Some MLB managers are very secretive, withholding information like starting pitchers until the very last moment to, they hope, gain a competitive advantage over their opponent. San Diego Padres manager Mike Shildt has decided to take the opposite approach entering an NLDS win-or-go-home Game 5 vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers. Instead of keeping his starting […]

JJ Redick has yet to coach his first official NBA game, but the Los Angeles Lakers players are reportedly pretty jazzed about the hire already.

Following Robert Saleh’s firing as head coach of the New York Jets, reports surfaced that before his dismissal, Saleh was considering changing up his offensive staff, including possibly firing offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett.

The current conspiracy theory around the New York Jets is that quarterback Aaron Rodgers played a large role in yesterday’s firing of head coach Robert Saleh, who seemed to have a tough time getting on the same page publicly with his 40-year-old quarterback. But according to a new report, that theory is ‘BS’. Jets owner […]

The New York Mets jumped out ahead in the NLDS vs. the Philadelphia Phillies with a 6-2 victory, but Mets manager Carlos Mendoza knows better than to celebrate before it’s really time to do so.

Aaron Rodgers is the oldest player in the NFL, and while he has generally played much better than his age, that was not the case for most of the first half between his New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings today. Rodgers, who is 40 and will turn 41 later this season, made two costly mistakes […]

The 2024 season has not gone according to plan for the Los Angeles Rams. Typically an annual contender to make it to the Super Bowl, the Rams have stumbled out of the gate with a 1-3 record, a mark that could only get worse without star wide receiver Cooper Kupp. During a surprisingly lopsided 41-10 […]

In Kansas City, the Chiefs are the big dog in town — and for good reason. With Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid at the helm, the Chiefs have won three Super Bowls in the last five years and have a chance to become the first team to ever three-peat in the NFL. So it’s no […]

And while the Jets have plenty of time to do so considering the season isn’t even a quarter-ways done, Davante […]

Aaron Rodgers has made his pitch to English fans about why they should support the New York Jets this weekend when the team plays the Minnesota Vikings in London.

As the old saying goes, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Well, it seems some of New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh’s enemies are within himself after previously attributing offensive penalties to Aaron Rodgers’ cadence.

We are less than a week away from opening night in the NHL, and the Boston Bruins have still yet to come to terms with goaltender Jeremy Swayman, whose contract negotiations with the team have gotten messy and now public.

The Colorado football program is not for everyone, even former national title-winning coach Urban Meyer.

Although Meyer said some of the flash Sanders and his team exhibit makes him “uncomfortable,” the former coach […]

The New England Patriots may have a new starting running back after a poor start to the NFL season for Rhamondre Stevenson.

Just a little over two years ago, Davante Adams signed a five-year, $140 million with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Earlier this year, Teoscar Hernandez signed a one-year, $23.5 million contract to join the Los Angeles Dodgers. And while certainly trying to prove his worth to potential suitors this coming winter, Hernandez has put together one of the best seasons of his career. The soon-to-be-32-year-old is just about to eclipse 100 RBIs on the year, […]

The transition from Jim Harbaugh to Sherrone Moore was always going to be tough for the Michigan football program. But Moore’s first year, while still very much positive so far, has been an even greater struggle because of the team’s quarterback woes. While it appeared Alex Orji’s run-first approach might work after a hard-fought win […]

When Jordan Love went down late in the Green Bay Packers’ season opener, there was concern that the young quarterback would be out for a long time.

The conclusion to the Miami football game vs. Virginia Tech last night was one you had to see to believe, and as the Hurricanes very briefly mourned a heartbreaking loss, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was in disbelief like everyone else.

Once one of the most sought-after defensive linemen in the country, USC defensive tackle Bear Alexander will be sitting out the rest of the season to redshirt.

But some aren’t buying the Yankees hype, especially with the AL West champion […]

It’s unusual to hear a team owner say he believed one of his best players was once a “team killer,” so it must be a good thing Mark Cuban is no longer the owner of the Dallas Mavericks because he did that with Kyrie Irving. Cuban, who sold his majority stake in the Mavericks late […]

Matthew Sluka led the UNLV football program to its first 3-0 start in 40 years, but the transfer quarterback announced last night that he would be sitting out the rest of the season due to “certain representations” that were “not upheld.” The situation is still unfolding, but it is clear that NIL is at the […]

Since Swinney is often criticized, primarily for his outspoken stance regarding the transfer portal, it came as little […]

The Miami Dolphins’ quarterback situation is anything but simple. After Tua Tagovailoa suffered another concussion, backup Skylar Thompson picked up a “painful” injury in the Dolphins’ 24-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks over the weekend.

Jeremy Swayman and the Boston Bruins have still yet to agree to a deal, meaning the team is without its starting goaltender less than two weeks from the 2024-25 NHL season beginning.

The Los Angeles Dodgers is expected to have pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto for the playoffs, but manager Dave Roberts said he will have to make some changes to the rotation as a result.
