The Buffalo Bills had work to do this offseason heading into the 2024 NFL Draft. A lot of it. No team put as much into last season as Buffalo did. They were deep in the red in regards to the salary cap entering this offseason, which resulted in some tough decisions. The Bills wound up […]

The Bruins beat the Panthers […]

The league’s best defense faced a daunting task on Monday night. Battling with two-time MVP Nikola Jokic, the Minnesota Timberwolves were without their best defender Rudy Gobert against the Denver Nuggets.

The Las Vegas Raiders are building in the right direction. A 5-4 finish to the 2023 season under interim head coach Antonio Pierce was enough for the Raiders to name him the full-time man in charge. But now, they have to keep the momentum going. Las Vegas wanted to find a quarterback with the 13th […]

The college football spring transfer portal is officially closed. One of the more active teams during this cycle was the Miami football team.

So, so many things could have gone wrong during a live comedy roast of a notoriously volatile and competitive NFL superstar like Tom Brady that it’s almost a letdown that only one moment in particular seemed to set him off.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are in for another long summer after being beaten by the Boston Bruins once again in a Game 7.
