The Patriots hadn’t been shy in their interest when it came to adding […]

Anthony Richardson is one of the most exciting prospects in the NFL currently after being selected with the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. And while he could end up becoming a dominating force at quarterback for the Colts, it’s safe to say that his path to the NFL isn’t typically what we […]

Jason Kelce is back for his 13th season with the Philadelphia Eagles, and it’s safe to say that he and his Eagles teammates will be looking for revenge after coming up just short in Super Bowl 57 against the Kansas City Chiefs. While the focus for the team and Kelce is obviously on the 2023 […]

It’s been a tough offseason for the Boston Bruins. After watching their historic campaign come crumbling down in front of them in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, they have lost several key pieces over the past few weeks.

The 2023 Boston Red Sox are a resilient bunch to say the least, and for the first time this year, they are almost fully healthy. With the returns of Chris Sale, Trevor Story, and Garrett Whitlock (and Tanner Houck being right behind them), the Sox have their most complete roster of the season at the […]

The Cleveland Browns have a lot of reasons for optimism this upcoming season, with one of them being Elijah Moore. The Browns picked up the disgruntled, yet talented, wide receiver in a trade with the New York Jets this past offseason, and he figures to have a big role in the team’s aerial attack alongside […]

Bukayo Saka has undergone a star turn over the past few years with Arsenal in the Premier League, and he played a crucial role for them in their 2023-24 season opener against Nottingham Forest. Saka scored the eventual game-winner in the 2-1 win to help the Gunners pick up three points to start their season, […]

For the most part, everything went according to plan for the Green Bay Packers in their preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals, and it’s clear that head coach Matt LaFleur was happy with what he saw from his team. The one area where Green Bay struggled, though, was their kicking game, with Anders Carlson missing […]

It’s been a frustrating season for the San Diego Padres, and it seemed those frustrations got the best of Juan Soto recently. With the Padres trying to hang on in the National League wild card race, but struggling to do so, Soto called out San Diego for their lack of effort as they try to […]

The Green Bay Packers opened their preseason slate with a 36-19 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, but the final result of the game isn’t what fans cared about; everyone wanted to see how new starting quarterback Jordan Love performed. Love had a solid outing under center for the Packers, and Matt LaFleur offered an update […]

The New England Patriots haven’t been shy in their desire to add to their running back room during the start of training camp this year. And while the Patriots recently managed to find someone who fit their bill at the running back position, fans will likely be disappointed to see that the guy they added […]

The Houston Astros are trying to catch the Texas Rangers for the division crown in the American League West. While they currently sit 2.5 games behind Texas currently, Houston may have just received the spark they were looking for at the first base position in Jon Singleton, who put together a massive night (3-4, 2 […]

After being selected with the third overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, Will Anderson Jr. is looking to make a big impact in his rookie season with the Houston Texans. However, it’s clear that Anderson’s Alabama football roots run deep, and he may have painted a bit of a target on his back for […]

The Boston Red Sox are fighting to hang around in the American League wild card race, and if they are going to have any sort of success, they are going to need their pitching staff to deliver down the stretch of the season. After a discouraging 9-3 blowout loss at the hands of the Kansas […]

The Denver Broncos did not have the 2022 season that they were hoping for, and on an individual level, that was also true for budding star running back Javonte Williams. After a breakout rookie campaign that saw him snatch away the starting running back job from Melvin Gordon, Williams tore his ACL in Week 4 […]

The Detroit Lions seemingly have their offense all set after their resurgent 2022 campaign, with Jared Goff being the ringleader as the team’s quarterback. Still, that doesn’t mean he’s guaranteed a job if he struggles, which is why Detroit’s recent signing of Teddy Bridgewater was a fairly eye-opening move. Bridgewater didn’t play much last season […]

The New England Patriots offense doesn’t appear to have a fantastic crop of wide receiver options for Mac Jones, but they do have a pair of solid tight ends in Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki. Henry and Gesicki could do quite a bit of damage for the Pats this upcoming season, and their budding partnership […]

The Denver Broncos are looking to bounce back from their awful 2022 campaign, but so far during training camp, they have suffered quite a few injuries that could make that goal tough for them.

As the San Francisco 49ers continue to push through training camp, all eyes are on their quarterback competition between Brock Purdy, Trey Lance, and Sam Darnold.

Dalvin Cook was released by the Minnesota Vikings nearly two months ago, and despite reports surfacing for weeks that teams such as the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, and New England Patriots were interested, he still remains a free agent. Cook will surely have a team before the start of the 2023 season, and his […]

The Los Angeles Lakers 2022-23 campaign was quite a roller-coaster ride. After an awful start to the season, the Lakers bounced back and managed to sneak into the Play-In Tournament, which saw them make the playoffs and go all the way to the Western Conference Finals before eventually falling to the Denver Nuggets. Despite coming […]

The Pittsburgh Penguins managed to land Erik Karlsson in a massive three-team trade with the San Jose Sharks and Montreal Canadiens, giving interim general manager Kyle Dubas his first defining move in his short stint with the team. This deal seems like a home run for the Penguins, but before he pulled the trigger, Dubas […]

The Philadelphia Eagles offense is already stacked as is. Their collective group of stars in Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, and DeVonta Smith helped them make it all the way to the Super Bowl last year, and it’s safe to say that they will be looking to make it back there again this season. While he […]

The New Orleans Saints offense already made a massive change this offseason when they signed Derek Carr to come in and be their new quarterback, but they may not be done adding to their offense just yet. With Alvin Kamara suspended for the first three games of the season and Eno Benjamin rupturing his achilles […]

For much of the 2023 MLB season, the Boston Red Sox have exceeded everyone’s expectations, and hung around in the American League wild card race.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have shown up for the 2023 season looking much different than they did when the 2022 season ended. However, things could have been even more different if Devin White didn’t end up dropping his trade request that he filed with the team early on in the offseason. With Tom Brady retiring […]

Devin McCourty may have just retired from the NFL after an illustrious 13-year career with the New England Patriots, but it doesn’t look like he will be straying too far from the team as the preseason rolls around. McCourty and his twin brother, Jason, have teamed up and will be partaking in their own “TwinCast” […]

The Chicago Cubs are in the midst of a hot streak that has seen them shoot into contention for the National League Central, and at just 2.5 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers, they have a real shot to find their way into the playoffs this season. While things are going great for the team, the […]

The Pittsburgh Penguins had been hoping to finalize a trade for Erik Karlsson as soon as Sunday afternoon, and it turns out they managed to make that wish come true. After reportedly increasing their aggression for Karlsson, the Penguins finally managed to land their guy, picking up the star defenseman in a blockbuster three-team deal […]

Many of the big moves of the NHL offseason have already been made, but perhaps the biggest move of them all in a potential Erik Karlsson trade has yet to be made. If it were up to the Pittsburgh Penguins, though, they would ideally be able to finalize a massive blockbuster deal for Karlsson as […]

DeMarcus Ware is officially a member of the NFL Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2023, and it’s safe to say that his induction was a long time coming. Ware enjoyed a legendary career with the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos, and will forever be remembered as one of the games greatest […]

There’s no doubt that James Harden will one day join Dwyane Wade in the NBA Hall of Fame, but it seems that many fans believe that Wade is well-ahead of Harden in their all-time NBA players rankings.

The St. Louis Cardinals have not been having a good season at all, which was reflected in their decision to operate as sellers at the trade deadline. One of the key pieces they moved was star reliever Jordan Hicks, who was sent to the Toronto Blue Jays after failing to reach an extension with St. […]

The Atlanta Braves have established themselves as the top team in the MLB in the 2023 season to this point, and they have shown no signs of slowing down. A lot has gone right for the Braves this year, and that doesn’t appear set to change anytime soon, as they have received a fantastic injury […]

There may not be much expected of Colorado this upcoming season, but it’s clear that the addition of Deion Sanders as the team’s new head coach has added some intrigue to the team. Sanders’ ties to the NFL given his legendary career in the league and electrifying personality have made him quite a fun guy […]

Undisputed is one of the most popular sports talk shows in the world currently, but big changes have been coming in for the show recently.

The New York Yankees haven’t been having the season they were hoping for, and that continued when the Yankees placed Anthony Rizzo on the injured list with concussion symptoms on Thursday. Interestingly enough, former Yankee Luke Voit opted out of his minor league contract with the New York Mets just hours before this move was […]

Jeff Okudah likely hasn’t had the start to his NFL career that he was hoping for. After getting selected with the third overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, Okudah played in just ten total games over his first two seasons thanks to a handful of injuries. Okudah finally stayed healthy last season for the […]

The Green Bay Packers are gearing up for what should be an interesting 2023 campaign, but no matter what happens, their season is going to be tied to Aaron Rodgers, who is now part of the New York Jets.
