It’s safe to say that the Russell Wilson/Sean Payton beef still exists. The Seattle Seahawks great and former Denver Broncos quarterback left the Broncos on bad terms after he was benched by Sean Payton with two weeks left in the 2023 regular season. Denver wasn’t mathematically eliminated from the playoffs yet, but reportedly the Broncos […]
A former No. 32 overall pick was among the visitors to Gillette Stadium to begin the week. The New England Patriots hosted defensive backs Lewis Cine, Marcus Banks and Tre Hawkins III for workouts on Tuesday, according to the transaction wire. Cine, 26, was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the first round of the […]
The Spurs had a strong preseason, winning all five of their games. Beyond the results, there were some really encouraging moments from key players who seemed comfortable with their roles and responsibilities. Some, such as those tied to Victor Wembanyama’s outstanding performance, have been widely discussed. Others were less obvious but are nonetheless likely to […]

This was an odd Philadelphia Eagles defensive performance to assess, as it was far from perfect on a down-to-down basis, but full of big plays that swung the game. The defense gave up yardage and made mistakes, yet still created two interceptions, scored a defensive touchdown, and held the Minnesota Vikings to just one touchdown […]
The Utah Jazz enter this season with a lot less question marks than in years past. This offseason, Austin Ainge finally traded Jordan Clarkson, Collin Sexton, and John Collins which has freed up the minutes for their youth to play and develop. It was refreshing to see the Jazz make moves with their team goals […]
Not only does the NBA officially return on Tuesday night, but there is a whole new way to enjoy the action this season! Bleacher Nation Fantasy recently rolled out a revamped app, which includes a new pick’em game where users can win real cash prizes. The reception of this updated DFS game by NFL fans has been amazing, but I genuinely think something like this is best played during the NBA season. BNF will have over 500 picks to make every day across the NBA. It can be something as simple...
The most anticipated season in the last 25 years of New York Knicks basketball is already getting off the rails—on the eve of their opener. Multiple outlets and beat/national reporters confirmed on Tuesday, after the Knicks concluded their last practice before opening day, that two key Knickerbockers will miss Wednesday’s opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers […]
The Houston Rockets are back, ladies and gentlemen! Not just back playing again (that, too), but back in contending status heading into the season. Sure, the Rockets finished second in the Western Conference last season, which measures up as a viable contender (especially in the West) but that wasn’t expected. The Rockets caught everyone by […]
With the bye week coming up for the Seattle Seahawks, head coach Mike Macdonald gave a few injury updates for players, including a few names we have not seen or heard from in a while. Starting defenders Derick Hall, Devon Witherspoon, and Julian Love all should be back after the bye, according to coach Macdonald. […]
BOSTON — The City of Boston has officially proclaimed October 24th as “Jaylen Brown Day” in honor of the Celtics star’s achievements both on and off the court. This past weekend, Brown was presented with the official proclamations delineating the recognition by Massachusetts State Representative Christopher Worrell and Boston’s Chief of Economic Opportunity and Inclusion, […]
Shout out to Keith on Twitter for asking for a new Lounge. Here’s the old one. The Mavericks play tomorrow and then they play a whole heck of a lot of games in a short period of time, but at least they’re all at home. How’s this lounge format working? Are our regular commenters here […]
If someone told you a month ago that Joel Embiid would be suiting up for the opener in Boston against the Celtics, you’d have called them crazy. But here we are, the day before opening night, and the 2022-23 MVP is not listed on the injury report, meaning the big fella should take the floor. […]
It started with Nike and the NBA, then it made its way to the MLB, and now the trend is commencing at the college football ranks — City Edition uniforms. These alternate uniforms don’t traditionally utilize team colors but rather incorporate elements of the city the team plays in. The Tulane Green Wave unveiled their City […]

The J.J. McCarthy situation continues to be weird. McCarthy, whom the Minnesota Vikings traded up to select in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, is set to miss his fifth consecutive game because of an ankle injury. The University of Michigan product suffered an ankle injury in the team’s Week 2 win against the Atlanta Falcons. However, there is a belief in some circles that McCarthy’s injury is actually an excuse for a soft benching. And while I do not dabble in conspiracy theories, ...

For many people, myself included, the NBA on NBC represents the first era of NBA basketball they were alive for. To be clear, while there was a stint from 1954-62 in which the NBA was on NBC, the 1990-2002 run is a run that an entire generation of NBA fans grew up with. Of course, […]
I guess NBC couldn’t wait any longer to celebrate its official return to the NBA universe! With hours to go before the meeting between the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder, the network released what appears to be its opening for tonight’s broadcast. It will be the first NBA game televised on their airwaves in two decades, so they fittingly called upon some familiar faces to help them usher in a new era. The intro sequence starts with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander trying to answer ...
It’s great to be (almost) back. Seven months ago, UNC Wilmington toppled Delaware in our nation’s capital, punching its ticket to the NCAA Tournament as the CAA’s automatic representative. The Seahawks put on a hell of a show once they hit the national stage, going blow for blow with Texas Tech before a late flurry […]
