenzie Gore are both key pieces of the team currently, and the […]

Tyler Herro has had a rough start to the offseason. While he played well when he was on the court during the regular season (20.8 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 4.5 APG, 44.1 FG%), he struggled mightily in the Heat’s first-round playoff series against the Boston Celtics (16.8 PPG, 5.4 APG, 3.6 RPG, 38.5 FG%). As a […]

The Boston Celtics had extremely high expectations heading into the 2023-24 campaign, and they managed to live up to those expectations by going out and winning the 2024 NBA Finals. The C’s dominated in the regular season and in the playoffs, and it all culminated in plans for the raising of Banner 18 getting underway. […]

Free agency is officially underway in the NHL, and tons of big deals are being hammered out across the league. The New Jersey Devils were one of several teams that quickly got in on the action, as they brought in a pair of defensemen in Brett Pesce and Brenden Dillon on big new contracts. After […]

NHL free agency is just about to start, and two guys who will end up being on the move are Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault. The Tampa Bay Lightning and Vegas Golden Knights, respectively, seem to be moving in different directions, which has opened the door for the Nashville Predators to make some big moves. […]

The Dallas Mavericks have had quite a hectic start to free agency, and it doesn’t seem like they will be slowing down anytime soon. While they did lose Derrick Jones Jr. to the Los Angeles Clippers, they managed to replace him by signing Naji Marshall to a three-year, $27 million deal. Perhaps the biggest rumor […]

Free agency is set to kick off on Monday at 12 PM EST, and there could be some huge moves made right off the bat. While there are several big names that fans are keeping an eye on, one of the more compelling storylines right now surrounds Steven Stamkos and the Tampa Bay Lightning. With […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers 14-7 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night will look like a blowout on the surface, but it was actually a tightly contested game that needed extra innings in order to determine a winner. A seven-run 11th inning helped get the Dodgers over the hump, and the guy who […]

The Los Angeles Clippers could look very different next season depending on how free agency goes over the next few days. Paul George is obviously the big name everyone is keeping an eye on after he opted out of his deal on Saturday, but another one of the top free agents on the market is […]

With free agency right around the corner in the NHL, one of the biggest names who was set to hit the open market was Carolina Hurricanes star forward Jake Guentzel. However, it looks like Guentzel might not hit the open market after all, as the Tampa Bay Lightning have swung a big trade with the […]
