Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame very nearly pulled out a huge win over Ohio State on Saturday night, but ended up allowing the Buckeyes to score a game-winning touchdown with one second left on the clock. It was tough to see the Fighting Irish throw away a winnable game, but it was even more irritating […]

The Indianapolis Colts have had a decent start to their 2023 campaign, but have a tough Week 3 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Anthony Richardson has already been ruled out for the game, and the Colts trimmed their running back depth on Saturday morning by surprisingly releasing Deon Jackson. There may be a Jonathan Taylor […]

Only two weeks of the 2023 NFL season are in the books, yet there have already been a handful of big injuries that have wreaked havoc on the fantasy football landscape. As we head into Week 3, it’s worth taking a closer look at some of the injuries that could end up keeping key players […]

For much of the 2023 season, the San Diego Padres have been a wildly disappointing team. And yet, with just eight games left in the season, the Padres find themselves playing their best baseball of the year, as they are currently in the middle of an eight-game win streak. While they still sit four games […]

The Atlanta Braves have been on a roll all season long, which is typically what’s going to happen when you have Ronald Acuna Jr. on your team. Acuna has been on fire all season long, and he looks set to be on the way to the first MVP award of his career. Further cementing his […]

Mac Jones and the New England Patriots have suffered two straight losses to open their 2023 campaign, and they will be looking to right the ship in Week 3 against the New York Jets. There’s no shame in losing to the Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins, but it’s clear that there’s a sense of urgency […]

There have been a lot of surprising developments to start the 2023 NFL campaign, but arguably the biggest of the bunch is the fact that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have started the season off with a 2-0 record. Baker Mayfield has looked great through his first two games with the Bucs, but he may owe […]

The Green Bay Packers suffered a hard-fought loss in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons, and it was clear throughout the game that they missed star running back Aaron Jones. Jones picked up a hamstring injury that forced him to miss Green Bay’s second game of the season, and as a result, all eyes are […]

The Buffalo Bills are preparing for their Week 3 contest against the Washington Commanders, but they were dealt a surprising blow on Thursday morning when Christian Kirksey suddenly announced his retirement. Kirksey hadn’t played yet for Buffalo this season, but was expected to be a contributor to their linebacker corps after coming off the best […]

There are a lot of great stories in the NFL, but there aren’t many as unique as former Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl winning offensive lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif. Duvernay-Tardif helped Kansas City win Super Bowl 54 over the San Francisco 49ers, but he made a big decision after that season that ended up reshaping his […]

Fantasy football owners have endured a wild two weeks to open the 2023 campaign, and it doesn’t look like things are going to be slowing down heading into Week 3. One of the biggest surprises so far has been how many top-tier contributors have been on the Los Angeles Rams offense, but one guy who […]

The Orlando Magic have a lot of young talent on their roster currently, and it’s clear that of that group, Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner are leading the way. Banchero and Wagner have tons of potential that they began to tap into last season, but ahead of the 2023-24 season, their head coach Jamahl Mosley […]

The Boston Bruins lost some key players this offseason, chief among them being their captain Patrice Bergeron. Bergeron closed the book on a legendary career with the Bruins, and while he will need to be replaced on the ice, his leadership presence needs to be replaced too. With the captain role up for grabs, many […]

The Cincinnati Bengals have gotten off to a horrid 0-2 start to their 2023 campaign, and even worse, their star quarterback Joe Burrow re-aggravated his calf injury late in their Week 2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. While Burrow promptly threw a touchdown and never retook the field, Burrow’s status for Week 3 has been […]

Two weeks of the fantasy football season are in the books, and it’s safe to say it’s been a wild opening two weeks. Some star players have struggled mightily, while others have had breakout outings early on to make themselves top-tier fantasy producers. The position that amplifies this more than any other is the running […]

Jarred Vanderbilt was one of a handful of players who were picked up by the Los Angeles Lakers at the trade deadline last season and ended up playing a huge role in their run to the Western Conference Finals. Vanderbilt signed a four-year, $48 million extension with the Lakers last week, so he isn’t going […]

The Carolina Panthers fought valiantly in their Week 2 contest against the New Orleans Saints, but ended up suffering their second loss of the season by a score of 20-17. There wasn’t much that went right for the Panthers in this one, and making matters even worse, they have received a terrible injury update on […]

There was a lot of chaos that took place during the Cleveland Browns 26-22 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers during their Week 2 Monday night action. While Nick Chubb’s gruesome injury took center stage, Deshaun Watson also made waves for picking up a pair of facemask penalties and shoving a referee throughout the game. Late […]

The Denver Nuggets are the reigning NBA champions after winning the 2023 NBA Finals over the Miami Heat, and they have enjoyed quite an eventful offseason to this point. Everyone seems to be having a great time in Denver, except for the Larry O’Brien trophy that the team ended up winning. Why is that? The […]

The 2023 season has been a tough one for Carlos Correa, even as the Minnesota Twins are on the verge of wrapping up the American League Central.

The Detroit Lions threw away a winnable game in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks, suffering a 37-31 loss just a week after they opened their season with a wildly encouraging victory over the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. Even worse, their lead running back David Montgomery suffered an injury late in this […]

Mac Jones and the New England Patriots suffered their second straight loss of the season in Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins, and it was a contest that felt far too similar for the Pats and their fans. New England fell behind early, managed to rally late in the game, but watched their comeback attempt […]

Lamar Odom always finds his way into the news cycle one way or another, and has done so once again, albeit this time in a much more serious manner. Reports have begun to surface that Odom was involved in a car crash last week, and the pictures show that his pricey Mercedes-Benz incurred some serious […]

Penn State rolled into their first Big Ten game of the year fresh off of two big victories to open the season, and they followed that up with a 30-13 win over Illinois in Week 3. This was a game that the Nittany Lions were expected to win, but still, doing so is always easier […]

The Green Bay Packers picked up a victory in Week 1 over the Chicago Bears, but they also picked up a handful of injuries along the way. Ahead of their Week 2 action against the Atlanta Falcons, the Packers are pretty beat up, and it looks like they will be without another key player for […]

The Baltimore Ravens cruised past the Houston Texans in their Week 1 action with a 25-9 victory, but they immediately have found themselves with a bigger challenge in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Thankfully, they will be getting one of their top players back in Mark Andrews for this big game. Andrews missed Week […]

After a pair of fairly tame offensive outings to start the season, Ohio State broke out in a big way on Saturday afternoon. The Buckeyes cruised to a blowout 63-10 victory over Western Kentucky in which their offense showed just how good they can be. After the game, starting quarterback Kyle McCord was defiant in […]

The New York Jets are looking at veteran quarterbacks to shore up their depth chart after Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles in Week 1, but it doesn’t look like Tom Brady is a part of that list. The Jets have not checked in to see if Brady would be willing to come out of retirement […]

The Houston Texans opened their 2023 campaign with a 25-9 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1, but they should have a decent shot to pull out a victory in Week 2 as they go up against the Indianapolis Colts. With the game quickly approaching, though, the team has gotten a bit of a […]

The Carolina Panthers struggled to move the ball in the air during their Week 1 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, and it’s clear that they need more weapons on offense to make life easier for rookie quarterback Bryce Young. Thankfully, it looks like the team has received a positive injury update on one of their […]

Jaromir Jagr has been out of the NHL since the 2017-18 season, but that doesn’t mean he has given up on hockey just yet. Jagr immediately returned to the Czech Republic after retiring from the NHL to play for his hometown team Rytin Kladno in the Czech Extraliga. Jagr has already spent five seasons playing […]

Jadon Sancho’s stint with Manchester United has always left a lot to be desired, but it appears as if things are coming to head between the player and the club.

The Chicago Bears are gearing up for their Week 2 action against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but for one of their former players, it looks like he is reflecting on better times.

After finding a way to somehow remain competitive for much of the 2023 campaign, the Boston Red Sox are crawling to the finish line with just over two weeks left in the season. It’s clear that Boston’s small playoff hopes have gone flying out the door, and as the result of another lost season, the […]

Team USA has been the subject of a lot of discussion for a lot of reasons as of late, whether it be their struggles at the 2023 FIBA World Cup, or the reports suggesting that LeBron James is planning on leading a star-studded group to the 2024 Olympics. With many folks looking ahead, Paul George […]

Ohio State football’s 2023 campaign has gotten off to a great start largely because of their defense. While their offense has done a good job scoring points, the defense has allowed just ten combined points over their first two contests. Making things even better on that side of the ball is the fact that safety […]

The Indianapolis Colts didn’t win their Week 1 season-opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but their offense showed signs of potential that could bode well for the team as the season progresses. However, as they gear up for their second game of the season against the Houston Texans, it looks like they may have to begin […]

The Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for a quick turnaround on Thursday Night Football in Week 2, as they are set to face off against the Minnesota Vikings.

The NFL has embraced their evolution into a worldwide brand over the past few years, with one of their top endeavors involving their continued voyages to England.
