As we approach the 2024 NFL Draft, there will continue to be endless speculation about what teams are doing and how they will attempt to improve their rosters for not only the upcoming season but the future overall. That includes the Philadelphia Eagles, who have the No. 22 overall selection in this year’s draft. The […]

As we approach the 2024 NFL Draft, there will continue to be endless speculation about what teams are doing and how they will attempt to improve their rosters for not only the upcoming season but the future overall. That includes the Dallas Cowboys, who have the No. 24 overall selection in this year’s draft. The […]

As the Los Angeles Dodgers charge into the early stages of the 2024 season with an 8-4 record, leading the NL West, their powerhouse offense has been nothing short of spectacular, as advertised. But no team is perfect, not even the daunting Dodgers. Leading the league in home runs, runs, and RBI, and ranking third […]

As we inch closer to the 2024 NFL Draft, there will continue to be endless speculation about what teams are doing and how they will attempt to improve their rosters for not only the upcoming season but the future overall. That includes the Atlanta Falcons, who have the No. 8 overall selection in this year’s […]

Not so often do things come together perfectly. After all, nothing or no one is perfect. But then you look at the events of WrestleMania 40 on Sunday night and think — if this wasn’t perfect, it was maybe the closest thing to it. That’s what Cody Rhodes winning the Undisputed WWE Championship over Roman […]

The NFL spotlight has recently been shining on the Houston Texans, thanks to what has been an intriguing offseason on their part so far. This buzz intensified after their trade with the Buffalo Bills for standout wide receiver Stefon Diggs. This move quickly positioned them as a Super Bowl favorite to represent the AFC, implying […]

The Buffalo Bills know all too well what it’s like to have a ready-made championship caliber team. Back in the early 1990s, they had a team built for a dynasty. In fact, they had four attempts at finally hoisting the Lombardi Trophy but failed in every game, losing in four straight Super Bowl appearances. They […]

The Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs will continue their quest for a third consecutive title and their fourth in six years with the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft. Being that they are the champions, they will have to wait until the very last pick, No. 32 overall, to make their first-round selection. But they’re probably […]

Winning three Super Bowl titles in five years, most would think the Kansas City Chiefs would be given anything they wanted, especially from the city they play in. But the NFL’s latest dynasty and its success over the last five years doesn’t seem to be enough to sway voters in Jackson County, the location of […]

The Houston Texans received a major boost to their Super Bowl hopes in 2024 after trading with the Buffalo Bills for wide receiver Stefon Diggs on Wednesday. In fact, before the trade for Diggs their odds to win the Super Bowl were at +2500. Now, they’ve skyrocketed to +1500, per John Ewing at BetMGM. No […]

The Buffalo Bills moved on from Stefon Diggs today, trading the wide receiver to the Houston Texans. The Texans will also receive a 2024 sixth-round pick (No. 189 overall) and a 2025 fifth-round pick, while the Bills will receive a 2025 second-round pick (via the Minnesota Vikings) from Houston. So, what is next for this […]

It’s true that the NFL never truly has an offseason now. That was never more evident than when news broke today that Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs was being traded to the Houston Texans. Stefon Diggs, who will now be playing for his third team in his 10th year in the league, ended his […]

Having the No. 2 overall pick, the Washington Commanders are set to be one of the more interesting teams in the 2024 NFL Draft. It’s likely they stick with an obvious pick, at least as far as position goes, that being a quarterback, choosing between potentially three prospects. But after that, the Commanders will look […]

The Dallas Cowboys have had a fairly quiet offseason. They made little to no movement in free agency, and the only real talk about this team has been about what is to become of Dak Prescott, who enters a contract season looking for an extension. That leaves Cowboys fans waiting for the 2024 NFL Draft […]

The Los Angeles Rams will be in a very unfamiliar spot when the 2024 NFL Draft begins. For the first time since 2016, the Rams will have a first-round pick, selecting at No. 19 overall. The question is, will they keep or trade down for more draft capital? The Rams have about five positions where […]

Thanks to a trade with the Carolina Panthers in last year’s event, the Chicago Bears have the distinct luxury of having the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. That means that unless something severely drastic happens, they’ll be taking USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the first pick. However, that doesn’t mean there […]

It’s all going to come to a head this weekend for WrestleMania 40, with The Bloodline storyline possibly writing its final chapter. On night one of the annual event, Bloodline members Roman Reigns, the reigning WWE Undisputed Universal Champion, and The Rock will face Royal Rumble winner Cody Rhodes and WWE World Champion Seth Rollins. […]

If you’re a team like the San Francisco 49ers, luckily, you don’t have a lot of pressing needs. Which is a good thing considering they’re picking with the No. 31 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. That’s, of course, because of the 49ers winning the NFC Championship and then playing in the Super Bowl […]

With one series and one game into the season, the Atlanta Braves are already off to a hot start, with a current record of 3-1 and the leaders of the NL East division. The Braves once again boast a robust lineup thanks to the likes of last year’s NL MVP Ronald Acuna Jr., not to […]

We’re still a little less than a month away from the 2024 NFL Draft, which means that teams like the Atlanta Falcons still have plenty of time to do their due diligence in planning their draft strategies. The Falcons made some notable free agency moves that should help improve their roster for next season, but […]

As the 2024 MLB season begins, one team stands out as a strong contender to not only win but become repeat winners as World Series champions: the Texas Rangers. If they were to do so, they’d be the first team to win back-to-back World Series titles since the New York Yankees from 1998-2000. Doing something […]

It will be nearly the end of the night before they get to make their first-round pick, but that’s what happens when you’re NFC Champions. Of course, the San Francisco 49ers wish they were picking dead last, that way they would more than likely be the reigning Super Bowl champions. Kyle Shanahan and the team […]

For what seems like the better part of two years now, it’s been said that the No. 1 wide receiver in the 2024 NFL Draft class was going to be Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr. But LSU’s Malik Nabers is doing everything possible to make sure that’s not the case. Outside of this being one […]

The Indianapolis Colts became a bit of a surprise team last season in new head coach Shane Steichen’s first season. They went from 4-12 a season before to 9-8 the next, albeit without their first-round pick in quarterback Anthony Richardson, and just barely missed the playoffs. The Colts will now hope that the 2024 NFL […]

It will be the first time since 2009 that the Seattle Seahawks will be drafting without longtime head coach Pete Carroll, who was more or less politely asked to leave. Those duties will now be left up to new head coach Mike Macdonald and, of course, Seahawks general manager John Schneider. After a 9-8 season, […]

The Los Angeles Rams will have the No. 19 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. For those that don’t remember, Rams fans have had no reason to watch the first day of the draft for quite some time now. But they finally will this year. Going back to trades where the Rams acquired Brandin […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have seemingly done enough of the right things to stay competitive for next season. They were able to hold on to quarterback Baker Mayfield and wide receiver Mike Evans, who were both hitting free agency. With a couple more pieces in free agency, plus their No. 26 overall pick in the […]

After a few notable signings in free agency, the Philadelphia Eagles are now looking forward to the 2024 NFL Draft. If it’s anything like what the Eagles have done over the last two seasons, it’s likely they will be focusing on one side of the ball, that being defense. In 12 of their picks in […]

The Dallas Cowboys have consistently proven themselves as astute drafters, securing impactful talent across various positions in recent years. In fact, their confidence in their drafting prowess is such that they often forego exploring trade or free agency options outside the organization. That has been clearly evident through last year’s trade deadline and this year’s […]

The New York Giants find themselves in an interesting situation in the 2024 NFL Draft. Having a top 10 pick, sitting at No. 6, they realistically have a few options. The question is, what do head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen feel is the biggest need for this team moving forward and […]

The Chicago Bears have become one of, if not the most interesting team in the entire 2024 NFL Draft. That goes back to last year’s draft when they first held the No. 1 overall pick but traded it to a quarterback-needy Carolina Panthers. One part of the trade was that the Panthers gave away their […]

When next season finally begins, the Tennessee Titans will be a completely new football team. They’ll have a new coach and a whole lot of new, different talent than what the previous regime had. Gone will be players Derrick Henry, Ryan Tannehill, and head coach Mike Vrabel; entering will be Tony Pollard, Calvin Ridley, and […]

It remains to be seen what exactly head coach Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos will do in the 2024 NFL Draft, but it’s evident they have a glaring need. The relationship was apparently so tumultuous between the Broncos—mainly Payton—and Russell Wilson, they decided to cut the veteran quarterback and pay him the rest of […]

The Carolina Panthers finished last season as the worst team in the NFL with a 2-15 record. Yet, they don’t have a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Panthers decided to trade their 2024 first-round draft pick (among others) to the Chicago Bears last year to move up to the No. 1 pick […]

As we get closer to the 2024 NFL Draft, there will be endless speculation and mock drafts attempting to predict what the 32 teams will do with their rosters. One of the more interesting teams in this year’s draft will be the New England Patriots, who currently hold the No. 3 overall pick. The Patriots […]

The Atlanta Falcons have already had a very interesting and productive offseason. Through free agency, the Falcons were able to identify and add essential parts to their team that had either been missing for some time or would need to be filled for the 2024 season. They also still have the 2024 NFL Draft ahead […]

It took the Atlanta Braves 26 years to capture a World Series title from their last one back in 1995. The 2021 season for Atlanta turned out to be one that no one thought was imaginable during most of that season. After all, the team finished winning just 88 regular-season games. But since then, the […]

Heading into the 2024 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers have seven picks, only three of which are their own with others acquired through a series of strategic trades. Despite not having a first-round selection due to a pre-draft trade last year with the Chicago Bears, Carolina still has an opportunity to address key needs and […]

The Philadelphia Eagles are hoping that after a strong free agency, coupled with a likewise successful 2024 NFL Draft, they will not only once again be a playoff team next season but also reclaim their NFC East division title that they let slip away towards the end of last year. Although it wasn’t as successful […]
