The Los Angeles Dodgers can stand pat the rest of the offseason and they’d still be viewed as big winners of the MLB free agency.

The Kansas City Chiefs haven’t been playing like Super Bowl champions of late. They have lost three of their last four games, putting their resilience and patience to the test.

The Phoenix Suns are stacked with great talent, but it will take more than that for them to win the NBA title.

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 […]

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.

[…]

Following […]

[…]
