The Seattle Mariners have officially ended the longest standing playoff drought in the MLB. After 21 years, the Mariners will be making their long-awaited return to the playoffs as one of the American League’s wild card teams. And if you ask Mariners head coach Scott Servais, why should the Mariners stop at just making the […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers 2022 season hasn’t gotten off to a great start. They managed to pull off a surprising upset victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1, but looked largely lifeless over their next two contests against the New England Patriots and Cleveland Browns. A big reason for those losses was the performance of […]

The Miami Dolphins are looking to push their record to 4-0 in their Week 4 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football. While that headline is great, many are keeping an eye on Tyreek Hill and Eli Apple after Hill told the media that he was coming for Apple after he talked smack […]

The Arizona Cardinals Week 3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams was a disappointing follow up performance to their stunning comeback win against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2. Moving into Week 4, the Cardinals have a favorable matchup against the Carolina Panthers, who have also struggled to open the 2022 season. With the […]

Josh McDaniels first three games with the Las Vegas Raiders haven’t gone too well, as the Raiders are the only team in the NFL that haven’t won or tied a game so far this season. With the Raiders set to take on the Denver Broncos in Week 4, the Broncos are laughing at McDaniels’ slow […]

The Minnesota Vikings offense has had a pretty solid start to their 2022 season. However, it looked like they might be in a bit of trouble when Dalvin Cook picked up a shoulder injury in their recent win over the Detroit Lions in Week 3. With the Vikings preparing to head to London for their […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense hasn’t gotten off to a great start in the 2022 season. Everyone knows this, including their legendary quarterback Tom Brady, who recently discussed some of the struggles the Bucs have experienced to open the season. It’s clear in the early-going that there hasn’t been a lot going Tampa’s way offensively. […]

The Phoenix Suns have had a rocky offseason for the most part. But now that the 2022-23 season is very nearly upon us, they appear set to be one of the top teams in the Western Conference yet again after finishing with the best record in the NBA last season. Everyone in Phoenix is hoping […]

The postseason may as well be starting early for the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets. With just six games left on the season, the Mets hold a one game lead over the Braves in the National League East. It just so happens that the Braves and Mets will play three of those final six […]

The Washington Wizards are in a bit of an odd spot entering the 2022-23 season. They want to compete with Bradley Beal leading the way, but they simply don’t have enough talent around him to make any noise in a loaded Eastern Conference. Even then, that didn’t stop them from giving Beal a supermax extension […]

The 2022 MLB playoffs are very nearly upon us. One of the most compelling playoff races that hasn’t reached a conclusion yet is the race between the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves for the National League East crown. And a guy who figures to play a big role in where the Mets finish, and […]

The Houston Astros have once again emerged as the team to beat out of the American League this season.

Barring a complete collapse over the next few games, Houston will roll into the playoffs […]

The Cleveland Guardians have turned what was a tightly contested playoff race atop the American League Central between themselves, the Chicago White Sox, and the Minnesota Twins, into a laugher. The Guardians have already wrapped up the AL Central, and will almost certainly head into the playoffs as the number three seed in the AL. […]

The Los Angeles Lakers 2021-22 season was, well, disappointing to say the least. Despite adding Russell Westbrook to play alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Lakers never got off the ground last season, and ultimately ended up missing the playoffs just two seasons after winning a championship back in 2020. The Lakers were hard […]

The Brooklyn Nets endured a very challenging offseason to emerge as a title contender heading into the 2022-23 NBA season.

The Portland Trail Blazers and their players are gearing up for the 2022-23 season now that training camp is officially underway.

The Atlanta Braves are doing everything they can to win the National League East over the New York Mets.

The Los Angeles Lakers are hoping that a coaching change will help them make it back to the playoffs this season. In that sense, it’s clear that their new head coach, Darvin Ham, has some lofty expectations surrounding him as he enters his first season at the helm of the Lakers. Ham built a reputation […]

The Green Bay Packers have had a somewhat uneven start to their season. They sport a solid 2-1 record, but they haven’t been dominating their opponents like we have been accustomed to seeing them do during the Aaron Rodgers era. That could change in Week 4 against the New England Patriots, though, so we decided […]

The Boston Celtics 2021-22 season was an undeniable success. You are probably familiar with their story by now; after starting the season off with an 18-21 record, the Celtics went on a crazy run during the second half of the season that saw them make it all the way to the 2022 NBA Finals. Even […]

The New York Mets are still battling with the Atlanta Braves for the top spot in the National League East. They currently hold a one game lead, but that’s not an extremely comfortable lead, and it’s clear the stakes are huge. Whichever team wins the division will automatically advance to the National League Division Series, […]

The Miami Dolphins have been one of the biggest surprises in the NFL to open the season, as they are one of two remaining undefeated teams through three weeks of action. Their latest win in Week 3 against the Buffalo Bills may have been their most impressive one yet, and they managed to do it […]

The Cincinnati Bengals 2022 season hasn’t started off the way it was expected to. They finally bounced back in Week 3 against the New York Jets to get their first win of the season after two rough losses to kick things off. But it looks like they may have suffered a different type of loss […]

Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears offense have had a rough start to the 2022 season. Despite that, they are 2-1 through their first three games.

The 2022 MLB season is in the homestretch. We have less than two weeks to go in the regular season, which will then lead to the start of the playoffs. While there are a lot of really strong teams this season, it’s clear that the Houston Astros are the favorite to make it to the […]

After looking like they were about to fall apart at times during the second half of the 2022 season, the New York Yankees have recovered and are closing in on wrapping up the American League East division over the next few days. Barring a shocking collapse, the Yankees will automatically move on to the Division […]

The New Orleans Pelicans have a lot of reasons for excitement heading into the 2022-23 season.

Oh, and they are getting Zion Williamson back […]

The Phoenix Suns have been waiting to hit the court for the 2022-23 season ever since they were eliminated from the playoffs by the Dallas Mavericks.

The Atlanta Hawks are entering the 2022-23 season with some heightened expectations. After standing pat for most of the 2021 offseason and seeing their team regress last season, the Hawks made sure they wouldn’t make the same mistake this offseason. They swung some big moves this time around, and cemented themselves as one of the […]

Things didn’t look good for the Dallas Cowboys after Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season. But thanks to two straight wins with Cooper Rush under center, the Cowboys look to be right on track, despite losing Dak Prescott to a thumb injury in their season-opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Rush has now won […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered a tough loss against the Green Bay Packers in Week 3. After scoring a touchdown late in the game, Tom Brady and the Bucs offense took a delay of game penalty on their two-point conversion attempt to tie the game, pushing them back five yards. The Packers defense would prevent […]

Tyreek Hill and the Miami Dolphins have been one of the biggest surprises in the NFL so far this season. After surprisingly beating the Buffalo Bills in Week 3 to push their record on the season to 3-0, the Dolphins will be looking to improve their record to 4-0 in Week 4 when they take […]

The Boston Celtics decision to suspend their head coach Ime Udoka for the entire 2022-23 season has shocked the entire NBA world, including the Celtics own players. While some folks are intent on making sure Udoka gets left in the past, Boston’s point guard Marcus Smart offered a different opinion on the matter that will […]

Nikola Jokic’s sudden emergence as arguably the best player in the NBA has helped keep the Denver Nuggets afloat as they have dealt with a bevy of injuries over the past two seasons. Jokic’s back-to-back MVP awards are nice, but they haven’t helped Denver achieve any sort of postseason success unfortunately. Jokic’s style of play […]

Michael Porter Jr. has been in the NBA for four years now, but he’s really only played in two seasons so far.

The Brooklyn Nets media day has offered fans their first glimpse at the team in the aftermath of their wild 2022 offseason.

The 2022 season was supposed to be the season when the Las Vegas Raiders put everything together to emerge as one of the best teams in the NFL. Instead, through three games in the season, they have looked lost and confused for long stretches of the action. The result has been an 0-3 start to […]
