The College Football Playoff National Championship is less than a week away. While the college football world awaits for that momentous matchup featuring two future Big Ten conference opponents in the Michigan Wolverines and the Washington Huskies, the transfer portal continues to pop and make headlines. Over 3,000 players have entered the transfer portal and […]

Even though the College Football Playoff is underway and bowl season is just about wrapped up, the transfer portal continues to pop and make headlines. Over 3,000 players have entered the portal this offseason and plenty of those players are big-name and notable players. Another marquee player, Ole Miss running back Quinshon Judkins, just announced […]

Much like there was The Summer of George way back when, the 2024 offseason will be known as the offseason of the Chicago Bears. The Bears have plenty of avenues to improve the team. They have the first overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft thanks to last year’s blockbuster deal with the Carolina Panthers, […]

The 2023 Las Vegas Raiders were a classic case of too little, too late. After a 3-5 start to the season that culminated with the firing of head coach Josh McDaniels after a disastrous Monday Night loss to the Detroit Lions, the Raiders have stabilized and found an identity under interim head coach Antonio Pierce. […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars have been navigating some turbulence the last few weeks. Luckily, they were able to stabilize in Week 17 by crushing the hapless Carolina Panthers 26-0, thanks to a big performance from Travis Etienne. But before that, the Jaguars had lost four straight games and their stranglehold on the AFC South division all […]

The Chicago Bears will be in full control of the 2024 offseason. They are in the most enviable of all positions to be in outside of the team that hoists the Lombardi trophy: they have the first overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft with more picks to boot and already have a quarterback they […]

While the Washington Huskies and their fans in the Pacific Northwest are absolutely enthralled that their team is taking part in the College Football Playoff National Championship on Jan. 8, they won’t be the only ones with a keen eye on that game. The Huskies boast plenty of NFL-caliber talent that has not only stepped […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were far from the betting favorites to win the NFC South entering this season. The Bucs had the longest odds of winning this division before the season, getting +800 odds from sportsbooks like DraftKings and Caesar’s. But as the Buccaneers enter Week 18, they are in control of their destiny in […]

The New York Giants were never able to find their stride in 2023. They began their season with a 40-0 drubbing at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys and things never went right thereafter. They lost their starting left tackle Andrew Thomas in that season opener and he went on to miss the next seven […]

The Sacramento Kings could be a team to watch at the trade deadline. Their blistering offense took the league by storm, but they have yet to fully take off in the 2023-24 season. While they own a solid 17-12 record so far, the Kings also possess a negative point differential. Their -0.3 net rating ranks […]

While the New England Patriots were not regarded as Super Bowl contenders coming into this season, a 4-11 showing a year after winning seven games is not what many had in mind either. But that’s where the Patriots are at in 2023 and in a season where just about everything has gone wrong for them. […]

The Indiana Pacers have been one of the breakout teams of the NBA this season. They forced their way into the NBA national lexicon with Tyrese Haliburton’s sheer brilliance and their success in the In-Season Tournament. But things have been shaky since then. The Pacers are only 3-6 in their last nine games after starting […]

The Detroit Pistons’ season from hell begrudgingly trudges onward. The hapless Pistons are in the midst of a demoralizing and grueling 27-game losing streak, which is the largest losing run in a single season in NBA history. Two more consecutive losses and the Pistons set the NBA record for the longest losing streak ever. The […]

The 2023 season has not been kind to the Arizona Cardinals. While a lot of that was by design (winning was not necessarily a priority for the Cardinals this season) and they entered this season knowing that Kyler Murray would not be fully healthy once the games started, no one likes to go 3-12. But […]

December 15th has come and gone, which means that the majority of players who signed a contract in the offseason have become trade eligible. The remainder of those who haven’t yet become trade eligible become so on January 15th. That means that trade season in the NBA is here and deals should be coming down […]

After a 41-41 season that saw the Atlanta Hawks make the playoffs and push the Boston Celtics to six games in the first round, all eyes were on the Hawks to make a big jump this season. That has not happened yet, and it may not happen at all. The Hawks are 12-18 in their […]

The Russell Wilson experience in Denver has been one with plenty of turbulence along the way. It also might be coming to an end much quicker than anyone anticipated upon his arrival. The Denver Broncos and head coach Sean Payton have benched Wilson for the final two games of this season. There are contractual reasons […]

December 15th has come and gone, meaning that trade season is officially underway in the NBA. While no major moves have been so far save for the Clippers trading for James Harden earlier this season, trade talks surely will begin to commence amongst teams deemed to be buyers and sellers. One team that looks to […]

No matter what happens from here on out, this season has and will be a rollicking success for the Detroit Lions. They clinched their first-ever NFC North division win in franchise history in Week 16 with their 30-24 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Just because the Lions have made history, however, doesn’t mean there still […]

The Philadelphia Eagles avoided a disaster on Christmas with their 33-25 win over the New York Giants. They got solid production from their stars; Jalen Hurts completed 24 of 38 passes for 301 yards and a touchdown. D’Andre Swift ran well on his 20 carries, turning those into 92 yards. AJ Brown was his typical […]

While bowl season is firmly underway in the world of college football, at the moment, all eyes are on the transfer portal. Despite the regular season being over for most teams for just about a month, more and more new names are finding their way into the portal. Over 3,000 players have entered the portal […]

The Carolina Panthers’ 2023 season has been one to forget. Not only do they hold the league’s worst record at 2-12, but Carolina also has the league’s second worst point differential at -142. To make matters worse, the Panthers don’t even have their first-round pick this season after acquiring the No. 1 pick in 2023 […]

Typically, when a new ownership group buys a professional sports franchise, they tend to clean house and start from scratch with their coaching staff and front office personnel. While it isn’t a guaranteed lock the new Washington Commanders ownership group led by Josh Harris and Magic Johnson will look to do that and move on […]

The New York Knicks were dealt a big blow roughly a couple of weeks ago when center Mitchell Robinson suffered a season-ending ankle injury. New York has applied for a Disabled Player Exception, which would grant them $7.8 million to use to sign a veteran for one season or acquire a player with one year […]

The 2023 college football regular season has come to a close and bowl games have officially begun. But until the College Football Playoff gets underway, all eyes are on the transfer portal, which has been busier than ever. Over 3,000 players have entered the portal and there are still more to come. Some big names […]

December 15th marks the unofficial beginning of the NBA trade season. That is when the majority of players signed in free agency become eligible to be traded. January 15th is when the other players signed in free agency become trade eligible. Plenty of teams will be worth watching as potential sellers. For example, the 2-25 […]

Though the Indiana Pacers are in the midst of a four game losing streak, they’ve officially put themselves on the map. Tyrese Haliburton has arrived as a flat-out superstar at the helm of the league’s best offense after his breakout campaign was spotlighted for all to see during the In-Season Tournament. However, their shortcomings were […]

December 15th has come and gone, which means that trade season has officially begun in the NBA. January 15th is when every player signed in free agency becomes trade eligible, but December 15th is when the majority of players signed in free agency become eligible to be traded. Plenty of teams will be worth watching […]

The Major League Baseball hot stove is beginning to sizzle. With Shohei Ohtani, Tyler Glasnow, and Juan Soto off the board to their new destinations, expect more movement from MLB’s biggest stars in the days to come. One of the next stars that could be on the move in a trade is Dylan Cease of […]

Only one team was going to be the lucky one to land former Los Angeles Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani. The crosstown Los Angeles Dodgers were the fortunate ones to acquire the reigning AL MVP, but acquiring Ohtani as well as Tyler Glasnow and Manuel Margot will not guarantee the Dodgers an NL pennant or a […]

The Atlanta Hawks were a team with aspirations of making a leap in 2023-24. They’ve made the playoffs through the play-in tournament in each of the last two seasons, but the expectation during Quin Snyder’s first full season as coach was for the Hawks to advance to the postseason outright. Atlanta has fallen well short […]

The Sacramento Kings and Utah Jazz were surprise winners last season, but are headed in opposite directions as we head into 2024. For that reason, a Lauri Markkanen trade between the two franchises makes a lot of sense. Here is the Kings trade offer they must send to the Jazz for the dynamic forward. The […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars were in cruise control in the AFC South. All of a sudden, however, the top of that division has gotten crowded. The Jags are now tied with the Houston Texans and the Indianapolis Colts for first in the AFC South with 8-6 records after both those teams won this week and the […]

There’s no such thing as an ugly win in the NFL as long as the word win follows the word ugly. With that being said, the Kansas City Chiefs’ 27-17 win over the New England Patriots wasn’t exactly the most inspiring game they’ve ever played. Patrick Mahomes played well; he completed 27 of 37 passes […]

The Washington Commanders suffered yet another defeat in Week 15 at the hands of the Los Angeles Rams. The 28-20 final score makes the game look close, but that would not be rooted in reality. The Rams jumped out to a 20-0 lead in the second quarter and then reestablished a 28-7 lead in the […]

The 2023 College Football regular season has come to a close, and bowl games have officially commenced. But the majority of the sports world is waiting for the College Football Playoff. So for now, the primary focus in the college football world is on the transfer portal. Over 3,000 players have entered the portal, and […]

The 2023 college football season is now officially underway, which means that all eyes will be on the transfer portal between now and when the College Football Playoff kicks off. Players use the portal to make the best decisions for their career, and teams use the portal to reshape and rejuvenate their roster. One team […]

The 2023 college football regular season is now officially in the record books. With that being the case, and the college football playoff more than two weeks away, all attention will now shift over to the transfer portal. Over 3,000 players have entered the portal, allowing teams their pick of the litter as to who […]

Some teams look to reload and retool in the transfer portal, and one of the teams that should be doing just that is the Florida Gators. The Gators finished 2023 with a disappointing 5-7 record, missing a bowl game altogether. For a program that has multiple national titles to its name, that is completely inexcusable. […]
