We’re about 23 days away from the NBA trade deadline, and all we have so far are rumors and no real transactions. After Trae Young got dealt to the Wizards, we assumed the floodgates would’ve opened, but so far—nada. Why Do the Lakers Want Isaac Okoro? Per Evan Sidery, the Los Angeles Lakers have “...
The hits just keep coming for the Buffalo Bills. The team’s Wild Card win against the Jacksonville Jaguars proved to be costly to active roster, especially at wide receiver.

Defense has been the bedrock of the Virginia Cavaliers’ program ever since Tony Bennett arrived in Charlottesville over a decade-and-a-half ago. So, it should come as no surprise that, while the shiny new offense has defined the transition to the Ryan Odom era, it’s an uptick in defensive intensity and an emphasis on getting stops […]
The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced they are making an offensive coordinator change; Kevin Patullo will NOT serve in that role next season.

The San Francisco Giants have excellent players in place at three infield positions. They’re looking to upgrade at the fourth. Second base was not a strength for the Giants during the 2025 season. Tyler Fitzgerald came back to Earth after a strong 2024 season, going from a .280/.334/.497 slash line to .217/.278/.327 and striking out […]
The San Francisco 49ers pulled off the biggest upset of Wild Card weekend when they beat the Philadelphia Eagles 23-19.

In case you missed it, the Cowboys are hiring for a defensive coordinator. Matt Eberflus is out after one disappointing year, and candidates have started to emerge.

The Carolina Panthers fought valiantly in a playoff game they probably didn’t even deserve to host, but they came up just a bit short of pulling off an all time upset. With the loss, the season came to an end, and you know what that means. It’s the offseason, which for a lot of fans […]
(Ed. note: the following column contains salty language.) Johnny Lujack and George Connor had never heard language like that. Certainly not from a head football coach.

Whenever any team loses a head coach, it results in massive change. But in the Steelers’ case, it feels especially seismic. He was the longest-tenured head coach […]
