USC football scraped by Arizona in triple overtime on Saturday night to stay undefeated and improve to 6-0. The win wasn’t pretty by any means, and there were a whole lot of ways the Trojans could have lost this game instead. Caleb Williams played one of the worst games of his career, although he still […]

It’s always easy to look at the events of a football game after the fact and decide what a team should have done. In this case, however, anybody watching the Miami football game against Georgia Tech on Saturday knew the Hurricanes should have taken a knee with 34 seconds left on the clock and a three […]

The 2023 NFL Trade Deadline is less than four weeks away. The 3-1 Miami Dolphins have four games before the deadline, while many teams have just three. That may seem far away, but these are critical weeks for teams to decide if they will become sellers or buyers after the first two months of the […]

The San Francisco 49ers made a splash Friday with the addition of Randy Gregory. The Denver Broncos were reportedly ready to release Gregory, but decided to test the waters in the trade market.

Joey Votto has reached the end of his guaranteed contract with the Cincinnati Reds. Is this the end of the road for the former NL MVP? The Reds have the option to pick up the final year of his contract for $20 million, but they seem likely to pay a $7 million buyout instead. Despite […]

No. 9 USC football hosts Arizona on Saturday night in Los Angeles. The Wildcats enter the week 3-2 after a narrow loss to Washington.

The Dallas Cowboys head to the Bay to take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football. “Undisputed” television personalities Skip Bayless and Michael Irvin have the Cowboys pulling off the upset in this NFC rivalry. Surely, there’s no bias here. Bayless is just the biggest Cowboys fan on sports television and Irvin spent […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers host the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, in 2023’s first edition of this classic AFC North rivalry. Steelers CB Patrick Peterson said the Pittsburgh secondary’s primary job is containing Ravens WR Zay Flowers. “He’s very shifty, very, very fast. He can get behind the defense. He’s kind of like the guy that can […]

Though it’s his fourth NFL season, Jordan Love is just four games into his career as the QB1 of the Green Bay Packers. Love has played well at times, and not so well at others. His completion percentage of 56.1% actually ranks last among NFL quarterbacks. Only four others are below 60%. Packers head coach […]

The San Francisco 49ers host the NFC rival Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night in a highly-anticipated matchup. The 49ers knocked the Cowboys out of the playoffs in each of the past two postseasons.

No. 1 Georgia football hosts No. 20 Kentucky in Athens on Saturday. These are the top two teams in an otherwise very-winnable SEC East.

We’re now four games into the careers of top 2023 draft picks Bryce Young and CJ Stroud.

An offensive line led by future Hall of Famers Zack Martin and Tyron Smith has been the heart and soul of the Dallas Cowboys for the better part of the last decade. The problem is the big guys up front have struggled to stay healthy. Now, for the first time since 2021, the Cowboys finally […]

No. 12 Oklahoma football takes on No. 3 Texas on Saturday in the 119th edition of the Red River Rivalry, hosted at the original Cotton Bowl in Dallas. These are the only two ranked teams in the Big 12, and both are undefeated. This is a revenge game for Brent Venables and the Sooners after […]

The Utah football team needs its leader back on the field sooner rather than later. QB Cam Rising still has yet to play in 2023 after tearing his ACL in last year’s Rose Bowl. The Utes have held their own in Rising’s absence, starting 4-0 and picking up impressive wins over Florida and UCLA. Their […]

The Carolina Panthers reportedly want to add a starting-caliber wide receiver to help Bryce Young with his transition to the NFL.

To acquire the Chicago Bears’ No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Carolina surrendered […]

Five games into the USC football season, Lincoln Riley and his staff are considering the option of redshirting former five-star defensive lineman Korey Foreman, according to Antonio Morales.

The NFL Trade Deadline is Oct. 31. The 1-3 Las Vegas Raiders have four opponents left before then: the Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions.

Could Aaron Rodgers actually return to the field for the New York Jets before the season is over? The veteran quarterback remains insistent that he can achieve the impossible.

The Seattle Seahawks trounced the New York Giants 24-3 on Monday Night Football, but it didn’t come without cost.

Pete Carroll had an encouraging postgame update […]

The New York Giants dropped to 1-3 after Monday night’s humiliating 24-3 rout by the Seattle Seahawks.

Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard left the door open to playing for Team USA in the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

The Nebraska football season — and the Matt Rhule era — is not off to the start Cornhuskers’ fans were hoping for. The team is 2-3 after Week 5, and the Nebraska offense has been far from inspiring. Out of 133 FBS teams, the Cornhusker are 127th in passing yards and tied for 122nd in […]

The Phoenix Suns have one of the highest-ceiling duos in the NBA between Kevin Durant and Devin Booker.

Matt Leinart is USC football royalty in his own right. A two-time National Champion and a Heisman Trophy winner, he was probably the best quarterback to ever don the cardinal and gold. Until now. But Leinart had even higher praise for Caleb Williams than the greatest of Trojan quarterbacks. On the set of “Speak” live […]

Future NFL Hall of Famer Rob Gronkowski believes Kirk Cousins is nearing the end of his time with the Minnesota Vikings. The 0-3 Vikings face the Carolina Panthers, who are also 0-3, on Sunday.
