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. McMillan led the Hawks to a 29-30 record, which sees them sitting in just eighth place in the Eastern Conference, and it simply wasn’t good enough considering the upgrades […]

The Dallas Cowboys 2022 season once again saw their team fail to make much noise in the playoffs. While they managed to beat a worn-down Tampa Bay Buccaneers team in the Wild Card round, they were stifled by the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round, and were sent home wondering what they have to […]

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 […]

The Miami Heat didn’t necessarily have the start to the 2022-23 season that they were hoping for, but as we exit the All-Star break, it’s clear that they are on the verge of becoming one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. With a 32-27 record, the Heat sit in seventh place in the […]

There were many big moves made at the 2023 NBA trade deadline, but none were bigger than the one that sent Kevin Durant to the Phoenix Suns. The Brooklyn Nets superteam was falling apart, and the Suns capitalized by adding a star player to come in and stabilize what has been a rocky season in […]

The 2023 NHL trade deadline is fast approaching, and it sounds like some big names could be on the move this season. One of the premier trade targets across the league has been Chicago Blackhawks veteran center Jonathan Toews, and while the Blackhawks aren’t as good as they once were, Toews has remained one of […]

The Michigan State Spartans basketball team has been focusing on issues much larger than sports after the tragic shooting that took place on their campus last Monday. But on Saturday night, they returned to the court to take on the Michigan Wolverines, and while they ended up losing 84-72, head coach Tom Izzo was proud […]

After two straight lackluster Dunk Contests, the NBA needed the 2023 Dunk Contest to be a good one. Thanks in large part to a breakout performance from Mac McClung, who was crowned the winner of the contest, fans were gifted a Dunk Contest for the ages, which was sorely needed after complaints were mounting about […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers had a quieter offseason than they are typically accustomed to, but they still look likely to be one of the top teams in the league once again. A big reason for that is due to their starting rotation, which will be spearheaded by Julio Urias, who is coming off a Cy […]

The Green Bay Packers have some big decisions to make this offseason, particularly when it comes to determining what Aaron Rodgers’ future with the team will look like. Even with Rodgers’ status up in the air, the Packers have to do some salary cap work, and they took the first step in doing so by […]

Kevin Durant requested a trade off of the Brooklyn Nets over the offseason, and after initially rescinding the request, he ended up getting dealt to the Phoenix Suns prior to the 2023 trade deadline. In the process, Durant left a destroyed superteam to go join another one out in the Western Conference with Phoenix. Durant […]

Mac McClung shocked the NBA by going out and delivering a legendary performance in the 2023 NBA Dunk Contest. As it turns out, Shaquille O’Neal may have inadvertently helped McClung go out and deliver such a stunning outing by delivering an inspirational message to the young G-Leaguer right before the event began. McClung was part […]

Super Bowl 57 was a battle between the top two teams in the NFL in the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. While the Eagles didn’t come out on top, that didn’t stop star pass rusher Brandon Graham from showing his former coach in Andy Reid some love immediately after the game. Graham broke […]

The Carolina Panthers 2022 season was oddly encouraging, as they managed to somehow become a playoff contender in the desolate NFC South despite having a revolving door of quarterbacks and trading away one of their best players in Christian McCaffrey. Now that they have brought Frank Reich in to be their new head coach, it […]

Michael Thomas was once the most explosive wide receivers in the NFL, but he hasn’t been on the field enough over the past three seasons to make any sort of impact for the New Orleans Saints. Thomas has played in just ten games over the past three seasons, dealing with several long-term injuries that he […]

The NBA All-Star Weekend is in full swing, and so far, it’s been a rousing success for Adam Silver and the NBA. While it’s been great to see the Three-Point Contest and Dunk Contest be entertaining so far, not everything in the NBA is perfect, and Silver was asked to address some of the issues […]

The New York Yankees are gearing up for their 2023 campaign, but it looks like they won’t be fully healthy at any point in the season. That’s because it was announced on Thursday that starting pitcher Frankie Montas was set to undergo shoulder surgery that could end up keeping him out for the entire season. […]

While some fans may not be thrilled by it, Aaron Boone is back at the helm for the sixth straight season as the New York Yankees manager. After a strong offseason that was highlighted by the team re-signing star outfielder Aaron Judge to a massive contract, the Yankees have some big expectations surrounding them this […]

Mac Jones and the New England Patriots did not have a good 2022 season, but they still almost managed to make it into the playoffs anyways. This offseason, the team will be looking to set Jones up for success after giving him little help on the field, a poor coaching staff, and a quarterback controversy […]

Zac Taylor has had a very successful stint early on with the Cincinnati Bengals as their head coach. Taylor’s first two seasons weren’t exactly great, but he has led Cincy to back-to-back AFC Championship Games, and it’s safe to say that the Bengals future is looking very bright as they head into the 2023 season. […]

The 2023 NBA All-Star Game is right around the corner, with LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo set to draft their teams on Sunday and then play the game right after. However, it looks like James will not be present at the All-Star practice being held on Saturday, which was a rather surprising development. It’s now […]

Greg Hardy‘s NFL career never really got off the ground, thanks in large part to the fact that he wasn’t exactly a great guy off the field. Hardy missed all but one game in the 2014 season after being placed on the commissioner’s exempt list due to an ongoing domestic violence investigation, which eventually resulted […]
