Klay Thompson’s boat chronicles have been one of the most entertaining parts of the Golden State Warriors offseason. But apparently not all was well with his maritime adventures. Associate head coach Mike Brown revealed that Klay Thompson was breaking the law as he traversed the waters with his boat. The Warriors star was actually parking […]

John Wall and the Houston Rockets have made it known that they’re headed for divorce. But it’s proving to be much easier said than done to actually find a trade partner. ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski spoke out about the prospect of the Rockets trading John Wall. He claimed that it would be “almost impossible” for […]

Kyler Murray was spectacular in the Arizona Cardinals’ Week 1 opener against the Tennessee Titans. But Chandler Jones was arguably the man who keyed victory for them the most. The Cardinals QB spoke out about Jones in a recent presser. While he thoroughly praised him, he also took a hilarious shot at his teammate for […]

The San Francisco 49ers never trailed in their opening week matchup against the Detroit Lions. A win was expected, but what wasn’t was how little wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk factored into it. 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan was vocal to reporters on Aiyuk’s lack of involvement, adamant that he made the right decision based on what […]

The Denver Nuggets just spent big on Aaron Gordon. The athletic swingman signed a four-year, $92 million extension that keeps him in the Mile High city throughout his prime. But one question asked by some would be how this deal affects his frontcourt partner Michael Porter Jr.? The short answer? It doesn’t. That’s according to […]

The Boston Celtics have done some retooling on their roster this offseason, but they have yet to acquire a true difference maker alongside their star wings in Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. But apparently it isn’t from lack of trying. The Celtics were reportedly in hot pursuit of one of Jayson Tatum’s teammates on Team […]

Aaron Judge hit the big bomb that led to the New York Yankees’ recent comeback win over the Minnesota Twins. Despite the clutch hit in the 8th, the bulky slugger admitted that he still wasn’t at 100%. Judge’s admission makes it even more impressive that he came up big for the Yankees: “AARON JUDGE DROPS […]

The Dallas Mavericks are in the market for some backcourt support behind Luka Doncic – and looks like they’ve zoned in on their target. The Mavs have been linked to former New York Knicks lottery pick Frank Ntilikina, as reported by NBA insider Marc Stein. The Mavericks have emerged as the likely next destination for […]

The Houston Rockets are expected to move their fourth All-Star guard from the last three seasons as a John Wall trade seems imminent. But apparently that wasn’t seen as the case just a couple of months ago. According to a report from The Athletic, John Wall served as the veteran voice that the Rockets desperately […]

The New England Patriots were in the driver’s seat towards the end of their Week 1 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. With a first down at the 11-yard line, they had three cracks at getting it into the end zone before taking their go-ahead field goal. But then Damien Harris lost the football, and the […]

To say that Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers had a nightmare Week 1 would be the biggest understatement of the NFL season thus far. But apparently there’s one silver lining to it all – and it involves Tom Brady. In a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers was candid about his Packers […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo was the biggest winner of the past NBA season, and it’s not even close. The Milwaukee Bucks star has secured his place in history as a proven title winner capable of reaching a championship gear few others have matched. But there’s little doubt that all of his on-court success is secondary to Giannis […]

The Baltimore Ravens had every chance to start their season 1-0 against the Las Vegas Raiders, but Lamar Jackson and his men couldn’t capitalize. The Ravens were up 14-0 early in the second quarter, and stayed a touchdown ahead throughout the second half. But the Raiders stayed in it, thanks in large part to Lamar […]

The New York Knicks spent big in the offseason to bring in veteran shooting guard Evan Fournier. The frenchman looks to make a big splash in the Big Apple on the court, but it looks like he’s first trying to get familiar with the city off of it. The Knicks guard posted himself taking the […]

Chicago Bears fans want nothing more in this world than for Justin Fields to start over Andy Dalton at quarterback. But could their patience pay off in the long run, just as it did for guys like Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady? That’s the case ESPN insider Adam Schefter used to justify the decision to […]

The rivalry between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning lives on, despite the fact that one is playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and another is commentating on such games. Manning took his chance on his live broadcast to take a shot at Brady over his offseason rant against the NFL’s new leniency towards jersey numbers. […]

This NFL offseason has been defined more by the quarterbacks that didn’t get traded than the ones that actually did. Aaron Rodgers and Deshaun Watson have both remained with their teams, for vastly different reasons. At one point, Russell Wilson was also expected by some to be moving on from the Seattle Seahawks. While obviously […]

A multi-sport beef brewed between Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James and AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic earlier this year. Months after, it seems Zlatan stands by his take. Back in February, Ibrahimovic went at King James. The Lakers star eventually responded to the pointed shot at him, which was a virtual “shut up and […]

The dream finish for McLaren has become reality. Daniel Ricciardo wins the Italian Grand Prix, with Lando Norris right behind him on the Formula 1 podium. Daniel Ricciardo took control of the race and never looked back. His first-place finish was aided by the fact that Formula 1’s top two drivers, Max Verstappen and Lewis […]

It’s high drama once again in this Formula 1 race weekend. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton are both out of the running at the Italian Grand Prix after a scary collision on one another.

Deshaun Watson doesn’t appear to be going anywhere – for now. The Houston Texans look poised to keep their quarterback as we enter a new NFL season. Despite all the controversy surrounding their signal-caller, Houston has reportedly remained steadfast in chasing their desired trade package. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the team wants no less […]

There’s renewed buzz around the Los Angeles Rams franchise coming into the season with Matthew Stafford. The former Detroit Lions quarterback gives the team much more stability after a rocky season with Jared Goff at the helm. But apparently, the Stafford-to-Rams deal wasn’t seen as the likely outcome as the Lions shopped their QB. According […]

It’s crazy to think that Deshaun Watson still hasn’t been traded away from the Houston Texans at this point. But much of that has had to do with the team’s unwillingness to budge from its asking price. ESPN insider Adam Schefter reports that the Texans have sought a combination of at least six players in […]

One of the biggest gripes some fans have over the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame is that it’s the furthest thing from being impenetrable. The institution that’s supposed to safeguard the history of the NBA and basketball as a whole is filled with borderline stars and unknown names to the common fan. Take Calvin Murphy, […]

Russell Westbrook doesn’t give a damn what you think. The newest Los Angeles Lakers superstar has always been unapologetically himself, both on and off the court. The Brodie showed exactly that with his recent outfit, which understandably drew some varied takes from Lakers fans on Twitter. Check out the look for yourself, with a Kendrick […]

Tim Tebow knows a thing or two about being a hyped quarterback. Trevor Lawrence is an entirely different level of prospect for the Jacksonville Jaguars, facing even more hype than Tebow ever did. But Tebow, a former first round QB himself, saw all that he needed to see from Trevor Lawrence during his brief cup […]

Justin Herbert could do no wrong for the Los Angeles Chargers last season. The third quarterback taken off the board during the 2020 NFL Draft outshined his more highly touted peers in Joe Burrow and Tua Tagovailoa to become the Offensive Rookie of the Year. But apparently, his talents extend off the field as well. […]

The Tennessee Titans grabbed NFL headlines with their acquisition of superstar wide receiver Julio Jones. Even before the move, many pegged them as the favorites to repeat as division winners in the AFC South, given the Deshaun Watson fiasco ongoing with Houston Texans, and the big question mark surrounding how good Carson Wentz can be […]

Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski were one of the most devastating tandems in the NFL for almost a decade with the New England Patriots. Not much has changed as the two have taken their talents to Tampa Bay. In their first game of the season, the Buccaneers got a masterful performance from their quarterback-tight end […]

The Chicago Bulls went for it. You can disagree with some of the moves they made this offseason, but you can’t fault the front office for lack of trying (shoutout to the Blazers) as they head into a critical season for franchise face Zach LaVine. The team already made a splash before last season’s trade […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans need no introduction to the magical tandem that fell into their laps last season: Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski. The two were in perfect harmony yet again during NFL Kickoff against the Dallas Cowboys, with Brady finding Gronk for two touchdowns in a game they needed every score to win. The […]

There’s a common phenomenon in sports known as the “contract year” player. Some athletes put their best foot forward up until they finally cash in on a huge payday, then they can finally coast a bit with their money secured. That’s not something Pittsburgh Steelers fans have to worry about with TJ Watt. The Steelers […]

Cam Newton just dropped a bombshell of a Funky Friday episode that served as a tell-all for his unceremonious exit from the New England Patriots. But beyond the Twitter buzz he generated, there reportedly hasn’t been as much interest in his actual football services. According to a report from Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, there have […]

The beef between Paul Pierce and Ray Allen has been simmering for nearly a decade. The former Boston Celtics sharpshooter haven’t exactly been on great terms with his former team, particularly with his star teammates in Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Rajon Rondo. But could the Celtics legends finally have squashed the beef? That’s what it […]

In just one playoff series, Trae Young turned himself into public enemy number one for Knicks fans and the city of New York. That made him the last guy fans wanted to see during the WWE show in Madison Square Garden. But the Knicks fans had to relive their misery from the NBA postseason as […]

Pat Riley has built a reputation in basketball as a proven winner. The Miami Heat mastermind has nothing left to prove, winning the biggest prize in every level of the sport. Riley won as a player, leading the Kentucky Wildcats to the 1966 NCAA title and also as a member of the 1972 Los Angeles […]

Ben Wallace has finally been given entry into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. The former Detroit Pistons center has built a reputation as one of the toughest, most hard-nosed players to ever grab a rebound in The Palace of Auburn Hills, or in any arena, really. The Pistons star admitted, however, that his “biggest […]

After being the laughing stock of the entire NBA for decades, the Los Angeles Clippers have managed to successfully bridge together two eras of success. Before Kawhi Leonard and Paul George made the jump back in 2019, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan turned LAC into a perennial playoff contender. But despite piling on […]

Cam Newton dropped an absolute bombshell of a tell-all just a week after he was cut from the New England Patriots. There have been numerous reports that have come out on the true reason behind the dismissal. Bill Belichick spoke out on it. So did Mac Jones. But the side everyone wanted to hear most, […]
