Ja Morant has been in the news for all the wrong reasons as of late, and he is currently in the middle of a suspension from all basketball activities for the Memphis Grizzlies after flashing a gun on social media for the second time in a span of months. Many folks took the opportunity to […]

DeAndre Hopkins quickly became the top free agent available across the NFL when he was shockingly released by the Arizona Cardinals last week, and ever since then, teams have been circling him, hoping to land one of the top wide receivers in the NFL. While nothing is official yet, it’s beginning to sound like the […]

The Baltimore Orioles have had one of the most successful starts to the 2023 MLB season in the entire league. Their 34-19 record sees them sitting in second place in the American League East, which is a bit unfortunate because the only team with a better record than them is the Tampa Bay Rays. If […]

The Boston Celtics managed to throw away their season before being resuscitated at the last second (or 0.1 seconds) by Derrick White in their stunning 104-103 Game 6 victory over the Miami Heat in their Eastern Conference Finals series to force a winner takes all Game 7 between these two teams. In the process, the […]

It wasn’t necessarily pretty, but Bayern Munich managed to win their 11th straight Bundesliga championship on Saturday morning after picking up a tight 2-1 victory over 1. FC Koln. Munich needed a lot to go right for them on Saturday, but with Borussia Dortmund tying against 1. FSV Mainz 05, Bayern ended up beating Dortmund […]

The San Francisco 49ers have quite the quarterback conundrum on their hands heading into the 2023 season. They drafted Trey Lance as the third overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, but he has played sparingly over his first two seasons, and was upstaged by 2022 seventh-round pick Brock Purdy, who led San Fran all […]

The Los Angeles Chargers have put together a strong body of work during the 2023 NFL offseason. After a historic collapse in the AFC Wild Card round of the playoffs last year, it’s clear that the Chargers will be looking to take a step forward and finally reach the tantalizing potential they have shown so […]

The Boston Celtics are still hanging around in their Eastern Conference Finals series against the Miami Heat. After falling behind 3-0 in the series, the Celtics have responded with two wildly encouraging victories in Games 4 & 5 to send the series back to Miami for Game 6. And it is very clear that there […]

The Las Vegas Raiders have undergone quite a bit of change on offense over the offseason, but heading into OTAs, many of their key pieces are missing. Jimmy Garoppolo’s foot injury has already been revealed, but it looks like star running back Josh Jacobs and slot wide receiver Hunter Renfrow have both opted not to […]

The Los Angeles Lakers had a nice postseason run in the 2023 NBA Playoffs, but after getting swept by the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals, it’s back to the drawing board for LA. The Lakers made several big moves at the trade deadline this past season, and they may have to do so […]

The Los Angeles Lakers certainly exceeded expectations during their 2023 NBA Playoffs run, but everything came to a screeching halt in the Western Conference Finals when they were swept by the Denver Nuggets. Now, the Lakers have some big questions to answer this offseason, with one of them being the future of Rui Hachimura. Hachimura […]

The Miami Heat were unable to sweep the Boston Celtics in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference Finals series, but they have given themselves enough of a cushion in this series where it shouldn’t be much of an issue. The series will now shift back to Boston for Game 5, so with another chance to […]

We are nearly a month removed from the Boston Bruins crushing Game 7 defeat at the hands of the Florida Panthers in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and it’s safe to say that the loss still stings pretty badly. After their historic regular season campaign, the Bruins coughed up a 3-1 lead […]

The Dallas Stars Game 3 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights in their Western Conference Finals series on Tuesday night was ugly, and that’s putting it lightly. When you consider the 4-0 margin of defeat or the fact that fans decided to start firing objects onto the ice as the second period came to a […]

Ja Morant had a very rocky 2022-23 season for the Memphis Grizzlies off the court, and early on in the offseason, things have continued to go poorly for the embattled guard. Morant was caught flashing a gun on social media again, leading to another suspension for him, further casting doubt on his future in the […]

The Philadelphia Phillies unexpected World Series run in 2022 led many fans to believe that they would be in contention to win it all again this season. Yet so far on the 2023 season, the Phillies have struggled, posting a 22-26 record, which is only good for fourth place in the crowded National League East. […]

Austin Ekeler sent shockwaves around the NFL earlier this offseason when he made a public trade request off of the Los Angeles Chargers. Ekeler wanted a new contract, and the Chargers were showing no interest in handing him an extension. The conflict came to a resolution on Tuesday, though, as the Chargers added some more […]

Well, the Boston Celtics are still alive. If you watched their anemic 26-point loss in Game 3 against the Miami Heat, you would have figured Game 4 would have been a wash as well, but instead, they put together the outing they were likely looking for in Game 3, and sent the series back to […]

The Boston Celtics have gotten pummeled by the Miami Heat through the first three games of their Eastern Conference Finals series, setting the stage for a do-or-die Game 4 outing on Tuesday night. One of the defining moments of this series came in Game 3 when Jimmy Butler mocked Al Horford‘s timeout celebration from Game […]

The San Francisco 49ers may have found their long-term answer at quarterback in an unexpected way in Brock Purdy last season, but they are going to have to get by without him to start the 2023 season. Purdy tore his UCL in the 49ers NFC Championship Game loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, meaning that Trey […]

After an encouraging end to his rookie campaign in 2022, Kenny Pickett is going to be looking to take a big step forward in 2023 for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pickett won’t have to win any sort of quarterback battle this time around, and the hope is that Pittsburgh can sneak into a wild card spot […]

The NFL is currently in the process of adding or denying new rule changes for the 2023 season, and one of the more divisive topics involved whether or not fair catches and touchbacks on kickoffs would all be placed at the 25-yard line. Despite some pushback, the rule change has been approved by the league, […]

The Boston Celtics find themselves in quite a deep hole heading into Game 4 of their Eastern Conference Finals series against the Miami Heat. Down 3-0 in the series, the Celtics have gotten blown out of the water so far by the Miami Heat, and appear to be set to head on vacation sooner rather […]

The Los Angeles Lakers fairytale playoff run came to an end on Monday night, as they were officially swept out of the postseason by the Denver Nuggets after losing Game 4 by a score of 113-111. LeBron James had his best game of the playoffs (40 PTS, 10 REB, 9 AST, 15/25 FGM) but even […]

The Denver Nuggets haven’t generated a ton of fanfare throughout the 2023 NBA Playoffs, but they surely won’t care much given that they have managed to make it all the way to the NBA Finals. Part of that lack of fanfare trickled to Nikola Jokic during his MVP race with Joel Embiid, which is a […]

While Arsenal‘s fairytale Premier League run ended up falling just a bit short, it’s safe to say their 2022-23 season was a remarkable success. The Gunners have a collection of talented young players who will help this team continue to grow, but at the forefront of that group is Bukayo Saka, and it doesn’t look […]

The Boston Celtics aren’t totally out just yet, but heading into Game 4 against the Miami Heat, it feels like they are almost certainly set to be sent on vacation by the Heat on Tuesday night. While the stakes are considerably lower for the C’s given the corner they have backed themselves into, this is […]

DeAndre Hopkins has found himself involved in a handful of trade rumors throughout the 2023 NFL offseason, and while it doesn’t sound like Hopkins is as likely to get traded as he once was, he still hasn’t given up hope he could get moved. With that in mind, Hopkins opted to reveal the five quarterbacks […]

Throughout his career in the NBA, Tony Allen made a name for himself as one of the most tenacious defenders in the league. During his time with the Boston Celtics, Memphis Grizzlies, and New Orleans Pelicans, Allen was an All-NBA defender six times, which helped him stay on the court, even with his limited offensive […]

The Boston Celtics were on the ropes heading into Game 3 of their Eastern Conference Finals series against the Miami Heat, so the 128-102 loss they suffered on Sunday night has pretty much left the team for dead. Even though the Celtics are pretty much considered toast, they still are alive heading into Game 4. […]

The Boston Celtics completely fell apart in their Game 3 loss to the Miami Heat, with their 128-102 defeat putting them on the verge of getting swept out of the playoffs. And once again, at the center of Boston’s struggles was Jaylen Brown, who is currently laboring through a horrible series for Boston. Brown scored […]

The Miami Heat continued their destruction of the Boston Celtics in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference Finals series, blowing them out of the water with a 128-102 victory. Charles Barkley has picked the C’s to win each of the first three games of this series and has been wrong each time, and he wasn’t […]

Welcome to perhaps the most bold edition of the Beantown Rundown yet. After the Boston Celtics were blown off the floor in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference Finals series, losing by a score of 128-102 and effectively ending their series in the process, all options are on the table. Everybody is under fire for […]

The New England Patriots are hoping to find their way back into the playoffs after missing out on them entirely last season, but given how strong the AFC East looks, it will likely be much easier said than done. If the Patriots end up having a successful 2023 campaign, that likely means that Rhamondre Stevenson […]

The NFL has seen a lot of great players come and go over the years, which makes ranking the top players to have ever played in the league a very difficult challenge. Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay recently took on the challenge of doing just that, but quickly realized that he made made a pretty […]

The 2023 season will see the Green Bay Packers fielding a very different offense than we are used to seeing. Aaron Rodgers is no longer on the team after getting traded to the New York Jets, meaning that Jordan Love will be taking over under center. While that is a massive change, the good news […]

The Las Vegas Raiders offense will look very different in the upcoming 2023 season, with the biggest change of them all coming at the quarterback position. After moving on from longtime starter Derek Carr, Jimmy Garoppolo was signed early on in free agency to come in and take the reins of the Raiders offense moving […]

The Boston Celtics find themselves in an unexpected 2-0 series hole against the Miami Heat, setting the stage for Game 3, which will likely make or break Boston’s season. Win this game, and they still have a fighting shot of figuring things out. Lose, and the season is all but over. So with that in […]

The Boston Celtics have quickly found themselves with their backs against the wall in their Eastern Conference Finals series against the Miami Heat. After throwing away Game 1 on their homecourt, the C’s did the exact same thing in Game 2, and will now head to Miami down 2-0 in the series against the Heat. […]
