The Toronto Raptors have made it clear this season that they intend on entering a full-scale rebuild. After trading away Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby, it’s clear they aren’t intent on winning in the near future. With that in mind, it makes sense to see what they have in their young players as they attempt […]

The Tampa Bay Lightning haven’t had their greatest season ever, but they are still firmly in the playoff hunt as the 2024 NHL trade deadline draws near. However, they have a new need to address now that defenseman Mikhail Sergachev is going to be out for the rest of the season after he suffered a […]

The Charlotte Hornets were busy at the 2024 NBA trade deadline, as they sold off a pair of key pieces in P.J. Washington and Gordon Hayward in an attempt to clear up their salary cap and recoup some future assets. After their latest tough loss of the season on Friday night at the hands of […]

There were a lot of big name free agents available this offseason (heck, there still are quite a few on the market), but the biggest of the bunch was easily two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani. Just like seemingly every other free agent this offseason, Ohtani decided to sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers, marking the first […]

The 2024 NBA trade deadline wasn’t all that explosive, with the biggest move of the day belonging to the New York Knicks when they landed Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks in a deal with the Detroit Pistons. In the process, the Knicks sent a message to the rest of the league that they mean business, […]

Super Bowl 58 between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers is just a few days away, and there may not be a player more vital to their team’s success in this game than Travis Kelce. When Kelce is able to get open and produce, the Chiefs offense hums up and down the field. […]

The 2024 NBA trade deadline is here, and deals are starting to fly in like crazy across the league. One of the more surprising deals of the morning saw the Toronto Raptors pick up Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agabji from the Utah Jazz in exchange for Otto Porter Jr., Kira Lewis Jr., and a 2024 […]

All season long, the Phoenix Suns depth has been their biggest weakness, and with the trade deadline approaching, that looks to be an area that they are looking to address. That has led them to the Brooklyn Nets, where a pair of solid two-way forwards appear to have caught their attention. The 2023-24 season has […]

The trade deadline is just hours away, and one of the biggest names who could end up being on the move is Kyle Kuzma. The Washington Wizardsare  laboring through a horrific campaign, and teams are checking in to see if they have any interest in moving Kuzma, with the Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings being […]

The Edmonton Oilers were looking to etch their names in the record books on Tuesday night against the Vegas Golden Knights by tying the 1992-93 Pittsburgh Penguins 17-game win streak. Instead, they ended up falling just a game short of matching that feat, as the Golden Knights picked up a 3-1 victory over the Oilers […]

The 2023-24 NHL season is back underway with the All-Star break in the rearview mirror now, and the Calgary Flames kicked off the homestretch of their campaign with a dominant 4-1 victory over one of the top teams in the league in the Boston Bruins. And after the game, the big win elicited quite a […]

The Boston Celtics have cooled off a bit over the past month, but with a 38-12 record, they still comfortably have the best record in the league as we approach the trade deadline. The Celtics have been the top team in the league all season long, and that shouldn’t change because they haven’t been as […]

The 2023-24 campaign has been a rocky one for LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, but they may be finding some momentum after picking up a pair of big wins over the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks in their past two games. And after their Monday night contest against the Charlotte Hornets, the […]

The Washington Commanders were the final team in the NFL this offseason to hire a new head coach, and they landed on former Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn as their guy. However, it was clear to many fans that Quinn wasn’t their first choice, and it turns out he may not have even been […]

The 2023-24 season has not been kind to the Washington Wizards, as their 9-40 record is the second worst in the entire league with the trade deadline approaching. While the Wizards weren’t expected to be good, they weren’t necessarily expected to be this bad, and it’s clear that the organization’s rebuilding efforts are going to […]

The New York Knicks have been the hottest team in the NBA as of late, as they are in the middle of a nine-game win streak that has seen them move up to the third seed in the Eastern Conference. There have been a lot of impressive developments throughout this streak, but Jalen Brunson’s play […]

The 2023-24 season has not been kind to both the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers. Heading into play on Saturday, February 3rd, they currently sit in 12th and ninth place in the Western Conference, respectively, which is a far cry from the title contender hopes they had entering the season. As a result, […]

The Phoenix Suns are beginning to find their way as a team, but they are still culpable of suffering ugly losses like the one they suffered at the hands of the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night. While Kevin Durant led the way in this one (35 PTS, 8 REB, 8 AST, 14/24 FGM), Bradley Beal […]

The Minnesota Twins have lost a lot of talent from their roster after making it to the ALDS last season, which will make their already tough task of going on a playoff run again this season all the more difficult in 2024. On Friday night, though, the Twins managed to bring some talent to town […]

The Washington Commanders were the final team with a head coaching vacancy this offseason, and they managed to fill the position by bringing in former Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn. While stealing away the leader of the Cowboys defense is already one thing, Jahan Dotson wants to take it one step further. Back in […]

With the Washington Commanders hiring Dan Quinn to be their next head coach, all 32 teams in the NFL currently have their head coach for the upcoming 2024 season. After he parted ways with the New England Patriots shortly after the conclusion of their season, that has left arguably the greatest head coach in the […]

The Washington Commanders were the final team looking for a new head coach, and on Thursday morning, they finally picked who their new leader will be. After an extensive hiring process, the Commanders have picked former Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn to be their new head coach, meaning all 32 teams in the NFL […]

After a wildly encouraging 2022 campaign, the 2023 season was a mess for the New York Giants. They struggled with injuries and internal conflict on their way to a 6-11 record on the season, and it’s clear they have a lot of work to do this offseason. That is certainly true when it comes to […]

Joel Embiid is putting together another MVP-caliber season for the Philadelphia 76ers, but if he keeps on missing games at the rate he currently is, he won’t have a shot to win the award. That’s because of new rules the league put in place this past offseason for their individual awards in an attempt to […]

It’s no secret that the 2023 season went off the rails pretty quickly for Robert Saleh and the New York Jets, thanks to Aaron Rodgers tearing his Achilles on just his fourth play of the season. That thrust Zach Wilson back into the spotlight, and well, it’s safe to say he doesn’t have much of […]

The Carolina Hurricanes are rolling into the All-Star break, having won seven of their last ten games as they push the New York Rangers for the spot seed in the Metropolitan Division. It’s been a good stretch for the Hurricanes, and it may have just gotten better with the latest update to star goalie Frederik […]

The New England Patriots have a lot of work to do this offseason, and they have already made a pair of big moves by replacing longtime head coach Bill Belichick with Jerod Mayo, and promoting DeMarcus Covington to become their new defensive coordinator. Even with those two moves being made, there’s still so much the […]

The Baltimore Ravens came up just short in their quest to make it to the Super Bowl, as they suffered a 17-10 loss at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, they are forced to head into the offseason earlier than they would have hoped, and they have some big questions to answer, with […]

The Detroit Lions very nearly found their way into Super Bowl 58, but ended up collapsing and losing the NFC Championship Game 34-31 at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers. Coming up just short of having a shot to win it all is very tough, and Rex Ryan is one guy who certainly understands […]

The Detroit Lions came just short of finding their way to Super Bowl 58, as they suffered a crushing 34-31 loss at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game. Of course, the main talking point from this game was Dan Campbell’s aggressive decision-making on fourth-down, and how it likely ended […]

With a 19-23 record, it’s safe to say it’s been an ugly season for the Golden State Warriors, and a guy playing a big part in those struggles is Andrew Wiggins. After becoming a crucial piece of their rotation over the past few seasons, Wiggins has regressed mightily this year, and it’s getting to the […]

There wasn’t much good that came from the Dallas Mavericks 132-109 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. Not only did they throw away an early 16-point lead and get run off the court by the Suns, but star point guard Luka Doncic caught some heat for having a Suns fan ejected for a relatively […]

The New York Rangers have been cruising this season, as their 61 points have them sitting atop the Metropolitan Division currently. Making things even better for them, it seemed like they were set to get center Filip Chytil back from an injury soon after he returned to practice on Thursday, but just one day later, […]

The Chicago Bears have a massive decision to make when it comes to the future of their offense this offseason, and unsurprisingly, they have been hard at work revamping their coaching staff on that side of the ball already. After hiring Shane Waldron to be their new offensive coordinator, the Bears quickly moved to reunite […]

The NBA trade deadline is less than two weeks away now, and all eyes are on the Chicago Bulls to see if they are going to end up trading star guard Zach LaVine. Trade rumors have been swirling around LaVine for months now, and while several teams have been linked to him, it’s beginning to […]

The Philadelphia Flyers find themselves in the midst of a poorly timed cold stretch, as they have lost their last four games to allow the Carolina Hurricanes to pass them in the Metropolitan Division standings. However, they got a good piece of news on Friday morning when it was announced that the team was closing […]

The Carolina Panthers pulled off an interesting move on Thursday when they opted to hire former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Dave Canales as their new head coach. Canales wasn’t really viewed as a frontrunner for the job, but he ended up quickly emerging as Carolina’s top candidate, and the result is the first head-coaching […]

The Australian Open Final is set, and surprisingly, Novak Djokovic won’t be a part of the matchup. That’s because the Serbian tennis superstar ended up crashing out of the tournament in the semi-finals at the hands of Jannik Sinner, as he lost in four sets to the rising Italian star. Djokovic never really found his […]

The San Francisco 49ers are gearing up for the NFC Championship Game against the Detroit Lions, and all eyes are on Deebo Samuel. The star wide receiver was forced out of their Divisional Round win over the Green Bay Packers early with a shoulder injury, but there is hope that he will be able to […]
