Although Jackson has just surpassed everyone else on the betting board for the shortest odds to win […]

The Baltimore Ravens put on a show on Christmas Day to defeat the San Francisco 49ers on the road, 33-19, and they did so with a masterful performance on offense and defense. The Niners arguably have the best offense in the entire NFL, but that simply did not look to be the case when they […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers will continue to have Mason Rudolph as their starter for their Week 17 game against the Seattle Seahawks, according to head coach Mike Tomlin (h/t Brooke Pryor of ESPN).

Las Vegas Raiders defensive back Jack Jones tried to set the record straight about a particular moment in Week 16’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. Some thought that he intentionally pranked a kid who was asking for the ball he scored a touchdown with after picking Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, but […]

The Phoenix Suns are stacked with great talent, but it will take more than that for them to win the NBA title. It was a lesson Chimezi Metu learned the hard way during Monday night’s game against the Dallas Mavericks, particularly after he got called out by teammate Devin Booker for not running back on […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have always been a team to watch out for whenever the trade deadline nears, so it’s not surprising to hear the Purple & Gold get linked to players here and there. That being said, Shams Charania of The Athletic dropped a head-turning hint on a potential trade Los Angeles could be […]

Brock Purdy had a nightmarish Christmas Day, as he played so poorly in the San Francisco 49ers’ 33-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday that his MVP odds also took a major stumble over at Bet MGM sportsbook (h/t Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports). Brock Purdy dropped from first to fifth in MVP odds […]

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White has given his team a tremendous boost over their last two games. But he’s proved to be more than just a gift that keeps on giving on the field for Las Vegas amid the absence of star running back Josh Jacobs; he’s also been a generous teammate off […]

Antonio Pierce is not a miracle worker, but he’s definitely doing a great job leading the Las Vegas Raiders as the team’s interim head coach following the dismissal of Josh McDaniels. Pierce has galvanized Las Vegas and even steered the team to a shock 20-14 win at Arrowhead Stadium over the reigning Super Bowl champions […]

Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles finally ended their slump by defeating the New York Giants on the road on Monday, 33-25. While the win snapped their three-game losing skid, the reigning NFC champions still have plenty of issues to address, particularly in terms of ball security and discipline, as underscored by an ugly detail […]

Lamar Jackson showed why he’s one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL today with yet another fantastic performance on Christmas Day against NFC powerhouse San Francisco 49ers. With his dismantling of the Niners’ defense, many were left wondering why other teams did not pursue Jackson that hard in the offseason when he hinted that […]

Los Angeles Laker superstar LeBron James decided to tune into the Christmas Day game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens just after the Purple & Gold suffered a 126-115 home loss to the Boston Celtics, and what he saw from Lamar Jackson and company left him mesmerized. “SHEESH!! BAL IS BALLING 🐦,” […]

The San Francisco 49ers are not having a great Christmas Day on the field Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Making things worse for the Niners is the injury offensive tackle Trent Williams appeared to suffer in the second half, which also forced him to leave the game, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. “49ers’ LT […]

Denver Nuggets big man Nikola Jokic entered Monday’s game against the Golden State Warriors averaging just a little under six free-throw attempts per game. During the game itself, the two-time NBA Most Valuable Player had 18 attempts from the foul line, sinking each one of them. That did not sit well with Warriors head coach […]

The charm of starting Tommy DeVito has seemingly worn off. The New York Giants undrafted rookie was even benched in Week 16’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday for veteran Tyrod Taylor, a decision head coach Brian Daboll explained as a move to “spark” the squad, per Paul Schwartz of The New York Post. […]

It was not that long ago when all of New York was enamored with New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito. On Monday, though, there was barely anything to add to that fascination, as the undrafted rookie quarterback played so poorly against the Philadelphia Eagles that he got benched for veteran and backup Tyrod Taylor. Following […]

Scott Foster seems to have a penchant for the theatrical. Foster showed that at least during one occasion during Monday’s Christmas Day game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics when he delivered the final verdict on a reviewed call on a LeBron James block on Jayson Tatum, per Mark Medina of Sportskeeda. […]

The Seattle Seahawks boosted their chances of earning a spot in the playoffs after scoring a 20-17 win against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. It took a clutch play by the duo of quarterback Geno Smith and tight end Colby Parkinson to tow the Seahawks to the victory, with the two teaming up for the […]

Left tackle Taylor Decker has been playing for the Detroit Lions since he entered the NFL in 2016. In other words, he’s been through a lot, which makes Sunday’s 30-24 win on the road over the Minnesota Vikings so much sweeter. With that victory, Detroit clinched the franchise’s first division title since 1993. It’s quite […]

Nothing that happened Sunday night at Mile High City Stadium changes the fact that the New England Patriots are already out of contention for a playoff spot this season. But what Bailey Zappe did on the field against the Denver Broncos still has Patriots and NFL fans in general buzzing. With Zappe’s poise and nerves […]

New England Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore transformed into a one-man wrecking crew in the second half of Sunday night’s matchup against the Denver Broncos in Mile High City, and it got fans and observers on X (formerly Twitter) absolutely hyped. “Christian Barmore generating instant pressure with the double swipes. Said it earlier this week, […]

The last two games have been tough for Washington Commanders second-year quarterback Sam Howell, but veteran teammate Jacoby Brissett wants the young signal-caller to know that he’s got his back amid the disappointing stretch. Brissett shared some valuable wisdom for Howell following another benching of the latter in Week 16’s 30-28 loss to the New […]

Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Bryce Young isn’t quite there yet, but he flashed the brilliance that made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft during Sunday’s 33-30 home loss to the Green Bay Packers. Even though Young and the Panthers fell prey to Jordan Love and company, the first-year signal-caller excited […]

Nothing is going to break the spirits of Dallas Cowboys star quarterback Dak Prescott. Not even the brutal 22-20 road loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Prescott, during the postgame press conference, issued a confident take on the trust he has in his team, as Dallas continues to find its way out of a […]

The Miami Dolphins turned many doubters into believers on Sunday, as they took down the Dallas Cowboys at home to the tune of a 22-20 score. It was a thrilling victory for Miami, which is a team some still consider as more of a pretender than a contender. Nevertheless, the success against “America’s Team” gave […]

Sunday was not a great time for Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Apart from getting torched by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road, 30-12, the Jags also saw Lawrence leave the contest with an apparent upper-body injury. The short-term status of Lawrence has yet to be ascertained as he’s still scheduled to have […]

Cade Cunningham and the Detroit Pistons are on the verge of hitting a low point no team in the history of the NBA has been to. With their 126-115 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on the road Saturday night, the Pistons have now lost their 26th game in a row, tying the ignominious single-season losing […]

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph had quite a night on Saturday versus the Cincinnati Bengals, as he put together a performance that might have just boosted his chances of securing an NFL contract in the offseason. Playing on a one-year deal with Pittsburgh, Rudolph stepped up in Week 16 and provided the fireworks from under […]

Deontay Wilder did not just take a beating inside the ring on Saturday against Joseph Parker; he’s also getting roasted online, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), with fight fans making fun of his legs, which looked disproportionate to his body size.

Jalen Brunson is very much aware […]

With the collection of talent that they have and the experience of their players, the Lightning simply can’t be counted out. Speaking of players, here are […]

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams is as generous to his teammates as he is unforgiving to opposing defensive backs. His Raiders brothers will likely agree. After all, he apparently gifted them all with Louis Vuittons, Jordans, and Beats, according to Logan Reever. Adams can certainly afford to be so generous, as he’s one of […]

The New York Knicks will likely not have Mitchell Robinson for the rest of the 2023-24 NBA season as revealed by Shams Charania of The Athletic. With New York absorbing such an injury blow, they have reportedly asked the NBA for Disabled Player Exception. “The New York Knicks have applied to the NBA for a […]
