Damian Lillard was pretty busy on Wednesday night for the Portland Trail Blazers, as he dropped 42 points to lead his team to a big 122-112 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. But after the game ended, it looked like he was making a potential recruiting pitch to Aaron Rodgers to join his favorite team in […]

For most of the Golden State Warriors contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night, they were in control. They took a 14-point lead early in the fourth quarter, but the Timberwolves stormed back to send the game to overtime, and ended up walking away with a 119-114 win when the final buzzer sounded. A […]

The New England Patriots had some high hopes for their 2022 campaign that they simply didn’t reach. After a successful rookie campaign for Mac Jones that saw him lead New England back to the playoffs and earn Pro Bowl honors, the Pats offense regressed drastically, and was only really kept alive by their dominant defense. […]

The Atlanta Braves haven’t had the greatest offseason, as they have spent most of their time sitting on the sidelines watching their National League East competitors in the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets make massive additions to their teams in free agency. To add onto that, they also watched their starting shortstop in Dansby Swanson […]

The Indiana Pacers got off to a surprisingly good start in the 2022-23 season, but have begun to fall apart recently. The common denominator; Tyrese Haliburton. Haliburton picked up elbow and knee injuries on January 11th in their loss against the New York Knicks, and has missed the Pacers past ten games, in which they […]

The Ohio State Buckeyes had a successful 2022 campaign, but will head into 2023 with some big questions. Chief among them is who will be replacing C.J. Stroud under center now that he has declared for the 2023 NFL Draft. Ohio State has a pair of quarterbacks in Kyle McCord and Devin Brown gunning for […]

For the most part, the New York Mets have managed to put together a strong offseason of work. They have made some very big moves in free agency, and seem to be well on their way to competing for a championship in 2023. However, not all is well for the Mets, as they have recently been […]

The Chicago White Sox didn’t have a great 2022 season, and heading into the offseason, it was clear they didn’t necessarily have the assets to make several big moves to fix their roster. They have made some big moves, but they also have lost some key players, with the biggest loss being longtime first baseman […]

Tom Brady’s sudden retirement announcement has shocked the NFL. After briefly retiring last offseason, before opting to return for the 2022 season, many folks figured Brady wouldn’t want the final season of his career to be such a disappointing one. But in the blink of an eye, his legendary career is over, and the Tampa […]

The NFL world has received some shocking news from Tom Brady on Wednesday morning, as the star Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback has announced that he will be retiring from the NFL once again this offseason. Unlike last year, though, it seems like Brady is retiring for good, putting an end to the most storied football […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers star quarterback retired last offseason before coming out of retirement for one last season, but after a tough year with the Bucs that ended with them crashing out of the playoffs against the Dallas Cowboys, Brady has […]

The Cincinnati Bengals are still reeling from their disappointing conclusion to the 2022 season that saw them come up just short in the AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs. With a 23-20 loss, the Bengals quest to make it back to the Super Bowl for the second straight season is over, and they […]

The Kansas City Chiefs managed to squeak past the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship Game with a 23-20 victory, but they paid a steep price in the process. Several of their players were forced out of the game early with injuries, with maybe the most important player in that group being cornerback L’Jarius Sneed. […]

The NBA trade deadline is less than two weeks away, and it seems like we could be entering an extremely chaotic deadline across the league. There aren’t many teams that are really out of playoff contention right now, which may encourage teams to be aggressive in pulling off deals. There are many players who are […]

The Cincinnati Bengals came up just short in their quest to return to the Super Bowl for the second straight season, losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game by a score of 23-20. It was a crushing way for the Bengals season to end, especially considering how good they looked heading […]

The Phoenix Suns haven’t had the season they were hoping for, and as the trade deadline draws near, it’s clear that they will be very busy. Of course, the Suns will also be hoping to finally unload Jae Crowder, who refuses to play for them after not getting a contract extension over the offseason. Crowder […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are back in the Super Bowl after barely missing out last season, and they have a difficult matchup in store with the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 57. It should be a great game between the top two seeds in their respective conferences, and we will now get to see which […]

The Indiana Pacers are entering the trade deadline in quite an interesting spot, as they had been a very solid team early on in the season, but have fallen apart while Tyrese Haliburton has found himself on the sidelines injured. Things have become even more confusing for them now that they have signed one of […]

The Detroit Pistons have quickly established themselves as one of the worst teams in the NBA this season, and their prime objective now seems to be getting as high of a draft pick as they can in the 2023 NBA Draft. They could further aid their rebuild by selling off some pieces at the trade […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves haven’t emerged as the top tier team in the Western Conference that they were hoping to become this season, and that could lead to an eventful trade deadline for them. With the deadline drawing closer with each passing day, it sounds like Minnesota is looking to revamp their backcourt by pulling off […]

For much of the season, everyone has been expecting that the rebuilding San Antonio Spurs would cash in on sought after big man Jakob Poeltl before the NBA trade deadline. And with the deadline right around the corner, it seems like Poeltl’s market is heating up significantly as team’s increase their pursuit of the solid […]

The 2022-23 season has not gone the Charlotte Hornets way, and it looks like they are going to be forced to start things from scratch amid their woeful campaign. Several of their players have been involved in trade rumors for awhile now, and it looks like one of LaMelo Ball’s key teammates in Jalen McDaniels […]

The Atlanta Hawks haven’t had the 2022-23 season they were hoping for, and as a result, there have been trade rumors swirling around this team for months now. The one guy who always seems to find his name involved in these rumors is John Collins, and with the trade deadline creeping up, Collins’ status bears watching […]

The Cincinnati Bengals didn’t have the greatest luck in their AFC Championship Game loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, and it’s fair to wonder whether or not the result would have been different had a few calls gone their way. That’s precisely what Ja’Marr Chase was complaining about shortly after their crushing loss. The most […]

For the most part, many of the big moves that were to be made this offseason in the MLB have already been made. Save for some potential trades and the top remaining free agents finding new homes, it looks like most teams are beginning to gear up for the 2023 campaign. And as the last […]

Most of the big moves of the MLB offseason have already been made, especially when it comes to free agency, but there’s still some activity that could happen on the trade market. There are still a couple of big names who could get moved, but none are bigger than Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds, who […]

The Los Angeles Angels are in a bit of a down period in their recent history. They have only made the playoffs once since 2010, and even then, they were quickly swept out of the ALDS, meaning they haven’t won a playoff game since all the way in 2009. This comes despite the fact that […]

The Atlanta Hawks haven’t had a great start to the 2022-23 season, as they have dealt with some turbulence in their locker room, and are currently sitting in eighth place in the Eastern Conference with a 25-24 record. After pulling off a blockbuster deal for Dejounte Murray over the offseason, this certainly isn’t what many […]

It’s safe to say the New England Patriots were a pretty disappointing squad in the 2022 season. Their offense was one of the worst units in the league, taking a huge step back after an encouraging 2021 campaign. But it’s clear the Pats aren’t going to settle for another disappointing season in 2023, and have […]

The Detroit Pistons are one of the few teams in the NBA that are already unofficially eliminated from contention for a playoff spot on the 2022-23 season, and it’s been that way for awhile. Their 13-37 record is the worst in the Eastern Conference, and at this point, their season is solely about trying to […]

The Miami Heat didn’t have the start to the season that they were hoping for, but they are finally beginning to turn things around as we enter the second half of the season. With a 27-22 record, the Heat are sitting in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, and they are beginning to creep up […]

The Chicago Cubs have been hard at work when it comes to spending in free agency this offseason, and they could end up making some noise in the National League Central after a couple of down years. Dansby Swanson was obviously their biggest signing, but the Cubs have made several solid moves this offseason to […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars 2022 campaign was wildly encouraging to say the least. Despite getting off to a 3-7 start on the season, and seemingly having no shot at making the playoffs, the Jaguars managed to win six of their final seven games to win the AFC South and clinch the four seed in the AFC […]

The Washington Wizards pulled off one of the first big trades in the NBA trade season when they sent Rui Hachimura to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Kendrick Nunn and three second-round draft picks.

The New York Yankees have had an explosive offseason of work to say the least, as they have managed to re-sign star outfielder Aaron Judge while also landing one of the top starting pitchers on the market in Carlos Rodon. But that’s not to say all the holes on their team are filled, and it […]

It was never pretty, but the Pittsburgh Steelers somehow managed to overcome some truly brutal stretches of football in 2022 to finish with a record above .500 at 9-8. A big reason for that was due to rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett getting more comfortable as the season went on, and leading the Steelers to wins […]

The Atlanta Falcons had a strange 2022 season that saw them actually emerge as a contender in the NFC South for a point in time. While that was largely due to the NFC South being the weakest division in the NFL, that shows that the Falcons aren’t necessarily as far behind the pack in their […]
