With the college football transfer portal closed until August, teams like Tennessee football can begin to finally figure out their rosters.

At least until the next window opens, the Tennessee Volunteers football team will have eight incoming transfers, with 12 […]

Before the San Francisco 49ers hoisted the George Halas Trophy, which is what the winners of the NFC Championship Game receive, the narrative was already being written for Kyle Shanahan. Keyboard warriors were looking like linebackers waiting to blitz, with their fingers hovering on the edge as if it were the line of scrimmage just […]

Super Bowl 58 has come to a close, and it perhaps feels a lot like déjà vu. The Kansas City Chiefs have once again claimed an NFL Championship, this time for the second year in a row, beating the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in only the second overtime game in Super Bowl history. "JACKPOT KANSAS […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are once again champions of the NFL, winning Super Bowl 58 by defeating the San Francisco 49ers in what was actually a rematch from four seasons ago.

The 2023 season has barely come to a close with Super Bowl 58 concluding, with the Kansas City Chiefs once again holding the Lombardi Trophy high for the second consecutive year.

Now that Super Bowl 58 is over and another NFL season is in the books, it is never too early to start thinking about next season, starting with who could be in the next year’s big game in New Orleans, LA. Yeah, the easy answers are this year’s winners, the Kansas City Chiefs, who could […]

With the college football transfer portal closed until August 1 of this year, the sport can at least begin to calm down a bit — that is if no more head coaches decide to leave their respective teams. Programs like Mario Cristobal’s Miami football team can now begin to go through their rosters and prepare […]

The Kansas City Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Taylor Swift to fill up their newsfeeds heading into Super Bowl 58. But what do the San Francisco 49ers have? Well, they have the so-called Mr. Irrelevant in their starting quarterback, Brock Purdy. Purdy has been a major talking point leading up to Super Bowl […]

Like with any game, Super Bowl 58 has a lot of intriguing storylines to it, starting on the field and extending well beyond it. Firstly, you obviously have two of the NFL’s best teams this season in the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, both among the most successful teams over the last several […]

The NFL season will conclude this Sunday in Super Bowl 58 when the San Francisco 49ers will clash with the Kansas City Chiefs for the Lombardi Trophy and a chance to live in history. Neither one of these teams is void of past or present history, although it is the Chiefs that have had more […]

Super Bowl 58 is just days away, where the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers will meet in a rematch from the 2019 game. One of those players who played in the previous game is 49ers tight end George Kittle. In Super Bowl 54, Kittle was just in his third year in the NFL […]

With football season concluding soon and the whispers of spring calling, that means baseball season will be right around the corner.

With just days remaining until Super Bowl 58, the NFL season is poised to conclude with the final two teams, the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers. The Chiefs have found themselves in Las Vegas in a rather unconventional manner compared to their previous trips to the Super Bowl. Kansas City had to navigate […]

Wouldn’t it be the most fitting end to the NFL season if Travis Kelce, who has now become a bit of a celebrity beyond the NFL, all thanks to his pop star singer girlfriend, Taylor Swift, were to finish the season with not just a Super Bowl title, but with the Super Bowl MVP trophy? […]

Now that the Atlanta Falcons have locked down their successor to former head coach Arthur Smith in Raheem Morris as the new leading man for the team in 2024, it’s now time to look at the offseason, and that begins with the roster. Putting together the 2024 team starts in the offseason, whether it’s the […]

While the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs are settling in to Las Vegas to prepare themselves for Super Bowl 58, there are 30 other teams that are looking to find a way to get to New Orleans next season, the site of Super Bowl 59. In doing so, those teams will first look […]

Since coming over from the Carolina Panthers in a trade, running back Christian McCaffrey has more than proven his worth and then some since joining the San Francisco 49ers. He’s been the most prolific running back in the game during a time when the position has lost its value and appreciation. Now, McCaffrey could prove […]

One of the most talked-about players coming into Super Bowl 58 is San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy. That’s probably because we know who his counterpart is, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and what he has done in three Super Bowl appearances, winning two of those. Many are wondering if Purdy will be able […]

In his three Super Bowl appearances thus far, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has not only walked away with the Lombardi Trophy in two of those but also with the MVP trophy. Could Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers earn Mahomes yet another ring and MVP crown? Mahomes is already in an elite group […]

If you’re still trying to digest the events of last Friday night’s SmackDown between The Rock, Cody Rhodes, and Roman Reigns, don’t worry; you’re not alone. If you missed it, then maybe it was for your best interest, depending on where your fanhood lies. But most WWE fans were not pleased. Did WWE make a […]

Typically, at this time of year, WWE is in the midst of putting together its biggest event cards to build up to their most prominent one, WrestleMania, upcoming at the beginning of April. Starting with the Royal Rumble, everything will be about building towards the major event that seemingly takes over the wrestling community during […]

Boston College football will be looking for its new head coach now that Jeff Hafley is heading off to become the Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator. The move came a bit out of left field, more so probably for Boston College than anyone else. The four-year head coach had brought in a mild bit of […]

Just when we thought all the madness in college football head coaching had ceased, another shakeup occurs with now former Boston College football head coach Jeff Hafley leaving for the Green Bay Packers. However, he didn’t leave for another head coaching job; he left to be the new defensive coordinator in Green Bay. It’s doubtful […]

There were eight NFL head coaching jobs that came open this season, and now they’re all filled up, giving all 32 teams their head coach for the 2024 season. Out of those eight hirings, the biggest name out of those is Jim Harbaugh coming from the University of Michigan to join the Los Angeles Chargers […]

To say it has been an interesting last week in WWE would be an understatement. Though that’s not unusual this time of year, what has transpired—good and bad—is a lot to digest. Focusing on the good, it would be that Cody Rhodes won his second consecutive Royal Rumble and is moving on to headline WrestleMania […]

The 2024 offseason will start a little earlier for the Baltimore Ravens than they would have liked after their playoff exit in the AFC Championship Game to the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, for head coach John Harbaugh and staff, minus defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald now, the job is about trying to get back to the […]

Back in 2019, Patrick Mahomes was in just his second full year as a starter in the NFL, and the Kansas City Chiefs were hosting Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game. However, Mahomes and the Chiefs fell just short of the Super Bowl that season, while Brady and the […]

To what really should be no surprise, the Kansas City Chiefs are headed to Super Bowl 58 to face the San Francisco 49ers. And of course, coming with them will be their prized quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. How can Patrick Mahomes not be the x-factor for Super Bowl 58? Mahomes will be looking to not only […]

For a second straight season, one of the hottest up-and-coming head coaches in the league is turning down offers. The Detroit Lions’ second-year offensive coordinator, Ben Johnson, is deciding to stay with where he has now called home for the last five seasons, where he originally started as an offensive quality control coach before making […]

Now that the Atlanta Falcons have found their new head coach in former Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, the next moves, minus putting together a staff, are looking at the roster. The roster is going to have a lot of perceived holes just by looking at the list of Falcons set to hit […]

Mike McDaniel’s second season with the Miami Dolphins looked to be a step in the right direction, even if it did have some unexpected bumps in the road. The Dolphins improved by two games in 2023 but unfortunately finished second once again in the AFC East, falling victim once again to the Buffalo Bills. Still, […]

It’s taken four years to do so, but the San Francisco 49ers are headed back to the big game to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 58. Of course, the 49ers’ last Super Bowl appearance back in 2019 was against the Chiefs, and it didn’t go so well for them back then. Will […]

The Kansas City Chiefs will be heading to Super Bowl 58 to take on the San Francisco 49ers. It will be a Super Bowl rematch between the two teams from the 2019 season where the Chiefs dynasty initially started. Little did anyone know that back in 2019, that would be just the beginning of this […]

The Baltimore Ravens and star quarterback Lamar Jackson were sent home packing, albeit from their own stadium, on Sunday as they fell to the Kansas City Chiefs, 17-10 in the AFC Championship Game. But it wasn’t supposed to end like that. No, this was a team that seemed more than destined to right all the […]

It was a story too good to have a fairytale ending. The Detroit Lions fell to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in the NFC Championship Game, 34-31. Detroit will be void of a Super Bowl yet again. Not only will they not be able to claim a Super Bowl title, they won’t be able […]

The Baltimore Ravens had everything going in their favor. They had a top-10 total offense and defense, the presumable MVP of the league, and for the first time, the homefield advantage in the AFC Championship Game. Yet, by the end of the game, the most successful team over the last half-decade, the Kansas City Chiefs, […]

After weeks of interviews and speculation that come with every new head coaching search, the Atlanta Falcons finally settled on Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris. And yes, “settled” seems like the appropriate word for the hire. Over the last couple of weeks, the Falcons were said to have conducted some 14 interviews in […]

It’s not always clear who is the favorite to win the NFL’s MVP award. Sometimes the competition is so great that it comes down to more than just wins and losses and individual stats. It comes down to a significant x-factor that somehow separates one from a field of others. But for Baltimore Ravens’ quarterback […]

Is everyone finished now? Now that Jim Harbaugh has left Michigan for the Los Angeles Chargers and he’s been replaced by offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore, perhaps now the college football head coaching hires will come to a halt. Harbaugh’s retreat back to the NFL, as we know, wasn’t the only major move that shook up […]
