The Kansas Jayhawks basketball team dropped its seventh game of the season on Tuesday, losing to BYU 76-68. This is the fifth game the team has played without star Kevin McCullar Jr. after he suffered a knee injury in a loss to Kansas State. The Jayhawks also lost to Texas Tech during this stretch, and […]

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson could get a massive contract extension this offseason which would make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, but a paternity lawsuit filed by his ex, Andrea Galea, could take a big chunk of that deal. “NFL star Justin Jefferson is facing a paternity lawsuit in New Jersey, where […]

USC quarterback Caleb Williams is one of the best NFL draft prospects in years. He’s also the first true NIL-era star QB to enter the pros. As such, teams — like the Chicago Bears at No. 1 — are worried that he wants things like an ownership stake in the team he plays for and […]

There are a lot of Justin Jefferson trade rumors swirling around the Minnesota Vikings as the team and superstar wide receiver try to hammer out a long-term contract extension this offseason. That said, general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah says a trade isn’t happening. “Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said ‘a lot of the stuff’ he has heard about the […]

The New York Giants and Saquon Barkley didn’t see eye-to-eye on the running back’s contract last offseason, and the team used the franchise tag on him  before agreeing on a one-year deal. After that debacle, the general consensus was that general manager Joe Schoen wouldn’t tag the star RB again, but at the NFL combine, […]

The Tennessee Titans pick seventh overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, and after putting up a 13-21 record the last two seasons, the team needs help at nearly every position. However, when general manager Ran Carthon spoke at the NFL Combine, he talked about the team’s plans and hinted that their main goal is for […]

There are Caleb Williams rumors swirling that the USC quarterback and presumptive top pick in the 2024 NFL Draft does not want to play for the team drafting first, the Chicago Bears. However, as the NFL combine starts in earnest, Bears general manager Ryan Poles says he’s not worried about that narrative. “Bears GM Ryan […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a lot going on this offseason, starting with re-signing Baker Mayfield. Wide receiver Mike Evans is also a free agent, and the team has already started redoing the roster by cutting veteran Shaq Barrett. As the Bucs offseason rolls on, head coach Todd Bowles is speaking out on all the […]

The Buffalo Bills crashed out of the playoffs this season in a new yet all-too-familiar fashion. Bills Mafia can now add Wide Right II to the original Wide Right, the Music City Miracle, the 13-Seconds Game, and all the other heartbreaking postseason defeats. Still, heading into the 2024 offseason, Bills head coach Sean McDermott is […]

Following the Duke-Wake Forest court storming that injured Blue Devils star Kyle Filipowski, calls are coming from all over the college basketball world for the powers that be to stop this dangerous practice. Duke alum and top college basketball analyst Jay Bilas has an extreme idea to end court storming, which involves arresting everyone who […]

Duke basketball coach Jon Scheyer gave a Kyle Filipowski injury update after the star was injured during a student court storming following Wake Forest earning an 83-79 upset over the Blue Devils on Saturday. More than that, though, Scheyer also took the ACC to task for not preventing a dangerous court-storming like this from happening. […]

Cristiano Ronaldo apparently didn’t like hearing chants for his rival, Lionel Messi, in a Saudi Pro League match between his Al Nassr squad and Al Shabab. Following Al Nassr’s 3-2 win, where the 39-year-old superstar scored a penalty goal, rival supporters were chanting “Messi” at the legendary goal-scorer. That’s when Ronaldo seemingly broke out his […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers can build on a surprisingly good 2023 season with a strong 2024 NFL Draft. The Bucs brought in Baker Mayfield to replace Tom Brady, and believe it or not, it was not the disaster that many thought it would be. If Tampa Bay can bring in a few pieces during the […]

The Carolina Panthers were the worst team in the league in 2023, but they will not pick first in the 2024 NFL Draft. That’s because they traded that pick away to the Chicago Bears last season for the honor of drafting Bryce Young No. 1 overall. That means the only way to improve this offseason […]

The Seattle Seahawks 2024 NFL Draft will be the first since 2010 without Pete Carroll and the first of the Mike Macdonald era. Couple this with the fact that the Seahawks are a borderline playoff team right now — making the postseason in 2022 and missing in 2023 — and this draft becomes crucial to […]

New York Giants offensive tackle Evan Neal was one of the worst players at his position in football. The No. 7 pick of the 2022 NFL draft ranked 80th out of 81 qualified OTs in PFF grades this season. Despite saying he was born to play tackle, his veteran teammate, Justin Pugh, who once switched […]

The Duke Blue Devils basketball team heads towards March Madness as one of the best handful of teams in the country. The Jon Scheyer-led team is 21-5 overall, 12-3 and in first place in the ACC (despite the blowout loss on the North Carolina Tar Heels), and currently a No. 3 seed in the NCAA […]

After years of waiting, the fans at the intersection of college football and video games are finally getting what they’ve long asked for. With the release of the first EA Sports College Football 25 trailer in mid-February, the popular video game (then NCAA Football) that went away in 2013 is finally here. However, questions remained […]

New Alabama football coach Kalen DeBoer is filling out his staff in Tuscaloosa, and he’s bringing in a lot of familiar faces to do so. The latest addition to the Crimson Tide sideline is Mitch Dahlen, who was on the Washington Huskies football staff before this latest move. “Alabama adds analyst who was part of […]

The Las Vegas Raiders have some clearly defined needs in the 2024 NFL Draft, starting with quarterback. Antonio Pierce’s team also needs help on the offensive line, with three starters becoming free agents, and on defense at cornerback and defensive tackle. Due to these needs, the two sneaky good players the Raiders must take in […]

Former Miami Dolphins executive vice president of football operations, Mike Tannenbaum, wants his old team to make a Jaylen Waddle trade. While the deal Tannenbaum floated would improve the Dolphins defense by bringing in Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie, it would also downgrade one of the team’s biggest strengths, its wide receiver corps. “Trent […]

The New York Giants have a lot of needs they can address in the 2024 NFL Draft. In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to name a position they couldn’t take at any pick throughout the proceedings. Unfortunately, their draft position likely disqualifies them from getting one of the Big 3 quarterbacks this year without a massive […]

The New York Giants paid quarterback Daniel Jones last offseason, but after an injury-shortened season, the team is still looking for a franchise QB. While many mock drafts have the top three QBs off the board by the time the Giants pick at six, the latest Daniel Jeremiah mock draft on NFL.com has Heisman-winning signal-caller […]

Former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning may be just as good a craps player at the casino as he was an NFL quarterback. The Super Bowl-winning star made a late-night visit to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, and had a massive stack of chips in front of him during […]

The Buffalo Bills pick at 28 in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, and this selection weekend may be the most important one of the Josh Allen/Sean McDermott/Brandon Beane era. This franchise is capped-out this offseason, and unless they make a blockbuster trade, the only real way to add top-tier talent is in the draft. That […]

New Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde is a lot different than most prominent NFL coaches, as he hails from Middlesex County in England, which is considered a part of Nort London. As such, he is a big fan of that other type of football, and West Ham United is his favorite team. This led […]

We have a Stephen A. Smith injury update from NBA All-Star Weekend. The ESPN firebrand is coaching one of the teams in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, and during practice, Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons hit him with a vicious crossover dribble that may have literally broken Smith’s ankle. “This is not confirmed by Adrian […]

The Atlanta Falcons are under new management, with Raheem Morris as the new head coach and his former Los Angeles Rams colleague Zac Robinson as the offensive coordinator. With a new crew in charge, rumors are heating up that the Falcons will take a quarterback at No. 8 in the NFL Draft despite still having […]

At Thanksgiving, NFL veteran Logan Ryan was on a Disney cruise with his family. Just over two months later, he was playing in the Super Bowl for the San Francisco 49ers with his family watching. Despite his team’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the 33-year-old thought the whole thing was a pretty cool experience, […]

South Carolina football coach Shane Beamer just hired a tight ends coach for the Gamecocks’ upcoming season, which would usually rank fairly low on the news scale, even among diehard SC fans. However, this coach was now-former Georgia State head coach Shawn Elliott, who shockingly left his FBS program in the lurch to take a […]

The Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade was shockingly interrupted on Wednesday afternoon by shots fired. Chaos erupted at the scene and Kansas City police announced that there was gunfire around Union Station, where the parade celebrating the Chiefs’ Super Bowl 58 victory was being held. “Shots have been fired around Union Station. Please leave […]

The Pac-12 may be disbanding, but the bowl games that have deals with the Pac-12 will still host those teams in the college football postseason. This means teams like Colorado, USC, Washington, Oregon, UCLA, and other former Pac-12 football teams will be in the Alamo Bowl, Vegas Bowl, Holiday Bowl, Sun Bowl, LA Bowl, and […]

The Buffalo Bills head into the 2024 offseason with massive salary cap issues. The team is currently projected to be more than $50 million over the cap before the free agency and the draft even start. That means pretty much all the Bills free agent signings this offseason have to be under-the-radar ones. Luckily for […]

New Syracuse head football coach Fran Brown is not wasting time putting his own stamp on the program. In addition to bringing in a slew of high-profile transfers, the latest news is that 2023’s leading receiver, Damien Alford has been dismissed from the team. “Sources: Syracuse has dismissed Damien Alford, who was the school’s leading […]

The Kansas City Chiefs just repeated as Super Bowl champions for the first time in 19 seasons. Now, Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, Travis Kelce, and the rest of the Chiefs will try to make history and become the first-ever three-peat champions. Here is why this won’t happen. Mahomes and the Chiefs are officially a dynasty. […]

After Chip Kelly spurned the UCLA football program to take a job as offensive coordinator for Ohio State, the Bruins have found a replacement. The new UCLA football coach will be a familiar name to the program’s alumni and fans, as former Bruins running back DeShaun Foster will lead the team moving forward. “Sources: UCLA […]

The Seattle Seahawks made an interesting move at defensive coordinator under new head coach Mike Macdonald. They didn’t pick a Texas-raised former NFL player like Aaron Glenn, or a gritty Midwesterner like Mike Zimmer, or even a brainy New England product like Macdonald himself. The Seahawks hired Aden Durde, and Brit who played in NFL […]

Pittsburgh Steelers star TJ Watt lost the NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award to Cleveland Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett. Just ahead of the announcement of the award at the NFL Honors event, Watt took to social media and wrote just five words that show how he thinks he should have been the DPOY. […]

The Los Angeles Lakers couldn’t get Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray at the 2024 NBA Trade Deadline. However, that doesn’t mean the LA franchise won’t take another run at him this offseason. And when they do call the Hawks this summer, they’ll also apparently be asking about Atlanta star Trae Young. “League personnel expect Los […]
