The Houston Texans were widely expected to be busy at the trade deadline this season amid yet another lost season, with Brandin Cooks being their most sought after player. But the Texans opted against dealing Cooks, and the star wide receiver was not happy about the team’s decision, and he let them know in private […]

The MLB offseason is upon us, and while the free agent market will command most of the attention on the hot stove, the trade market also figures to see a lot of action. We have already seen a couple of trades get made this offseason, and it looks like another big trade may get made […]

The start to the 2022-23 NBA season has been wild to say the least. Rebuilding teams are dominating, while title contenders are struggling, and it’s led to absolute chaos pretty much every day there are games. Two such supposed title contenders that have struggled mightily to open the season are the Golden State Warriors and […]

The Miami Heat very nearly pulled off an incredible rally against the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals to make it back to the NBA Finals. Instead, they came up just short, and have been working on finding their way back to the Finals this season. Unfortunately, the early results haven’t […]

The Philadelphia 76ers were hoping to reemerge as title contenders in the Eastern Conference after a strong 2022 NBA offseason. Instead, they have limped out to a 5-7 start, and appear to be well behind some of the top teams in the East currently. Whether the Sixers can turn things around and change that remains […]

The Cleveland Browns rolled into their bye week in Week 9 riding high after taking down their division rival in the Cincinnati Bengals. The bye week offered a chance for Cleveland to get healthier for the second half of the season, with two players standing to benefit from the week off being David Njoku and […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense hasn’t been good at all to start the 2022 season, and a big reason for that is because of their lack of a rushing attack. The Buccaneers have picked up just 546 total rushing yards through nine games, and a big reason for those struggles has been due to their […]

The Boston Celtics have been on fire to start the 2022-23 season, as they have cruised out to a 9-3 record in the early going. A big reason for that success is because of their star duo in Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, and if you ask their former teammate Kemba Walker, Tatum and Brown […]

Evander Kane suffered a scary injury in the Houston Oilers Tuesday night victory over the Tampa Bay Lighting. Kane’s left wrist ended up getting cut by the blade of Lightning forward Pat Maroon’s skate, and Kane quickly rushed off the ice as blood began to spill out of the cut on his wrist. Thankfully, Kane’s […]

The New York Knicks have had a decent start to the 2022-23 season, as their win over the Detroit Pistons on Friday night pushed their record back to .500 at 6-6 through 12 games. And even though the season is young, teams have already begun to identify Immanuel Quickley as a potential trade target as […]

The Golden State Warriors continued to build on their dynasty last season when they won the 2022 NBA Finals. So far to start the 2022-23 season, though, the Warriors haven’t looked anything like the team that just won a championship only a few months ago. They currently sport a 5-7 record, and without Stephen Curry’s […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are in the middle of one of the ugliest starts in the history of the NBA. The Lakers entered the season with a renewed hope that they could reemerge as title contenders after a busy offseason. Those hopes have all but been dashed through just 12 games, as the Lakers 2-10 […]

The MLB offseason is officially upon us, and it hasn’t taken long for the rumor mill to be set ablaze in the early going here. The free agent class this offseason is absolutely electric, and it looks like plenty of big name players will be finding new homes this offseason. Of course, it goes without […]

The Los Angeles Rams defense of their Super Bowl championship from the 2021 season has gone poorly to say the least. The Rams are just 3-5 on the season, and have looked nothing like the team that was crowned as the best team in the league less than a year ago. There is still time […]

The Minnesota Vikings have been on fire lately, as they are riding high on a six-game win streak heading into their Week 10 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Beating the Bills is going to be easier said than done, of course, and the Vikings are preparing for the challenge that comes with defending their star […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have looked horrible to start the 2022 season, and it’s no surprise to see that they have crawled out to a 2-6 record. The Steelers have struggled to figure out how to consistently move the ball on offense, and while their defense has been solid in the early going, they haven’t been […]

The Texas Rangers have been wheeling and dealing to kick off the 2022 offseason. They pulled off a deal with the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night for Jake Odorizzi in an effort to boost their starting rotation, and they have continued their trading ways on Thursday morning by sending Nick Solak to the Cincinnati Reds. […]

The San Francisco 49ers have had a somewhat confusing start to the 2022 season, but they still sit in the seventh seed in the NFC playoff picture with a 4-4 record. Coming off their bye week in Week 9, the 49ers now seem poised to go on a nice little run to start the second […]

The hot stove for MLB free agency is just beginning to heat up. With the Houston Astros officially being crowned as the World Series champions for the 2022 season, teams around the league are beginning to put together their plans for free agency and the offseason as a whole in their quest to win it […]

The Minnesota Vikings have been one of the biggest surprises in the NFL through the first half of the season. They have the second best record in the NFL at 7-1 so far, with their only loss coming at the hands of the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles. The Vikings are looking likely to run away with […]

The San Francisco 49ers have had one of the more interesting starts to the 2022 season in the NFL. They have a 4-4 record, but have swung violently between looking like the best team in the NFC West, and one of the worst teams in the league. Losing their starting quarterback in Trey Lance for […]

The New York Mets made the first big move of the offseason when they re-signed their closer Edwin Diaz to a huge five-year, $102 million contract. This is a great move for the Mets, as Diaz was the most electric closer in the MLB this season, and it ensures that Diaz will be closing games […]

The Sacramento Kings have become the face of futility in the NBA, as they have the longest standing playoff drought in the league running at 16 years now. Considering how they are just 3-6 to start the 2022-23 season, it doesn’t seem likely they will be snapping that streak this season. But it sounds like […]

The Las Vegas Raiders have been arguably the most disappointing team in the NFL so far this season. The Raiders, who ended up in the playoffs last season despite all the turmoil surrounding their team, made some big upgrades this offseason that were expected to make them a Super Bowl contender out of the AFC […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers 2022 season was all about transitioning away from Ben Roethlisberger and trying to find the quarterback of the future. Considering how they are 2-6 so far, it’s safe to say that that quest hasn’t gone too well so far. The Steelers are among the worst teams in the league, largely due to […]

The Indianapolis Colts moved on from Frank Reich after a disappointing 3-5-1 start to the season. Stepping in to take his place in the interim is Jeff Saturday. Saturday was a confusing hire to many because he has no prior coaching experience in his career. If that’s the case, what makes him qualified to turn […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have been the best team in the NFL to start the 2022 season. They have raced out to an 8-0 start in the early going, and haven’t shown any signs of slowing down recently. While it’s not likely that the Eagles will be able to win every regular season game they play, […]

The Indianapolis Colts are all over the map right now, as they have benched their quarterback in Matt Ryan, fired their head coach and offensive coordinator in Frank Reich and Marcus Brady, and hired Jeff Saturday, who has no coaching experience, as their interim head coach. And to add onto that, Colts owner Jim Irsay […]

The Green Bay Packers have had an ugly start to their 2022 campaign. After entering the season expected to be one of the top Super Bowl contenders out of the NFC, the Packers have instead faltered in the first half of the season, and have just a 3-6 record entering Week 10, while also being […]

The Boston Bruins have been on an absolute tear to start the 2022-23 NHL season. They have raced out to an 11-2-0 record to start the season, and have quickly built up a big lead atop the Atlantic Division. Things could be set to get even better soon, as it looks like Charlie McAvoy’s return […]

The Green Bay Packers 2022 season has been quite ugly so far. They have stumbled out to a 3-6 record through the first nine games, and are currently in the middle of a five-game losing streak that has seen them to lose to teams such as the Washington Commanders and Detroit Lions. There hasn’t been […]

The 2022 season didn’t exactly pan out the way the Minnesota Twins were hoping it would, and they are headed back to the drawing board this offseason trying to figure out how to get themselves back into the playoffs after missing them entirely this season. The biggest item on their to-do list revolves around whether […]

The expectations for the Minnesota Timberwolves entering the 2022-23 season were heightened exponentially after they swung a blockbuster trade for Rudy Gobert this past offseason. Instead, they have crawled out to a slow start, and have been one of the most disappointing teams to start the year. Many players are struggling, but D’Angelo Russell may […]

The Indianapolis Colts continue to shock the NFL this season. They have already benched their starting quarterback in Matt Ryan, fired their head coach and offensive coordinator in Frank Reich and Marcus Brady, and hired Jeff Saturday as their interim head coach, despite the fact he has no prior head coaching experience whatsoever. It didn’t […]

The Houston Astros are World Series champions after knocking off the Philadelphia Phillies in their six game series. The Astros, who have made it to the ALCS in six straight seasons, finally won their second title during that stretch, despite making it to the World Series in three of the past five seasons. This win […]

The Philadelphia Phillies magical postseason run did not come to the end that the team was hoping for. After barely sneaking into the playoffs as the six seed in the National League, the Phillies dominated in the postseason, and unexpectedly found themselves in the World Series against the Houston Astros. Unfortunately, the Astros ended up […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers snuck out a victory in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams thanks to some late game heroics by Tom Brady. However, the offense continued to struggle, and it now looks like they may have a Leonard Fournette problem to deal with moving forward. If you ask head coach Todd Bowles, […]

The Chicago Bears have somehow managed to stay close in most of their games this season, and that rang true again in Week 9 against the Miami Dolphins. On paper, this game was a big mismatch, but the Bears managed to go toe-to-toe with Chicago throughout this game, and very nearly ended up walking away […]

The Washington Commanders were riding high heading into their Week 9 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, as they were on a surprising three-game win streak that had kept them somewhat afloat in the crowded NFC East. For a point in time, it seemed like the Commanders had a chance of pulling off a huge upset […]
