Josh Dobbs and the Arizona Cardinals started the 2023 season with a loss, as many expected.

The Atlanta Braves have taken the first major step in their march toward the World Series by winning the NL East. The last six division titles have gone to Brian Snitker’s squad.

As the 2023-24 NBA season approaches quickly, James Harden and Damian Lillard are both not where they want to be. They each requested trades from the Philadelphia 76ers and Portland Trail Blazers, respectively, but have yet to get their wishes granted. Both stars demanded the trade with a specific destination in mind, making it harder […]

The Minnesota Twins are on their way to breaking the curse of Bob Nightengale and winning the AL Central. With a 7.5-game lead, they should be able to hang on and take the division title. If Byron Buxton can work his way back from his current knee injury, they will have even more firepower. Buxton’s […]

The Carolina Panthers left Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season with a notable injury to cornerback Jaycee Horn. head coach Frank Reich provided an update on his injury that will not please fans.

The Houston Texans want C.J. Stroud to lead them back into a stretch of winning.

The New York Jets’ win over the Buffalo Bills from Week 1 will go down as one of the most insane Monday Night Football games ever and one of the best wins in recent team history. Arguably no one benefitted more from the game than safety Jordan Whitehead. The Jets had numerous heroes lead them […]

The Buffalo Bills stumbled out of the gates of the 2023 season, losing to the New York Jets in overtime. Josh Allen was the biggest storyline for the Bills for all the wrong reasons: his four turnovers, which gave him the lead in that stat since he entered the NFL in 2018. Allen was thrice […]

The New York Giants didn’t just get their doors blown off in their 2023 season opener against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Las Vegas Raiders have a lot of questions to answer as they enter the 2023 NFL season. The most pressing one is how good new quarterback will Jimmy Garoppolo look in Week 1.

Dillon Brooks said it was Dillon Brooks time in the 2023 FIBA World Cup bronze medal match — and he was right. He performed spectacularly to lead Canada past Team USA and secure the bronze medal.

Is 2023 the true title-or-bust season for the Dallas Cowboys? Team owner/general manager Jerry Jones isn’t saying that.

Josh Jacobs is back and ready to rock with the Las Vegas Raiders after coming to a contract agreement. Jacobs was not happy over being put on the franchise tag. He had a monster 2022 season but was one of three star running backs to not get offered a long-term deal. Now that he and […]

The Kansas City Chiefs started out the 2023 season in shocking fashion: losing on their home field. The Detroit Lions made one of the most cowardly punts in recent memory and lived to tell the tale, winning 21-20. Travis Kelce being a late scratch ended up being a costly blow for Andy Reid’s squad. It […]

If the Philadelphia 76ers are marginally better in the 2023-24 season than they were last year, it’s probably due to new head coach Nick Nurse. The Sixers’ roster is in disarray with the uncertainty surrounding James Harden and the key bench players they failed to find surefire replacements for. They’re hoping Nurse can use the […]
