The New England Patriots offseason plan is underway, but it’s tough to see what that plan is. The Pats have largely worked on re-signing their own players on defense, and while there’s been some turnover on offense, it’s tough to definitively say that they are a better team as a result of their additions. That […]

The Los Angeles Clippers came up just short against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night, losing by a final score of 101-100. If that wasn’t crushing enough, the team also lost Paul George during the game after he suffered what appeared to be a serious leg injury. There’s fear that George’s season could be […]

Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos did not have a great 2022 campaign. In fact, you can make an argument that they were the biggest disappointment across the entire league as a result of their poor play last season. With Sean Payton taking over as the head coach, the hope is that he can right […]

The Cincinnati Bengals made one of the more shocking moves of free agency when they managed to pluck Orlando Brown Jr. away from the Kansas City Chiefs to be Joe Burrow‘s new left tackle. The writing was on the wall for the Bengals former left tackle in Jonah Williams, and he unsurprisingly requested a trade […]

The Boston Red Sox will be kicking off their 2023 campaign next Thursday on March 30th, but it doesn’t seem like many folks care. In fairness, the Boston Celtics and Boston Bruins are on absolute fire, and the New England Patriots are in the middle of beefing up their roster this offseason. As for the […]

The New England Patriots haven’t had the explosive start to the offseason that fans were likely hoping for, and it’s safe to say there’s a bit of confusion surrounding the team right now. Have they really gotten better as a result of the moves they have made early on this offseason? Nobody really knows the […]

The 2023 NFL Draft is filled with a lot more questions than answers right now. With teams still looking to move up and down the board in the first round, and nobody standing out as the de facto top pick of the draft, nobody really seems to know what could end up happening in the […]

The Kansas City Chiefs knew that, after winning Super Bowl 57, they were going to have to make some tough decisions in free agency this offseason. One such tough move involved the team moving on from Frank Clark, who was released earlier this month in order to clear up cap space. Clark played a big […]

The Milwaukee Bucks have quickly asserted themselves as the team to beat in the NBA since the All-Star break, and are rolling towards the playoffs. With a 51-20 record, the Bucks are in control of the Eastern Conference currently, sporting a 2.5 game lead over the Boston Celtics, who sit in second place. Assuming they […]

The Boston Celtics have found themselves in the middle of their worst stretch of basketball recently, dampening expectations as they approach the playoffs. But the good news is that they have already clinched a playoff spot, and their strong play throughout the first half of the season gave them a buffer to be able to […]

The Carolina Panthers shocked the NFL world earlier this offseason when they pulled off a trade with the Chicago Bears that landed them the top overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. After a tumultuous 2022 campaign, the Panthers put themselves in a great spot to land their quarterback of the future in the draft, […]

The Boston Celtics are crawling toward the finish line of the regular season. After looking invincible for much of the first half of the season, the C’s have gone just 7-6 since the All-Star break, losing control of the top seed in the Eastern Conference and barely holding onto the second seed ahead of the […]

For months, Dan Snyder has been trending towards selling the Washington Commanders. The big question during this time has always been ‘When will he actually end up selling the team?’ though. Well, based on the Commanders recent contracts that they have handed out to their players, it looks like we may have a timeframe for […]

The Milwaukee Bucks have firmly cemented themselves as the team to beat since the All-Star break, and with stars in Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday, and Khris Middleton leading the way, they are going to be a tough team to beat down the stretch of the season. While many folks regard Antetokounmpo as the star of […]

Javale McGee isn’t having a huge season with the Dallas Mavericks, as he’s only had a fleeting role off of the bench for them for much of the year. Still, McGee is a three-time NBA champion, so when he goes out in public, he’s not going to blend in for very long. Many fans will […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been playing at less than full health for pretty much the entire 2022-23 campaign thanks to Karl-Anthony Towns calf injury, and just when it seemed like he was closing in on a return, Anthony Edwards went down with an ankle injury. For the Timberwolves, this was clearly their worst-case scenario. Initially, […]

Laremy Tunsil found himself involved in trade rumors with the Houston Texans early on this offseason, and realistically speaking, why wouldn’t he be? The Texans are rebuilding, and Tunsil could help a playoff contender out considering his status as one of the best left tackles in the game. Instead, he signed a massive three-year, $75 […]

The Boston Celtics couldn’t hold onto their lead against the Utah Jazz on Saturday night, losing by a score of 119-118, continuing their recent cold stretch. Jayson Tatum in particular struggled once again for the C’s, and after the game, Joe Mazzulla admitted that he had some regrets about how he handled Tatum throughout this […]

The Boston Celtics controlled the action for much of their latest contest against the Utah Jazz on Saturday night, but when the final buzzer sounded, they picked up yet another loss, this time in crushing fashion, by a score of 119-118.

Nate Oats and Alabama managed to skate by Maryland into the Sweet Sixteen on Saturday night, and after being held scoreless in the Crimson Tide’s first game of the tournament, Brandon Miller was once again leading the way for his team. Miller scored 19 points on the night, and while his efficiency wasn’t great (just […]

The Boston Celtics haven’t been playing great basketball since the All-Star break, but they have managed to string together two straight wins, with their victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night being about as commanding of a victory as we have seen from Boston in awhile. The C’s play the Utah Jazz on […]

The San Diego Padres very nearly made it all the way to the World Series last season with only Manny Machado and Juan Soto leading the way. Now, they have added Xander Bogaerts in free agency, and will be getting Fernando Tatis Jr. back once he serves the final 20 games of his 80-game suspension. […]

The New York Giants have had a wildly successful start to their offseason so far. They have signed Daniel Jones to an extension, franchise tagged Saquon Barkley, ensuring he will stick around for at least the 2023 season, and swung a trade for one of the top tight ends in the NFL in Darren Waller. […]

Everybody is waiting for the New York Jets and Green Bay Packers to finally hammer out a trade for Aaron Rodgers, but in the meantime, the Jets managed to add to their pass-catching corps by bringing in one of Rodgers former targets with the Packers in Allen Lazard. And while Lazard has made it clear […]

The Boston Red Sox have been putting together a fairly encouraging Spring Training so far. Granted, you can never make too much of what you see in Spring Training, but after a dreary offseason left many fans expecting the worst for the Red Sox, they have shown in Spring Training that maybe things aren’t as […]

The Los Angeles Lakers’ bumpy 2022-23 campaign saw them hit another roadblock on Friday night against the Dallas Mavericks.

The New England Patriots knew that they were going to have to put together a strong body of work this offseason after a disappointing 2022 campaign.

One of the top free agents this offseason came off the board on Wednesday when Orlando Brown Jr. opted to sign with the Cincinnati Bengals to play left tackle for them. One team that was expected to be interested in adding Brown was the Chicago Bears given their ample cap space and desire to upgrade […]

Paul Pierce is responsible for one of the more iconic moments in NBA Finals history when it comes to his wheelchair incident. In Game 1 of the 2008 NBA Finals, Pierce had to be taken off the floor in a wheelchair, seemingly knocking him out for the rest of the game. But Pierce ended up […]

The New England Patriots entered the 2023 offseason knowing that they needed some help at wide receiver, and they ended up making their first big splash in free agency by going out and signing JuJu Smith-Schuster to come in and help at this position of need. Smith-Schuster signed a three-year, $33 million deal with the […]

The New England Patriots have had a fairly confusing start to free agency. Despite being armed with ample cap space, they haven’t made many big moves in free agency, with most of their work involving retaining their own players and signing lower-level free agents. The biggest move they have made so far came on Wednesday […]

Aaron Rodgers has declared his intention to play for the New York Jets in 2023, and while he confirmed that the long-suspected rumor was indeed true, he also shot down another rumor suggesting that he had a wishlist for the Jets in free agency that they would have to fulfill if they were to trade […]

The New York Yankees figure to have one of the more dominant teams in MLB once again in 2023, with Aaron Judge leading the way in their lineup.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been fighting to assert themselves in the Western Conference all season long, hovering around the .500 mark for much of the campaign.

Team USA has quite a few stars on their roster at the World Baseball Classic, but arguably the biggest name of the bunch is Los Angeles Angels star outfielder Mike Trout. Trout’s impact on the game of baseball has been monumental, and not many players can say they have ever been as good as he […]

The Boston Celtics emerged from the All-Star break as the top team in the NBA, and a solid run out of the gate could have cemented their billing as the favorite to win a title this season. Instead, they are in the middle of their worst stretch of basketball of the season, as they have […]

The Kansas City Chiefs have already seen quite a bit of turnover at their tackle spots on the offensive line this offseason, and NFL Free Agency has only been open for a few hours.

The San Francisco 49ers had one of the best defenses in the entire NFL in 2022, and just a few hours into free agency, they have managed to make themselves even better. That’s because they managed to land former Philadelphia Eagles star defensive tackle Javon Hargrave on a four-year, $84 million contract. Hargrave will join […]

NFL Free Agency is off and running, and it looks like the Los Angeles Chargers could be trying to make some additions to their secondary in the early going. That has led them to target veteran safety John Johnson, who would be set to reunite with head coach Brandon Staley if he found his way […]
