Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis was so pumped up after their 34-10 upset win over the New England Patriots at home last Sunday that he uttered some words that could easily be taken as a burn to his former team. After all, the Patriots decided to let Lewis walk away from them during this […]

Mike D’Antoni and the Houston Rockets have not been very straightforward with regard to what exactly is their deal with Carmelo Anthony. Although the team has already said before that an illness is what’s causing Anthony to miss games — he has missed each of Houston’s last three games — it’s been widely speculated that […]

The Golden State Warriors were a bit shorthanded Tuesday night in their home game against the visiting Atlanta Hawks, which explains why young big man Damian Jones had an extended run on the floor. And though Stephen Curry and DeMarcus were not in uniform for that game due to their respective injuries, they tried to […]

The Houston Rockets’ Carmelo Anthony saga continues with the forward’s future in H-Town still up in the air. Many believe that Anthony is on the verge of getting released by the Rockets, which would be a humiliating exit from the team by the 10-time All-Star. This has put Anthony in an extremely bad light. A […]

Is Le’Veon Bell bound to become a member of either the New York Jets or the Oakland Raiders? Bell has ruled out any possibility of him playing football this season, as he let Tuesday’s deadline for franchise-tagged players to pass without him inking the Pittsburgh Steelers’ franchise tender. Although the Steelers can still keep Bell […]

Hold on, folks. We’re nearing the end zone of this fantasy football season, and waiver wire pickups are more important than ever.

[…]

The Golden State Warriors don’t lose often, but they have already picked up two defeats in a span of three games after falling prey to the Los Angeles Clippers on the road Monday night. The Warriors could’ve escaped from Staples Center with a win, though, if only forward Draymond Green gave them a chance. With […]

C.J. Anderson days as a member of the Carolina Panthers are now over. According to Panthers general manager Marty Hurney, Carolina decided to move on from Anderson thanks in large part to the dominant role of second-year pro Christian McCaffrey in the team’s backfield, which has made Anderson an expendable asset, via the Panthers’ official […]

After a prolonged saga, the Minnesota Timberwolves finally pulled the trigger and traded Jimmy Butler to the Philadelphia 76ers along with Justin Patton last week. In return, the Timberwolves got Robert Covington, Dario Saric, Jerry Bayless, and a future second-round pick. The Sixers, however, weren’t the only team interested in letting some assets go if […]

The Los Angeles Rams managed to bounce back from their Week 9 road loss to the New Orleans Saints by taking down the Seattle Seahawks at home on Sunday, 36-31. However, they can’t be too ecstatic over the win, as they probably had just lost wide receiver Cooper Kupp for the rest of the season. […]

Don’t count out the chances of Dez Bryant playing for the New Orleans Saints next season. That’s one way to interpret the veteran wide receiver’s tweet he sent out recently as a reply to someone insinuating that Bryant should re-sign with New Orleans if he still desires to win a Super Bowl. I am I […]

All eyes are seemingly on Oregon Ducks quarterback Justin Herbert. Well, eyes of the New York Giants at least – including that of Giants general manager Dave Gettleman, who swung by Oregon’s match with the Utah Utes last Saturday in Salt Lake City to have a first-hand look at Herbert. Via Andrew Haubner of USA […]

The Dallas Cowboys are having a rough season with many calling for the firing of head coach Jason Garrett.

Despite owner Art Rooney’s comments on RB Le’Veon Bell, the […]

Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid went buck wild Friday night at home against the Charlotte Hornets, albeit in a 133-132 overtime loss. Despite the team’s setback, the game stands as another proof why the Sixers’ center is regarded as among the best in the league today. Embiid had a field day tearing apart the […]

Markelle Fultz and the Philadelphia 76ers played the Charlotte Hornets at home Friday night, and though the Sixers lost, their fans were at least treated to this display of creativeness and court awareness by point guard Markelle Fultz.

As arguably the most popular team in the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys are always exposed to deafening criticism whenever they struggle. Team owner Jerry Jones is very much aware of his team’s critics, including a former quarterback of the team in the form of Troy Aikman. During a recent appearance on 105.3 The Fan [KRLD-FM], […]

Arizona Cardinals veteran wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has been catching balls and burning opposing defenders in the NFL for 15 seasons. He’s been so good for so long that he’s close to displacing Terrell Owens in second place on the all-time career receiving yards list – a feat he could accomplish as soon as this […]

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco could be in danger of missing Week 11’s matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals at home. According to a report by Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, Flacco has a hurting hip that could prevent him from showing up under center in the coming weeks. Starting quarterback Joe Flacco is dealing with […]

After spending months away from the field, Dez Bryant found a new job when the New Orleans Saints signed him to a one-year contract on Wednesday. He’ll see more time of inactivity, though, after suffering a devastating Achilles injury during practice on Friday. The injury did not just wipe out Bryant’s dreams of playing this […]

Two days after signing a contract with the New Orleans Saints that breathed life into his NFL career, Dez Bryant got victimized by a cruel twist of fate.

Dez Bryant’s 2018 season ended before it could even take off after the New Orleans Saints wide receiver reportedly tore his Achilles during practice on Friday.

The Pittsburgh Steelers steamrolled past the Carolina Panthers Thursday night at home, taking down Cam Newton and company in a comprehensive 52-21 win. It wasn’t all good news for the Steelers, though, as they also saw breakout star James Conner make multiple trips to the medical tent due to a possible concussion. The Steelers labeled […]

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul has been in the NBA for over a decade, but his lengthy experience as a pro baller was not enough to remind him that messing with the referees would almost always result in a whistle being blown – at least during one moment of Thursday’s road game against the […]

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. Bell may be away from the team, but his absence doesn’t mean he’s ignoring the progress of the Steelers while he continues to be a no-show. […]

Regardless of the optics of Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell’s latest actions, his team believes that he will beat next week’s deadline for franchise-tagged players. In a recent appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Steelers owner Art Rooney said that his team is hopeful that Bell will eventually sign the franchise tag tender on or […]

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell has added to his enigma. After recently discovering the powers of tweeting with upside down letters, Bell has now turned to another social media stunt that is getting another wave of attention.

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. In the first quarter of Tuesday’s home game against the visiting Charlotte Hornets, the former NBA Slam Dunk champion proved that he still has enough juice in his […]

If only the Michigan State Spartans showed the same energy Charlotte Hornets rookie and former Spartans star Miles Bridges brought to Tuesday’s meeting with the Atlanta Hawks, then they wouldn’t be down big at the half against the Kansas Jayhawks. Here’s Bridges rising and exploding at the rim for what can be considered as an […]

The Tennessee Titans signed Malcolm Butler to a lucrative five-year $61.25 million deal back in March in hopes of boosting their defense, but so far, the cornerback has been a huge letdown for his team. Nevertheless, Titans head coach said that the team has no plans of reducing Butler’s time on the field, per Mike […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are arguably the best team in the NFL today. The Arizona Cardinals, on the other hand, are among the worst.

Apparently, Week 9 of the 2018 NFL season won’t end without former Dallas Cowboys star Terrell Owens getting paid homage to just like what New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas did to Joe Horn. Tennessee Titans safety Kevin Byard made sure of that on Monday, when he ran to the midfield star at AT&T […]

The next few weeks of the NFL season are going to be extremely crucial for fantasy football owners, so waiver wire pickups are more important now than ever.

If not for the rotten situation that the Oakland Raiders are in, the Denver Broncos could be the ones wallowing in the bottom of the AFC West standings with a 3-6 record after nine weeks of the season. Still, Denver general manager John Elway, who is also the team’s president of football operations, feels more […]

It’s been a while since Bruce Arians last coached in the NFL, but he said that he’s probably going to entertain the idea of mentoring in the pro ranks again if it’s for the Cleveland Browns, per Steve Doerschuk of The Canton Repository.
