As of this writing, Landry Jones is still part of the Pittsburgh Steelers, but head coach Mike Tomlin’s view of the quarterback depth of the team is something that could make Jones feel a little bit insecure about his chances of making the squad’s final 53-man roster. When asked about the how many spots Pittsburgh […]

Given a choice, most NFL head coaches would probably opt to deal with another opposing quarterback than Green Bay Packers gunslinger Aaron Rodgers. That’s not the case with Pittsburgh Steelers sideline boss Mike Tomlin, who said that he’s looking forward to his team sharing the field with Rodgers in this coming Thursday’s preseason matchup at […]

It’s clear that Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson is not a fan of the New England Patriots. Aside from celebrating his team’s Super Bowl all throughout the offseason, Johnson has also spent time publicly expressing his hatred for the Patriots, particularly for New England’s perceived arrogance. Despite Johnson’s loathing for the Pats getting quite […]

Seeing how Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown has become a budding superstar in the NBA today, it shouldn’t need much convincing to believe that he used to be a monster back in his high school days at Joseph Wheeler in Marietta, Georgia. But if anyone needs some form of visual evidence, then here’s Brown posting […]

Well, apparently the NBA offseason has officially peaked. The zenith of basketball boredom has finally been scaled by New York Knicks big man Enes Kanter and Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie, who engaged each other in a social media quarrel between two peripheral players from teams that will most certainly do nothing on the court […]

New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady, the man who has won five Super Bowls in his career and a supermodel as a wife, does seem to be a maniacal perfectionist.

It’s the NBA offseason, so it feels like it’s a good time to just talk about some of the legends of the game. For this piece, let’s look back at that one time when Los Angeles Lakers icon Kobe Bryant predicted that he would score 50 points or more in a game at least one […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is not getting any younger so he could be a bit forgiven for being mawkish lately.

The Atlanta Hawks does not seem to be amused at all by what they believe was a huge omission in a recent social media post.

LiAngelo Ball and LaMelo Ball brought the city of Los Angeles a basketball title before their big brother, Lakers guard Lonzo Ball, even does.

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will continue to enjoy being protected by an offensive line that features seasoned veteran, Donald Penn.

Unfortunately for Drake, beating Quavo in a half-court shooting contest was not part of God’s plan. Just before the duo took the stage on Sunday in Kansas City, Drizzy and Quavo – one-third of the hip-hop group Migos – made a whopping $10,000 bet over a half-court shot. Quavo stepped up to the plate first […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves stocked up on talent last year, but the efforts of their front office went up in flames when they struck out of the first round of the playoffs. Perhaps the smoke from their postseason crash and burn against the Houston Rockets collected in the sky to give Minnesota a sign of things […]

More than anything else, Carmelo Anthony’s top contribution to the Atlanta Hawks is making the team a trivia answer. Sure, Anthony acted as a catalyst for the Hawks to shed point guard Dennis Schroder’s pay off the books, but it also meant they had to buy out the 10-time All-Star’s $25.5 million contract for the […]
