It’s been nearly 25 years since Eminem and Dr. Dre collaborated on the Grammy Award winning single Forgot About Dre. This track served as a defiant and momentous return for the 34-year-old Dre.

On January 23, 2024, the entire trajectory of the Milwaukee Bucks franchise was altered.

Though the 2024-25 NBA season isn’t even ten days old, the Indiana Pacers and Boston Celtics delivered an early candidate for game of the year on Wednesday night. The defending champions erased a 24-point 3rd quarter deficit, sent the game to overtime, and had a two-point lead with under a minute to go before Pascal […]

If there were any hope that the New York Giants could turn their 2024 season around, it went out the door on Monday night when the G-Men fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers in a primetime showdown. It’s not as if many prognosticators expected a Giants win, but with the loss, New York fell to 2-6 […]

On Sunday Night Football, the Dallas Cowboys let a 10-6 halftime lead slip away and dropped their fourth-consecutive game to the San Francisco 49ers.

The Denver Broncos took the field on Sunday afternoon for their game against the Carolina Panthers as an 11-point favorite, and they walked out with a 14-point win, which means that bettors, fans in Denver, and the entire Broncos organization alike should’ve been pleased with the effort and outcome. However, after the game, it was clear that […]

For the first time in over 20 years, the Colorado football team has been ranked in consecutive seasons, and there are three men who deserve the majority of the credit for this remarkable two-year turnaround. First, head coach Deion Sanders, who through sheer force of personality has built a team that plays with a swagger […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are visiting the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday afternoon, and took a 17-10 lead into the halftime locker room as they look to push their record to a perfect 7-0 in their quest for a three-peat. Despite the 6-0 start, the Chiefs offense has yet to look very Chief-like in 2024. […]

The New York Jets, who came into the season with what seemed like legitimate hopes to contend for a Super Bowl title, have fallen to 2-6 on the season after suffering their fifth consecutive loss, this one to the previously one-win New England Patriots. After the game, wo-time Super Bowl champion and current ESPN analyst Booger […]

The Green Bay Packers survived a late Jacksonville Jaguars rally on Sunday afternoon to escape Duval county with a 30-27 win.

However, […]

When LSU took a 17-7 lead over the Texas A&M Aggies into the halftime locker room on Saturday night, all the signs were pointing to the Tigers scoring a huge road win and leaving the weekend as the only team in the SEC with a perfect in-conference record. After all, per ESPN Research, LSU had […]

At this point, I don’t need to tell you that LeBron James’ presence in the NBA record book is just as frequent as Jay Gatsby’s in The Great Gatsby. So it shouldn’t come as a huge surprise to learn that in the Los Angeles Lakers’ victory over the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night, The King himself put […]

It wasn’t long after Ohio State earned a hard-fought win over the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday afternoon that Buckeyes quarterback Will Howard was already prepared to talk about next Saturday’s game.

The Los Angeles Chargers had an opportunity to improve their record to 4-2 after their bye week, but the inability to punch the ball into the end zone against an Arizona Cardinals defense that is 25th in the NFL in scoring cost Jim Harbaugh’s squad on Monday Night Football last week. It was the exact […]

The official start of the 2024-25 men’s college basketball season is only a little over a week away, and now that enough time has passed since the AP Top 25 preseason poll was released that any reaction couldn’t possibly be misconstrued as an overreaction, it’s time to break down five of the biggest surprises from the […]

The outright lead in the SEC is on the line tonight as the 8th-ranked LSU Tigers head to College Station to take on the 14th-ranked Texas A&M Aggies. LSU and A&M are the only two teams left in the SEC without a loss in conference play, and if those high stakes weren’t enough to get […]

Despite last season’s 9-4 campaign that concluded with a win in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl last December, West Virginia Mountaineers head coach Neal Brown came into the 2024 season on a hotter seat than he would’ve liked. A 3-4 start hasn’t done much to cool it down, and now as Brown prepares his Mountaineers to […]

With the opportunity to earn bowl eligibility for the second straight season under second-year head coach Brent Key, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will have to do so without starting quarterback Haynes King.

Since 2021, the Georgia Bulldogs defense has produced seven 1st Round picks in the NFL Draft and a total of 23 defensive players selected, both highs in that timeframe.

When Lincoln Riley left Oklahoma to become the 30th head coach in the history of the USC football program, it was a move that was met with nearly unanimous approval.

Along with Clemson’s Dabo Swinney and Georgia’s Kirby Smart, North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Mack Brown is one of just three active NCAA coaches who have a National Title to their name.

With the NFL Trade Deadline less than two weeks away, the rumor mill is starting to churn and teams are beginning to position themselves as either buyers or sellers. But that distinction isn’t so clear for every team around the league. Take for example the 3-4 Cincinnati Bengals, who find themselves in a spot where […]

When Derrick Henry signed with the Baltimore Ravens in March on a two-year, $16 million deal, the move was met with a collective “Uh-oh” from the rest of the league. Given how prolific the Ravens rushing attack had been since Lamar Jackson became the team’s starting quarterback midway through the 2018 season, dropping the league’s […]

Ahead of Tuesday night’s season opener against the James Family and the Los Angeles Lakers, Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert signed a three-year, $110 million contract extension, keeping the big Frenchman in the Twin Cities through the 2027-28 season.

UConn Huskies head coach Dan Hurley may not have mentioned the Big Ten by name during Big East Media Day on Wednesday, but if you read between the lines it’s clear that the back-to-back National Championship winning head coach was taking a not-so-subtle shot at the conference that has been called by many as the […]

Just when it looked like the Los Angeles Rams’ 2024 season was going to end up being a throwaway year, Sean McVay’s squad held off the crumbling Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday afternoon, improving their record to 2-4 and keeping hope alive that the season could be saved. With the impending return of former All-Pro […]

Following a win on Sunday afternoon in a Super Bowl rematch with the San Francisco 49ers, the Kansas Chiefs are officially the last team unbeaten team standing, and that means that from now until the point their perfect record is no more, they’ll be the subject of the obligatory, “Can they run the table,” conversations […]

Though it’s only mid-October, it’s doesn’t feel all that premature to say that the Cleveland Browns season is already in the bag. The Browns are 1-6, down to their backup quarterback(s) — who may actually turn out to be better than their previous starter, Deshaun Watson, who is out for the season with a torn […]

On Monday afternoon, the preseason All-American Team for the 2024-25 season, and the six (yes, six) names included on the list should not come as a huge surprise.

In their first chance to avenge a heartbreaking loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII, the San Francisco 49ers squandered that opportunity thanks in large part to a rough outing from third-year quarterback Brock Purdy.
