Week 14 of the NFL season is here. With Thanksgiving in the rearview mirror and the final bye week upon us, it’s time for the mad dash for playoff spots, seeding, and draft position. The slate this week starts with possibly the game of the week as NFC North rivals and Super Bowl contenders the […]

The Buffalo Bills dispatched the once-mighty San Francisco 49ers with relative ease in a snowy Week 13 35-10 victory. With that, they became the second team in the NFL to clinch a 2024 playoff berth and the first to clinch its division. So, despite the five remaining weeks of the regular season, it’s fair to […]

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy had an incredible game against his old team, the Denver Broncos. The fifth-year wideout had nine catches for 235 yards and a touchdown in the Browns’ 41-32 loss in the Mile High City. During the game, Jeudy, who requested a trade away from Denver, heard plenty of boos from […]

The Baltimore Ravens lost 24-18 to the Philadelphia Eagles in the best matchup of Week 13.

Rivalry Week got heated as the Ohio State-Michigan game when the Wolverines planted their flag on the OSU logo following the Team Up North’s 13-10 upset of the No. 2 squad in the nation.

It’s not just Week 13 in the NFL this week. It’s Thanksgiving Week! A holiday where we celebrate friends, family, and football with the Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions, New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys (a perfect game to ignore while eating turkey, and the Miami Dolphins vs. the Green Bay Packers to cap the […]

Former NFL quarterback turned ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky will forever be known for his biggest boneheaded play. In Week 5 of the 2018 season, the then-Detroit Lions QB tried running away from Minnesota Vikings legend Jared Allen and ran right out the back of the end zone for a safety. In the Houston Texans’ 2024 […]

The fifth-ranked Indiana Hoosiers have been the darlings of the 2024 college football season but after getting demolished 38-16 by the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes, the team’s undefeated season is officially over. So, now the question is how far will Indiana fall in the College Football Playoff rankings and the AP Top-25 College Football […]

When things are going badly, it’s good to keep a sense of humor about it. That said, now-former New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas probably wishes he wasn’t so on the nose with his joke to interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich about getting fired by owner Woody Johnson. “Jets owner Woody Johnson arrived in […]

The 28-23 Arizona State win over BYU had everything you want in a college football game. There was a big lead, an onside kick, a huge comeback, and plenty of drama and controversy at the end, followed by not one but two field-storming by the Sun Devils faithful. The fun didn’t stop there, though, as […]

The Colorado Buffaloes suffered arguably the biggest upset of the college football Saturday in Week 12, losing 37-21 to the Kansas Jayhawks.

The New York Jets went all in on a 40-year-old quarterback to save their franchise and get them out of the worst playoff drought in professional sports and [checks notes], surprise, it’s not working. New York’s Aaron Rodgers experiment has been a colossal failure through nearly two seasons. The head coach is now gone. The […]

The Arizona Cardinals take on the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12 in a crucial AFC West battle. At 6-4, Kyler Murray and company have just a one-game lead on the rest of the division, and a win vs. Seattle would be a big step toward Arizona’s playoff hopes. And there is good news on the […]

In one of the most iconic moments in NFL history, Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch punctuated his “Beastquake” run by diving backward into the endzone and grabbing his crotch after running through (approximately) 37 players on the New Orleans Saints defense. In the Detroit Lions 52-6 Week 11 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, wide […]

The New York Jets may be 3-8 but at least Aaron Rodgers still has his State Farm commercials! And the new Jets quarterback says he has the best Jets quarterback, “Broadway” Joe Namath, to thank for that. “He was such a transcendent player,” Rodgers told ESPN in an article about how Namath’s iconic pantyhose commercial […]

Current ESPN analyst Rex Ryan was the New York Jets head coach from 2009-14, and with that job now open for 2025, it sounds like the defensive mastermind wants that position again. Ryan is using his platform as a media analyst to push himself forward for the Jets head coach vacancy. While appearing on ESPN […]

NFL Week 12 starts with another division rivalry on Thursday Night Football between the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Browns have nothing left to play for at 2-8, so the best their fans can hope for is that they can ruin the weekend for the supporters of an NFC North rival. And even though […]

U.S. Men’s National Team star Christian Pulisic may play in Italy but his nickname is “Captain America” and he showed why on Monday, leading the USMNT to a 4-2 victory over Jamaica in the second leg of the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal. After he scored the opener, Pulisic hit the viral — yet polarizing — […]

After starting the season at a blazing 7-2 pace, the Washington Commanders have fallen to 7-4 after consecutive losses. Fans and media alike are hypothesizing that this is mostly due to the Jayden Daniels rib injury that has hampered the rookie sensation suffered back in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers. Whether that is true […]

Every NFL offseason, teams around the league fire head coaches and hire new ones.

The Jacksonville Jaguars brutal season keeps getting worse after their 52-6 blowout loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 11. The latest Gabe Davis injury update is that the offseason signing has a knee injury that will keep him out multiple weeks or possibly the entire season. “Jaguars standout WR Gabe Davis, is believed to […]

Aaron Rodgers was bad in the New York Jets’ 28-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Billed as the quarterback savior of a team that hasn’t won the big one since Joe Namath led them there, Rodgers has failed to win more than any other run-of-the-mill Jets QB. And after the Jets-Colts game, Rodgers told reporters […]

The Chicago Bears snatched a defeat from the jaws of victory once again as the Green Bay Packers got out of Week 11 with a dramatic win, blocking a last-second field goal.

The Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight was a massive disappointment for boxing fans who tuned in hoping to catch a glimpse of “The Baddest Man on the Planet.” Although the fight didn’t live up to the hype and Tyson, arguably the most exciting boxer of all time, lost in a snooze fest, “Iron” Mike still won […]

The Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight was the biggest boxing match in years, yet the main event failed miserably to live up to the billing.

The Buffalo Bills got a tough Dalton Kincaid injury update on Friday ahead of their huge AFC showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs.

NFL Week 11 again brings us a riveting Thursday Night Football divisional matchup between bitter longtime rivals, the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles.

The New Orleans Pelicans are off to a slow 3-7 start to the 2024-25 season, and things are getting worse as the latest Zion Williamson injury update is that the 24-year-old superstar will be out for the foreseeable future with a hamstring injury. “New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson suffered a hamstring strain and is […]

Don’t look now, but the bottom-feeding Carolina Panthers might be getting stronger as the season chugs along.

The Florida Gators travel to Austin in Week 11 of the 2024 college football season to take on the No. 5 Texas Longhorns, and this already difficult game seems like it will be even tougher for the visitors after the latest DJ Lagway injury update that suggests it will be Aidan Warner, not Lagway, taking […]

NFL Week 10 kicks off with a stirring Thursday Night Football matchup between AFC North-rival Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals are furiously chasing the Ravens in the division after their patented slow start, and now after both teams hung 41 on their opponents last week, this game should be a banger! So, with […]

The New Orleans Saints finally have their starting quarterback back as Derek Carr is set to play in Week 9 against the Carolina Panthers after sitting out with an oblique injury sustained in Week 5. “Derek Carr is off the injury report and will play,” NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported on Friday.

NFL Week 9 kicks off with a Thursday Night Football matchup between the Houston Texans and New York Jets.
