The […]

The 2021-22 season didn’t go quite as planned for Chelsea. Sure, they’re walking away with two, possibly three trophies, but this was supposed to be the season Thomas Tuchel’s side joined the title race. It’s been an even more tumultuous past couple months, with the sanctions placed on former owner Roman Abramovich completely killing any […]

For the third time in their history, the Cincinnati Bengals came as close as you can get to the promised land, but for the third time in their history they were denied entry. For a team that allowed 55 sacks, even getting to the Super Bowl was remarkable, but let’s not forget that they absolutely […]

The Houston Texans’ rebuild continues. The 2o22 NFL Draft is over, and it was a very successful one for Lovie Smith’s squad. Now they look to the remaining free agents and to cut lists as we push forward.   The Texans still have needs just about everywhere, though a number of positions look a good […]

The New Orleans Saints have had a bumpy offseason to say the least. They lost the man who had guided them since 2006 in Sean Payton on one hand, but on the other, they don’t seem very far off a playoff spot with their current roster. If they can fill their remaining gaps, they should […]

When the final whistle was blown on Wednesday night and the 3-0 triumph of the Seattle Sounders over Pumas UNAM was confirmed to give the Sounders the CONCACAF Champions League trophy, elation cannot even begin to describe the feeling not only within the confines of Lumen Field, but across American soccer. Before this game, it […]

Thanks to the Tyreek Hill trade, the Miami Dolphins came into the draft with the fewest selections of any team in the league, totaling four, and none inside the top 100. Thus, the Dolphins were left with few options to improve the rest of their roster. They also didn’t make any moves during the draft, […]

The Los Angeles Rams were drafting this year from a new and unique position. After finally catching their white whale, Los Angeles has its first Super Bowl title ever.

The NFL Draft is over, and once more the offseason heads into a lull before the beginning of training camp in July. Until then, every improvement has only been made on paper, and the teams only exist in the minds of the staff, the media, and the fans. It’s a rare time when the NFL […]

The first round of the 2022 NFL Draft is complete. 32 players have been selected, the names have been called and hope has sprung up in cities all across the NFL landscape. It was just as wacky as the offseason at large, and there were surprises all the way from Travon Walker to Lewis Cine. […]

With the 8th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons selected Drake London, the wide receiver out of USC.

The New Orleans Saints were a bastion of consistency with Sean Payton at the helm, but now the Payton era is over after 16 years as head coach. Dennis Allen is now the head coach, with Pete Carmichael Jr. finally being given the keys to the offense. Carmichael has been in New Orleans as offensive […]

The San Francisco 49ers are seemingly at a crossroads. Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to be traded before the season starts, and the bombshell of Deebo Samuel’s trade request leaves plenty of questions surrounding their offense. As things stand right now, the 49ers do not hold a first-round pick. But assuming they can trade either or […]

It’s officially draft week, everyone. After the most incredible, fast paced, and bizarre early offseason in recent memory, it’s time to turn down the crazy and just enjoy the 2022 NFL Draft, right?

The Detroit Lions are entering year two of a massive rebuild, and head coach Dan Campbell needs reinforcements just about everywhere.

The Carolina Panthers are at a crossroads. They’re currently still paying Cam Newton and both of his replacements in Teddy Bridgewater and Sam Darnold.

The Houston Texans come into the 2022 NFL Draft with a war chest of draft picks and needs at every position except quarterback and left tackle.

The Tennessee Titans have a little over three weeks until they’re put on the clock with the 26th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, and they’ve got needs to fill.   The Titans, as it stands at the time of writing, have possession of picks 26, 90, 131, 143, 169, 204, and 219. This […]

After the shame and disappointment of that night in Trinidad in 2018, the US has slain its demons and qualified for the 2022 World Cup. The squad looks vastly different too, with only a handful of players having stuck with the USMNT since 2018. This shakeup by the staff clearly paid off, with the USMNT […]

Italians haven’t seen their country play in the World Cup since Brazil in 2014. They haven’t seen a knockout stage game since much earlier than that too, with their last game in that part of the tournament being the 2006 Final, which they won. Sixteen years have passed, and not a second of any knockout […]

On Wednesday, the final World Cup Qualifiers –with the exception of the European qualifying match between Wales and Ukraine which was postponed until June amid the conflict in Ukraine — will take place.

We often think of the World Cup as the greatest stage for the world’s greatest players, however, not every country makes every World Cup. Someone has to miss out, and often, countries with some of the world’s greatest players miss out on qualification for one reason or another. In this specific post, we’ll be looking […]

After a season in which the Tennessee Titans finished 12-5 and claimed the first seed in the AFC Playoffs, but failed to win a single playoff game for the second year in a row, general manager Jon Robinson has quite the task in front of him to improve this roster. The reasons for which aren’t […]

2022 NFL Free Agency has been fairly quiet for the Tennessee Titans, who have made the playoffs in four of the last five seasons, but just because the Titans haven’t signed many players from other teams doesn’t mean general manager Jon Robinson hasn’t been active at all.
