With Cooper DeJean out of action with a hamstring injury, Philadelphia Eagles fans paid special attention to first-round pick  Quinyon Mitchell as he made his preseason debut in Vic Fangio’s defense against the Baltimore Ravens.

There was a time in the 1980s when Jesse Ventura was one of the most popular members of the WWE – then the WWF – Universe. He was a championship-caliber in-ring worker, a fantastic talker, and is still widely regarded as the borderline prototype for a color commentator in the booth, especially for ex-wrestlers looking […]

At the same time Phil Mickelson reevaluates his role with LIV Golf, he’s identifying how he can remain “in contention” for majors. Mickelson, 54, has struggled to stay competitive since loudly jumping from the PGA Tour to the disruptive “Golf, But Louder” league (and controversially helping the Saudi-backed enterprise launch with notoriety). Lefty finished 34th […]

When watching the 2024 Paris Olympics, it was hard not to notice that two of the top players on Team USA were members of the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

The New York Jets will try to end their 14-year playoff drought this upcoming season, and it’ll take every player on the 53-man roster to get it done. Cutting the expanded preseason roster to 53 may prove difficult, though, as plenty of players stood out in their first contest against the Washington Commanders. Preseason, of […]

When you tell the story of Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the players who will earn center stage are LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and Joel Embiid… even if the “Process” earned most of his headlines for how well he was conditioned, as opposed to how well he played. Some called him […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are now defending champions for the second straight year. Part of the territory that comes with winning the Super Bowl is that other teams want your players and their championship pedigree. After all, the NFL is a copycat league. Because of that, the Chiefs lost some key contributors in the offseason. […]

When the Cleveland Browns signed Jameis Winston to back up DeShaun Watson in 2024, it caused more than a few fans to scratch their head around NFL circles. Sure, Winston isn’t regarded the same way he was coming out of Florida State, the top player in his draft class who would seemingly lead the Buccaneers […]

The Colorado Avalanche’s biggest concern this season will be their lack of salary cap space. The Avalanche are $5.6 million over the cap with plenty of questions on their roster.

When John Cena publically announced that 2025 would be his last year as a professional wrestler in WWE, fans just had to know wrestlers would start lining up for one more chance to work with “The Champ.” On paper, it makes sense, right?

The Golden State Warriors remain fully committed to Jonathan Kuminga. Though focus centered on the their refusal to include Brandin Podziemski in prospective win-now trade proposals for both Paul George and Lauri Markkanen, the Dubs also elected against making Kuminga available, further evidence there’s steadfast belief in his ability to become the organization’s next star. […]

The only goal Team USA set for the 2024 Olympics in France was to take home their fifth straight gold medal. Disappointment in the 2023 FIBA World Cup after a fourth-place finish prompted LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant to unite and form what many have called this generation’s “Dream Team.” With a roster […]

As the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2024 NFL training camp rolls on, there are good reports and bad coming out of Antonio Pierce’s first preseason as head coach. On the plus side, the defense — which is Pierce’s specialty — has looked great, especially young players like second-year cornerback Jakorian Bennett. However, there are also players who […]

The 2023-24 season for the Calgary Flames looked like it could be a disaster. They started with a 2-6-1 record and all the concerns about the team were becoming real.

Now that Roman Reigns made his return to WWE, he has saved SmackDown. The blue brand was floundering despite new WWE Champion Cody Rhode and the rise of the new Tribal Chief, Solo Sikoa.

The Winnipeg Jets are happy to be in the position they are in. The 2023 offseason looked bleak as the Jets expected to lose Mark Scheifele and Connor Hellebuyck for nothing in free agency. However, both players signed late in the offseason to signal to fans that they were still a contending team. The Jets […]

To say changes have been made to the Golden State Warriors this offseason would be a major understatement and a disservice to what Klay Thompson meant to this franchise.

The point guard hasn’t only made memorable shots during his time with the Golden State Warriors, though. Curry also had […]

The pressure is never off at Ohio State. Especially after three consecutive losses to archrival Michigan.

McCarthy at quarterback and Jim Harbaugh is no longer roaming the sidelines, the advantage […]

The New Orleans Saints are undefeated after squeaking out a last-second 16-14 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. As the final score suggests, it was a sluggish preseason road opener, but all coaches would rather conduct film studies following a win. This is especially true in New Orleans. The Saints have not won back-to-back preseason openers […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the most successful teams in NFL history, but they have struggled mightily in the past five years.
