If there’s one thing that Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins can speak about with expert knowledge, it’s about players that are underrated in the NFL.

The Minnesota Vikings surprised many observers when they made wide receiver Jordan Addison of USC their first-round draft pick in the draft last April.

The 2023 season does not have the kind of outlook for the New England Patriots that the team’s voracious fans have come to expect.

Dalvin Cook is still waiting to figure out where he will be employed during the 2023 season. While he has a track record of exceptional success as a running back, he was cut by the Minnesota Vikings during the offseason and he has taken his time to find a new home. For free agent Dalvin […]

As training camps begin throughout the NFL, one of the overarching stories that impact a wide array of teams is the pay discrepancy that running backs are feeling.

Julian Edelman is one of the best and most productive receivers in New England Patriots history.

The Dallas Cowboys were a playoff team last year and won a postseason game when they defeated Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Bucs in the Wild Card game. It was a brilliant day for Dak Prescott as he threw for 305 yards and 4 touchdowns. But that’s where it came to an end, as […]

There’s no aspect of the Chicago Blackhawks franchise that was not impacted by the events of May 8. That was the night of the NHL’s Draft Lottery. The Blackhawks had the third-worst record in the NHL last season, and that meant they had the third-best chance to end up with the No. 1 pick in […]

The Seattle Kraken created one of the most successful stories a second-year expansion team could hope to accomplish during the 2022-23 season.

After falling short in the College Football Playoff and getting upset by TCU, it’s all about reloading at Michigan and putting another dominant team on the field.

The Boston Bruins have been waiting patiently for team captain Patrice Bergeron to make his decision on whether he is going to return to the team in 2023-24 or retire.

Shannon Sharpe decided to opt out of working with Skip Bayless, and former NFL defensive back Richard Sherman is a legitimate candidate to replace him on the Fox broadcast “Undisputed.” Sharpe and Bayless worked together for 7 years before the Hall of Fame tight end decided he wanted to give up the program that featured […]

Tom Brady and Kim Kardashian were at the same party on July 4 in the Hamptons, and while they acknowledged each other’s presence, two sources told People Magazine that they barely talked to each other.
