Ben Simmons and the Brooklyn Nets are in Philadelphia Tuesday night to play his old team, the Philadelphia 76ers. Nobody expected Simmons to play like Michael Jordan dropping 55 points on the New York Knicks shortly after making his comeback from his first retirement, but Simmons still managed to evoke some imagery of His Airness, albeit […]

The Washington Commanders will remember Sean Taylor with a heartfelt gesture on Sunday when the Atlanta Falcons visit them for a Week 12 matchup.

Jordan Clarkson is feeling like he’s in a Filipino version of Groundhog Day, especially when the Utah Jazz are on the road. Clarkson and the Jazz were in Los Angeles Monday night to play the Los Angeles Clippers and — you guessed it — there was a Filipino Heritage Night in that game. Clarkson bared to […]

The Stanford Cardinal haven’t been to a bowl game since 2018. That streak will continue this year, with Stanford football not being bowl-eligible again. And with just one more game remaining on their schedule before plunging into vacation, Cardinal head coach David Shaw still sees motivation in his team to win its assignment this coming […]

Much has been said about how Philadelphia 76ers fans were expected to be hostile toward Ben Simmons in his return to his old stomping grounds. Well, there’s hardly any trace of that prior to Tuesday night’s game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Sixers, with Simmons even signing autographs and taking selfies with Philly fans. […]

Before he became head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, Nick Sirianni was part of the coaching staff over the side of the Indianapolis Colts. There, he worked under the head coaching of Frank Reich, who was later fired by the Colts. The Colts’ decision to fire Reich and replace him with Jeff Saturday seemingly isn’t […]

With the Phoenix Suns up for sale, who could be the best person — or group — to save the day for the NBA franchise? Throw in the name of former NBA big man Channing Frye as among those with at least a semblance of interest in becoming part of a group that will next […]

The Baltimore Orioles are rumored to be keeping a close eye on a veteran arm in free agency. In a report by Mark Feisand of the MLB Network, he said that Baltimore is seeking a “front-end starter,” who could be the No. 2 or No. 3 guy on the team’s rotation, and Eovaldi seems to […]

Jim Harbaugh took a jab at Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day a year ago following the Michigan Wolverines’ win over their bitter rivals at home. Prior to that contest, Day made a comment that the Buckeyes will score 100 on Michigan. When the Wolverines eked out a 42-27 in Ann Arbor against Ohio […]

The New Jersey Devils just seem that they are incapable of losing games. You have to jog and then walk some more before you reach the last time the Devils lost a game. Since losing to the Washington Capitals late last October, the Devils have managed to stitch together a 13-year win streak, a stretch […]

Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine was benched in the fourth quarter of the Bulls’ recent 108-107 home loss to the Orlando Magic. In that game, LaVine scored just four points on a horrid 1-for-14 shooting from the field. Even before he was benched, LaVine definitely knew how badly he performed in that game, regardless of […]

Jimmy Garoppolo has gone from looking like a quarterback whose time with the San Francisco 49ers was counted to being back as the unquestioned alpha quarterback for the team in 2022. It even came to a point that Garoppolo was on the verge of getting traded before he inked a one-year $6.5 million restructured contract […]

Despite having to deal this season with some significant injuries, the Dallas Cowboys have still found a way to go 7-3 after 10 games. They survived multiple weeks without Dak Prescott and with Cooper Rush serving as his placeholder under center. They have also been successful overall even though they have yet to see veteran […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves are not exactly in a good place in the Western Conference right now. As of this writing, they are barely above the .500 line with a 9-8 record, which is only good for 10th in the West. Understandably, not a few Timberwolves fans aren’t taking the team’s slow start well, and it […]

The New York Jets were undeniably horrible in Week 11, which was when they lost to the New England Patriots on the road, 10-3. Much of the disappointment over the side of the Jets stems not from the failure of their special teams in preventing the Patriots from winning the game via a punt return […]

It’s been quite an adventure lately for the Atlanta Hawks.  They have neither won nor lost consecutively over their last seven games. They had a chance of winning two in a row for the first time this month Monday night but they couldn’t get past the Cleveland Cavaliers, losing to Donovan Mitchell and company, 114-102. […]

There is no hotter team in the NHL right now than the New Jersey Devils, and it’s got nothing to do with their moniker. The Devils are crushing the competition in the league right now. No one has been able to stop them from collecting one win after another. In fact, they have just tied […]

Following a report on Monday that Lane Kiffin will be leaving the Ole Miss Rebels to be the next head coach of the Auburn Tigers, Kiffin hopped on Twitter and decided to have fun. First off, Lane Kiffin posted what looked like a book about the history of the Egg Bowl, which, of course, is […]

The Dallas Cowboys unleashed hell on Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings’ offense in Week 11, destroying the Vikes on the road to the tune of a 40-3 score. The Vikings are no jokes on offense. Apart from Cousins, they have running back Dalvin Cook, wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen, and tight end […]

The Auburn Tigers are reportedly keeping a close eye on Ole Miss Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin. It’s a topic that will continue to swirl around Kiffin as the 2022 college football season’s end nears. That’s not to mention the rumors that there’s a potential that Kiffin would be making the jump to Auburn after […]

An Oklahoma Sooners football player is in hot water after being accused of domestic violence.

There’s no bigger, more important game this week in the world of college football than the one featuring bitter Big Ten rivals Michigan Wolverines and Ohio State Buckeyes. Both Michigan football and Ohio State football are undefeated. Not only that, but these schools will also square off while both of them are inside the College […]

Who’s going to stop the New Jersey Devils? Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers will try to be the ones to derail the red-hot Devils this Monday, as they look to return the favor to New Jersey for their earlier loss to Nico Hischier and company. Will the Oilers cool off New Jersey? Or, will […]

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals had Week 11’s rematch against the Pittsburgh Steelers circled on their calendars, as they had been seeking to return the favor to their AFC North rivals after losing to the Steelers at home in Week 1, 23-20. The Bengals completed that goal, as they took down Pittsburgh on the […]

The Minnesota Vikings got humbled Sunday by the Dallas Cowboys at home, as they absorbed a 40-3 defeat. That was just the second loss of the season for the Vikings, but it felt like a painful blow to the stomach, considering the manner in which they got absolutely dominated in their own territory by Dallas. […]

The playoffs just got harder for the Pittsburgh Steelers to reach after losing to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11 at home on Sunday, 37-30. For Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson, the frustration gets amplified by the lack of opportunities he is seeing downfield. Against the Bengals, he only had 21 receiving yards on four […]

Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson has heard it all from fans this season about his struggles. Prior to his 41-point explosion Sunday in the Warriors’ 127-120 road win against the Houston Rockets, Thompson was getting heavily criticized constantly for his letdown performance, but he finally showed his critics and haters why he is still […]

In case NBA fans needed a reminder of just how legendary of a shooter Klay Thompson is, he dropped a big one Sunday in the Golden State Warriors’ 127-120 road win over the Houston Rockets. Thompson, who promised critics that the floodgates were soon going to open delivered on that guarantee against the Rockets, as […]

The Dallas Mavericks wasted a great opportunity to add to their win total this season Monday night, as they lost to a banged-up Denver Nuggets squad that did not have Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Aaron Gordon, 98-97. Perhaps even more confounding was the limited minutes that Mavs head coach Jason Kidd gave Christian Wood. […]

The Splash Brothers were in vintage form Sunday against the Houston Rockets to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 127-120 road win. Klay Thompson exploded for 41 points with 10 3-pointers on 14 attempts, while Stephen Curry went off for 33 points on 11-for-20 shooting from the field, including seven threes on 14 attempts […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers just recently decided not to tender outfielder Cody Bellinger, which likely very much means that it’s the end of the road for him in Dodgers blue. Bellinger has seen his numbers take a plunge over the past couple of years, but he remains an interesting free agent, given his history when […]

All eyes will be on Tuesday will be on the game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers. Apart from this matchup featuring two title contenders, it’s also one that marks the return of Ben Simmons to his old stomping grounds. Simmons’ stint with the Sixers had a controversial ending and considering his acrimonious […]

The Kentucky Wildcats suffered their second loss of the season Sunday, as John Calipari and his boys absorbed an 88-72 defeat in Spokane at the hands of the Gonzaga Bulldogs. Not a lot went in favor of Kentucky basketball in that game, especially on offense.  The Wildcats shot just 39.1 percent from the field. They […]

The nightmare of a season continues for the Denver Broncos, as they dropped to 3-7 following another heartbreaking 22-16 overtime home loss on Sunday to Davante Adams and the Las Vegas Raiders. Adams had a walk in the park for a touchdown in overtime to get the Raiders the victory and smash the Broncos into […]

What do you know, the Sacramento Kings have a royal streak going. They extended their unbeaten run to six games Sunday with a 137-129 victory over the Detroit Pistons to cap off a four-game homestand with a win. The Kings’ success is mainly due to their explosive offense which has looked like an unsolvable problem […]

The Cincinnati Bengals still have plenty of work to do, but cornerback Mike Hilton is definitely feeling that his team is finally back — as in back to the form that guided them all the way to a surprise Super Bowl appearance last season. Following the Bengals’ 37-30 road win over the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday, […]

Another week, another loss for Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos. And with each loss comes a postgame press conference with Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett trying to explain what just transpired. This time around, Hackett seemingly rued a decision made on the field by Wilson, who threw the ball away near the end of […]
