The Kansas City Chiefs aren’t blowing opponents out of the water like we’ve been accustomed to seeing them do, but they have still reeled off five straight wins after opening their season with a tough loss to the Detroit Lions. However, things likely aren’t going to be getting better on offense for the Chiefs after […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had a surprisingly strong start to the 2023 season, posting a 3-1 record through their first four games before they had their bye week in Week 5. They will have a tough challenge on their plate as they return to action against the Detroit Lions, making the statuses of Mike […]

Not much went right for the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2023 MLB campaign, and early on in the offseason, it looks like the team has more bad news to deal with. Reports have begun to filter in saying that the Cardinals baseball academy in the Dominican Republic was the subject of an armed robbery, […]

Patrick Beverley has long been one of the most feisty defenders in the NBA, and unsurprisingly, he dishes quite a bit of trash talk to the opponents that he comes in contact with. Ahead of the 2023-24 campaign, Beverley picked out the five biggest trash talkers in the league, and unsurprisingly, he included himself on […]

The Atlanta Braves were the best team in the MLB for pretty much the entire 2023 campaign. Unfortunately, that didn’t serve them much good in the postseason, where they were eliminated by the Philadelphia Phillies in four games in their NLDS series. For the second straight year, a season full of so much potential will […]

The Atlanta Braves were the best team in the MLB for much of the 2023 campaign, but they once again ran into the Philadelphia Phillies in the NLDS, and ended up getting ousted in disappointing fashion. For all the talent the Braves have, they collectively failed to show up in this series, and star first […]

The Boston Celtics are preparing for their upcoming campaign with some preseason contests currently, and so far, they’ve looked pretty solid, picking up a pair of wins over the Philadelphia 76ers, while losing to the New York Knicks. There’s always some good and bad to take away from the preseason, and it must be taken […]

The New Orleans Pelicans will enter the 2023-24 season hoping to enjoy a more healthy campaign, and the guy that primarily applies to is Zion Williamson. After missing the entire 2021-22 season, Williamson played in just 29 games last year, and while he seems healthy as the Pelicans return to the court, Stephen A. Smith […]

The Texas Rangers cruised into the ALCS thanks to a stellar outing from Nathan Eovaldi in Game 3 against the Baltimore Orioles. Eovaldi’s final line in the clincher for the Rangers was superb ( 7 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 7 K), and Texas’ bats gave Eovaldi more than enough run support, leading to a […]

When one week of the NFL season ends, another one begins very quickly, and that’s the case with Week 6 of the 2023 NFL season, which is right around the corner. The Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs will be kicking off the new week of action, and for fantasy football owners, it’s a chance […]

The New England Patriots have been blown out in back-to-back games in embarrassing fashion, and that has raised a lot of questions about Mac Jones’ future as the starting quarterback of this team. Despite those questions, all signs have pointed to Jones being the starter under center again for the Patriots in Week 6 against […]

In the NBA, once players retire, they often stick around the game of basketball in one way or another. One common outlet to keep basketball in their lives involves becoming a coach, as they already have a firm understanding of the game, and can relate to the struggles players endure throughout the course of the […]

Fantasy football is well underway now, and as we enter Week 6 of the season, owners should have a good idea of what their team looks like. The running back position is always filled with turnover, and that has been the case once again this season, as the rankings from Week 1 and the rankings […]

The Atlanta Braves escaped Game 2 of their NLDS series against the Philadelphia Phillies thanks to a game-saving, and potentially season-saving catch, from outfielder Michael Harris II. Harris robbed Nick Castellanos of what would have been a game-tying extra base hit, and managed to get the ball back into the infield fast enough to double-up […]

We are five weeks into the 2023 NFL season, and by now, many fantasy football owners know what to make of their teams. While there’s still a lot of football to play, the makeup of your team is set, and as always, the guy leading the charge is going to be your quarterback. The quarterback […]

The Minnesota Vikings haven’t had the start to the 2023 season that they were hoping for, crawling out to a 1-4 start over their first five games. And now, to make matters worse, they have been dealt a crushing injury update in regards to superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Jefferson, who was forced out of […]

The Dallas Cowboys were feeling pretty confident heading into their big Week 5 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, but by the time the game was over, the 42-10 margin of defeat left them searching for answers. And among the biggest reasons for their defeat was Dak Prescott, whose poor play drew some fiery criticism from […]

The Carolina Panthers woeful start to the 2023 season continued with their 42-24 Week 5 loss to the Detroit Lions. Nobody is happy with losing games in the NFL, but Brian Burns’ passion may have come out a bit too much during this one, as he subbed himself out of the game and slammed his […]

The San Francisco 49ers are rolling to start the 2023 campaign, as they have gotten off to a 5-0 start, and are fresh off thrashing the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. Brock Purdy has made the Niners look great for sticking with him as their starting quarterback, but a recent comparison from Dan Orlovsky […]

For years, Bill Belichick has been the face of the ruthless New England Patriots run of success in the NFL. Belichick led the Patriots to each of their six Super Bowl victories, and ran the most efficient operation the league has ever seen in an era where building a continuous winner was supposed to be […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars haven’t exactly had the start to the 2023 season they were hoping for, as they have gone 2-2 over their first four games, which is worse than fans were hoping for. However, the Jaguars should still be favored to come out on top in the AFC South, and the latest update on […]

The Anaheim Ducks are heading into the 2023-24 season with a lot of hope, thanks in large part to adding an extremely promising prospect in Leo Carlsson with the second overall pick of the 2023 NHL Draft. However, those hopes were quickly dashed on Saturday when it was announced that Carlsson picked up an injury […]

The New England Patriots did not look good at all in their 38-3 blowout loss at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4, and a primary culprit for the loss was Mac Jones. Jones struggled under center (12/21, 150 YDS, 2 INT) before he got benched in the third quarter in favor of […]

Washington football has raced out to a 5-0 start to their season, and while that has been massively encouraging, one big question surrounding the school as a whole involved their athletic director position. Jennifer Cohen bolted for USC right before the start of the season, and ever since then, the search for a proper replacement […]

Carmelo Anthony put together a historic career in the NBA during his time in the league, but in the international landscape, he also accomplished quite a bit with Team USA. Anthony represented his country on several different occasions, and ended up winning three gold medals with America during his time playing for them in the […]

There were a lot of disappointing teams across the MLB in the 2023 campaign, but the St. Louis Cardinals will surely come in towards the top of that group. The Cardinals, who won the National League Central in 2022, were expected to win their division again this season, but instead, ended up finishing in last […]

Nebraska grinded out a 20-7 victory over Illinois on Friday for their first Big Ten victory of the season, but even then, Matt Rhule had something to complain about after the game. Of course, it had nothing to do with his team, who went out and picked up a hard-fought win, but rather the officials, […]

The latest installment of the Red River Rivalry between Oklahoma and Texas is set to get underway shortly, and as is always the case when these two teams meet up, this figures to be one of the best games of the week in all of college football. With both squads being ranked this year after […]

Caleb Williams is fresh off winning the Heisman Trophy last season with USC football, and it looks like he’s putting together a strong case to win his second straight Heisman early on in 2023. Williams has been nearly perfect through five games for the Trojans (105/141, 1603 YDS, 21 TD, 1 INT, 26 CAR, 83 […]

The Dallas Mavericks opened their preseason slate of action in Abu Dhabi against the Minnesota Timberwolves with a 111-99 loss, but they will have one more opportunity to pick up a win overseas before returning to the United States. However, they may have to do so without Kyrie Irving, who is dealing with a groin […]

The Boston Red Sox remained somewhat competitive for much of the 2023 campaign, but when all was said and done, they finished with a 78-84 record, and missed out on the playoffs by quite a big margin. Changes will be made this offseason, and in a sense, they have already been made now that Chaim […]

The Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves kicked off the 2023-24 slate of NBA preseason action on Thursday afternoon with their first contest in Abu Dhabi. While it is still a preseason outing, the top players from each team did see the court for some time during this one, and for the Mavs, it sounds like […]

The Detroit Lions have had a long week to rest up and prepare for their Week 5 matchup against the Carolina Panthers after beating the Green Bay Packers 34-20 on Thursday Night Football in Week 4. Even with the extra time off, it may not be enough for star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown to […]

The Miami Marlins were ecstatic to have found their way into the 2023 MLB Playoffs as the fifth seed in the National League bracket. Unfortunately for them, they didn’t last long in the playoffs, as they were quickly swept out of the action by the Philadelphia Phillies in just two games, sending them onto vacation […]

Damian Lillard spent pretty much his entire offseason trying to find his way off of the Portland Trail Blazers, and he succeeded in that quest by getting dealt to the Milwaukee Bucks. While there’s no doubt Lillard is thrilled with this on-court development, he is currently dealing with a tough off-court issue that has caught […]

The Boston Celtics have turned the NBA on their head once again, with their latest big move seeing them pull off a blockbuster trade for Jrue Holiday. The C’s latest move once again boosts their title chances in a competitive Eastern Conference, and gives them arguably the best six-player starting rotation in the entire league. […]

The Miami Heat’s pursuit of Damian Lillard this offseason came up short, as the star point guard ended up being dealt to one of the Heat’s top rivals in the Milwaukee Bucks. Miami fans aren’t too thrilled with the deal, and Jimmy Butler is right there with them. However, the reason why Butler apparently doesn’t […]

The Cleveland Browns were dealt a shock just hours before their Week 4 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens when it was revealed that Deshaun Watson wasn’t going to be suiting up for the game due to a shoulder injury. That forced rookie fifth-round quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center, and considering the 28-3 score of the […]

The Chicago Cubs managed to make a playoff push for much of the 2023 campaign, and while they ultimately came up short, it’s safe to say that it was an encouraging campaign for the Cubs. Much of that is due to David Ross’ success as the team’s manager, and he’s received quite a bit of […]
