After a rough finish to the 2021-22 season, the 2022-23 campaign has been filled with more struggles for the Chicago Bulls. They currently find themselves in 11th place in the Eastern Conference with a 28-34 record, and they haven’t shown any signs of being able to turn things around. They also recently admitted defeat on […]

The Chicago White Sox did not have the 2022 season that they were hoping for. After winning the American League Central in 2021, the Sox never lived up to expectations last season, and endured a disappointing campaign that saw them finish with an 81-81 record and miss the playoffs entirely. It’s clear that the team […]

The Kevin Durant blockbuster trade caught the NBA world by surprise, and with Durant closing in on making his debut with the Phoenix Suns, excitement for what the Suns’ ceiling could be is constantly growing. Durant is going to be faced with tons of expectations when he returns to the court, but there may not […]

The Los Angeles Rams 2022 campaign did not go according to plan after winning Super Bowl 56, and big changes could be made this offseason. One such move could involve star cornerback Jalen Ramsey getting traded. Ramsey’s name has continued to pop up in trade rumors early on this offseason, and it’s seeming more and […]

The Tampa Bay Rays have continued to prove that they can put together winning squads despite having one of the lowest payrolls in the entire league. They did so again in 2022, where they made it to the playoffs in a crowded American League East, although they didn’t last long before getting sent home by […]

The Chicago Bears are on the clock in the 2023 NFL Draft, even if the draft is still two months away. After finishing with a 3-14 record in 2022, the Bears landed the top overall pick in the upcoming draft, and will have a big decision to make when it comes to who they will […]

The Milwaukee Bucks are one of the powerhouse teams in the NBA currently, and everyone wants to find a way to get involved in their recent stretch of winning. That includes Cleveland Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslem, who recently purchased a stake in the team previously held by Marc Lasry. Lasry became co-owner of […]

The Denver Nuggets are continuing to build upon their lead atop the Western Conference, and their 134-124 overtime win against the Los Angeles Clippers could help them run away with the number one seed in the West. Unsurprisingly, the Nuggets once again received a huge performance from star center Nikola Jokic, who looks to be […]

The Portland Trail Blazers are battling to stay in the hunt for a spot in the Play-In Tournament down the stretch of the season, which makes their 131-114 victory over the Houston Rockets all the more important. While the win itself was big, everyone was talking about Damian Lillard, who poured in an absurd 71 […]

The Oakland Athletics were once known as one of the scrappiest underdog teams in the MLB. But heading into the 2023 season, it’s clear that the Athletics are in the middle of an ugly rebuild. After finishing the 2022 season with the second-worst record in the league, things don’t look likely to be getting any […]

The Kansas City Royals have been in the middle of a long and tedious rebuild ever since winning the World Series back in 2015. They haven’t had a record over .500 since then, and they have been having an annual battle with the Detroit Tigers for last place in the American League Central. They finished […]

The Detroit Tigers have been in a lengthy rebuild for quite some time now, and it resulted in another ugly campaign in 2022. The 2022 campaign was AJ Hinch‘s second while in charge of the team, and it wasn’t great to see his team take a step back after an encouraging debut season back in […]

Russell Westbrook‘s long-awaited debut for the Los Angeles Clippers finally took place on Friday night, and the game certainly didn’t disappoint. While Los Angeles will be upset that they ended up falling short in a thrilling 176-175 loss to the Sacramento Kings, they will likely be pleased with Westbrook’s debut for them. Westbrook posted a […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are on top of the world after winning Super Bowl 57, and once again, Patrick Mahomes played a big role in leading the Chiefs to the top of the mountain. In the MLB, the Kansas City Royals haven’t experienced that type of success since winning the World Series back in 2015, […]

The Buffalo Bills will be looking to make some upgrades this offseason after coming up short of expectations once again in the playoffs, but first, they may need to focus on figuring out a way to keep some of their current core in place. One of their key free agents this offseason is safety Jordan […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars surprised many folks by not just making it to the playoffs in 2022, but pulling off a stunning comeback victory against the Los Angeles Chargers and advancing to the Divisional Round.

In their first game after the All-Star break, and also their first game after the firing of head coach Nate McMillan, the Atlanta Hawks cruised to an easy 136-119 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Star point guard Trae Young led the way with 34 points and nine assists, and even found himself in the middle […]

The Miami Heat desperately needed some help in their frontcourt heading into the trade deadline, and while they ultimately didn’t end up addressing that need with a trade, they did manage to land Kevin Love on the buyout market. Love obviously isn’t the player he once was, but he will immediately have a spot in […]

There has been a lot of turnover on the Carolina Panthers coaching staff early on this offseason, and it’s clear that there is going to be some turnover on their roster as well. One spot that seems destined to have some new faces on the roster in 2023 is the quarterback position, and new offensive […]

The Washington Commanders have managed to pry Eric Bieniemy away from the Kansas City Chiefs to be their new offensive coordinator and assistant head coach. Bieniemy has long been mentioned as a potential head coaching candidate, but after failing to land a head-coaching job again this offseason, he decided it was time to move on […]

The Denver Broncos have had some big coaching decisions to make this offseason after a failed 2022 campaign. They already made the biggest of the bunch when they hired Sean Payton to be their next head coach, and now Payton has decided who the Broncos new defensive coordinator will be after interviewing Vance Joseph, Rex […]

This time last year, the Los Angeles Rams were on top of the world after winning Super Bowl 56. But just a little over a year later, the Rams are left picking up the pieces from a moribound 2022 campaign. They struggled with injuries and poor play across the board, but it’s clear that it […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers believe they have found their quarterback of the future in Kenny Pickett. But behind him on the depth chart, there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph. Trubisky is under contract still, but he could get released or traded this offseason, and Rudolph is a free agent who […]

Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens are in the middle of a tension-filled contract dispute, and it doesn’t seem like we are close to any sort of resolution. Jackson wants a massive long-term extension from the Ravens, but there has been some skepticism from folks around the team as to whether or not the two […]

The Indiana Pacers weren’t expected to accomplish much this season, and after a hot start, they have come crashing back down to earth lately. Their 26-34 record sees them sitting in 12th place in the Eastern Conference currently, and they crawled into the All-Star break on an extreme cold streak. Things could certainly be going […]

The Washington Capitals find themselves in the middle of a five-game losing streak right now, and it’s not exactly surprising to see that their losing streak has coincided with the absence of Alex Ovechkin. Ovechkin took an absence from the Capitals last Tuesday after the tragic passing of his father, and has not been with […]

The Dallas Cowboys are heading back to the drawing board this offseason, as they continue to fail to find a way to take the next step forward and become a de facto championship contender. The Cowboys once again crashed out of the playoffs earlier than they would have liked, and are searching for answers amid […]

The Atlanta Hawks made a shocking decision on Tuesday afternoon to fire head coach Nate McMillan right before they return to action from the All-Star break.

The Dallas Cowboys 2022 season once again saw their team fail to make much noise in the playoffs.

Jonathan Gannon is getting off to a fast start as the Arizona Cardinals new head coach. Unfortunately for Florida Gators head coach Billy Napier, that has resulted in a key member of his coaching staff getting poached, and it now looks like he has some work to do this offseason at a spot he might […]

Ja Morant has been leading the Memphis Grizzlies to new heights this season, and unsurprisingly earned the second All-Star selection of his career. And while that’s impressive in its own right, Morant didn’t stop there when it came to adding to his list of individual achievements, as he also saw a pair of his signature […]

The 2023 NBA All-Star break is officially in the rearview mirror, with teams across the league gearing up to return to action starting on Thursday night. But even with that being said, it’s clear that Aaron Gordon of the Denver Nuggets still harbors some sore feelings as a result of not getting to be a […]

The Philadelphia Eagles made a magical run to Super Bowl 57, but ultimately came up just short against the Kansas City Chiefs. Now that the 2022 season is over, the Eagles could be facing quite a bit of turnover this offseason. In fact, they have already lost both their offensive and defensive coordinator in Shane […]

The Arizona Cardinals are looking to make some big changes this offseason after a disappointing 2022 campaign, and they have already made one big move by firing head coach Kliff Kingsbury and replacing him with Jonathan Gannon. Now, Gannon will be tasked with getting the Cardinals back on track, but that all starts with getting […]

Dave Roberts and the Los Angeles Dodgers have been the team that has probably been most affected by the sign-stealing era of the MLB. And while teams are moving on from the issue, it’s still something that lingers in the back of their minds as a “what-if” scenario had sign-stealing not been so prevalant during […]

The Atlanta Braves ultimately weren’t able to repeat as World Series champions in 2022 after winning it all in 2021, and while there were several reasons why that didn’t happen, one reason was because of a stark downturn in production from Marcell Ozuna. Ozuna had a rough season both on and off the field for […]

The 2022 season did not end the way the Los Angeles Chargers were hoping it would. While Brandon Staley is sticking around despite calls for his head after a crushing Wild Card round loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, it’s clear that changes need to be made, and right off the bat, the Chargers have been […]

With just over 20 games left in the 2022-23 regular season, some fans from teams that aren’t in contention for a playoff spot have already turned their attention to the 2023 NBA Draft, which is headlined by star prospect Victor Wembanyama. There hasn’t been a prospect as hyped as Wembanyama in quite some time, but […]

The New York Giants 2022 season was wildly encouraging, with the development of Daniel Jones being a big reason for their unexpected run to the Divisional Round of the playoffs. There still is a large gap between them and the top teams, as we saw when they were promptly blown out of the playoffs by […]
