If the Denver Broncos are going to resurrect Russell Wilson’s impact after a miserable 2022 season, they are going to need the skill players around him to be at their best.

The St. Louis Cardinals made the right call to salvage their miserable season by trading away players at the 2023 trade deadline.

The San Francisco 49ers are one of the teams in legitimate Super Bowl contention despite the massive uncertainty around their quarterbacks.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are looking to repeat as AFC South champions. They’ve got a very solid young roster in place but recently looked into an addition of a 30-year-old former Pro Bowler: defensive lineman Jadeveon Clowney. Adding Clowney would bolster a Jaguars defense that features young edge rushers Josh Allen and Travon Walker. Doug Pederson’s […]

The Washington Commanders are turning things over to young quarterback Sam Howell for the 2023 season. No one knows exactly how the second-year QB will fare but the organization is hopeful.

The Dodgers have fielded teams under Roberts […]

The Philadelphia Eagles lost their 2023 preseason opener to the Baltimore Ravens by a score of 20-19.

Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid is one of the highest-rated players in NBA 2K24. It’s not shocking at all for the reigning MVP to maintain a high 2k rating.

The Kansas City Chiefs are coming into 2023 with questions about their receiving core.

This could […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates sure do miss Oneil Cruz. The winning vibes from earlier in the season are gone as the team resumes its rebuilding ways and looks to finish out this season with improvements from their key young player.

James Outman is becoming the next great outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 26-year-old has been great in his rookie season, especially as of late for the National League West leaders.

Although the Kansas City Royals comfortably own the second-worst record in all of MLB but remain in good spirits thanks in large part to the presence of Bobby Witt Jr. The budding star shortstop has played very well this season, becoming the face of the team and its rebuilding effort.

The Texas Rangers pulled off some huge trades at the 2023 MLB trade deadline. No deal was bigger than the one that landed them Max Scherzer, the aging star that the New York Mets traded as they take a more future-centric approach to team building. Scherzer has been off to a fine start with the […]

The Baltimore Orioles were previously the talk of baseball for how amazing they have been this season.

Fans of specific basketball teams often say they want Player X locked in a gym to work on Skill Y ahead of a season. It doesn’t take a long surf on the web to see that phrase in use. It will never happen in reality — breaking news, I know — but what if players […]

Michael Lorenzen proved right away why the Philadelphia Phillies were smart to trade for him at the 2023 MB trade deadline.
