The Pittsburgh Pirates have been one of the biggest surprises in the MLB early on in the 2023 season. They have posted an 18-8 record so far, which is the second best record in the majors behind only the Tampa Bay Rays. While there’s still a lot of time left in the season, it’s fair […]

We have reached Day 3 of the 2023 NFL Draft, and while most of the top players are off the board now, there is always good value that can be found in the later rounds of the draft. However, that didn’t stop Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers from picking the first kicker of […]

The Boston Bruins put together a historic regular season campaign during the 2022-23 regular season, but unfortunately, none of that matters anymore. After an ugly 7-5 loss in Game 6, the Bruins will be forced to return to Boston for Game 7 against the Florida Panthers with their season now on the line. After all […]

The Los Angeles Lakers dominated the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 6 to advance to the Western Conference semifinals, and it was clear from the opening tip off that the Lakers were playing on a completely different level than the Grizzlies. After the game, Austin Reaves provided a quick LeBron James moment that highlighted how that […]

The 2023 NFL Draft is just a few hours away, and fans are getting fired up to see what their respective teams will do in an effort to improve their teams in one of the biggest events of the offseason. After an encouraging 2022 campaign, the Miami Dolphins are looking to put together a strong […]

Doc Rivers and the Philadelphia 76ers are currently waiting to find out who the winner of the Boston Celtics-Atlanta Hawks first-round series is, as they will be the opponent the Sixers take on in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

In one of the more stunning playoff collapses in recent history, the Milwaukee Bucks were stunned by the Miami Heat in their first-round series on Wednesday night, getting eliminated from the playoffs in Game 5 after coming up short 128-126 in a wild overtime battle. After the game, Giannis Antetokounmpo shocked many fans by declaring […]

The Boston Bruins never had a stranglehold in Game 5 like they had during Games 3 & 4 of their first-round playoff series against the Florida Panthers, but for much of the night, it was clear they were the team playing better hockey. Yet when the final buzzer sounded, it was the Panthers that managed […]

The Los Angeles Clippers crashed out of the playoffs on Tuesday night, despite their best efforts against the Phoenix Suns. With Kawhi Leonard and Paul George out, though, it was always going to be tough for the Clippers to beat the high-powered Suns. Many fans have been critical of Leonard for having to miss the […]

Fernando Tatis Jr.‘s ascent to the face of the MLB took a detour during the 2022 campaign. After breaking his leg in a motorcycle accident over the offseason, Tatis appeared set to make his return to the majors in August, only to get suspended for 80 games after testing positive for PEDs. Tatis has finally […]

The 2023 NFL Draft is just a day away now, and many teams are gearing up for what figures to be an extremely important draft for them. One such team is the Las Vegas Raiders, who will be looking to bounce back after a massively disappointing 2022 campaign. Armed with the seventh overall pick in […]

For much of the offseason, Aaron Rodgers getting traded to the New York Jets has seemed inevitable. On Monday afternoon, it finally came to fruition, with the Jets and Green Bay Packers agreeing on a blockbuster deal for Rodgers. After what feels like years of speculation, Rodgers has finally opted to move on from the […]

For all intents and purposes, the Boston Celtics had punched their ticket to the Eastern Conference semifinals midway through the fourth quarter in Game 5 of their first-round series with the Atlanta Hawks. They had a 13-point lead over the Hawks with less than six minutes to play in the game, and Atlanta hadn’t really […]

The Carolina Panthers are on the clock with the first overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, and everyone is interested to see who they will end up selecting. While Bryce Young is widely expected to be their selection with the top pick, that wasn’t always the case, largely because the Panthers initially didn’t have […]

The Tennessee Titans didn’t have the 2022 campaign that they were hoping for, and that has raised a lot of questions for them this offseason. One of the biggest question marks on their roster right now is their starting quarterback in Ryan Tannehill, who has seen his name pop up in trade rumors throughout the […]

After all the hype, the 2023 NFL Draft is just days away, and it will be time to see which teams the top football prospects end up landing with. While many folks believe that Bryce Young will be headed to the Carolina Panthers as the top overall pick in the draft, nobody seems to know […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers may not have found their way into the NFL Playoffs last season, but they still had an extremely encouraging finish to the season, and seem to have found their quarterback of the future in Kenny Pickett. For that reason, getting Pickett more weapons to work with this offseason was a big goal […]

The Green Bay Packers offseason has been all about Aaron Rodgers and his desire to get traded to the New York Jets. While Rodgers is almost certainly going to get traded to the Jets at some point, he still is a member of the Packers, which has made for an increasingly murky situation. And for […]

The Milwaukee Bucks first-round playoff series against the Miami Heat certainly hasn’t gone as expected through three games. After watching Giannis Antetokounmpo suffer a back injury early in Game 1, the Bucks have struggled with the Heat ever since then, and they are currently down 2-1 in their series after losing Game 3 121-99. After […]

Two games into their first-round playoff series against the Florida Panthers, some alarms were ringing for the Boston Bruins. They didn’t look great in the first two games to open the series, and were going to be without Patrice Bergeron for at least two more games as they traveled to Florida. But as this series […]

Phil Jackson is arguably the greatest coach in the history of the NBA, which is why many fans were shocked to find out that he no longer watches NBA basketball. Perhaps more surprising, though, is the reason Jackson doesn’t watch the NBA, as he explained he believes the league became too political during the 2020 […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder had an encouraging 2022-23 season that saw them just barely miss out on the playoffs after losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves in their second Play-In Tournament game. There are lots of reasons to be excited about the future of the Thunder, with one of them being the second overall pick in […]

For the most part, the Boston Celtics have looked dominant against the Atlanta Hawks in their first-round playoff series, which is why their 130-122 loss in Game 3 was so surprising. The Hawks simply could not miss from the field, shooting 56 percent in this one, and Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum quickly went back […]

The Memphis Grizzlies first-round playoff series with the Los Angeles Lakers has created a lot of headlines through three games, and it’s not particularly hard to see why. Easily the biggest headline for this series, though, revolves around Dillon Brooks and his desire to continue to trash talk LeBron James as this series goes on. […]

The Memphis Grizzlies didn’t have a good outing in Game 3 against the Los Angeles Lakers, and things were made even worse when Dillon Brooks was ejected early in the second half after hitting LeBron James in the groin. Given how we just saw Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors pick up a suspension […]

With Bryce Young headed to the NFL, Nick Saban and Alabama are left looking for a new starting quarterback for the 2023 season. For now, it seems like Jalen Milroe and Ty Simpson will be battling for the top spot, but after a discouraging spring game for the Crimson Tide’s quarterbacks, Saban didn’t exactly offer […]

After a successful stint with the Jackson State Tigers, Deion Sanders has taken the next step forward in his football coaching career by becoming the Colorado Buffaloes newest head coach.

The Toronto Maple Leafs pulled out a massive comeback victory in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series with the Tampa Bay Lightning, but before they got there, both teams decided to partake in a massive brawl in the third quarter. While the fight may have inadvertently helped the Maple Leafs, Sheldon Keefe was not […]

The Tampa Bay Lightning and Toronto Maple Leafs are familiar foes in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, so unsurprisingly, a lot of these guys aren’t particularly friendly with one another. We saw a unique example of this in Game 3 of their series on Saturday night when Steven Stamkos and Auston Matthews ended up getting into […]

Heading into Game 3 of the Memphis Grizzlies first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers, all eyes were on Dillon Brooks and LeBron James. Brooks called out James after the Grizzlies Game 2 win, and everyone was expecting James to put together a big outing to show up Brooks. Instead, Brooks got ejected early […]

The Boston Celtics appeared to be in total control in their first-round playoff series against the Atlanta Hawks, but suffered a surprising 130-122 loss in Game 3.

The Memphis Grizzlies suffered another tough loss in Game 3 against the Los Angeles Lakers, and making matters even worse, they saw one of their top players in Dillon Brooks get ejected early in the third quarter for hitting LeBron James below the belt on a steal attempt. All eyes were already on Brooks after […]

The Brooklyn Nets have played the Philadelphia 76ers hard in each of their first three games of their first-round playoff series.

The Boston Celtics have cruised through their first two games of their first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks, and will be looking to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series in Game 3 on Friday night.

Elon Musk‘s new Twitter Blue update went into effect on Thursday, removing the verified blue check marks for pretty much everybody who had one without paying for it. Of course, Musk made sure there were some exceptions, with one of those exceptions being Los Angeles Lakers star forward LeBron James. One person who wasn’t happy […]

The Los Angeles Clippers first-round playoff series against the Phoenix Suns has been arguably the most tightly contested series of the postseason so far. That’s why Kawhi Leonard‘s ankle injury that held him out of Game 3 was such a shock to fans. Leonard had been playing fantastic basketball early on in the series, and […]

The 2023 NFL Draft is officially less than a week away, and time is ticking for the New England Patriots in what could be one of their most important drafts in recent history. After some strong showings in recent drafts, the Pats need to hit on a handful of picks if they intend on bouncing […]
