The Los Angeles Rams suffered their first loss of the season last week, when they were tripped up by the New Orleans Saints on the road to the tune of a 45-35 score. It’s a bitter loss to swallow for the Rams, but it’s a little bit harder to accept for LA cornerback Marcus Peters, […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are still missing the services of running back Le’Veon Bell, but second-year pro James Conner has been quite a productive placeholder for Bell in the backfield.

Atlanta Hawks forward Vince Carter made just two baskets in Tuesday night’s 113-102 loss at home to the Charlotte Hornets, but those were all he needed to displace Los Angeles Lakers legend and Hall of Famer Jerry West at the 21st spot on the NBA’s all-time field goals made list. Here’s Carter’s bucket in the […]

They say Father Time is undefeated, but that’s not going to stop Atlanta Hawks veteran forward Vince Carter from trying to pick up a fight with him.

Just because the Week 9 showdown between the Green Bay Packers and the New England Patriots is now a thing of the past, it doesn’t mean that people are going to stop juxtaposing the career numbers of Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady. As what everyone is now aware of, Rodgers and the Packers fell prey […]

The New England Patriots continued their unbeaten streak on Sunday, as Tom Brady and company defeated the Green Bay Packers at home, 31-17.

Outside of probably levitating, there is nothing that Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry can’t do on the basketball court.

Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers will play Sunday in a high profile and much-anticipated matchup with the New England Patriots.
