“Play ‘Like a Rolling Stone!’” one Bob Dylan fan repeatedly yelled during his 2025 Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour finale in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The plea for Dylan’s signature song didn’t stop there. It lasted from him crooning “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” to “I’ve Made Up My Mind to Give Myself to You,” going […]

The NFL Draft can make or break a franchise. Clubs evaluate prospects with the belief that they are choosing players who can become stars and help their team win championships. Teams don’t always get it right, though. For every great draft choice or draft day steal, there is a draft bust who doesn’t pan out […]

The 2025 NFL Draft is right around the corner, but it isn’t yet set in stone who will go first overall. The Tennessee Titans have the number one pick, and they’ve turned over every stone leading up to what will be one of the most important decisions in franchise history. At one point, reports suggested […]

A unique franchise — in a part of the country where Jazz and Cajun cooking rule — the New Orleans Saints languished in anonymity for many years. They won a Super Bowl with a star quarterback in 2009, but these days aren’t considered title contenders. But maybe hiring Kellen Moore to be the Saints’ new […]

The NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award is annually given to the most outstanding defensive player of the regular season. Throughout league history, several Hall of Famers have claimed the award.

It’s a little tricky to rank the 10 greatest Tennessee Titans of all time. Does that mean the ones who played in Tennessee, or does it include the Houston Oilers’ days? For this exercise — gotta keep stretching those NFL muscles in the summer time! — we’ll include the guys from Houston, too. Houston won […]

The Houston Texans became the newest NFL team when they were enfranchised in 2002. The Texans are just over two decades old, and they struggled mightily in their first few years in the league.

It hasn’t been much fun for the Washington Commanders’ fans over the last, oh, three decades or so.

But new owners have taken over, they drafted a new quarterback with the No. 2 […]

The Green Bay Packers joined the NFL in only its second season of existence back in 1921. This was even one year before the league was officially called the NFL, as it was coined the American Professional Football League at the time. The point is that Green Bay has been there from the start. During […]

This year’s NBA Sixth Man of the Year race is looking stacked. The Boston Celtics’ Payton Pritchard currently leads the way.

Thanks to Tom Brady in recent years and the Tampa 2 defense a few years back, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are among just six teams with multiple Super Bowl wins in the 21st century. This recent success is well-deserved for Bucs fans after the team could hardly put together a winning season for the first […]

The Minnesota Vikings had four opportunities early in the Super Bowl era to win professional football’s championship. They failed in all four of those games — against the Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Oakland Raiders — and have too often been close to making another appearance but painfully failing to reach it […]

The Denver Broncos have struggled for the better part of a decade now, so fans can be quick to forget how great they were for so long.

As the Arizona Cardinals prepare for the 2025 NFL Draft, it is time to examine the team’s long and compelling history.

But the team itself dates back to 1898 — making it the oldest continuously operating pro football franchise […]

The Seattle Seahawks have not been around as long as some of the NFL’s franchises. However, they’ve still produced a ton of amazing players and have achieved success that some teams have never accomplished. Seattle played their first NFL season in 1976.

Many NFL fans and analysts consider the San Francisco 49ers to be the greatest team in league history. The team is tied for second in both Super Bowl wins (five) and appearances (eight).

It’s not a stretch to say that in the 100-plus year history of the National Football League, no team has a richer history than that of the Chicago Bears. Now sure, the Bears’ lone Super Bowl win doesn’t stack up to the totals of franchises like the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers (six each), […]

It’s hard to believe nowadays, but the New York Jets have been championship contenders on multiple occasions. There was the “New York Sack Exchange” team in the 1980s, Hall of Fame coach Bill Parcels’ upstart 1998 squad, Rex Ryan’s back-to-back AFC Championship Game teams in 2009-10, and the franchise’s one and only Super Bowl-winning 1968 […]

Very few filmmakers have the resume that Ryan Coogler has, who continues his hot streak with his vampire horror movie Sinners, starring Michael B. Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld. With its grandiose scale akin to a Christopher Nolan film, Coogler goes in on his subject matter with the precision of Jordan Peele. Comparisons are obvious, but […]

The arrival of Tom Brady in New England during the 2000 NFL Draft represented a major change for the New England Patriots. Prior to that, they had been a team that had largely struggled from their inception, although they had a few memorable teams and years. However, the Brady arrival signaled the start of the […]

For nearly their first 40 years, the Pittsburgh Steelers were not a good football team. From the team’s inception in 1933 until 1972, the franchise did not win a playoff game and had only one postseason trip during that stretch. Then, in 1969, the Rooney family hired Chuck Noll, who helped transform this floundering franchise […]

Despite their recent sign-stealing scandal, the Houston Astros have stuck around as one of the top teams in the MLB, and recently proved that they won’t be defined by that scandal by winning the 2022 World Series. The Astros have a lot of great players on their team currently, but who are the greatest Astros […]

The Chicago White Sox are in a down period in their history. Last season, they set the record for the most losses in a season in the modern era. The modern era started in 1901, and the White Sox started using that name just a few years later, in 1904. Prior to that, they were […]

Nikola Jokic is continuing to silence his doubters with his record-breaking performances.

The Seattle Mariners may never have won a World Series or even made it to the World Series for that matter, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t had any great players suit up for them throughout the history of their franchise. While they have had a lot of good players, it’s fair to wonder who […]
