The Toronto Blue Jays were just a win away from being crowned World Series champions. Bo Bichette played a huge part in getting the team there. He was among the hits leaders all season long before a PCL injury forced him out of action late in the season. Bichette showed true guts by rushing back […]

There always seem to be plenty of new injuries after each week of NFL action. Thankfully, there weren’t as many season-ending injuries as there were in Week 9. But multiple players suffered injuries that could serious impact them for the rest of the season. The NFL playoffs are now just a few months away. That […]

For years, the San Francisco 49ers have hinged their identity on defense. They have been known for a relentless pass rush, suffocating coverage, and physicality that wore opponents down. On Sunday, though, that identity was nowhere to be found. The Los Angeles Rams came into Levi’s Stadium and exposed every crack in a once-formidable unit. […]

Week 10 was the week of upsets and low-scoring matchups in the noon slate, as only three teams during that grouping of games scored 30-plus points.

Sunday Night Football was supposed to be a chance for the Pittsburgh Steelers to prove they belonged among the AFC’s upper tier. Instead, it turned into one of their most lifeless showings of the season. The Steelers fell flat at home. They lost 25-10 to the Los Angeles Chargers in a game that exposed just […]

The Baltimore Ravens have flipped the script. What once looked like a lost season at 1-5 has suddenly become one of the NFL’s most intriguing redemption stories. With their 27-19 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10, the Ravens made it clear that they’re not done yet. This was a statement of intent from […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have already undergone one of the most dramatic transformations in recent NBA memory. Trading Anthony Davis for Luka Dončić signaled a philosophical shift away from the power-and-defense identity that had defined the Lakers since 2020. Luka’s arrival meant something different entirely: the offense would now run through elite playmaking, perimeter creation, […]

One would think that to come so close yet finish so far is the most heartbreaking thing in professional sports. No one might be more heartbroken over the Toronto Blue Jays’ World Series loss in seven games to the Los Angeles Dodgers than Bo Bichette. Bichette hit what looked like a dagger of a three-run […]

For the New York Giants, heartbreak has become routine. Week 10’s 24-20 loss to the Chicago Bears was another brutal reminder of how far this franchise has fallen from its gritty, disciplined identity. Once again, the Giants held a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter. Once again, they made all the wrong decisions down the […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers entered Week 10 looking to solidify their grip on the NFC South. Instead, they left Raymond James Stadium reeling from a gut-punch loss to one of the AFC’s hottest teams. The 28-23 defeat to the New England Patriots felt like a microcosm of the Bucs’ recurring issues. They had defensive breakdowns, […]

PHOENIX– If you had told Ryan Dunn he would start 44 of his 74 games with the Phoenix Suns during his rookie season, he’d likely be honored and grateful, but not exactly surprised.

The Texas A&M football team posted yet another impressive win on Saturday. The Aggies defeated the Missouri Tigers, 38-17, to advance to 9-0 on the season. Texas A&M remains tied for first in the SEC, with a 6-0 conference mark. The Aggies proved with this win that they are one of the best teams in […]

Following the first 10 games of the 2025-26 NBA season, the Boston Celtics are in the middle of the pack. By many metrics, their start has been average.

MILWAUKEE – As head coach Doc Rivers works to reshape the Milwaukee Bucks back into championship form, one of his top priorities has been sharpening the team’s young guard room to better complement franchise cornerstone Giannis Antetokounmpo, whose future with the team remains uncertain. To do it, Rivers turned to a former floor general he […]

It has been just over a week since the Los Angeles Dodgers won their second straight title by defeating the Blue Jays in a seven-game 2025 World Series.

Though I have covered Fort Valley State fervently this season, today marked my first time attending the Fountain City Classic since I graduated in December 2019; the years since have seen a combination of COVID-19 and work responsibilities keeping me away. This year, my family and I braved the road to Columbus, Georgia, excited to […]

A lot has changed for the Boston Celtics.

While new faces are getting used to being in Boston and learning a new system, the Celtics’ veterans are setting the […]

With Week 10 of the NFL and Fantasy Football season already here, fantasy managers are scrambling to lock-in their starting lineups amidst another slate of bye weeks. The Raiders vs. Broncos 10-7 result on Thursday Night Football was lackluster from a fantasy perspective, so points will have to be made up in other areas. Picking […]

The Atlanta Hawks were expected to be one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference heading into the 2025-26 season. But just like any other team that needs to integrate a few new parts, the Hawks needed time to jell. Alas, time is not a luxury for this Hawks team. They recently lost Trae […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have spent the 2025 season fighting to find their identity. After a chaotic offseason headlined by the George Pickens trade and the blockbuster acquisition of Aaron Rodgers, the franchise now sits at a crossroads. Their defense has rediscovered its swagger, but their offense remains plagued by inconsistency and injuries. Pittsburgh is still […]

The Buffalo Bills didn’t make a splashy move at the 2025 NFL trade deadline, and that might come back to bite them if they don’t address one of the roster’s most obvious weaknesses: the interior defensive line. After standing pat, general manager Brandon Beane needs to strike on the open market, and the best move […]

Cleveland Cavaliers big man Jarrett Allen flat-out dominated the Washington Wizards on the interior Friday night. Up-and-comer Alexandre Sarr and the Wizards frontcourt had no answers for his will on the glass, as Allen corralled 14 rebounds, eight of which were offensive boards that provided Cleveland with second chances in a 148-114 drubbing by the […]

The Washington Commanders entered the 2025 season with high expectations after a surprising 12-5 playoff run the year before. Halfway through this campaign, though, those hopes have evaporated. A mix of injuries, inconsistency, and front-office indecision has left the Commanders in disarray. They currently sit near the bottom of the NFC standings. This year has […]

Through the first week and change of the 2025-26 NBA season, one of the biggest surprises has been the play of the Philadelphia 76ers. Taking the court down Paul George and Jared McCain, with Joel Embiid still working back to full strength, the 76ers ripped off five wins over their first seven games, sitting at […]

The Los Angeles Clippers entered the 2025-26 season with considerable hype. Their team may be old, but their depth seemed much-improved. They brought in Chris Paul and Brook Lopez via free agency, and then they addressed their longstanding need for a more traditionally-sized power forward by trading for John Collins, sending Norman Powell to the […]

For the Dallas Cowboys, the 2025 season has been anything but predictable. What began with the shocking offseason trade of Micah Parsons has spiraled into a turbulent campaign.

DeSean Jackson’s Delaware State Hornets ultimately pulled out a tight victory against Morgan State after a missed field goal in the final seconds, but the 14-12 final score reflected far more than a typical win.

Lexie Hull is certainly no stranger to standing up to adversity.
