The Washington Commanders may be in a good spot long-term with a new ownership group, but heading into Week 15 against the Los Angeles Rams, things are not going well on the field for the 4-9 team.

The closer it gets to the end of the 2023 NFL season, the clearer it seems that legendary head coach Bill Belichick, 71, will not be with the New England Patriots in 2024. If this is true, the big question is, where will Belichick go next? The NFL rumor going around now is that Bill […]

Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic was ejected from his team’s 114-106 win over the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday after receiving a technical foul for directing “profane language” at an official.

There is no doubt that Amazon Prime Video and former NBC play-by-play announcer Al Michaels is one of (if not) the best of all time at his job. However, at 79, the man who called the Miracle on Ice is understandably slipping a bit. In fact, he’s slipped so much in the opinion of NBC […]

The Green Bay Packers lost 24-22 in Week 14 on Monday Night Football to the New York Giants, dropping to 6-7 on the season.
