The Philadelphia 76ers spent most of the second half of the 2023-24 campaign holding out hope that star center Joel Embiid would be able to return to the court for them, and sure enough, he has made his return in the nick of time, as the playoffs are right around the corner. With Embiid on […]

The Cleveland Guardians have sprinted out to a 6-2 start on the 2024 campaign, and two of those wins were courtesy of excellent starts from their ace Shane Bieber.

The Cleveland Browns had a strangely successful 2023 campaign.

The Oakland Athletics are a franchise stuck in turmoil both on and off the field currently. When it comes to their play on the diamond, the A’s are the worst team in the league, and it isn’t particularly close. Off the field, their move to Las Vegas has been about as bumpy as possible, with […]

The college sports landscape has changed quite a bit in recent years thanks to the introduction of name, image, and likeness deals, which allows college athletes to partner with brands so that they can profit off of their own name and image.

It’s not exactly a secret that professional athletes make a lot of money. It’s common to see these guys earn hundreds of millions of dollars throughout their careers, but only a select few ever make enough money to become a billionaire. Well, one guy managed to recently achieve that feat in former Los Angeles Lakers […]

Victor Wembanyama entered the NBA with extremely high expectations, and while the San Antonio Spurs have struggled, Wembanyama has looked like the generational prospect he was billed to be prior to entering the league.

Kansas City loves their sports, and right now, there’s a lot of excitement surrounding the Chiefs and Royals in the NFL and MLB.

The New England Patriots have largely completed their work in free agency to this point, setting the stage for what has quickly become a wildly important 2024 NFL Draft.

While some big names flew off the market in MLB free agency this past offseason, that wasn’t the case for everyone, and one guy who endured a very lengthy free agency was Blake Snell.

The Los Angeles Lakers had a five-game win streak snapped by the Indiana Pacers on Friday, but they bounced back on Sunday night against the Brooklyn Nets, picking up a 116-104 victory.

The Boston Red Sox opened their 2024 campaign with a 6-4 win over the Seattle Mariners, and of course, Rafael Devers played a big role in the victory, as he recorded two hits on the night, one of which was a two-run homer that would prove to be the difference in the game. Ahead of […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been one of the most surprising squads in the NBA this year, and after their 111-98 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Friday night, they jumped back up to first place in the Western Conference heading into Saturday’s action. It was clear after the win that the Timberwolves were feeling themselves, […]

The Sacramento Kings have had a pretty rough past 24 hours. Not only did they suffer a crushing 107-103 loss to the Dallas Mavericks, but they also lost Kevin Huerter to a season-ending shoulder injury, and saw Malik Monk suffer a sprained ankle in their loss to the Mavs. All of that may have led […]

The New York Knicks found themselves in a battle they probably weren’t expecting to be in on Friday night against the lowly San Antonio Spurs. And even though Jalen Brunson poured in a career-high 61 points on the night, it wasn’t enough to lead the Knicks to victory, as the Spurs pulled off a wild […]

The Dallas Cowboys have had a fairly quiet offseason, much to the annoyance of their fans, but it’s been clear throughout their quiet free agency that signing star quarterback Dak Prescott to a new long-term contract extension was still their biggest goal of the offseason. Recent reports suggested, though, that the two sides weren’t particularly […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have been on a roll as of late, winning their past five games as they head into their upcoming matchup against the Indiana Pacers.

Kawhi Leonard is one of the more interesting players in the NBA currently. There’s no denying his talent, but his disdain for having to meet with the media and his desire to keep his private life private has made him a mystery in the eyes of NBA fans everywhere.

Even though he didn’t play much in 2023, Damar Hamlin’s return to the field for the Buffalo Bills after he suffered cardiac arrest on the field during their Week 17 contest in 2022 was a heartwarming story for fans to follow. While many folks respect Hamlin’s journey of perseverance to return to the field after […]

The Philadelphia 76ers suffered a hard fought 108-107 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, and after a missed foul call on Kelly Oubre Jr. on the last play of the game, he and Nick Nurse quickly tracked down the referees and gave them an earful for their poor decision. Unsurprisingly, the NBA didn’t […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have found themselves in a bit of a rut, as they have gone just 3-7 over their past ten games to lose control of the number two seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Los Angeles Lakers find themselves in a similar spot as they were in last season, as it looks like they are going to need to make it out of the Play-In Tournament in order to go on a deep playoff run. And assuming the Lakers don’t have a successful playoff run, it looks like […]

The Golden State Warriors picked up a huge 101-93 victory over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night, but the big win was overshadowed by more Draymond Green nonsense.

The 2024 NFL draft class is headlined by three star quarterback prospects in Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Drake Maye.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been on a bit of a roll as of late, as they picked up their fifth straight win on Wednesday night with a 136-124 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. While there have been a lot of things working for the team, head coach Darvin Ham’s decision to stick Rui Hachimura […]

The Denver Broncos are undergoing quite a few changes on the offensive side of the ball this offseason. Their quarterback position has certainly drawn a bit of attention, but they also sent shockwaves across the league when they traded Jerry Jeudy to the Cleveland Browns. Well, it looks like they have found his replacement through […]

The Las Vegas Raiders have had a busy offseason so far, and it looks like they could be set for some improvements after a disappointing 2023 campaign.
