The San Francisco 49ers suffered a razor-thin loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 3, 11-10, and some folks were quick to pin the blame on Niners quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. This was after Jimmy G threw an interception that pretty much ended his team’s hopes of escaping with a victory against the Broncos. For his […]

There was a lot of buzz surrounding Thursday night’s spectacle between the Miami Dolphins and the Cincinnati Bengals. Tua Tagovailoa came into the matchup undefeated as he took on one of the top quarterbacks in the game today in Joe Burrow. Tagovailoa had a relatively hot start to the game, but it all came crashing […]

As usual, there has been a lot of buzz surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers during the offseason. A lot of the talk has (naturally) centered around LeBron James as he looks to lead LA to a bounce-back campaign in what is amazingly going to be his 20th year in the NBA. Somewhat overlooked amid all […]

The Golden State Warriors are without a doubt one of the most popular NBA teams in the whole world. This squad just has a global appeal unlike any other in the league — except perhaps for LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, of course. What also cannot be denied, however, is that the Warriors’ […]

Doc Rivers is one of the most respected coaches in the NBA today. It’s no coincidence that he also happens to be one of the most successful shot-callers in the entire league. Much like the rest of the NBA, the Philadelphia 76ers also started training camp this week. A mic’d up Doc Rivers recently provided […]

Dwyane Wade has stepped down from his post as a co-host on TNT’s Tuesday night NBA show. The folks over at Turner have found an able replacement for the Hall of Fame shooting guard, though, and it comes in the form of Jamal Crawford. Wade had nothing but love for Crawford as news broke about […]

Ever since he won his first championship with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020, Anthony Davis just hasn’t been that same dude. He’s been a beast when he’s on the court, but the problem is, injuries have caused him to spend more time on the shelf than he has playing basketball. All this is about […]

More details have emerged on Brett Favre’s highly-publicized welfare scandal, and unfortunately for the Green Bay Packers icon, things are looking worse for him as the weeks go by. In a recent report by Katie Strang and Kalyn Kahler of The Athletic, it has now been revealed that Favre’s charitable foundation allegedly sent money meant for young […]

There are few more controversial narratives in NBA Finals history than when Dennis Rodman decided to take a full leave of absence from the Chicago Bulls in 1998.

So much has been made about Patrick Mahomes’ sideline spat with Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy during their Week 3 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. As a matter of fact, you could say that the incident has been blown totally out of proportion. This seems to be the message Bieniemy himself is trying […]

Before joining the Chicago Bulls last summer, DeMar DeRozan was linked to a handful of other teams. In the end, DeRozan took his talents to the Windy City, and he has thrived with the Bulls ever since he came. We will never know the exact reason why DeRozan ended up in Chicago. However, it would […]

It’s been two years since we last saw him in a Charlotte Hornets uniform, but he’s now come back to the organization. Marvin Williams, who played six seasons repping the Hornets, has now returned to the team, except that this time, he will no longer be taking the court. Rod Boone of The Hornets Observer […]

Much has been made about Jimmy Butler’s hair transformation this summer. The Miami Heat star busted out some rather contentious dreadlocks that have garnered quite a bit of buzz.

The Chicago Bulls were dealt an awful blow after it was revealed that Lonzo Ball could be in danger of missing the entire season. Ahead of another procedure on his injured knee, Ball himself revealed that he “can’t run or jump.” This is going to be his third surgery on the injury, which is why […]

So much has been made about Ben Simmons shooting, or rather, the lack thereof. If you ask Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash, however, he could care less about this particular aspect of Simmons’ game. Nash firmly believes that Simmons is a very special player regardless of his sub-par shooting acumen. After all, this is […]

Nick Young recently made some waves after his controversial take on the Ime Udoka situation with the Boston Celtics. The 37-year-old pretty much condoned the fact that Udoka had an affair with a female staffer by saying that it’s just human nature for men to get “bored.” As if that wasn’t enough, Young has now […]

There was another senseless act of violence on Tuesday as four teenagers were injured and one 14-year-old boy was killed in a shooting at the Roxborough High School.

The New York Jets got a major boost on the Zach Wilson front after the highly-touted quarterback was cleared to make his season debut on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers following offseason surgery. At this point, it is clear that the 23-year-old is raring to go. Wilson missed the Jets’ first three games of the […]

It was a weird summer for both Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets. Not only did KD attempt to facilitate his trade away from the team, but at one point, he also demanded that both head coach Steve Nash and general manager Sean Marks be fired from their post. Right now, however, it now seems […]

Dalvin Cook was forced to exit the Minnesota Vikings’ Week 3 win over the Detroit Lions due to injury.

It was Skip Bayless who first dropped the news about Deandre Ayton and Monty Williams nearly going at it during the Phoenix Suns’ Game 7 blowout against the Dallas Mavericks in last year’s Western Conference Semifinals.

After being hired as the new head coach for the Los Angeles Lakers early in the summer, it now feels like Darvin Ham has been at the helm for quite some time now. The fact of the matter is, however, that it was only recently that he got his first taste of action with his […]

Ime Udoka’s situation with the Boston Celtics has been a very polarizing subject. Some folks believe that the year-long suspension he was slapped with was too harsh a punishment for his indiscretion, while others argue that it’s only fitting for his violation of company policy. Whatever the case may be, NBA icon Shaq just hopes […]

On the first day of camp, Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash addressed the elephant in the room.

There has been a lot of talk surrounding DeAndre Ayton and his supposed beef with Phoenix Suns head coach Monty Williams.

Myles Garrett made headlines for all the wrong reasons on Monday after the Cleveland Browns defensive end was involved in a horrific car accident.

As the Kansas City Chiefs headed to the locker room at halftime during their Week 3 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, Patrick Mahomes had a rather animated conversation with Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy.

Phoenix Suns big man Deandre Ayton dropped a bombshell on Tuesday after he revealed that he hadn’t spoken a single word to coach Monty Williams since they were eliminated from the playoffs last season.

Not long after the season ended for the Miami Heat, Kyle Lowry made a sweeping declaration about how he felt that his debut campaign with his new team was a “wasted year.” At that time, it felt like the six-time All-Star was merely caught up with all the emotions of their disappointing Eastern Conference Finals […]

Jimmy Butler just recently celebrated his 33rd birthday. At this point in his career, there’s no denying that he’s no spring chicken. Be that as it may, it’s also a fact that the Miami Heat talisman still remains to be one of the top players in the NBA today. As a matter of fact, ESPN […]

On Monday, Patrick Beverley made a shocking revelation about Los Angeles Lakers teammate Russell Westbrook being one of his best friends in the NBA.

Not too long ago, Miami Heat team president Pat Riley called out Kyle Lowry for his fitness. Riley said that he thinks the veteran point guard could be in “better shape” at this point in his career.

As it […]
