When Ralph Sampson was selected with the No. 1 pick in the 1983 NBA Draft, he was clearly ahead of his time. Nowadays, the former Houston Rockets big man gets compared to San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama due to his unique size and abilities. Despite playing in the league 30 years ago, Sampson believes […]

Love Island, as I’ve often said, is one of the most interesting viewing experiences that I’ve ever had. It was honestly just like a roller coaster. When you were up, you were up with Love Island. It was fun. It was different. You were drawn to the cast members on the show. It aired every […]

Few teams enter the 2025 NFL season with as much swagger and expectation as the Baltimore Ravens. A perennial contender under head coach John Harbaugh, the Ravens have built their reputation on hard-nosed defense, dynamic quarterback play, and a relentless rushing attack.

NHL Free Agency opened on July 1, and while many of the best free agents have new contracts, a few quality players remain. One of those players is Craig Smith.

The fan base remains passionate, especially after they won all three of their preseason games. However, the roster is uneven, and the drama under center guarantees intrigue. If […]

For nearly two decades, Greek basketball has lived in the shadow of its golden generation. The country’s last EuroBasket triumph came in 2005, and the last medal of any kind was a bronze in 2009. Since then, Greece has been a consistent participant, yet always stumbled in the knockout rounds. Quarterfinal exits in 2015, 2017, […]

The Toronto Raptors head into NBA 2K26 with a roster that looks competitive on paper but somehow doesn’t get the proper respect in the ratings department. After a quiet offseason that saw them hold steady while adding rookie forward Collin Murray-Boyles, the Raptors are being painted as a middle-of-the-road team in 2K26. The issue? Several […]

The Miami Heat have always been one of the league’s most fascinating teams: tough, gritty, and never afraid of the underdog label. Yet when the NBA 2K26 ratings dropped, Heat fans were left scratching their heads. After a chaotic 2024-25 season that ended in turmoil and the departure of Jimmy Butler, Miami was expected to […]

Drafting wide receivers has become the single most important decision in fantasy football. With the modern game leaning pass-heavy, the top wideouts often decide who contends and who collapses in your league. However, that also means the cost of missing on a receiver is brutal. A bust at the position can sink your season faster […]

Quarterback is often the position that gives fantasy football managers the most peace of mind. With so many viable starters across the NFL, it feels safe to draft an early-round passer or wait until the later rounds for upside plays. That depth is also deceptive, though. Unlike running backs or wide receivers, a quarterback can […]

For the second time this year, Kenny Pickett has been traded, going from the Super Bowl-winning Philadelphia Eagles to the Cleveland Browns, and now to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick.

The Cincinnati Bengals did it. Sort of. After a long, strange contract dispute, the Bengals agreed to a new deal with Trey Hendrickson. The team appeared deeply uninterested in committing to the veteran defender during a saga that lasted over a year.

Preseason football can often create more noise than clarity. That was quite clear after the Seattle Seahawks’ final preseason game of 2025.

Naturally, critics were […]

The NFL preseason is where narratives are sometimes overblown. For Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, his final preseason outing against the Los Angeles Rams was undeniably rough.

Last year’s Miami Hurricanes team was on the cusp of doing something great. Then the wheels fell off at the end. Led by what became the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Cam Ward turned into an instant sensation, guiding the top offense in the country. But how does a team replace […]

In what will be their third year under Matt Rhule, the 2025 season could be a pivotal one for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Rhule is 12-13 since coming to Lincoln.

Basketball diehards are now counting down the days and weeks rather than months for the return of meaningful games at all levels.

Every NFL team has to trim their roster down to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Aug. 26. The numbers game is cruel in the NFL, and considering teams carry 90 players during the offseason, nearly half of the players fighting for a roster spot won’t make the cut. Undrafted players and low […]

Hall-of-Famer James Worthy is never shy about saying what’s on his mind, especially when it comes to his beloved Los Angeles Lakers.

The release of the NBA 2K26 player ratings is always met with debate, but this year’s numbers for the Memphis Grizzlies go beyond mild disagreement; they’re flat-out wrong.

To keep things simple, the Golden State Warriors and Jonathan Kuminga have made a mess of this offseason. What should have been a straightforward, easy process in restricted free agency has suddenly become a toxic, never-ending scenario that is now set to drag on into September without a clear resolution in sight. Kuminga entered the […]

Over a decade ago, Peter Ames Carlin wrote Bruce, the definitive biography of singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen before The Boss wrote his own memoir.
