During Tuesday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers, something finally happened for the New York Knicks — career 20-point per game scorer Kemba Walker broke out of his shell, leading the team with 19 points in New York’s well-balanced rout of the Sixers, 112-99. Walker had struggled through the first three games of the season, at […]

The Seattle Seahawks put up a fight against the New Orleans Saints but ultimately fell in a 13-10 loss on Monday Night Football.

After Niantic redefined what it meant to “catch ’em all” with Pokemon Go in 2016, the developers have returned with another augmented reality mobile game—Pikmin Bloom. Whether the Pokemon Go craze only lasted a short while in your neighborhood or you still constantly play it, Niantic and Nintendo’s collaborative effort will hopefully make going outside more fun. Set […]

Coming off a deflating loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday, it would be a massive understatement to say that the New York Jets have had a rough go of it this season. In his first season as an NFL head coach, this definitely was not the start Robert Saleh was hoping for. Especially […]

The Philadelphia 76ers took the floor at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night for the second half of a two-game road trip. After picking up a good all-around win against the Thunder in their last game, the same cannot be said for their meeting with the Knicks. New York busted the game open in the second […]

The Green Bay Packers will take on the Arizona Cardinals to begin Week 8 of the NFL season. It’s time to continue our NFL odds series and make a Packers-Cardinals prediction and pick.

Manchester United is reportedly looking for a new manager and Zinedine Zidane remains unfazed about it. Contrary to what most Manchester United fans expected, the return of Cristiano Ronaldo did not put the club in a better position in this season’s title race, especially in the English Premier League. The Red Devils have lost three […]

Multiple factors can be attributed to the Philadelphia 76ers’ loss to the New York Knicks on Tuesday. But there is one glaring storyline from the matchup. It was the first time this season the Sixers looked like they missed Ben Simmons out on the floor. Through their first three games, they did a good job […]

The Las Vegas Raiders had a valiant win in Week 7 over the Philadelphia Eagles to stay afloat over the last two weeks despite their coach Jon Gruden resigning due to off-the-field issues. The Raiders now sit atop the AFC West at 5-2 after their 33-22 victory. Star quarterback Derek Carr had an efficient game, […]

The New Orleans Saints had a great win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7, improving to 4-2 on the season. They won 13-10 and were led by a great defense and timely offensive plays. Seattle lost another tight game without Russell Wilson under center. This helped the Saints hold the Seahawks’ offense under control, […]

The Houston Texans actually played solid defense in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals. That point will be overshadowed, however, when a team scores just five points and gets blown out anyway. There is plenty to process for the Texans, who are certainly a bottom-rung NFL team but aren’t completely bereft of solutions or hope […]

The NBA is only a week into it’s 2021-22 season, but there’s been no shortage of drama around the league.

The Kansas City Chiefs have undoubtedly been the most disappointing team in the NFL this season. The Chiefs should be busy before the NFL trade deadline, but what exactly does this team need? It is obvious that the Chiefs need to add to the team before the trade deadline comes on November 2nd. There have […]

Jared Goff made a big play for the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday in Week 7 of the NFL season. There was just one problem: He plays for the Detroit Lions. Goff’s red-zone interception halted the Lions’ go-ahead touchdown drive and led to a Week 7 defeat against the Rams. Trailing 25-19 late in the […]

We are now about a week into the regular season, and the Philadelphia 76ers have started off the season on a good note. If not for a late-game collapse against the Brooklyn Nets, the Sixers would find themselves sitting comfortably at 3-0.  Even with the minor blemish against Brooklyn, there are still a lot of […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have been hammered by the Raiders before, but on a much bigger stage. This wasn’t Super Bowl XV, but it was a blowout from Las Vegas against the Birds in Week 7. This loss sends the Eagles to 2-5 after Week 7. It will shut down the idea that Philadelphia has a […]

We’re only four games into the 2021-22 season, but Brooklyn Nets star James Harden is not playing up to the lofty standards the perennial MVP candidate has set for himself over the years. Maybe we should not be surprised. While many of us (understandably) focused on the Kyrie Irving vaccination situation, or the potential max […]

The New York Jets somehow defeated the Tennessee Titans earlier this year, but that upset has not carried over into the rest of the season. The New England Patriots crushed Gang Green in Week 7 on Sunday, sending Robert Saleh’s team into a tailspin. This is what rock-bottom feels like. Let’s offer some Jets Week […]

The San Francisco 49ers produced a brilliant early touchdown drive against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday Night Football, and then gradually faded away in the miserable Bay Area weather which visited Levi’s Stadium in Week 7. The 49ers and Seattle Seahawks created one of the NFL’s must-see rivalries several years ago. Now the two teams […]

After Gen.G dismantled Cloud9 (C9) during the Worlds 2021 quarterfinals, the victorious players spilled all about the series.

Meanwhile, Gen.G’s bot lane duo also previewed the […]

Heading to the halfway mark of the 2021 season, the New Orleans Saints have been doing a solid job without a complete roster at the moment.

Looking back a few months, the Philadelphia 76ers found themselves in a predicament no franchise wants to find themselves in. One of their young cornerstones was no longer happy with his situation and had sights set on a change of scenery. All summer, the talk around the basketball community debated on where Ben Simmons might […]

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Clippers blew out the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night, 116-86. The final score somehow didn’t even truly indicate just how dominant Tyronn Lue’s club was in what was their seventh consecutive win over Damian Lillard’s Blazers. Portland turned the ball over 30 times on the night. They also shot […]

One of the early season storylines for the Rockets that nobody saw coming is the chemistry big men Alperen Sengun and Christian Wood have developed together. Not many people thought Sengun and Wood would even share the floor as much as they have so far. Theoretically, they’re both natural centers in the modern NBA and […]

After getting off to a 3-0 start, it’s been anything but smooth sailing for the Carolina Panthers. They seem to have lost their momentum and have had trouble establishing any kind of groove over the past four weeks. Now that they’ve taken a free fall to the bottom of the NFC South, the Panthers find […]

Entering into the 2021 NFL season, it was known that the Detroit Lions would be rebuilding under new head coach Dan Campbell. Seven games into the season and still searching for their first win of the year, it is fair to say that that process has been a bit tougher than expected. While Jared Goff […]

The Los Angeles Rams had a close win over the Detroit Lions to improve to 6-1. It was closer than expected–with a score of 28-19–but Matthew Stafford and Co. took control in the end to take the W. The Lions jumped out to an early lead, but the Rams seized control of the game in […]

The Carolina Panthers went from looking like a surprise playoff contender to falling off a cliff rather quickly.

We’re taking a look at the Panthers-Giants matchup with our Panthers Week 7 takeaways […]

Kyrie Irving has said he does not want to become a distraction for the Brooklyn Nets this season. Well, whatever your point of view on the matter of vaccines and vaccine mandates in New York City, the Nets star has ultimately presented a distraction for his team.
