Tragic news broke the sports world Saturday morning. Pittsburgh Steeler, and former Washington quarterback, Dwayne Haskins Jr, tragically passed away after being struck by a dump truck the morning of April 9th down in South Florida. Haskins was down in Florida with about a dozen other Steelers' teammates including other Steelers' QB Mitchell Trubisky, who had invited Dwayne. This was a trip with...

The Saints Peter's Peacocks entered March Madness as the fifteenth seed in the East. The Peacocks finished the season second in the Metro Atlantic conference with an overall record of 22-12, only behind the Iona Gaels (25-8). While Saint Peter's made the NCAA tournament, Iona however, did not due to them going one and done in the MAAC tournament, as were upset by the in-conference ninth seeded Rider...

Super Bowl 56 was played on Sunday, February 13th at 6:30pm located at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. It featured the NFC's champion in the Los Angeles Rams, and the AFC's champion in the Cincinnati Bengals. For the second year in NFL history, the Super Bowl featured a home team as SoFi is the Rams' home stadium. But there was a sizable amount of Bengals' fans who made the trip to se...

Joey B, Joe Burrow, Joe Cool, Joe Shiesty, Joe Brrr, whatever you call him, has done the improbable and brought the Cincinnati Bengals back to the Super Bowl after thirty-three years. At the beginning of the season, the Bengals Super Bowl odds ranged from 75 to 200-1, but they defied all that, first winning the AFC North, following that up with taking down the Raiders, 1-seeded Titans, and most recentl...

We just witnessed one of the best games in NFL history. In one of the greatest weekends of football, one of the games had to stand out above the rest. The first three matchups in the 2022 NFL playoff Divisional round were all tied games with four seconds left in regulation decided by game winning field goals as time expired. Rookie kicker Evan McPherson drained a fifty-two yard field goal...

The Eagles were frauds, and teams who got the new seventh seed in the playoffs are now 0-4, and three of those four games were blowouts. Philly snuck into the playoffs with a 9-8 record getting the seventh seed in the NFC, riding a cake-walk schedule into the playoffs. Tampa Bay grabbed the second seed in the NFC. Going into the game were still down a couple key players including wide receiver...

The NFL world can rejoice. The Bills have kept the New England Patriots from winning the AFC East once again. This time it was a much closer call than last year, with the two rivals with matching records going into Week 18. New England just had to hope the Jets would play spoiler and upset Buffalo, and the Pats just needed to take care of Miami. Well neither things happened as Miami dropped...

The mustache has returned! With Jalen Hurts being ruled out of the game, the next man up for the Eagles was the legendary mustache supporting, Duval QB, Gardner Minshew II. As for New York, rookie second overall pick, Zach Wilson makes his return after suffering a PCL injury in late October. Both teams look to be in rebuilding years, but Philly actually has a shot at the playoffs, and a win...

Well that was a punch in the gut for the Eagles and their fans. The Eagles, with a chance to get ahead in the race for the postseason, in a seemingly almost certain victorious matchup against the struggling and injured New York Giants, did not go as planned. After a dominating win over the Saints, with a three rushing TD performance by Jalen Hurts, people were looking at the team as playoff bound,...

Back-to-back wins for the Philadelphia Eagles. After handling the Denver Broncos the week prior, they hosted the New Orleans Saints who lost a close one last week against the Titans, and were still playing very well despite losing Jameis Winston for the season a few weeks back. This week the Saints showed once again they are still mighty inconsistent as their defense was not ready for the Eagles'...

The Broncos looked to sweep the NFC East, and only the Eagles stood in their way, and after blowing out Dallas the week prior, it looked very doable. Those hopes ended as the Broncos turned into last weeks' Dallas, and Philly throttled Teddy B and a very hot and cold Denver team in Week 10 at Mile High. Quarter 1: On the second play of the game, Sirianni continues to use the run game more an...

A hard fought battle by the Eagles falls short in the final seconds of their Week 9 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers, who were looking like a top team in the league, had been struggling the last couple weeks, losing their last two games against the Ravens and the Patriots. They also feature one of the worst run defenses in the National Football League as Lamar Jackson and Damien...

1995 was the last time the Atlanta Braves won a World Series title in which they bested the Cleveland Indians. Ever since, it has been a rough go for the Braves, as well as other Atlanta sports teams, as they have become known for choking games by blowing big leads. Some of those choked games include, the 28-3 blown lead by the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI, and Georgia Bulldogs blown 3rd quarter...

Eagles fans rejoice. Good things happen when your team runs the ball efficiently and consistently. The Eagles had a lot of doubters that they would be capable of beating the 0-7 Detroit Lions as the Lions have been quite literally the best 0-7 team ever. They most recently put up a close game against the Matthew Stafford led Los Angeles Rams, and playing a below average Eagles team seemed to...

As the NBA season kicked off in late October, the 76ers look to take the next step this season. After an ugly playoff exit at the hands of the underdog Atlanta Hawks, the Sixers need to rebound back from the loss. Ben Simmons had become a liability and was a big reason why the team struggled, and the entire offseason news surrounding the team had to mainly do with Simmons on if they would look to...

There was probably some hope in Philly that their birds would lead them to a victory this week, and can you blame them? They faced the Las Vegas Raiders, who just two week ago, had their head coach, Jon Gruden, resign after offensive emails between him and Washington's former general manager, Bruce Allen, were leaked, among other things, forcing the man who the Raiders had handed a decade long $100...

It's not everyday that high school students get a chance to meet a former Super Bowl winning player, but that's what the students at Boyertown Area High School got the opportunity to do. James Develin attended Boyertown Senior High, and was a defensive lineman for the football team. After graduation, he enrolled in Brown University located in Providence, Rhode Island. He continued his football career...

First off, I would like to thank Bucs running back Leonard Fournette for balling out last night and getting me twenty-seven fantasy points. After pulling off the upset last week against the Carolina Panthers, Philly could not bring down the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite Tampa's banged up secondary, the Eagles struggled to pass the ball with a combination of poor...

The Homecoming Pink Out football game is usually always the biggest game of any sports team's regular season, at least here at BASH. Tons of BASH students filled the student section, all repping their Pink Out wear, as it is also Breast Cancer Awareness month, and other students and parents alike, fill the rest of the stands supporting their high school football team. Unfortunately for BASH students,...

Coming into Carolina, the Eagles are desperate for a second win, and the Panthers look to bounce back after suffering their first loss of the season the week prior. The identity of what Jalen Hurts really is at QB remains unknown, and Sam Darnold continues to revive his career after leaving the Jets, and before this week, led the NFL in rushing touchdowns with five. As the Carolina Panthers would...

Another week, another 40+ points allowed by the defense. The Eagles faced the 1-2 Kansas City Chiefs. Don't let their record fool you, they are still a very very good football team. Rebounding from a rough start, going 0-2 in their last two games, they came into Philly hungry for a W, and that is exactly what they got, outscoring the Eagles 42-30, as Jalen Hurts and the offense could not keep up...

As the NFL season concludes week three, there remain a handful of teams left undefeated, and riding high. The Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals are both 3-0, and at the top of the NFC West. Along the west as well, in the AFC, the Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders surprisingly lead the division over the Chiefs, who are dead last, and the Chargers. Lastly, the Carolina Panthers lead...

Ever since that week one blowout victory over the Falcons, the Eagles have not been flying so high. In an always critical, and rivalry fueled battle against the hated Dallas Cowboys, potential Comeback Player of the Year candidate, quarterback Dak Prescott, welcomed young QB Jalen Hurts and his 1-1 Philly Eagles into AT&T Stadium. The two teams and fan bases go way back, as the heated rivalry...

Time for Eagles' fans to come back down to earth. Riding high off of a season opener blowout win against the Atlanta Falcons, and Jalen Hurts' jersey sales going through the roof,  Philly played their home opener against Jimmy Garoppolo and the San Francisco 49ers, and in an overall uneventful and low scoring affair, the Eagles found themselves getting handed their first loss of the 2021 season. Quarter 1: Bot...

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of going to the Los Angeles Chargers @ Washington Football Team game on Sunday September 12th @1:00pm at Fedex Field located in Greater Landover, Maryland. Experiencing an NFL game live and in person is miles better than sitting on your couch watching it at home. I just thought I'd share my first experience of this new atmosphere of physically being at the game,...

What a way to start off the NFL season for the Philadelphia Eagles! A good portion of Eagles' fans have gone into this season with the mindset that this is a rebuilding year. With a young, inexperienced quarterback in Jalen Hurts, and a rookie head coach in Nick Sirianni, and while it very much may still be that, in a game that was expected to be close between two bottom-tier teams, Philly stood...

What a way to kick off the NFL 2021 season. The Buccaneers and Cowboys battled it out through the whole game, neither team letting up, and they kept going till the clock hit zeros. One of the main stories going into the game was about Cowboys' quarterback Dak Prescott. Dak suffered a gruesome, season-ending ankle injury in Week 5 of last season against the New York Giants. Since then, he has been...

Under the Friday night lights at Boyertown Senior High's Memorial Stadium, the Bears welcomed the Exeter Eagles into their home stadium on September 3rd, and they welcomed Exeter with open arms. Boyertown was riding high after winning their season opener against Upper Perk 35-12, but they were in for a rude awakening when Exeter stepped onto B-town turf. Now granted, the Bears were missing a few...

As we near closer and closer to the MLB postseason in October, the Philadelphia Phillies have been on a hot streak in a late attempt to snag a playoff spot. They had won eight straight games, one against the Pittsburgh Pirates, sweeping a series against the Washington Nationals, and a three game series against the New York Mets. They more recently, however, have fallen back down to earth, and have...

The first round of the 2021 NFL draft was held at 8:00pm on Thursday, April 29 2021 at First Energy Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio. This draft is mainly known for its loaded quarterback prospects. The Jacksonville Jaguars held the first overall pick this year after going 1-15, and the Jets a close second going 2-14 with the second overall pick. Both quarterback needy teams. Before the draft started...

March Madness has officially ended with the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament game on Monday night featuring the Baylor Bears and the Gonzaga Bulldogs. Gonzaga, a team known for always being a top team in March Madness, with the potential to win it all, but always blows their chances along the way somehow, has finally gotten to the big game, and looking to finish their season undefeated after winning...

Many great players have already emerged from the first round of the 2020 NFL draft such as Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year award winners in Chargers' QB, Justin Herbert and Washington's defensive end, Chase Young. Other young rookie players from the first round including Vikings' wide receiver, Justin Jefferson, Bucs offensive lineman, Tristen Wirfs, Cowboys wide receiver, CeeDee Lamb, and...

The legendary Drew Brees has retired from the NFL. The long time quarterback of the New Orleans Saints announced his official retirement on March 14, 2021 via his Instagram. The video can be viewed on the following link: https://www.instagram.com/p/CMaeCtwhtes/.  His main reason for retiring was to spend more time with his wife and kids, and there very well was also an increase in his injuries and...

Big news for Philadelphia Eagles fans: Starting quarterback, Carson Wentz, has been traded to the Indianapolis Colts for a third round pick and a 2022 second round pick that could turn into a first rounder. The relationship between the Eagles and Wentz had been slowly crumbling throughout the 2020 season eventually leaving Philly with having to deal Wentz to Indy. It most likely all started during...

The 2021 NFL Honors award ceremony aired Saturday February 6th, the night before Super Bowl LV at nine o'clock at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California, hosted by Steve Harvey to recognize and award stand out players this past 2020 season. This year's ceremony was a bit different as it was recorded earlier in the day, and all award winners recorded their speeches to be sent in as Steve Harvey and...

Well there you have it. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are your Super Bowl 55 champions! They welcomed Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs into their home Raymond James Stadium and gave them a thrashing, beating them 31-9. A game KC will surely never forget. They struggled mightily throughout the game, and Mahomes was getting no help whatsoever from any position except maybe kicker who scored all...

Man, Patrick Mahomes just keeps working his Mahomes magic. Even after sustaining a concussion in the divisional round game verses the Cleveland Browns, and being taken off concussion protocol during the week, which by the way is a very short time to be in protocol, he still led his Kansas City Chiefs offense in dominate fashion to a win over Josh Allen and his Buffalo Bills in the AFC Conference Championship...

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2003! In Tom Brady's first year in Tampa and the NFC, he takes the Bucs to his TENTH Super Bowl appearance, and looks to grab his seventh SB title. In the battle of the bays, Green Bay and Tampa, in Brady and Rodgers' first ever playoff matchup, the Packers failed to capitalize on given opportunities, and were unable to take...

After getting swept by the New Orleans Saints in their divisional matchups in the regular season, Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took care of business in the divisional round on Sunday night, as they forced Drew Brees and the Saints to turn the ball over four times, as Tampa's defense carried them to victory. Drew Brees had announced prior, that he would be retiring after the season, and this...

The Cleveland Browns came ever so close to upsetting the reigning Kansas City Chiefs, as they had multiple opportunities they just could not capitalize on, or just did not go their way. The Browns were on their way to making their first Super Bowl appearance in franchise history, but just could not get it done against the one and only MVP quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. Even when Mahomes was knocked...

The Buffalo Bills have defeated the reigning MVP Lamar Jackson, and his team in the AFC Divisional Round. Josh Allen adds on to his case for being a top three QB in the league, and an MVP candidate. The windy conditions were a big factor in the game as, some passes floated over receivers, and multiple kicks did not make it through the uprights. Through all that, Buffalo's defense stepped up, not allowing...

In back to back years, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers will play in the NFC Conference Championship game. Green Bay hosted the Divisional Round game against Jared Goff, who was still recovering from surgery to his broken right thumb, and the Los Angeles Rams. The league's number one offense and defense faced off this past weekend. It is worth mentioning that the Rams #1 receiver, Cooper Kupp...

The 11-5 Cleveland Browns became the third team on Wild Card Weekend to end a long painful playoff win drought. The Browns got hit with a late season Covid outbreak causing them to lose to the Jets, and barely beat the Steelers' backups in Week 17. This caused for concern as they entered the playoffs to face Big Ben's Steelers. It had gotten even worse as Browns' head coach, Kevin Stefanski, tested...

In what may be Drew Brees' last year before retirement, the 12-4 Saints' Super Bowl aspirations still remain alive as they handed the 8-8 Mitch Trubisky led Chicago Bears a brutal loss, letting them know they didn't stand a chance as the only reason they got into the playoffs was because the Arizona Cardinals had lost in Week 17. All this could be viewed on Nickelodeon featuring slime, cartoon clips,...

Lamar Jackson finally leads his Baltimore Ravens to a playoff victory. And what better way to do it then by beating the team that knocked you out of the playoffs last year. The reigning MVP led his 11-5 Ravens team to the win over Ryan Tannehill's 11-5 Tennessee Titans. This Titans Ravens matchup has blossomed into a known rivalry ever since the Titans shocked them in the Divisional Round last year...

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have won their first playoff game since 2002. Tom Brady coming to Tampa has not disappointed. An 11-5 Bucs faced off against the 7-9 underdog Washington Football Team on Saturday Night Football. While most people thought this matchup would be a blow out game when in fact it was very entertaining. Washington made QB Alex Smith inactive for the game as he still dealt with a nagging...

Despite having quarterback issues going into the game, with Jared Goff having a broken thumb on his throwing hand recently getting surgery, and eventually deciding to start rookie QB John Wolford, the Los Angeles Rams pull off the upset against Russell Wilson's Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks offense has not looked the same since the first half of the season, and that plus going up an Aaron Donald and...

A huge congratulations to the Buffalo Bills on winning their first playoff game in a quarter of a century as the Super Wild Card Round kicked off on Saturday. A very competitive game between the 13-3 Bills and 11-5 Colts, essentially came down to the wire as quarterbacks Josh Allen and Philip Rivers faced off knowing their seasons are on the line. In the end, Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs were just to...

In their final game of the 2020 NFL season, the Eagles took on the Washington Football Team at home on Sunday Night Football. This game has no playoff implications for Philly but Washington would clinch the NFC East title with a win, and they did exactly that. In this must win game for WFT, if they had fallen to Philly, then the New York Giants would have taken the division crown after beating the...

Just when Eagles fans who still wanted to make the playoffs got their hopes up, it all came crashing down with a devastating loss to the rival Dallas Cowboys this past Sunday. Jalen Hurts once again got the start at QB for Philadelphia as they went up against Dallas' backup QB in Andy Dalton. The Cowboys had been playing pretty well the last couple weeks as they attempt to make a push for the division....

Well despite the loss to the Cardinals, and playoff hopes slipping away, Jalen Hurts is looking more and more like the Eagles' franchise QB for the future after bringing the game down to the wire against the Kyler Murray and Deandre Hopkins led Arizona Cardinals. Carson Wentz stated that he wants out of Philly if he remains the backup, as he has no intention of being in that position. That just might...

Congrats Bills Mafia! Finally, after 25 years, you are the kings of the AFC East. Go break some tables! The Bills flew to Mile High Stadium and handed the Broncos a crushing loss. Quarterback Josh Allen has shown elite QB play throughout the season, and is top three in MVP talks. Wide receivers Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley have been great for Allen as well. It got even better after their win on Saturday...

Well looks like a quarterback change was just what Philly needed. Rookie QB Jalen Hurts was given the starting role Sunday due to Carson Wentz underperforming all season, and the rookie got it done in his first start at quarterback. They took on the surging New Orleans Saints who despite not having Drew Brees, have won their last three games with QB and swiss army knife Taysom Hill. Hurts and Miles...

The Ls just keep coming for the Philadelphia Eagles. They faced off against an offensive juggernaut in the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football. Carson Wentz continues to struggle at quarterback, and the demand to start rookie QB Jalen Hurts grows stronger each week. Seattle's defense continues to be one of the worst in the league, but Philly's offense is among the worst offenses. The Seahawks...

And just like that, the Eagles now only have a half game lead over the rest of the NFC East. In yet another rainy game for the Browns, they established a run game and got after Carson Wentz all game long. The Eagles were once again a mess, especially on offense, and once Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt got going for the Browns, Philly stood no chance. Even with Browns defensive end, Myles Garrett out, Cleveland...

And the NFC East just keeps looking worse and worse as the season goes on. The Giants and Eagles faced off in yet another crucial divisional game on Sunday. The Giants were only a game and a half behind the Eagles who led the division with a 3-4-1 record. Both quarterbacks, Carson Wentz and Daniel Jones, have struggled this season. This could have major implications on who takes the division crown...

Now I don't think anyone was expecting this game to come down to the wire like it did. The undefeated Steelers with a great offense, and elite defensive line should've feasted on the Cowboys historically awful defense, injured offensive line, and fourth starting quarterback who was in the XFL earlier this year. But it was not that at all, with Pittsburgh barely escaping with a win to keep their undefeated...

Daniel Jones took a tumble and the tides turned during this Thursday Night clashing between NFC East opponents. Not the most desired game to watch on primetime as the NFC East teams have all looked awful this season so far, and not to mention all the injuries on both teams who are each missing key players. This game really came down to which team made less mistakes than the other, and that team was...

Back to back weeks of attempted comebacks for the Philadelphia Eagles. Both weeks they fell short of the win. They hosted the elite Baltimore Ravens, led by reigning MVP Lamar Jackson, who just decimated the Cincinnati Bengals, the week prior. While Philly is coming off a near comeback against the Steelers, Carson Wentz and the Eagles offense were unable the keep up with the Action Jackson led Ravens...

November 18, 2018, week 11, verse the Houston Texans, Washington Redskins quarterback, Alex Smith, was sacked by defensive end J.J. Watt and cornerback Kareem Jackson, accidentally causing Smith to break his leg in two places; his tibia and fibula. Everyone thought his football career was over. Two years later. October 11th, 2020, Los Angeles Rams cornerback, Jalen Ramsey, knocks Washington quarterback,...

Well being atop the division was fun while it lasted for the time being for Philly. The Philadelphia Eagles lost their one week division lead to the Dallas Cowboys after the Eagles fell to their fellow in-state rivals, as they traveled to play the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at Heinz Field. Both Pennsylvanian teams offenses played very well, and the surprise of an almost non-existent Steelers defense,...

It finally happened! The Philadelphia Eagles have won their first game of the season taking down the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football. Both teams have been plagued with injuries this season with San Fran even losing their starting quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo, for a few weeks, and having to play their 2nd and 3rd string quarterbacks which the Eagles took advantage of that night. Quarter 1: Wit...

Entering Week 3, the Philadelphia Eagles look to capture their first win of the season. Well, they were unsuccessful in doing that. But, they did not lose either. In an overall lower scoring game, that went into overtime, rookie quarterback, Joe Burrow, and veteran quarterback Carson Wentz, battled it out right up to the end, in what turned into a crazy game as it entered overtime and it turned into...

Week 2 is in the books, and about half of the league's players are injured. But that is not what will be covered in this article. The Los Angeles Rams traveled to Philadelphia this past week to face off against the Eagles who are coming off a shocking loss to the Washington Football Team, while the Rams performed well and beat the Dallas Cowboys. The Rams came into the Eagles' home, and destroyed them....

The first Sunday of professional football has come and gone, and boy did it feel good to have it back! There were lots of exciting moments throughout all the games played this week, as well as some unexpected upsets. Unfortunately, for the Philadelphia Eagles, they were one of those teams who got upset. And who were they upset by? Well none other than the Washington Football Team. In Philly's defense,...

FOOTBALL. IS. BACK. Thursday Night Football featured the Houston Texans taking on the raining Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, featuring two of the league's best quarterbacks in Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson. Ironically, the last game the Texans played last season was against the Chiefs in the divisional round, where they blew a 24-0 lead and lost 51- 31. Houston would now be given a...

As the season draws closer, it seems this Tampa Bay team just keeps looking more and more dangerous. This has been one of the most eventful off-seasons despite the current events happening in our world. So many star players have signed or been traded to new teams such as  Tom Brady to the Bucs, and Cam Newton to the Patriots. Not to mention DeAndre Hopkins, Jamal Adams, Stefon Diggs, Deforest Buckner,...

This years' NFL draft is definitely a special one. Due to the unfortunate circumstances of the Covid-19 outbreak, the draft was unable to be held in Las Vegas, and everyone would be staying at their homes. Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the 1st round picks from his basement, and even let fans still boo him. Coaches and general managers sent in their picks from their homes, and the players as...

No question the biggest news in the NFL since Free Agency Frenzy ended a little while ago. Rob Gronkowski, a future HOF tight end of the New England Patriots, has come out of retirement to be traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers along with a 7th round pick in exchange for a 4th round pick to reunite with former quarterback Tom Brady. Rumors had been appearing most recently when the Bucs announced they...

As most of the sports world has come to a screeching halt in the last two weeks, the biggest combined sporting event, the Olympics, too has been postponed as the world continues to deal with the question marks surrounding the outbreak of COVID-19. It doesn't come as much of a surprise that the Olympics, scheduled for this summer in Tokyo, Japan, have been postponed for a later date. The Olympics...

Now the biggest news in football, and will be for awhile is that Tom Brady, the six-time Super Bowl winning quarterback for the New England Patriots, has announced that he is leaving the Patriots after 20 years and later agreed to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It had come down to the Bucs and Chargers until the Chargers stated they wouldn't be getting Brady due to a change of heart by him....

Just hours after the shocking trade of wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals, another shocking trade took place with another elite receiver. The Minnesota Vikings have traded Stefon Diggs and a 2021 7th round pick to the Buffalo Bills, and in return received the Bill's 1st, 6th, and 7th round picks. Both sides have won this trade. The Bills needed another receiver to help out John...

As we get even closer to free agency, teams have been negotiating with players, and franchise tagging their own. Signings are taking place, trades are being made, and news about the draft due to the Corona virus has come out. Starting off with free agency, multiple teams have franchise tagged one of their players. Dak Prescott, Shaq Barrett, and A.J. Green are just a couple. The biggest signing...

The NFL has announced that their proposed CBA, Collective Bargaining Agreement, that the players voted on, has been approved with just 60 more votes to approve the changes than votes to decline the proposal. To be precise, 1,019 players voted to approve the changes, while 959 players voted to decline them. These new changes will come into affect at the beginning of the 2020 season and extend through...

The worldwide panic that the coronavirus has become has now entered the sports world with an official joint statement from 4 professional sports leagues on Monday afternoon. The 4 leagues: Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League, the National Basketball Association, and Major League Soccer, all announced Monday that they will be prohibiting media access to locker rooms for practices and...

The thrilling momentum for the Flyers keeps on rolling as the team won their 9th consecutive game on Saturday with a 3-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres. The Flyers continued to play as a team that heats up as the game goes on, as they engaged in a stalemate of a 1st period, with neither team scoring by the end of 20 minutes. The Flyers almost seemed outmatched in the 1st, as the Sabres out-shot them...

At long last, for the first time since January 20th in Brooklyn, the Sixers have won a road game, as they defeated the Sacramento Kings 125-108 on Thursday. Tobias Harris and Shake Milton led the undermanned Sixers to the win to snap their 9-game road losing streak. The Sixers got out of the gates strong, at one point leading comfortably 30-18 midway through the 1st quarter. However, in Sixers signature...

The Flyers keep getting hotter and hotter as their win streak reached 8 games on Thursday night with a dominant 4-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes to move into a tie with the Washington Capitals for 1st place in the Metropolitan Division. The first period of play was a back-and-forth stalemate for the most part for both teams. However, it was eventually the Hurricanes who blinked first, as Ivan...

The second trade of the NFL off-season has occurred. Jacksonville Jaguars’ cornerback AJ Bouye was recently traded to the Denver Broncos in exchange for a 2020 4th-round pick. Arlandus Jacob, “AJ”, was signed by the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent back in 2013. He then went to the Jags before the 2017 season, and was part of their elite defense that helped guide the team to the AFC champ...

The Flyers are taking the league by storm, and solidified their status as a major contender with a huge 5-2 win over the 1st-place Capitals on Wednesday, extending their win streak to 7 in a row, their longest streak of the season. With the win, the Flyers move to just 1 point shy of the Capitals for 1st place in the Metropolitan Division. Every game between the Capitals and Flyers is competitive...

The Sixers' road woes continued over the last 2 games as the team dropped both games in LA: one to the Clippers on Sunday, and the other to the Lakers on Tuesday. It shouldn't necessarily come as a surprise, given that 3 of the usual starting 5 are injured, and the Sixers have struggled historically when on the road this season. The Sixers kicked off the road trip on Sunday vs the Clippers, which...

The Flyers are getting hot at just the right time, as they're in the midst of their longest winning streak of the season at 6 in a row. Since February 18th, the Flyers have dismantled the Blue Jackets and Rangers twice each, as well as the Jets and Sharks. The most key part is that the Flyers finished business against the Rangers and Blue Jackets in two games against each, one on home ice, and one...

It's finally that time of year again as the Phillies' kicked off spring training games on February 22nd. After the first week of action, the Phillies have a 6-1-1 record, which doesn't mean much, but it's still a good sign. Here's the first look at the 2020 Phillies. The first game on February 22nd vs the Tigers, the Phillies played a lot of familiar faces, and a lot of big prospects. From last...

In the 2nd game of a back-to-back on Thursday, the Sixers badly needed to flip the script after an awful game on Wednesday night. They'd need to turn to someone other than Embiid and Simmons, who've both been sidelined for the next week and potentially beyond due to injuries. Tobias Harris stepped up in the absence of the two, as he carried the Sixers to the 115-106 win over the Knicks. The Sixers...

The Sixers' struggles in road games have been well-documented this season, and for good reason, as the Sixers have now gone 9-21 on the road this year. With Tuesday's 108-94 loss to the Cavaliers, the Sixers lost their 7th straight game on the road, and they may have lost more than just the game too. The first quarter set the tone for the game, as the Cavs outscored the Sixers 28-17. The score wasn't...

It might finally be safe to have legitimate confidence in this team, for the first time in awhile. And it's a thrilling feeling. The Flyers' recent hot streak was most recently punctuated by Tuesday night's 4-2 win against the San Jose Sharks, moving them to within 1 point of the 2nd-place Penguins in the Metropolitan Division. The Flyers got off to a hot start early, scoring 1:32 into the game...

In the absence of his co-star Ben Simmons yet again, Joel Embiid put the Sixers on his shoulders on Monday night as the Sixers beat the Atlanta Hawks 129-112. After a brutal loss on the road to the Bucks on Saturday, the Sixers needed a bounce-back performance on Monday, but they'd have to find a way to do it without PG Ben Simmons, who's missed most of the last 3 games due to a lingering back issue. Despite...

The Sixers opened the 2nd half of the season on Thursday night with a 112-104 overtime win against the Brooklyn Nets at the Wells Fargo Center. The Sixers came into the game 5th in the Eastern Conference at 34-21, while Brooklyn came in at 7th with a 25-29 record. Point-guard injuries were a big storyline leading up to the opening tip-off, as Brooklyn announced that Kyrie Irving was done for the season...

The playoff atmosphere is here early and in full force,  and just like Tuesday night, the Flyers were ready. After falling behind 2-0, the Flyers fought their way back for a huge overtime win to complete the season-sweep of the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night.

Pretty big move for the Washington Redskins as they release veteran tight-end Jordan Reed. Washington selected Reed in the third round of the 2013 draft. In 2015, Reed had his breakout season recording 87 receptions for 952 yards and 11 touchdowns. He was named to his first and so far only pro bowl in 2017. However, after his break out 2015 campaign, Reed has been decimated with concussions. He suffered h...

It may only be February, but nearly every game has a playoff flavor to it for the Flyers right now. Tuesday's contest between the Flyers and Blue Jackets was especially critical, and the Flyers came out on the victorious end, knocking off Columbus 5-1 in a statement win. Coming into the game, the Flyers found themselves as the #2 wild card, right behind Columbus, who held the #1 wild card spot....

In one of the first major player moves of the off-season, Greg Olsen, the former Carolina Panthers tight end, is signing a one-year contract with the Seattle Seahawks worth $7 million deal with $5.5 million guaranteed. He was able to sign with Seattle because he and the Panthers had already mutually parted ways and he wasn’t in any current contracts.  Olsen was a star tight end for most of the t...

It seems like every sport's all-star festivities have been lacking in entertainment and competition over the last decade or more. Sure, there are staples, like baseball's home run derby, basketball's dunk contest, the NHL and NFL skills competitions, but the actual all-star games have been boring to say the least. In a meaningless game, the competition is subpar. However, the NBA may have solved the...

As soon as the season ended, Washington began immediate changes. They had already fired HC Jay Gruden, and Bill Callahan filled in as interim head coach for the rest of the season. Once the season for Washington ended, they went and hired Ron Rivera, ex Panthers head coach, as the new head coach. They also cleaned the house, firing a ton of other coaches, medical staff such as Larry Hess, the head tr...

McMahon has now revived the league and is giving it another go.  The XFL commissioner i...

The series of trades that shook up the MLB scene last week was put on hold and eventually re-worked over the weekend, making an already confusing situation even more confusing. The big pieces didn't change; Mookie Betts and David Price are still going from Boston to Los Angeles, Alex Verdugo is going from LA to Boston, and Kenta Maeda is still going from LA to the Twins. However, some smaller pieces...

Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs to victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday February 2, in a score of 31-20.

He finished the game with 26-of-42 for 286 passing yards and two passing touchdowns, adding 29 rushing yards and a score on the ground. But how did he g...

By greatly improving his passing game, added onto...

Just when you thought it was going to be a boring off-season of nothing but the Astros' scandals, the Dodgers made some major noise with multiple moves, headlined by acquiring Mookie Betts and David Price from the Red Sox just a little over a week before teams report for spring training. The night's trade action involved 4 teams: the Boston Red Sox, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Los Angeles Angels...

The Phillies announced on Monday that the team would be officially retiring the late Roy Halladay's number 34 in the 2020 season. The ceremony will be held on May 29th, marking the 10 year anniversary of Halladay's perfect game against the Florida Marlins in 2010. It comes as no surprise that the organization is retiring Halladay's number,  and the timing couldn't be more fitting. Halladay spent...

Your Super Bowl LIV champions are the Kansas City Chiefs, as they defeated the San Francisco 49ers 31-20 in comeback fashion on Sunday.

The Flyers' came into Monday's game in Detroit following a dominant 6-3 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday, after dropping a tough overtime game against Pittsburgh on Friday.

The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Conference Championship game, and advanced to their second Super Bowl in the 21st century.

The five Super Bowls they played in before then, were all wins against the San Diego ...

Just two weeks ago, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Conference Championship game to advance to their first Super Bowl since 1970, where they defeated the Minnesota Vikings 23-7 in Super Bowl IV, winning their first Super Bowl.

Tuesday night's game at Wells Fargo Center marked the Sixers' first game since the tragic death of Kobe Bryant on Sunday. On Saturday, LeBron James passed Kobe on the all time scoring list in Philadelphia, Kobe's hometown.

He made his debut in 1989,...

The Flyers demonstrated their defensive grit on Tuesday night, shutting down the rival Pittsburgh Penguins 3-0 in the final game before the all-star break.

The Sixers won back-to-back road games for the first time since December 13th as Ben Simmons lifted the Sixers to a 117-111 win. He stuffed the stat sheet, just hours after being named the Eastern Conference player of the week, racking up 34 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists, 5 steals, and 2 blocks. For the 2nd game in a row, the Sixers played from behind for most of the game, falling behind 32-29...

On Wednesday, the 25-16-6 Flyers took on a tough matchup against the 30-10-8 St. Louis Blues. The Flyers were coming off a big comeback win against the Boston Bruins on Monday night, while the Blues were coming in hot off of 4 straight wins. The Flyers prevailed in the matchup despite the Blues' comeback attempt, leaving St. Louis with a 4-3 overtime win. St. Louis got on the board first thanks...

Coming off back-to-back road losses, the Sixers returned to Philly and continued to dominate on their home floor, taking down the Brooklyn Nets 117-106, thanks in large part to a bounce-back night from Tobias Harris. The Sixers played from behind most of the night, until an explosive 4th quarter performance to rally for the win. At halftime, the Sixers trailed 57-54. The Nets always seemed to have...

Since the end of the 2019 season, the MLB world has been buzzing about the Astros' sign-stealing habits after being revealed by former Astros pitcher Mike Fiers back in November. The investigation and punishments have come into full effect in the last week. Here's what we know, and what to expect once the dust settles. According to investigations and Mike Fiers' public statement in November, the...

On Sunday, Green Bay got its playoff revenge, as the Packers held on to defeat the Seahawks 28-23. Packers' wide-receiver Davante Adams opened the scoring in the game, as he hauled in a 20-yard passing touchdown to put the Packers on top 7-0 in the 1st quarter. Seattle's...

The playoffs just keep getting more insane with each game. Following the Titans' upset victory over the Ravens on Saturday night, the Kansas City Chiefs staged one of the most incredible performances in recent memory, coming back from the dead to slam the Houston Texans 51-31 in the AFC divisional round. Based on the 1st quarter, you'd have thought Kansas City forgot there was a game being played,...

At 9-7 in the regular season, and the 2nd wild card in the AFC, nothing about the Titans, on paper, seems especially outstanding, except Derrick Henry, of course. But regardless, on paper, the Titans really shouldn't be here. But they are. After taking down the defending champion New England Patriots and Tom Brady last week, and eliminating the Super Bowl favorite Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson,...

The San Francisco 49ers were one of the most dominant teams in the NFL this season, starting the season on a 5 game win streak before finishing the regular season with a 13-3 record to clinch the NFC West and the #1 seed in the NFC. They've been Super Bowl favorites since their win streak, despite being a team most expected to be mediocre at best before the season started. On Saturday, they proved...

The Sixers have been the NBA's most dominant team when they play at home on the Wells Fargo Center hardwood, and Thursday's matchup against the rival Boston Celtics proved that once again, as the scuffling and injured Sixers clinched the season series against Boston by taking the comeback 109-98 victory. The Sixers have had Boston's number all season, a stark contrast to past seasons, as the Sixers...

With 2 weeks left in the season, and the NFC East title hanging in the balance, every snap counts for the Eagles, who still have a legitimate chance at the playoffs despite a brutal season. They managed to pull off a comeback win on Sunday to take down the Redskins and keep pace in the playoff race. The first half was one to forget for Philly, which has become a common storyline for them this season....

As the franchise famously dubbed the "Broad Street Bullies," the Flyers no doubt carry a tough personality, but even the team with a mascot named Gritty can only handle so much and continue to perform at a high level. The Flyers will now have to face a brutal test of character and depth in the face of sudden adversity that's unfolded in the last week. The Flyers took on the Maple Leafs on December...

In direct contrast to the 2018 off-season free-agency, the 2019 free-agency class made their decisions quickly, and with authority. Last year, it took top-talents Manny Machado and Bryce Harper until February to sign with the Padres and Phillies respectively. And while the contracts of Machado and Harper were record breaking at the time, the contracts recently signed in the last 2 weeks made those...

As the MLB continues to distribute awards for the 2019 season, Mets' Jacob deGrom and Astros' Justin Verlander were named the 2019 Cy Young Award winners. Jacob deGrom once again dominated his way to the National League Cy Young honor as an encore to his 2018 performance, now winning the award in back-to-back seasons. In 2018, deGrom had a losing record, which was a point of contention as he won...

In a game boasting exciting young talent, Yordan Alvarez and Pete Alonso were named the 2019 Rookies of The Year for their respective leagues. Neither player was hyped-up much previous to their arrival in the big leagues this season, but once they got there, there was no questioning they belonged. Yordan Alvarez arrived on the scene for the Houston Astros in June. Given his late arrival, he only...

On Sunday October 3, the Baltimore Ravens played the New England Patriots on Sunday Night Football at M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens were the first to get on the scoreboard with a touchdown from quarterback Lamar Jackson with 8:13 left in the first quarter. Later, with 2:32 left, Justin Tucker kicked a 3 point field goal for the Ravens. The Ravens led the Patriots, 10-0 at the end of the first...

On October 29th 2019, the Philadelphia Flyers played their rivals, the Pittsburgh Penguins. This was a disappointing game for the Philadelphia Flyers. In the 1st period, the Penguins scored 4 goals against the Flyers goaltender Brian Elliot. Justin Schultz scored the first goal for the Penguins at 5:57 in the first period. The next 3 goals were scored by Jared McCann, Dominik Simon, and Sidney Crosby. The...

Every year Penn State University makes one home game at Beaver Stadium their White-Out game. This is where fans and students wear all white, have white pom-poms, and cheer on the team. This year, Penn State University took on Michigan University on October 19. 110,669 fans all packed into one stadium, chanting, "We are Penn State!" In the first half, Penn State scored 3 touchdowns. By half-time,...

2 weeks after officially firing manager Gabe Kapler, the Phillies have found their new skipper, naming former Yankees' manager Joe Girardi the new manager. Joe Girardi was one of the top 3 names the Phillies interviewed in the weeks following Kapler's departure, along with Dusty Baker and Joe Maddon. In the end, the Phillies decided Girardi made the best impression and would be the best man to lead...

It wasn't pretty by any means, but all that has ever mattered was beating the Boston Celtics. The Sixers did so by a solid margin, knocking off their Eastern Conference rivals 107-93, snapping the Sixers' 5-season Opening Night losing streak. There are 2 key takeaways from the Sixers' win over the Celtics on opening night: 3-point shooting is an absolute disaster for both teams, and the Sixers'...

On Sunday October 13, the New York Jets faced the Dallas Cowboys. This game turned into an unexpected win for the Jets, making it their first win of the NFL season so far. In Sam Darnold’s first game back after his health issues with strep and mononucleosis, he was 23-32 with 338 yards, 2 touchdowns, and an interception. After the Cowboys turned the ball over on downs inside the Jets ten yard...

For the first time in history, the Washington Nationals are World Series bound. They clinched their 1st National League pennant in convincing fashion, sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals in 4 games in their first NLCS appearance, punching their ticket to the Fall Classic. Washington made history in the NLDS, upsetting the heavily-favored Los Angeles Dodgers in a 5-game series to advance to their first-ever...

If you've watched any Phillies baseball in the last 2 years, you had to see this coming. You've probably wanted this day to come. It finally happened, the Phillies have officially fired Gabe Kapler as manager of the Philadelphia Phillies. The firing comes after 2 seasons of extreme under-performance, 2019 more so than 2018, but both were disappointing disasters in their own right. In 2018, the Phillies...

In maybe one of the most surprising storylines of the MLB postseason so far, the Washington Nationals pulled off the NLDS upset of the Los Angeles Dodgers to advance to the NLCS vs the St. Louis Cardinals. In Game 1 of the series, the Dodgers proved they were the best team in the National League, as Walker Buehler and the Dodgers shut down the Nationals 6-0. Both starters in the game were fantastic,...

The Philadelphia Flyers took on the New Jersey Devils on October 9, 2019, for the home opener. Wednesday night, fans from across the Pennsylvania state gathered at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, where the Flyers beat the Devils 4-0 in an amazing shutout game. This was special for #79 goaltender Carter Hart. Hart became the youngest goaltender in NHL history, only being 21 years of age. Har...

The MLB postseason officially got underway on Tuesday night as the Washington Nationals hosted the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Wild Card game. The Nationals managed to survive the win-or-go-home game in thrilling comeback fashion, thanks in part to a fatal error for the Brewers. The Nationals sent their ace, Max Scherzer, to the mound. Overall, he looked like the ace we know he is,...

Week 2 of the NFL season was a week to forget for several quarterbacks, including Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger, Cam Newton, and Eli Manning. For each, their season is suddenly in jeopardy, if not their entire careers. Drew Brees: Out 6 Weeks With Torn Thumb Ligament In the NFC Championship rematch between the Saints and Rams, the Saints and Drew Brees suffered a devestating blow, and this t...

Packers beat Bears 10-3, who deserves the credit? Going into the first game of the season between NFC North rivals, we at least expected the Bears' defense to be a headline, but a defensive jam between the two teams wasn't as anticipated. The Bears were the favorites to start the season in the win column, but instead the Packers walked away with a 10-3 win. The lingering question after the game is: i...

It's officially football season again in South Philadelphia as the Eagles kicked off their 2019-2020 season on Sunday afternoon vs the NFC East rival Washington Redskins. The Eagles were the heavy favorites going into the game, and it showed, although not immediately. The Birds started off slow, getting shut out by the Redskins in the 1st quarter, as the offense couldn't find any traction. Washington,...

It was far from pretty, but with a playoff chance still just barely out of reach, the Phillies need every win they can possibly get. The Phillies won the series 2-1 over the Pirates in arguably the worst 3-game display of baseball ineptitude in recent memory. Game 1: Pirates 5, Phillies 6 Coming off a series loss to the lowly Marlins, the Phillies absolutely had to get a clean game 1 win against the...

The Phillies seem to have hit their stride as of late, as they rolled right over the Cardinals in their recent series at Citizens Bank Park, winning the series 2-1. Game 1 was forced to wait through a rain delay as a series of storms kept most of the state under tornado threats. After waiting out the storms, the game looked just about as ugly as the weather to start, as Nick Pivetta quickly gave...

The Phillies made another strong statement over the holiday weekend, as they followed up a series split with the Chicago Cubs by winning the series against the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1. Game 1 started out looking like a replay of the previous series between the teams, as the Brewers chased Phillies' Jerad Eickhoff out of the game by tagging him for 4 runs on 5 hits, 2 of the hits being home runs, in...

With as hot as the Chicago Cubs were before their series against the Phillies at Wrigley Field, I suppose anything besides getting swept would've been a win for the Phillies. The Phillies made the series with the Cubs extremely competitive, as the only decisive Cubs win was in game 3 of the 4 game set. At the end of the series, the Phillies and Cubs split the matchup at 2 wins each. Game 1 was an...

The St. Louis Blues have defeated the San Jose Sharks in game six of the Western Conference Finals, advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals. With the 5-1 win over the Sharks, they find themselves in a place that didn't seem so good as they were stuck in last place a couple months ago. Now, they fight to claim there first ever Stanley Cup against the Boston Bruins, May 28th. As late as Jan. 2, the...

The Golden State Warriors overcame an injury-prone Western Conference final, winning game four 119 - 117 in overtime, paving the way to a series sweep over the Portland Trail Blazers. The Warriors lost all-stars Kevin Durant and Demarcus Cousins to start the series, and was later determined both would miss a significant amount of time, and most of the series. Warriors high IQ guy, Andre Iguodola...

The Phillies were coming off a brutal series loss to the Brewers on Friday as they looked to open a series vs the Rockies, a team that beat the Phillies badly in their last series too. It looked like the stretch of games for the Phillies could be killer, but the Phillies bounced back strong, sweeping the Rockies out of Citizens Bank Park. In game 1, Andrew McCutchen powered the offense, while Cole...

The Boston Bruins have defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 4-0, completing the four-game sweep, eliminating the Hurricanes from the playoffs. The Bruins starting defensemen, and team captain Zdeno Chara was ruled out right before game time, but assistant captain Patrice Bergeron had a huge night with two goals and an assist. Boston has now won seven straight playoff games and goalie Tuukka Rask...

It definitely was a series to forget for the Phillies, who lost their 3rd series of the season with an 11-3 drubbing by the Milwaukee Brewers in game 4 on Thursday. The series was expected to be tightly-contested, between two top teams in the National League, but the Brewers flat out dominated the Phillies, with the exception of the Phillies' game 1 win. The Phillies' looked like they could be legitimate...

I'm still in shock, and I suppose shock is an understatement. As the buzzer sounded in Toronto, Raptors' Kawhi Leonard got a miraculous shot to fall in, sealing the Sixers' brutal fate in a do-or-die game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. As can be expected from any game 7, it was a tightly contested affair. What's especially notable is the box score, as the Sixers actually outscored the Raptors...

The Milwaukee Bucks have defeated the Toronto Raptors in game one of the ECF, 108 - 100. Superstars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kawhi Leonard headlined the game one matchup, but Bucks center Brooke Lopez took the show with 29 points and 10 rebounds in the win. Leonard led the Raptors once again with 31 points in the loss. Without a finals appearance, it doesn't seem likely The Klaw remains in Toronto. The...

On the the brink of elimination, the Portland Trailblazers put up a strong performance to force a game 7 vs the Denver Nuggets, winning game 6 by a final of 119-108. The duo of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum went off to lift Portland to the win, as Denver couldn't seem to contain the two. Lillard dropped 32 points, while McCollum wasn't far behind, with 30. Even Rodney Hood had a great night, scoring...

Following awful performances in games 4 and 5, the Sixers bounced back in statement fashion, beating the Raptors 112-101 in game 6 to force a game 7 on Sunday. Put the league on notice: the Sixers aren't done yet. The Sixers dominated the Raptors in nearly all aspects of the game, only ever being outscored by Toronto in the  4th quarter. In the first 3 quarters, the Sixers scored 29 in each one,...

On Wednesday, the Phillies learned that their beloved former President and chairman David Mongtomery had passed away that morning. With heavy hearts, the Phillies and Jerad Eickhoff took down the St. Louis Cardinals to finish off a series win vs the Cards. Game 1 was little short of a letdown for the Phillies on Monday, as they were blanked 6-0. Both Bryce Harper and Rhys Hoskins went 0-4, and Vince...

It wouldn’t be a Stanley Cup playoffs Game 7 for Sharks without a ton of drama, and boy, did they make things as interesting as possible in Wednesday night's second-round series-deciding tilt with the Colorado Avalanche. After a night featuring a triumphant return, a waved-off goal and Colorado goals a little too close for San Jose's comfort, the Sharks punched their ticket to the Western Conference...

The entire Phillies organization, fans, players, and staff alike, have lost a major fixture of Phillies baseball. Early Wednesday morning, former president and chairman of the Phillies, David Montgomery, passed away at age 72, after battling for 5 years against cancer. As John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia put it in a Tweet, "The Phillies have lost their chairman, the heart of their franchise." Before...

On Tuesday night, Oakland Athletics' pitcher Mike Fiers threw his 2nd career no-hitter, blanking the Cincinnati Reds 2-0. The feat is unexpected, as Fiers isn't generally noted as one of baseball's elite, and his ERA of over 5 certainly isn't dominant. And recently, the Reds' bats have looked pretty solid. Nonetheless, Fiers put together a spectacular outing against the Reds, a 131 pitch effort....

The Boston Bruins defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-0 last night, advancing themselves to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2013. The series seemed to be a back and forth, physical matchup until games 5 and 6 where Tuukka Rask was dominant in net. The Boston Bruins are set to host the red hot Carolina Hurricanes in Game 1 of the ECF.

Following an explosive win in game 3 for the Sixers, game 4 can only be described as a letdown, as Jimmy Butler said, it "humbled them." The Sixers hung around all game, but they just couldn't pull ahead. And it's hard to look for answers anywhere but with Joel Embiid. Embiid was reportedly extremely sick the night before and during game 4 against the Toronto Raptors, although much of this news...

With the exception of a bullpen breakdown in game 2 of the series against the Washington Nationals, the Phillies appear to have gotten back on track with a weekend series win over their division rivals. Game 1 was the only game that didn't feature especially high scoring, as the Phillies took game 1 by a final score of 4-2. Jerad Eickhoff set the tone with another strong outing, allowing only 1...

The Carolina Hurricanes have swept the New York Islanders, advancing themselves to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Hurricanes have had an amazing playoff run as they started down two games to the defending champions, Washington Capitals. They have won eight of their last nine games and now find themselves in the conference finals for the first time since 2009. The Hurricanes wait to see who...

The Boston Bruins defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-1, tying the series at 2 a piece. The Bruins needed their big names to step up and even this series, so Patrice Bergeron scored two goals on seven shots, David Pastrnak had a goal and an assist and Tuukka Rask bettered Sergei Bobrovsky with a brilliant 39-save effort. The Bruins also kept the Jackets off the board on the power play, going...

With a 3-1 loss in game 1 on Tuesday night, and a 7-3 win on Wednesday, the Phillies split the 2-game series against the Detroit Tigers. Game 1 was yet another product of a recently sputtering offense, as the Phillies were held to 1 run on only 4 hits. It's a shame as well, especially for what a great game it was for the bullpen. Starter Vince Velasquez had to struggle through 3.2 innings, allowing...

The Portland Trail Blazers have defeated the Denver Nuggets 97 - 90, tying the series at one a piece. It was a close first quarter match up as the Trail Blazers entered the second quarter up 5, but pulled away with a 22 point second quarter compared to Denver's 12 points. From that point, it was all Blazers leading til the end of the game. In what looks to be an interesting series, Damien...

Following a frustrating game 1 performance, the Sixers getting a win in game 2 would be crucial to having any chance to win the series. Falling behind 2-0 to the Toronto Raptors would be little short of fatal to their playoff hopes. After the game 1 loss, Jimmy Butler promised to bounce back in game 2, and he did just that. The Sixers surprised the Raptors, and probably most NBA fans, by dominating...

The Denver Nuggets have defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 121 - 113 in game one of the semi-finals. The Nuggets took a 58-55 lead heading into halftime and the game was relatively close throughout, but Denver kept the lead and controlled the tempo for most of the night. Nikola Jokic continued his stellar postseason debut by leading the way with 37 points, nine rebounds, six assists and three steals. Jokic's...

In something of a surprise development hours before the start of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles agreed to a one-year contract with defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan. Jernigan missed 13 games in 2018 as a result of a mysterious non-football back injury, and in an extremely obvious decision, his 2019 option for $13 million was not picked up by the team. However, Jim Schwartz has repeatedly...

It wasn't a pretty series at all for the Phillies, who were outscored 14-7 over the 3 games, losing the series 2-1 to the rival New York Mets. However, in an intensely emotional series, the Phillies and Rhys Hoskins got the last laugh in the series finale, beating the Mets 6-0 to remain in 1st place in the NL East. The first 2 games of the series were an absolute disaster for the Phillies, reminding...

Russell Wilson has signed a four-year extension with Seattle Seahawks worth $87.6 million. The guaranteed amount of $107 million in this contract is the highest in the National Football League and Wilson’s $65 million signing bonus is the largest in the history of the league. The mega-contract extension also includes a no trade clause. Seattle has struggled to hand over their team to Wilson...

The Kansas City Chiefs added a significant piece to their defensive rebuild on Tuesday by trading a pair of draft picks to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for defensive end Frank Clark. Clark, who had yet to sign the $17.128 million franchise tag given to him by the Seahawks, has agreed to a five-year, $105.5 million deal that includes $63.5 million guaranteed. Clarks' 33 sacks since 2016...

Jared Dudley talked all that trash, but the Sixers were more about action, convincingly destroying the Brooklyn Nets 122-100 in game 5, sending the Nets home while the Sixers move on to round 2 vs the Toronto Raptors. The Sixers dominated the Nets right out of the gate, and never looked back, as they were bent on ending the series at home rather than traveling back to Brooklyn for a game 6. In the...

Despite remaining tied with the Mets for 1st in the NL East, the latest stretch of play hasn't been pretty for the Phillies. Since starting their brutal stretch of consecutive games on April 12th, the Phillies have gone 5-6, and have seen 6 injuries, have gone into extra innings 3 times, have demoted 1 player, and have had 1 player get ejected. What started out as a consistent team has suddenly found...

The Boston Celtics swept the Indiana Pacers, closing the last game of the series with a 110 - 106 win. Kyrie Irving has been marvelous as he has carried the C's in their pursuit of a championship averaging 22.5 PPG and 7.8 APG. Considering Indiana lost Victor Olidipo in the regular season,it was hard seeing them get out of the first round against any of the top teams in the East. With this...

Bring out the brooms, the Milwaukee Bucks have swept the Detroit Pistons, recording their first playoff series win since 2001. The series started as an uneven matchup as Blake Griffen did not make an appearence until Game 3 of the best of seven series. By the, the Bucks had the mometum and din't slow down. Giannis Antetokounmpo dropped a playoff career high with 41 points in the destruction of...

If we're going to be honest, this probably should've been a sweep for the Phillies, but the goal remains the same as last year: win every series. And the Phillies did that, taking the series 2-1 from the Marlins over the weekend. Game 1 was all Phillies on Friday night, as the Phils cruised to a 9-1 win behind a strong start from Arrieta, timely hitting, and a 3-run homer from McCutchen to put the...

Tiger Woods took Augusta, Georgia, by storm over the weekend, winning the 2019 Masters tournament on Sunday. Woods won his fifth green jacket, finishing 13 under par after 72 holes at Augusta National Golf Club. The victory marks a remarkable return to form for the 12th-ranked golfer in the world. This Masters win is Woods’ fifth title, giving the 43-year-old the second most Masters titles, separating...

Eastern Conference:  Brooklyn Nets @ Philadelphia 76ers - Brooklyn took a 1-0 lead Saturday with a 111 - 102 win over the Sixers. The Sixers came into Game 1 with a doubtful Joel Embiid, but they ended up losing to Brooklyn anyways. Sixers' Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris almost comletly dissappeared in the game, but Jimmy Butler dropped a hot 36 in the loss. D'Angelo Russell had 26 points in...

It's exactly what a lot of us feared would happen, but hoped wouldn't: the Sixers under-performed painfully in game 1 of the playoffs, losing 111-102 to the Brooklyn Nets. Ever since the matchup between Philadelphia and Brooklyn was finalized, there's been a sense of uneasiness in Philadelphia. The Nets have seemingly always had an answer when they played the Sixers in the regular season. And to...

While the official announcement won't be made until Tuesday at City Hall in Philadelphia, the news broke on Thursday that the Phillies will play host to the 2026 All-Star festivities, including the main attractions of the Home Run Derby and the All-Star Game. It's been a long time coming for Philadelphia, as the All-Star game hasn't been hosted in Philly since 1996 at the now-demolished Veterans...

The Toronto Maple Leafs have stunned the Boston Bruins in the first game of the playoff series, 4-1. The loss comes in the city of Boston where playoff hockey is well known, but watching last night, it looks like playoff hockey in Boston is the equivalent in Phoenix because that was just awful. The Bruins came out strong in the first period taking a 1-0 lead on the power play. Brad Marchand made...

The Tampa Bay Lightning lost to the Columbus Blue Jackets 4 - 3 after blowing a 3 - 0 lead throughout the game. The Lightning jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period, and the team that tied the record for most regular-season wins ever (62) looked like it was going to roll through the playoffs. A sloppy pass from Ryan McDonagh resulted in a Nick Foligno goal in the second period that ignited...

It's still too early to panic, but wow that was embarrassing. In easily the worst game of the season for the Phillies, the Nationals absolutely destroyed the Phillies, scoring 15 unanswered runs before the Phillies finally scored their lone run in the 9th inning. The game is just salt in the wound after the Tuesday night, when the Phillies blew a 6-0 lead to lose 10-6 in 10 innings. Before the Phillies...

Los Angeles Lakers' president Magic Johnson has stepped down from his position, and will no longer be a part of the laker organization in any way. "I want to have fun again," said Johnson. " I can't even tweet without being fined anymore." Johnson was handed the keys to the Lakers in Feburary of 2017 as he's managed to make his tenure look like a bigger failure than it really was. The man did...

Both Dirk Nowitzki and Dwayne Wade have played their final home game in their beloved NBA towns of Dallas and Miami. The Maverick legend Nowitzki racked up a season-high 30 points his his undoubtedly last regular season game in his career. The 21 year tenure in one city defines how loyal Dirk really was to the Mavericks and the entire organization and city. He has totaled over 30,000 points,...

The Phillies last night brought us all back to the glory days of last year, blowing leads and failing to simply put their foot down when given a solid lead over an opponent. On Tuesday night, they jumped out to a 6-1 lead by the 4th inning, while Aaron Nola was cruising. However, the Nationals' clawed their way back, and the Phillies couldn't counter, allowing 9 unanswered runs. The Nationals struck...

Just 1 year after being stunned by UMBC in the 1st round, Virginia has gotten their revenge, as they won the NCAA championship game over Texas Tech on Monday night. The game was a tough, back-and-forth battle between the 1st seed Virginia and 3rd seed Texas Tech. Virginia bested Texas in the 1st half, outscoring them 32-29. Texas held their own in the 2nd half, however, outscoring Virginia 39-36,...

If you thought your luck was bad, at least be thankful you aren't Baltimore Orioles' 1st baseman Chris Davis. On Monday night, Davis cemented himself in the MLB record books, but it's not something anybody wants to be remembered for. The Orioles played the Athletics on Monday night in Baltimore, with Davis on the verge of making history. It finally happened in his 3rd at-bat of the night, as Davis...

The Phillies got the series with the Nationals started off on the right foot on Monday night, as Rhys Hoskins and Odubel Herrera powered the Phillies' offense to a 4-3 victory. Last night marked the first start of the season for Vince Velasquez, as he occupies the #5 spot in the starting rotation. His numbers don't look impressive on paper, but he looked strong in his 2019 starting debut. He allowed...

What was arguably one of the most disappointing and frustrating Flyers' seasons in recent history, has finally come to a close. The season ended in a fashion that perfectly and painfully represented the season as a whole, as the Flyers skidded for a 5-game losing streak in the final 5 games of the season. As a result, they finish the year with a 37-37-8 record, not nearly enough for a playoff berth. The...

Through the 1st 6 games, the Phillies' offense couldn't be stopped, cranking out 49 runs in that span. The past 2 games, however, have been less about the bats and more about the pitching. In game 2 of the series against the Minnesota Twins, the lack of hitting and rocky pitching downed the Phillies in a 6-2 loss on Saturday. On Sunday, the offense remained minimal, but thanks to the pitching of Zach...

Watching this team play well through the 1st half, only to crumble in the 4th quarter nearly every single game, is becoming unbelievably aggravating. I can't find myself confidently believing in this team in the playoffs if they can't sort this out. With Thursday's 128-122 loss to Milwaukee, the Sixers have lost 3 consecutive games for the first time all year, and they're only 3 games away from the...

The New York Jets unveiled their new uniforms Thursday night, Nike's latest collaboration in the NFL. The broadest addition to the new uniforms are the green helmets, which should allow the J-E-T-S to finally throw back to their much cooler outfits from the New York Sack Exchange's salad days in the '80s. The uniforms received massive criticism on social media will several laughing emojis. Football...

The Sixers have now once again lost back-to-back games, after falling to Dallas and Atlanta, again. Trae Young, the rookie sensation for the Hawks, made his presence known, as the Hawks bested the Sixers yet again. There must be something about the Sixers that lights a fire under Trae Young. Some of Wednesdays troubles may be due to the absence of Joel Embiid for a 3rd straight game. Either way,...

The hottest and arguably most improved team in baseball, so far, looked an awful lot like the Phillies team that collapsed in 2018 on Wednesday afternoon, as the Phillies undefeated stretch came to an end in a humbling 9-8 loss to the Washington Nationals. Things got off to an uncharacteristically rocky start for the Phillies, as ace Aaron Nola just couldn't get into a groove. It may have been the...

For the 1st time since 1915, the Phillies have started their season with a perfect 4-0 record. And they did so in dramatic fashion on Tuesday night crushing, the Nationals 8-2 in Bryce Harper's first game back in Washington as a Phillie. The game started as a pitcher's duel between Max Scherzer and Zach Eflin, the only blemishes belonging to Scherzer, a solo home run allowed to Maikel Franco, and...

Oklahoma City Thunder PG Russell Westbrook totaled 20 points, 20 rebounds, and 21 assists in a win over the Lakers, making this the first 20-20-20 game since Wilt Chamberlain in 1968. Westbrook has made triple-doubles a routine the past 3 seasons, as he is set to average a triple-double for the third season in a row. It's nice to see the Thunder pick it up last night as they have dropped seven...

Nobody really expected a great game to be honest, as Embiid sat out for load management, and Butler sat out to deal with this back discomfort from the game in Minnesota. The holes in the lineup showed, as the Sixers were blasted by Dallas, 122-102. The Sixers started off solidly, finishing the 1st quarter with a 32-27 lead over Dallas. The 2nd quarter would be a disaster, however, as the Sixers...

Kentucky and head basketball coach John Calipari have come to an agreement keeping the 60 year old coach with the Wildcats for the rest of his life. The deal comes shortly after UCLA's lucrative six-year, 48 million dollar deal reported Monday, according to Seth Davis of The Athletic. Calipari decided to take the life time deal, but denies he was even thinking about moving to UCLA. "Schools...

After clinching the sweep against the division rival Atlanta Braves on Sunday night, the Phillies start the 2019 season at 3-0, the only undefeated team in baseball, and the first time they've accomplished such a start since 2011. The Phillies got it all started with a 10-4 rout of Atlanta on Opening Day, setting the tone for the rest of the series, if not the rest of the season. On Saturday night,...

The chorus of boos from the Minnesota Timberwolves fans directed at Sixers' Jimmy Butler came as no surprise on Saturday night, as the Sixers prepared to take on the Timberwolves in Minnesota for the first time since Butler demanded his trade from Minnesota back in November. Butler would get the last laugh, however, as the Sixers beat the Timberwolves 118-109 to improve to 49-27 on the season. The...

It was a far-fetched joke, then a legitimate chance, and soon right back to a heartbreaking realization that the season will in fact be over next Saturday. The Flyers' late run of dominance has sputtered just short of the finish line, as the once-unbelievable playoff odds fall just out of their reach. Last Wednesday, with a shootout win over Toronto, the Flyers managed to keep their playoff dreams...

Back-to-back losses have been a rarity for the Sixers in the last 2 seasons, and they found themselves victims of the fate recently, against lowlier teams in the Magic and Hawks. Against a potential playoff team in the Brooklyn Nets, the Sixers righted the ship again, feeding off the energy in Philly with a 123-110 win. The Sixers set the tone early, dominating Brooklyn 38-23 through the 1st quarter....

The hype leading up to Opening Day on Thursday was the most we've seen in Philly since probably 2011, and it was incredible. To be hyped up is one thing, to back it up is another. And the Phillies backed it all up with a huge 10-4 win over the defending NL East Champion Atlanta Braves. Andrew McCutchen got things started with a bang for the Phils, launching a solo-home run in his first at-bat with...

Howie Roseman just couldn't resist stealing some thunder from the Philadelphia Phillies' Opening Day. Days after telling reporters that the Philadelphia Eagles were still considering all options at running back, the team's personnel chief has found Doug Pederson a presumed starter at the position. The Eagles announced Thursday night that they have acquired Jordan Howard in a trade with the Chicago...

It's a shame the games don't really mean anything anymore, because this was a good one, as the Flyers came back to beat the Maple Leafs in a shootout. The game sure didn't start out as the Flyers hoped for, as they watched the Maple Leafs jump out to a 2-0 lead in the 1st period. However, the Flyers would stage a comeback, completely owning the 2nd period. Travis Konecny sniped the first goal right...

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker recorded another 50 point game in another loss Wednesday night to the Washington Wizards, 124 - 121. Booker entered the Wednesday night matchup with a 59 point game in the previous game. Another loss. You hate to see it, but several players have changed teams and even requested trades, and I am wondering if that's Booker's only route to success. Booker was...

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, who played his entire professional career for the Patriots, has retired from the NFL at the age of 29. Gronk was a three-time Super Bowl champion (XLIX, LI, LIII), a five-time Pro Bowl and four-time First Team All-Pro selection, and was the highest ranked tight end in the NFL Top 100 Players for six consecutive years from 2013 to 2018. Gronkowski's...

Nobody can possibly make any argument belittling Ben Simmons' value to this team now. With Simmons unavailable with an illness, the Sixers were downright embarrassed by the Orlando Magic, 119-98, on Monday. I really don't even know how to go about recapping this game, all I can say is our defense flat out disappeared, and our offense relies on Simmons more than anyone gives him credit for. The Sixers...

Well, this looks like the end of an unprecedented race. But it's not like we're not used to this kind of dull heartbreak. With the season on the line the last 2 games, the Flyers finally ran out of late-season magic, collapsing and burning in back to back pathetic losses to the Islanders and Capitals. The Flyers had dominated the Islanders this season too, and it just goes to show the Flyers have run...

Ichiro Suzuki, the Japanese sensation that found his way to the US all the way back in 2001, is finally calling it a career after one final curtain call in front of his home crowd in Japan. Ichiro's MLB career is simply incredible. In 18 years, he collected 117 home runs and 780 RBI, along with a .311 career batting average and a .355 on-base percentage. Ichiro also finishes his career as a member...

There may not be a way to accurately put into words how crucial this game was, but everyone knew going into the game just how big it was. The Sixers' hadn't found a way to beat the Celtics all season, but the Sixers hadn't faced the Celtics with their new starting 5 all working together. It was only a matter of time before the Sixers broke the curse, and it finally snapped on Wednesday. The bad...

Last year, the Philadelphia Union made a cup final and playoffs again. This should be good news, right? Not for this organization. This was the third cup final in four years of no success for the Union, along with not managing a home playoff game after a disappointing loss to NYCFC. Fans are starting to lose faith in this organization ever having any success. Another season starts this Saturday, Ma...

The wins just keep on coming, and at the right time too. The Sixers have set their season-high win streak at 5, and have improved to a season-high 21 games over .500, as they defeated the Charlotte Hornets 118-114 on Tuesday night. With Embiid resting again, the Sixers saw major production from the rest of the starting 5, a good sign for the team chemistry and depth. Ben Simmons went off to lead...

Star center fielder Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels are finalizing the largest contract in professional sports history. A 12-year deal worth more than $430 million that will smash previous records and could keep the greatest player of his generation with the Angels for the remainder of his career. The signing comes a little less than three weeks from Bryce Harper signing with the Phillies....

The Mavericks' legend Dirk Nowitzki has moved up on the All-Time scoring list, passing Wilt Chamberlain on Monday night to move into 6th All-Time, with 31,424 career points. Dirk only needs 868 points now to catch Michael Jordan at #5 All-Time. In the top-10 list, only Nowitzki and LeBron James are still playing. LeBron James passed Michael Jordan earlier this season to move into 4th All-Time.

The Flyers are still alive, and they keep letting the league know it. Pittsburgh was probably having flashbacks to the Stadium Series all over again on Sunday night, as the Flyers rose from the dead to shock the Penguins in a 2-1 overtime win. It was a standoff kind of game, as neither team scored through the 1st and 2nd periods. 2 minutes into the 3rd period, Penguins' Teddy Blueger broke the deadlock,...

The Sixers have officially locked down a trip to the playoffs again, as they defeated the 1st-place Milwaukee Bucks with a statement win on Sunday. We knew going into Sunday's game that it was going to be crucial, as the Sixers had yet to prove their worth against the teams ahead of them in the standings, the Raptors and Bucks. On Sunday, the Sixers let the whole league know they were here for real,...

It's not really surprising, but it still hurts to watch. The Flyers' playoff chase took a big hit on Thursday night as the Capitals easily knocked off the Flyers 5-2. It's especially frustrating when you also consider that this was Carter Hart's first game back since his injury. It's not like Hart was especially bad, but he definitely wasn't as sharp as we know he can be, as he allowed 4 goals on...

The Leveon Bell drama has been a well-documented story for awhile now, and it comes to a rather ironic ending now, as Bell has signed a 4-year, $52.5 million deal with the New York Jets. The deal is hilariously ironic. In July 2018, Bell declined the Steelers' 5 year, $70 million contract offer. It was no secret that Bell wanted more money, so in protest, Bell sat out the entire 2018-19 season for...

Well, I can guarantee nobody saw that one coming. On Tuesday night, the Giants and Browns pulled off a ridiculous blockbuster trade sending top-5 wide-receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to Cleveland for the 17th overall pick, a 3rd round pick, and Jabril Peppers. I have 2 immediate reactions to the trade: the Browns are now the easy favorites to win the AFC North now, and what on earth are the Giants doing? Odell...

The Eagles have brought back a familiar face in trading with Tampa for Desean Jackson on Monday afternoon. It's an interesting move, and a favorite among fans without a doubt. Jackson spent 6 seasons in Philadelphia before ending up in Washington for the 2014 season. He played 2017 and 2018 in Tampa, and now he's going back to where he began. Jackson was a fan favorite, notably for his incredible...

The Flyers' playoff dreams have come even closer to a reality with their win 3-2 over Ottawa on Monday night. With the win, the Flyers are 3 points back of a wild card spot. The Flyers did all their work in the 2nd period, as Oskar Lindblom, Michael Raffl, and Scott Laughton and all scored in the period. Brian Elliot held his own in-goal, although the defense helped him out considerably more....

Everybody in Philadelphia and Indianapolis knew what was at stake on Sunday afternoon. The game between the Pacers and Sixers was basically a playoff game, as the Sixers were in position to take the 3rd seed from the Pacers. Everybody at Wells Fargo Center knew it. When Joel Embiid was announced to return to the lineup for the first time since the All Star game, the intensity became that much more....

The Oakland Raiders have traded for the future Hall of Fame WR Antonio Brown and added a mega-contract extension which includes 50.125 million over the next three seasons. Brown, 30, has been one of the best receivers the NFL has seen to this day. The elite receiver totaled 1297 yards and 15 touchdowns in his 2018 season with the Steelers, and didn't play week 17. To put it into perspective, Oakland...

The Sixers reported on Thursday that Joel Embiid would once again be absent for Friday night's game vs the Houston Rockets. It will be his 8th missed game, and Embiid hasn't played a minute since the All-Star Game. The Sixers are 4-3 in his absence, which isn't bad for a team missing their MVP candidate, but how long can this drag on before we have to start worrying? It feels like we aren't being...

For a game that started so ugly, the 5-3 final score sure doesn't tell the whole story. Because it may have been one of the more excruciating starts we've seen so far. As hot as the Flyers have been, and as good as Elliot has been lately, the game Wednesday night came as a surprise, but I suppose this has been something that surely wouldn't last for long. Elliot got torched for 4 goals, only getting...

This should've been another easy win to take advantage of for the Sixers, against a Bulls team with a pathetic 18-47 record coming into Wednesday's game. But somehow, the Sixers can't just make anything easy. The Sixers have been pretty strong even without Joel Embiid for the last several games, but for some reason they had no answer for the Bulls last night. The game was tight right out of the...

Another day, another game with Joel Embiid on the sidelines, and another day of wondering who's going to go off each night. On Tuesday night against Orlando, JJ Redick, Tobias Harris, and Ben Simmons answered the call with big performances. JJ Redick absolutely went off against the Magic, dropping a team-high 26 points, going 6/9 from 3-point range. Tobias Harris was 2nd on the team in scoring with...

Arizona Cardinals QB Josh Rosen has been placed on the trade block after being picked #10 overall in last years draft. Rosen, 22, played college football for the UCLA Bruins and was drafted by the Cardinals in hopes of being their franchise guy. After a year in the system, and 14 interceptions later, this Cardinals are the NFL's new dumpster fire. There are three ideal landing spots for Rosen....

With only a little over 3 weeks until Opening Day, the Phillies have a lot of roster situations to sort out. The infield is fairly straightforward, but not the outfield. Bryce Harper is a certainty in right field, while McCutchen and Herrera have left and center field, most likely. But what about the other options off the bench? Who will make the final cut? The Phillies have a lot of options in...

The LA Lakers have lost to the LA Clippers 113-105 in the battle of Los Angles. Despite Rajon Rondo's triple-double effort (24 points, 12 assists, 10 rebounds), the Lakers fell further out of the playoff picture with their loss in LA. The Lakers sixth straight loss makes them almost destined to miss the playoffs, in the first year of James' contract. With no playoffs, there's no reason to have...

The Flyers truly are putting together an incredible late season run. A team that drove me absolutely insane from October to January, has now once again captured all of my enthusiasm and I genuinely will be crushed if they miss the playoffs, the same playoffs that I thought for sure were a lost cause 2 months ago. With a huge win over the 2nd place Islanders, the Flyers' playoff chances keep getting...

The Sixers, in the midst of missing Embiid and Marjanovic, have been in need of someone to step up. Facing a Thunder team that's owned the Sixers since 2008, the game looked to be an automatic loss for Philly. But they got Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris to step up in huge ways to snap their 11 year losing skid against Oklahoma City, 108-104. It was undoubtedly a usual Sixers game, as the Sixers came...

It's been an offseason of anticipation, and as it dragged on, an offseason of frustration. It all came to a close at 2:50 in the afternoon on Thursday, as news broke that Bryce Harper had signed a historic contract with the Phillies. There are several key components to the deal worth looking into. Here's what we know: the deal is worth $330 million, over 13 years. Harper's final paycheck from the...

After having lost back-to-back games in embarrassing fashion prior to the Stadium Series, the Flyers have countered with back-to-back wins. The Stadium Series win will likely be a win we look back on for a long time to come, but last night's win vs Buffalo was huge in its own right, as the Flyers' first game in the post-Simmonds era, and first of the Ryan Hartman era. Hartman definitely seemed to...

Another day, another nail-biter for the Sixers. And yet again, it shouldn't have been a nail-biter, but the Sixers' struggles to close out games has been no secret. The Sixers came out of the gates strong, sitting at a solid 31-24 lead after the 1st quarter. They again outscored the Pelicans in the 2nd quarter, taking a 65-52 lead into the half. The story has been the same all season. Strong...

An 8-year-long era of Flyers' hockey came to a close on Monday, as the Flyers dealt Wayne Simmonds to the Nashville Predators at the trade deadline for Ryan Hartman and a draft pick. Wayne Simmonds first joined the Flyers in the 2011-12, scoring 28 goals and 49 points in his first year in Philadelphia. As of his trade on Monday, Simmonds tallied 203 goals and 378 points in a Flyers' jersey. Simmonds...

The boys of the summer are finally back, as the Phillies have played their first games of spring training, starting on Friday afternoon as the Phillies defeated the Rays 3-2. Saturday afternoon marked the Phillies' first home game of the spring, as they faced the Pittsburgh Pirates. It was a slower game, as neither offense could get much started. Much of the game was spent at a 1-0 Pirates' lead, t...

Following back-to-back crushing losses, and goalie Carter Hart going down with injury, all hope seemed lost for the Flyers going into arguably their biggest game of the season. But all bets are off in the Stadium Series, playing on the home field of the Philadelphia Eagles, the most iconic underdogs in the last few years. The game started in a less-than-shocking manner, as Sidney Crosby put the...

Coming out of the All-Star break, the Sixers discovered they would be without their All-Star center Joel Embiid due to a knee soreness, although thankfully, MRI revealed no structural damage. Regardless, it could be a week before Embiid sees the court again. With Thursday's game against the Miami Heat, the Sixers had to do something they struggled to do before: win without Embiid. Thankfully, the Sixers...

The Boston Bruins have acquired RW Charlie Coyle from the Minnesota Wild, in exchange for Ryan Donato and a 5th-round pick. Coyle, 26, has 28 points between 10 goals and 18 assists with Minnesota this season. He totaled a career-high 56 points just two seasons ago. A double-digit goal scorer in each of his last six seasons, Coyle has long been on the trade block and adds another offensive weapon...

I can't say I'm surprised, but I'm still disappointed. The improbable Flyers playoff push took a tough hit on Tuesday night, as they were handily taken down by the Tampa Bay Lightning, arguably the best team in the league. It didn't take long for the Flyers to fall behind, as Tampa tagged Carter Hart for 3 goals in the 1st period, prompting Scott Gordon to pull Carter Hart in favor of Brian Elliot....

The talk around college athletes for the past decade has been about their health and financial security. One injury can shake up a young athlete's whole career and with millions on the table, the NCAA has to protect their athletes. Potential NBA #1 pick, glorified dunker, and overall athletic athlete Zion Williamson is now the topic of discussion after spraining his knee after busting out of his...

The Flyers' front office appears to be more confident in their shot at the playoffs than before, but their confidence comes at the cost of young and upcoming goalie Anthony Stolarz, as the Flyers and Edmonton Oilers made a trade sending goalie Cam Talbot to Philadelphia for Anthony Stolarz. The swap is an unexpected move, but one that indicates the Flyers still believe they can compete. The Flyers'...

They're still hanging around in the playoff race, somehow. With 2 big wins in back-to-back games against Detroit, the Flyers sit 6 games back from a Wild Card spot, with 23 games left to play. And with the acquisition of goalie Cam Talbot, the front office seems to believe in their chances to make it to the postseason - something very few believed in earlier in the season. Game 1 on Saturday was...

Team LeBron has defeated Team Antetokounmpo 178 - 164 in the Annual NBA All-Star Game in Charlotte. Overall, the players did a great job with entertaining the audience as there was flashy plays all night long in an overall gleeful matchup. By halftime, Team LeBron trailed 95 - 82 and with the momentum in Team Giannis favor, it looked like it would be a breezy victory over the future NBA owner,...

The Sixers finally got what was practically a gift-wrapped win in their matchup with the New York Knicks, who own the worst record in the NBA, and lost 17 straight coming into Wednesday's matchup with Philadelphia. Coming off a brutal loss to Boston, the Sixers were looking for revenge. The matchup with the Knicks is the final game for the Sixers before the All Star Break, ending one of the most...

The Baltimore Ravens have an agreement in principle to trade former Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco to the Denver Broncos, league sources told ESPN on Wednesday. The Ravens will save $10.5 million in cap space, however, they will carry $16 million in dead money on their 2019 cap. This agreement means the Baltimore Ravens look to build around second year QB Lamar Jackson moving forward. The only question...

The Philadelphia Phillies have signed SP Aaron Nola to a 4-year, 45 million dollar contract extension with a 16 million club option for 2023. The deal buys out Nola's three years of arbitration eligibility and covers what could have been two post-free agency seasons considering the club option. Nola, 25, was a Cy Young finalists in 2018, going 17-6 with 2.37 ERA as he cemented himself as the...

The Flyers' point streak came to a frustrating end against the rival Penguins on Monday night, as Pittsburgh became one of few teams to solve Carter Hart. With a game the next night in Minnesota, bouncing back was key to keeping the Flyers in their unlikely playoff race. The way the game started, it seemed the Flyers were destined to easily bounce back, as Ivan Provorov scored within the first 3...

The most controversial signing of 2019 comes before free agency hits as the Cleveland Browns have signed ex-Chiefs RB, Kareem Hunt to a one year deal worth 1M. Almost a year ago to the day, on February 10th, 2018, Kareem Hunt shoved a woman in a hotel hallway, shoved another individual so hard that he tumbled into the woman and knocked her down, and then kicked the woman as she crouched on the floor. The...

A few weeks ago, the Sixers easily beat the Lakers in Los Angeles, as they were forced to play without LeBron. The Lakers came into Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Saturday, with LeBron back in the lineup, confident they could take down the Sixers. The Sixers had other plans, as they manhandled the Lakers 143-120. Before the game started, news had spread that Lakers' GM Magic Johnson had intentions...

It's the conclusion nobody wanted or expected on draft night, when the Sixers had just traded up to take Markelle Fultz first overall. But it's the conclusion we got. The Fultz Saga in Philly has come to a close, as the Sixers traded Fultz to the Orlando Magic for Jonathan Simmons, the Thunder's 1st-round pick, and the Cavaliers' 2nd-round pick. The Fultz Saga is well known around Philadelphia and...

The Los Anglos Lakers have defeated the Boston Celtics by a score of 129 - 128, ending the game with a Rajon Rondo 2-point game winning shot. The Lakers entered Thursday night's matchup at .500 on the season. With a competitive Western Conference, LeBron James and the Lakers knew they had a huge game with the Celtics. It was an offensive showdown between the teams that came down to one single...

The Phillies are doing something they haven't done in a long time: making multiple big-impact acquisitions in the offseason. In their latest move, the Phillies acquired All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto from the Miami Marlins on Thursday in exchange for C Jorge Alfaro, RHP Sixto Sanchez, and LHP Will Stewart, as well as international bonus slot money. J.T. Realmuto is widely regarded right now as the...

With trade deadline rumors heating up more and more every minute, the Sixers and Elton Brand have been looking for more depth, and talent. An opportunity presented itself following the Sixers' loss to the Raptors on Tuesday night. The Sixers pulled off a huge deal at around 3:00 on Wednesday morning, as they traded Landry Shamet, Wilson Chandler, Mike Muscala, and 4 draft picks to the Los Angeles Clippers...

The Flyers' are continuing to make history in the unlikeliest of ways, in a season in which they were written off 3 months ago. On Monday night, the legend continued to grow, in more ways than one. The Flyers came into Monday night against Vancouver on a 7-game win streak, facing a Canucks team with only a game advantage on the Flyers' in terms of records. Not surprisingly, the game was closely...

The New York Knicks were having their doubts, wondering if Kristaps Porzingis truly wanted to be part of the franchise. On Thursday, they say he made it clear he didn’t. Once that happened, they decided to trade the All-Star forward who was thought to be one of the key players for their future to the Dallas Mavericks. A seven-player swap with the Dallas Mavericks helped net New York two...

New England topped the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 in a game that dragged the high-def NFL back to the days of black-and-white TV. It was the lowest-scoring Super Bowl in the 53-year history of the game. New England added even more luster to the franchise’s rich championship history on Sunday night. Their victory over the Los Angeles Rams put a stamp on a season that started 1-2, but ended with New...

They're scorching hot right now, and with their 2nd overtime win in a row, the Flyers have extended the winning streak to 7 games. And it's safe to say we're as shocked as we are hyped about it, even if it's too late to save the season. The Flyers came into Saturday's matchup with the Edmonton Oilers on a 6-game tear, while the Oilers have been an absolute disaster all season, with Connor McDavid...

If you had told me a month ago that the Flyers would go on a win streak of any kind this season, I'd have just dismissed it as wishful thinking. Yet here we are, talking about how Carter Hart and Anthony Stolarz seemed to have turned the team around in a sudden and unexpected fashion. The Flyers took the most recent game against the Bruins, and coming into Thursday's matchup with the bitter rivals...

Super Bowl LIII   New England Patriots vs. LA Rams   PJ: Los Angeles Rams The Rams have been impressive all season, and controversy or not, they took down a real solid Saints team in the NFC Championship, something few teams have been capable of in 2018. And they did it with their offensive centerpiece, Todd Gurley, at less than 100%. And while the Patriots have appeared to have re-awok...

In a season that's been riddled with downright pathetic goaltending, the Flyers appear to be seeing a light at the end of the tunnel; a blinding one, at that. With Carter Hart stepping up as the #1, Anthony Stolarz made his case with a shutout against the New York Rangers on Tuesday, his first start since returning from injury. There's really not much to discuss in terms of a game recap, as the...

New Orleans Pelicans PF and C, Anthony Davis, has requested to be traded to a team that allows him a chance to win consistently and compete for a championship. Davis wanted to be honest and clear with his intentions and that's the reason for informing them of this decision now. That's in the best interests of both Anthony's and the organization's future, according to Davis' camp. The trade deadline...

Indiana Pacers star Victor Oladipo has suffered a ruptured quad tendon in his right knee and will need season-ending surgery, the team announced today. Oladipo was injured during the second quarter of Wednesday's game as he was racing back to defend a transition break. He collapsed as he closed on Raptors forward Pascal Siakam. The severity was evident almost immediately as trainers draped...

The Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James and the Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo lead the list of 10 players including two guards and three frontcourt players from each conference whom was selected by fans, current NBA players and a media panel to start in the 2019 NBA All-Star Game. As the All-Star starters who led their respective conferences in fan votes during NBA All-Star voting in...

This team is really starting to look like the contender we've been waiting on to develop. And it seems to get more and more exciting with every game. Back in mid-December, the Spurs absolutely annihilated the Sixers in a 123-96 blowout in San Antonio. The Sixers have obviously come a long way since then, and were bent on revenge on Wednesday night. However, once again, they would be missing Jimmy...

James Harden pours in 61 points in the Houston Rockets win at Madison Square Garden, tying Kobe Bryant for the most points by an opposing player at MSG. Harden scored 61 points to go along with 15 rebounds, 4 assists, and 5 steals, and the Houston Rockets battled back from a 13-point first-half deficit before almost blowing a lead in return down the stretch, but they ultimately held on for a 114-1...

Edgar Martinez, Roy Halladay, Mike Mussina and Mariano Rivera have been elected as the newest members of the Hall of Fame. The 2019 Baseball Hall of Fame class was announced Tuesday night, with Rivera, Halladay, Martinez and Mussina receiving the required 75% vote for entrance. Rivera, baseball's all-time saves leader, became the first player in history to be voted in unanimously. He received all...

The Sixers' difficult schedule proved itself with a heartbreaking loss to Oklahoma City on Saturday, but this Sixers team isn't one to stay down. With a national audience against the league's best scorer in James Harden of the Houston Rockets, the Sixers showed-out and bounced back, handing Houston a 121-93 loss, their worst loss of the season. One thing nobody saw coming was the impact Corey Brewer...

For all the controversial calls. For all the potential on the other sideline, two things remain constant. The Patriots have Bill Belichick, and they have Tom Brady. That’s why they’re heading to yet another Super Bowl. The one way to make sure Patrick Mahomes didn’t lead the Chiefs back again was to not let him have the chance, as the Patriots took the first possession of overtime...

Greg Zuerlein hit a 57-yard field goal with 11:47 left in overtime as the LA Rams advanced to Super Bowl 53 with a 26-23 overtime win over the New Orleans Saints at the Superdome Sunday night. Moments before making the longest field goal in Rams playoff history, Zuerlein nailed a 45-yard field goal with 19 seconds left to send the game into overtime. But New Orleans fans will argue that the game sho...

The Sixers began their most brutal stretch of games on Thursday night in Indianapolis against the Pacers. With Joel Embiid and Wilson Chandler game-time decisions, how the Sixers would perform against the team 1 place above them in the rankings was in question. The Sixers turned the question mark into an exclamation point. The first stat to note was the Sixers' fantastic shooting once again, which...

NFC Championship LA Rams @ New Orleans Saints PJ: LA Rams I’m still not buying into the Saints right now. They’ve found ways to win late in the season every time, but the electric they once had, disappeared late in the season. The Rams look like the more electric team based on what we’ve seen, despite what it may say on paper. Brees is without a doubt the better QB in this matchup, bu...

As frustrating of a season the Flyers have had, they sure have shown some fight in rivalry games, and the Flyers looked like a team that should be in the playoff race on Wednesday night, despite still sitting in the basement of the rankings. The rivalry between Boston and Philadelphia never dies, and the Flyers managed a crazy 4-3 comeback win against the Bruins. For the 2nd game in a row, a Flyer...

There was a special hype around the Timberwolves and Sixers meeting at Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday night before the players even took the court for shootaround. And for good reason. Former Sixers and members of The Process Robert Covington, Dario Saric, and Jerryd Bayless were making their return to Philadelphia for the first time since the trade that sent the trio to Minnesota for Jimmy Butler....

Where was this all season? The Flyers, amid what's been a dismal season, gave us reason to cheer again on Monday night as they dominated the Minnesota Wild, en route a 7-4 win. The Flyers had 3 players account for all 7 goals, as each tallied 2 or more goals. Nolan Patrick scored 2, including a highlight-reel between-the-legs shot. Wayne Simmonds, amid heavy trade rumors, netted 2 himself. James...

The Sixers are set to ensure the legacy of the late Moses Malone is never forgotten as they plan to honor Malone by retiring his number on February 8th against the Nuggets. Malone's number 2 will join the legendary lineup of Sixers greats, immortalized in the rafters of Wells Fargo Center, along with a statue in the Sixers' "Legends Walk" at their practice facility. Moses Malone was a legend in...

In a game that matched 2 of the best running backs in the league against each other, there were a number of variables that would make or break the Rams' or Cowboys' seasons. How would Jared Goff and Dak Prescott perform, would the Cowboys' defense be able to stifle the Rams' strong offense? The Rams got on the board first, with a field goal, but the Cowboys soon countered with a TD to Amari Cooper,...

The New Orleans Saints defeated the Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 20-14. The Philadelphia Eagles jumped to an early 14-0 lead in the 1st quarter after Drew Brees' first pass was intercepted by Tre'Von LeBlanc to start the early carnage. With a Nick Foles lead, the Eagles looked poised to dominate the Saints in NOLA, but a fake punt put together by Sean Payton reversed the momentum. The Saints...

The Kansas City Chiefs finally shed their legacy of first-round eliminations with a dominating win over the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday to advance to the AFC Championship. The Chiefs' offense was as-advertised in the Divisional Round, coming off a bye week, as the Chiefs jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the 1st quarter on TDs from Damien Williams and Tyreek Hill. The Colts couldn't get anything started...

The New England Patriots defeated the LA Chargers by a score of 41-28. Looking at the score, down 13 isn't a blowout, but Tom Brady and the New England offense went to work totaling 498 total yards, including 5 touchdowns, 4 on the ground. The Patriots marched down the field on their first possession almost wiping half of the 1st quarter away. The Chargers quickly scored on a Keenan Allen double-move...

It's been a long time coming for the Flyers, who'd lost 8 straight games coming into Thursday night's game against the Dallas Stars. And as anyone would've guessed, goalie Carter Hart was right in the middle of the win. Hart put up arguably one of his best starts since his debut earlier this season against Dallas on Thursday. With the Flyers' defense being about as solid as swiss cheese, and the...

The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 154 - 147 in an double-overtime thriller. The Spurs were backed up by LaMarcus Aldridge's big night as he totaled 56 points, 4 assists, and 9 rebounds. Credit to Aldridge, but the Spurs team broke records Thursday night as San Antonio drilled its first 14 3-point attempts Thursday, the most by any team to begin a game over the past 20 seasons,...

On Tuesday night, thanks in part to a career night from Landry Shamet, the Sixers took home a commanding 132-115 win against the Wizards. On the very next night, the Wizards flipped the script on the Sixers, badly. The Wizards opened up with a 25-20 lead after the 1st, but the Sixers couldn't put together any kind of a comeback effort as they worked from behind all night, falling 123-106. It became...

At least we're tied for the most of something that's not losses, right? On Tuesday night, the Flyers tied the NHL record for number of goalies used in a season with their 7th, as they started Mike McKenna in-goal against the Capitals. Of course, apparently out of 7 different goalies, the Flyers still can't win to save their lives. With the 5-3 loss to the Capitals on Tuesday, the losing streak...

The Sixers' Landry Shamet has been one of the most underrated components of the Sixers' team, and is looking more and more like a late-round steal in the draft as he continued to impress on Tuesday night. As the Sixers took on the Wizards on Tuesday in Philadelphia, the big story was Jimmy Butler returning from a multi-game absence due to an illness, but Sixers' standout rookie Landry Shamet stole...

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have hired ex-Cardinals head coach, Bruce Arians. Arians will have a four-year deal with a fifth-year option, a source told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. The former Cards coach is hiring Bryon Leftwich as offensive coordinator and is expected to hire Harold Goodwin as run game coordinator/offensive line and Clyde Christensen as QB coach, Rapoport added. Arians is als...

NFC PLAYOFFS   Dallas Cowboys @ LA Rams PJ: LA Rams The Seahawks gave the Cowboys a run for their money, but just couldn’t overpower the Cowboys. The LA Rams, however, look poised to end the Cowboys’ hopes, as it will be a battle of 2 of the top RBs in the league, Todd Gurley vs Ezekiel Elliott. While Dak Prescott looks like the better QB over Jared Goff, I have the Rams edging the Co...

Gritty's mid-game "Birdbox" stunt was a fitting performance for the Flyers, since most of their games are more enjoyable to watch while blindfolded. We all knew it was going downhill for this team but wow this level of incompetency is just unprecedented, but it's just so Philadelphia. Literally everything is going wrong for the Flyers. You have to go back to December 23rd to find their last win,...

The Clemson Tigers defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide 44-16, capturing their 2nd College Football Championship in the last 3 seasons. The Tigers entered Monday's championship game with the mindset that they were the best team in the country, and with a win in blowout fashion, you cannot argue Clemson could have been the best team in college all season. Clemson Coach Dabo Swinney credited the players...

The storyline going into Saturday's matchup between the Sixers and Mavericks in Philadelphia was the battle between reigning Rookie Of The Year Ben Simmons vs likely Rookie Of The Year Luka Doncic. Simmons made it clear that he was the sophomore and Luka was the rookie. Simmons posted a 20/14/11 triple-double against the Mavs, tied with JJ Redick on the Sixers in terms of scoring, and leading the team...

A clutch drive and a missed field goal helped the Eagles survive and advance in dramatic fashion over the Chicago Bears by a score of 16-15 in the NFC Wild Card round at Soldier Field. Trailing 15-10 with 4:48 to play, quarterback Nick Foles put together yet another clutch drive where he found five different targets en route to the red zone. On fourth-and-goal from the 2-yard lin...

The Los Angeles Chargers’ prize for dismantling the toughest defense in the NFL is a road game against a team that has long been a nemesis for Philip Rivers. Los Angeles advanced to the divisional round of the postseason by beating the Baltimore Ravens 23-17 on Sunday. Next up, a matchup against the New England Patriots this Sunday. Since Rivers became a starter, the Chargers are 0-7 against...

The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Seattle Seahawks 24-22 in the wildcard round, advancing them to the divisional round to face the Los Angeles Rams. The Cowboys trailed 14-10 entering the 4th quarter, but an Ezekiel Elliot touchdown with 12:28 remaining put Dallas ahead, and a Dak Prescott touchdown throw just ahead of the two minute warning just about sealed it despite Russell Wilson's comeback. Dallas'...

The Indianapolis Colts defeated the Houston Texans 21-7 in the wildcard round, advancing them to the divisional round where they take on the Kansas City Chiefs. The Colts walked into their first playoff game since the 2014 AFC Championship Game and dominated at the start, jumping out to a 21-0 lead over the Texans by mid 3rd quarter. The story of the game was the Colts defense as Texans QB Deshaun...

As a 90-second tribute video played moments before tipoff, the tone for Thursday night’s reunion of sorts between the Spurs and Raptors seemed to be set, underlining the intense (and intensely mixed) emotions that fans brought with them to one of the most anticipated games of the season. Every sight or mention of Kawhi Leonard, the man who willed his way out of San Antonio last year, was met with...

The Houston Rockets defeated the Golden State Warriors by the score of 135-134. The Warriors were connecting on all cylinders as they totaled 70 points in the 1st half mounting a 17-point halftime lead over Houston. With Kevin Durant ending the 1st quarter with a flashy euro step layup, the Warriors looked determine to put Harden and the Rockets back in their place in the West. Houston, with...

NFC PLAYOFFS   Seattle Seahawks @ Dallas Cowboys   PJ: Seattle Seahawks The Seahawks are an improbable story, as a team expected to furiously decline going into the 2018-19 season, but Russell Wilson once again led them to a strong winning season, with a 10-6 record. And while the Cowboys have turned heads with a strong defense and elite offensive weapons in Amari Cooper a...

The Phoenix Suns' season has been nothing short of abysmal so far, to the tune of a 9-29 record coming into Wednesday's game against the 76ers. The Sixers, with a 24-14 record at tip-off, despite not having Jimmy Butler and Wilson Chandler available, were still obvious favorites. And that was the undoubted truth through the 1st half as the Sixers dominated yet again, leading 72-49 at halftime. As...

While the Flyers may always be the "Broad Street Bullies," the Sixers seem to have earned the title more than the Flyers as of late as the Sixers won a chippy game in Los Angeles on Tuesday night. The Sixers came into Tuesday night frustrated following a brutal loss to the Blazers on Sunday night, with Joel Embiid on the bench. With Joel Embiid back on the floor, the Sixers looked to have immediately...

The Phillies continue the mission to become legitimate contenders as they made the move to sign outfielder Andrew Mccutchen to a 3-year, $50 million deal. Mccutchen, generally referred to as "Cutch," is most notable for his time on the other side of Pennsylvania, where he spent 9 years as a Pittsburgh Pirate before being traded to San Francisco last offseason, spending the 2018 season split between...

Whatever magic is in the headbands, it's working for Ben Simmons, who dropped a 13/11/10 triple-double as the Sixers blew out the Knicks 131-109 on Wednesday night. Joel Embiid led the Sixers in scoring yet again, with 24 points, with Jimmy Butler close behind with 20. Rookie Landry Shamet continued to impress as an underrated component of this Sixers squad, dropping 17 points and going 4-7 in 3-point...

Yeah, it's one game, but we need all the optimism we can get. The turmoil for the Flyers continued on Monday as the Flyers fired head coach Dave Hakstol on Monday, and goalie Anthony Stolarz suffered yet another injury. Enter Carter Hart. Drafted 48th overall in 2016, the 20-year-old goalie has stirred up hype throughout the organization as the goalie of the future, and the Flyers need it, as the goalie...

It's safe to say everyone saw this coming, it was only a matter of when. And the "when" came on Monday as the Flyers officially relieved head coach Dave Hakstol of his position with the team. Under Hakstol, the Flyers have made the playoffs in 2 of the last 3 seasons, but 2018 has been anything but playoff worthy as the Flyers find themselves at the very bottom of the eastern conference at 12-15-4....

The optimism levels had dwindled in Pittsburgh for the last few weeks. The Steelers had lost 3 straight, including the most recent loss, a defeat at the hands of the league laughing-stock in the Raiders. Now, the Steelers had to find a way to turn the momentum as they faced the Patriots, a familiar nemesis that they haven't found a way to beat in 7 years. That curse, however, would last no longer. The...

The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the LA Rams on Sunday Night Football 30-23, remaining in the playoff picture heading into Week 16. A depleted Eagles team, with Nick Foles starting, stepped up big time in LA, with Foles going 24/31 for 270 yards and a touchdown. The Rams nearly had an opportunity to tie or perhaps even take the lead and win the game in the 4th quarter, but their punt return in...

James Harden's first bucket of the game gave his Houston Rockets teammates a feeling that this would be a spectacular performance for the reigning MVP. After a couple of jab steps, Harden blew by Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonzo Ball, sliced down the lane and threw down a vicious, lefty tomahawk dunk over center JaVale McGee. Harden, who usually plays it cool by pretending to have a nosebleed after...

Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Carson Wentz has been ruled out of Sundays big match up against the LA Rams. An MRI on Thursday morning gave Wentz the news all organizations look to avoid, which is a possible season-ending injury. Wentz suffered a fractured vertebra in his back which can, and will heal with rest. Considering there are 3 games left in the season and the Eagles are sitting...

In Monday's win against the Pistons, Sixers' Jimmy Butler left early with an apparent groin injury. While the injury appears to be minor, Butler sat out Wednesday's game vs Brooklyn as a precaution. The Sixers have been rolling as of late, even as Embiid struggled last week. However, the Nets have had the Sixers number this season, with the win on Wednesday, they lead the season series 2-1. Embiid...

It seems to happen every single off season, the baseball community has lost yet another pair of former players. On Thursday night, after playing in a winter ball game, former Angels' outfielder and free agent Luis Valbuena, aged 33, and now-retired Jose Castillo, aged 37, were on their way home  when their car hit a rock, veering off the road and killing Castillo and Valbuena. The driver, former MLB...

Where do you even start with this one? The Steelers had lost back-to-back close games to the Broncos and Chargers in the previous weeks, but appeared to have a great matchup to turn things around against the 2-10 Oakland Raiders, who've traded away every asset of value for draft picks and a bag of chips. In fact, you could consider Sunday's matchup a must-win for the Steelers, as their lead in the...

The Eagles vs. Cowboys games have been legendary through the years, but this Sunday's game had high playoff implications meaning the Cowboys could run away with the division with a win, but the Eagles could took take a step closer to being back-to-back NFC East Champions. On the opening kickoff, the Eagles immediately forced a fumble and recovered in putting them in the redzone within the first...

The Flyers began a road trip in Buffalo with a game against the Sabres, who've been surprisingly good this season. Buffalo jumped out to  2-0 lead early, and it looked like it would be another pathetic loss for the Flyers. But the Flyers found a spark and took advantage of it, rattling off 6 consecutive goals to stun the Sabres in the comeback effort.Whether or no the Flyers had gotten their mojo...

Derrick Henry had a record-setting night in the Tennessee Titans' 30-9 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night. Henry set a franchise record with 238 yards rushing and had a career-high four touchdowns, with 99 of those yards coming on an NFL-record-tying touchdown scamper in the second quarter. For 36 years, Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame running back Tony Dorsett's record had stood alone...

The LA Lakers defeated the San Antonio Spurs by a score of 121-113, with a strong effort from no other than Lebron James. The "Lake Show" didn't look too good early on in the 4th quarter, as they were losing 91-83 with 10:12 left in the game, with the main reason being that LeBron wasn’t in the game. Luke Walton called timeout, put him back in, and the game was history. LeBron went 7/8 in the...

The New York Giants have been an absolute mess the past two years with a combined record of 7-21 with three games to go. Although the Giants have been a huge disappointment the past two years, they have had several positive outcomes along side Quarterback, Eli Manning's, terrible play. The Giants used their #2 overall pick in the 2018 draft to add an absolute freak of nature in Saquon Barkley. Barkley...

The Sixers had won 4 straight and seemed to be finally getting their footing going into a tough matchup against the best team in the NBA in the Toronto Raptors. In a game that could be an eastern-conference playoff preview, the Sixers still showed that they aren't quite ready enough to win the east. The loss came as a result of 2 glaring realitites: Joel Embiid does occasionally have off-games, and...

It's been the never-ending story since last year's draft. Fultz this, Fultz that, he's hurt, it's mental, he can't shoot, he's a bust, he'll come around. First he screwed up his shoulder, then he forgot how to shoot. Then he seemed to be recovering, and now he's injured again. On Tuesday, sources announced Markelle Fultz has been diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome in his shooting shoulder, again....

The Toronto Raptors are currently the best team in the NBA. The LA Clippers are atop the West due to everyone's contributions. Giannis Antetokounmpo is the current NBA MVP, as Luka Doncic is leading the Rookie of the Year award. The Houston Rockets are the biggest NBA disappointment this season. Tobias Harris is balling and should be considered more than just a role player. Andre Drum...

The Steelers collectively held their breaths as Conner grabbed his leg after a run late in the loss to the Chargers on Sunday. He exited the game, and everyone expected the worst. On Monday, reports appeared optimistic that Conner had only suffered a leg contusion. However, the relief was short lived, as a report came out on Tuesday, confirming that Conner's injury was more serious than a contusion,...

The first move to turn the franchise around came on Monday afternoon as the Flyers announced the hiring of new general manager Chuck Fletcher. The hiring comes a week after the firing of former GM Ron Hextall as the team fell into a tailspin of late. Fletcher played key roles in both the Minnesota Wild and rival Pittsburgh Penguins' front offices in his career, as the Wild made 6 consecutive playoff...

Ohio State head football coach Urban Meyer will step down following the Rose Bowl, after seven seasons with the program. The writing was on the wall for this decision, as Meyer, one of college football's most recongnizable coaches, was non-committal about returning next season and simply didn't look well at times this season as he battled health issues. Meyer's season started with a suspension...

The Phillies showed a lot of promise in 2018, sitting in the top 5 in the National League at the All-Star break. The wheels fell off in the 2nd half of the season, however, and tarnished what was otherwise a big step in the right direction for the team. The positive side of the late season collapse was the heightened emphasis on acquiring a legitimate talent in the off season. The Phillies began this...

The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Washington Redskins 28-13 on Monday Night Football, improving to 6-6. The Eagles entered the 4th quarter with just a 1-point lead, but they scored 14 points on a TD, and two field goals in under 10 minutes to finish off the Redskins. Washington's night was headlined by Colt McCoy suffering a fractured leg, which paved the way for Mark Sanchez to enter. Adrian...

The Flyers vs Penguins rivalry has always been one of the more heated rivalries in the NHL, between 2 perennial playoff contenders. But both teams have seen lackluster results in the 2018-19 season. The Pittsburgh Penguins came into the game Saturday night at 10-9-5, as they seem to have lost their usual top-of-the-league mojo. The Flyers' frustration was no secret, as they came into Saturday 10-12-2...

1.) Alabama Crimson Tide The Crimson Tide finsihed their regular season on Saturday night with their stunning comeback with Jalen Hurtz. Georgia was dominating Alabama for most of the first half as Tua Tagovailoa struggled. Hurtz then entered and made a miraculous comeback winning 35-28. 2.) Clemson Tigers The Tigers took care of business in their fourth stright ACC Championship win. They won in...

A Sunday Night Football shootout is what was presented as the Chargers went to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers. Both offenses are ranked in the top 5, Steelers at 4, and the chargers at 5. The game didn't disappoint as there was a total of 63 points, 9 touchdowns, and just over 700 total yards. The game was truly determined by who had the last possession which was the Chargers. They drove...

Kawhi Leonard scored a season-high 37 points, Pascal Siakam added a career-high 26 and the Toronto Raptors overcame a 51-point performance from Kevin Durant to beat the Golden State Warrirors 131-128 in overtime on Thursday night, extending their winning streak to seven. Kyle Lowry had 10 points and 12 assists, Serge Ibaka scored 20 points and Danny Green had 13 as the Raptors snapped an eight-game...

The matchup between the New Orleans Saints and the Dallas Cowboys was anticipated to be a solid contest between 2 strong NFC contenders, but there was little faith in the Cowboys defeating the Saints. New Orleans had won 1o straight and averaged 44 points through the last 4 weeks. The job the Dallas defense did  in response to the underdog status, was shocking. Drew Brees looked average at best, and...

The Sixers finally seemed to fire on all cylinders on Wednesday night, pulling out to a 41-27 1st quarter lead and never looking back. In a season that has seen leads evaporate in a matter of minutes, and an overall lack of explosiveness and consistency even against lowlier teams, the win on Wednesday is huge. It's the team's largest margin of victory since October 29th's 113-92 win over Atlanta. JJ...

Just a day after the organization fired general manager Ron Hextall, head coach Dave Hakstol and many players expressed a new urgency to respond with a win on the ice against the Ottawa Senators. As captain Claude Giroux felt, "Nobody is safe," as the Flyers organization is in desperate need for a change in the right direction. The Flyers seemed to be on the way to solidifying a statement-win early...

It's no secret the Flyers have been underwhelming in the 2018-19 season so far, and the frustration in the Flyers' front office boiled over as they responded by firing General Manager Ron Hextall on Monday. The move is a controversial one among many, as most are quick to blame head coach Dave Hakstol for the Flyers' struggles, not Flyers' GM and longtime goalie Hextall.

After an improbable comeback last week against Jacksonville, the odds were in favor of the Steelers in their week 12 matchup with the Denver Broncos. However, it became apparent quickly that Denver was better than advertised, especially on the defensive end, as they stifled the Steelers in a 24-17 win to keep their playoff chances alive. The Broncos' defense made Ben Roethlisberger look below-average...

The Philadelphia Eagles entered Sunday's divisional match up with a must-win mentality as they were 4-6 on the verge of losing playoff contention. The New York Giants came into the game with not much to lose and they gave it their all after winning their previous two games. The Giants opened up the scoring in the 1st quarter with a 13 yard shuffle pass to Saquon Barkley. A penalty moved the ball...

For once, Sixers fans enjoyed a dose of positive déjà vu on Sunday night as newly-acquired star Jimmy Butler knocked down his 2nd, last-second game-winning shot in the last 5 games. The shot completed a furious Sixers' comeback to knock off the Brooklyn Nets in a 127-125 win; Philadelphia outscored Brooklyn 38-23 in the 4th quarter.  The shot was, in many ways, an exact replica of the game-winning...

The Steelers looked like their 5-game win streak was in significant danger as the Jacksonville Jaguars stifled their offense at every opportunity, shutting the Steelers out through the 1st half. The Jaguars picked off Roethlisberger 3 times, and it seemed the old Jaguars defense was finally back, and they would own the Steelers yet again. It seemed that way, anyway. Roethlisberger and the Steelers...

It seems like the most Flyers headline ever, making history but still failing to secure the win. On Saturday, the Flyers found themselves in a dire situation, down 5-1 to the Tampa Bay Lightning entering the 3rd quarter, the Flyers managed to rattle off 4 unanswered goals in the last 6 minutes to tie the game and send it into overtime. According to the NHL, the Flyers became the 9th team in history...

There's no quicker way for an athlete to earn the fans' endearment than to win, and Jimmy Butler has officially solidified himself as a Philly athlete with his cold-blooded game-winner on Saturday. The game between the 76ers and the Charlotte Hornets was on pace to be historic, but not for a reason the Sixers wanted. Charlotte Hornets' Kemba Walker was absolutely on fire, as he dropped 60 points on...

The much-anticipated Sixers' debut of newly-acquired Jimmy Butler saw Butler put up a 14/4/2 line, accompanied by Joel Embiid's first career triple-double (19/13/10) and JJ Redick's 22 points. Seeing stats like that would indicate an easy win over a lowlier team in the Orlando Magic, right? Not so fast. The Sixers' Achilles Heel remains closing out games, as they watched the Magic go on a 23-0 run...

Before the season started, many wondered how successful the Steelers could be without their star running back Le'veon Bell, as he held out from training camp in search of a new contract. In protest of his franchise tagging, Le'veon was still absent as week 1 rolled around, and it appeared sophomore running back James Conner would have the keys, the question was for how long. As the franchise tag deadline...

The Flyers, who struggled out the gate in the 2018 season, seem to have found their stride as of late with a 6-game point streak, going 5-0-1 in their last 6 games. It's a good sign for the Flyers, as inconsistency riddled the team early on, especially as the team struggled to kill off penalties. All that seemed to be in the rearview on Saturday, as the Flyers dominated the rival Blackhawks with a...

Everything has to go the visiting team’s way to avoid a loss in Tuscaloosa during the Nick Saban era at Alabama. No. 15 Mississippi State couldn’t catch a break in its 24-0 loss to the No. 1 Crimson Tide on Saturday at Bryant Denny Stadium. Some of the wounds were self-inflicted. Others were downright unlucky. As is often the case in T-Town, the madness started on Bama’s first possession of the game...

The Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles aren’t doing well as top dogs. At 4-5, the Eagles are seventh in the NFC wild-card race, just ahead of the 3-6 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and now face the very real risk of missing the playoffs. There is no one single source of blame. They look like last year’s Eagles and they play like last year’s Eagles, but by record, they have been a bad football team....

Panthers @ Steelers -  52 - 21 Pittsberg is starting to heat up as an offense, and the defense is making plays. Not much you can do to stop these guys. Look for the Steelers to fight for a higher playoff spot. As for the Panthers, they drop to 6-3 and they look to get back in the win column against the Lions next week. Redskins @ Buccaneers - 16 - 3 Both offenses produced zero to nothing...

The Sixers missed out on big names this offseason, and and have seemed to be missing a piece so far in the 2018 season. They addressed the missing piece by pulling off a huge trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday, as they traded Robert Covington, Dario Saric, Jerryd Bayless, and a 2022 2nd round pick to Minnesota for All-Star caliber shooting-guard Jimmy Butler. Jimmy Butler, who had significant...

The Golden State Warriors lost more than the game during their 134-111 loss to the visiting Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night at Oracle Arena. Two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry departed the game in the third quarter and didn’t return because of a strained adductor in his left leg. “I’m not nervous. I have nothing to go off of. If this was an ankle, I could tell you four days,...

Alabama (9-0): After winning 29-0 at LSU, the Tide are an easy pick for No. 1 Clemson (9-0): The Tigers looked impressive again in scoring 77 against Louisville Notre Dame (9-0): As long as the Irish stay unbeaten, style points won't matter Michigan (8-1): The Wolverines' defense continues to push people around Georgia (8-1): The Bulldogs have clinched a meeting against Alabama in the SE...

The Thursday Night Football match-up between the Steelers and Panthers was expected to be a competitive game, but the Steelers' quickly turned it into a one-sided affair as they crushed the Panthers 52-21. The game started with a solid drive for an early Panthers' touchdown courtesy of Christian Mccaffrey, who would finish the night with 3 touchdowns, but the script would flip quickly. On the Steelers'...

The Duke Blue Devils took on the Kentucky Wildcats on Tuesday night in the "Champions Classic". Duke took a commanding first half lead as they hung 59 points in a one-sided 118-84 win. Duke studs' carried the load as R.J. Barrett, Zion Williamson, and Cam Reddish combined for over 70% of the Blue Devils points. The Blue Devils didn't step off the gas as they matched their first half score in...

Joel Embiid was a monster Thursday night and the Sixers needed everything he gave them. The Sixers let a 15-point halftime lead evaporate but ultimately held on for a 122-113 win over the Clippers at the Wells Fargo Center. They improved to 5-0 at home and are now back above .500 at 5-4 overall. After playing arguably the best half of their young season, the Sixers played one of their worst quarters,...

There were a flurry of moves in the hours leading up to Tuesday's NFL Trade Deadline. Teams were hungry for players that could help them win now. Contenders such as the Philadelphia Eagles, Houston Texans, and undefeated LA Rams all took advantage of the trade deadline. The two most notable moves both included receivers moving to playoff contenders with the Texans landing Demaryius Thomas from the...

In the hours before making his NFL debut, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens said he got a good night of rest. "I slept good except I woke up about every hour," Mullens said, laughing. "But those hours were great. I slept pretty good." If that qualifies as a good night of sleep, Mullens had to feel as if he were living out a dream Thursday night against the Oakland Raiders. Mullens,...

The first round of the MLS playoffs took place on Wednesday night as the Philadelphia Union took on the New York City FC at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. And yet again, as it always seems to be in Philadelphia, the Union's short-lived run ended quickly in frustration as they fell to the NYCFC 3-1. It was a case of frustrating déjà vu on Wednesday, as the NYCFC beat the Union by the same 3-1 score,...

Since winning the NBA’s MVP award in 2011, Derrick Rose’s story has been mostly about his dispiriting descent into an afterthought, as severe injuries robbed him of his explosiveness and he began a journeyman’s shuffle from team to team. Wednesday night found the 10th-year guard breaking down in tears — but only after submitting one of the season’s most stunning performances, a 50-point explosion...

Returning from their bye week, the Pittsburgh Steelers had more than a football game on their minds on Sunday as they took on the rival Cleveland Browns. On Saturday morning, around 10:30, another act of senseless hate rocked the peaceful town of Squirrel Hill, just outside of center city Pittsburgh. At the Tree Of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill, a gunman entered the place of worship and promptly...

10.) Cam Newton Cam Newton has been the best dual-threat quarterback in recent memory and he has been consistent with his performance this season. In the past, Newton was very inconsistent as every game he had a great chance of succeeding but also a great chance of letting down the organization. Cam has came into his own as he and his team sit atop their division and look to make a playoff run. ...

Davante Adams already had it figured out in his head exactly how the Green Bay Packers would engineer the game-winning drive and hand the Los Angeles Rams their first loss of the season. He and Aaron Rodgers just needed the ball. Much to their dismay, they never got it. Ty Montgomery fumbled the kickoff on a play that was never supposed to happen after the Rams had gone up 29-27 with 2 minutes,...

The Boston Red Sox were the heavy favorite going into the 2018 Fall Classic, and they proved exactly why in nearly every way, as they finished off the Los Angeles Dodgers to win the championship on Sunday night. The bullpen, which was a big question mark at the end of the regular season, stepped up big-time for the Sox, and played a vital role in securing big wins in each series. Pieces like Joe Kelly...

Coach Tyronn Lue’s opportunity to lead the post-LeBron James Cleveland Cavaliers lasted only six games. The Cavaliers abruptly fired Lue on Sunday after an 0-6 start that left them as the only winless team in the Eastern Conference. Lue, 41, has nearly two full seasons and the rest of this season remaining on the five-year, $35 million contract he received after the Cavaliers’ title run in...

P.J. Williams was having a hard time keeping up with Minnesota’s dominant wide receiver duo, with frequent attacks by the Vikings on the third-year nickel cornerback for New Orleans during long touchdown drives each of their first two possessions. Williams and the Saints sure enjoyed their revenge. With assistance on a forced fumble that set up a touchdown late in the second quarter and an...

The argument could be made that the Eagles and Jaguars entered their Week 8 game at Wembley Stadium in London as the most disappointing teams in their respective conferences this season. Things got worse for Jacksonville on Sunday; its 24-18 loss to Philadelphia dropped their record to 3-5 halfway through a season in which Super Bowl expectations were realistic. Then again, since 2011, seven teams...

Make the Jaguars one-dimensional and shut down the run game early. Make Blake Bortles throw the ball and feel uncomfortable in the pocket and the Eagles can easily win this game. Blitz early, and often to make Bortles have to throw on the run or rush his throw. It will open up more opportunities for the defense to turn the ball over. Target the rookie corners early. Carson Wentz has a gun-sl...

1.) Golden State Warriors are still the team to beat. No surprise there. 2.) Denver, Toronto, Milwaukee, New Orleans, and Detroit look like playoff contenders. 3.) Anothony Davis and Giannis Antetokounmpo are young MVP caliber players. 4.) Blake Griffen and Steph Curry both dropped 50 points as leaders of their respective teams. \ 5.) Zach Lavine is breaking out this season. 6.) The...

The Flyers have continued what has been a frustrating last week or so in Philadelphia sports, as the Eagles, Sixers, and Flyers all suffered losses. The Flyers lost 4-1 in a miserable effort vs the Avalanche on Monday night, and against the rival Boston Bruins, they fell flat on their face again as they were shut out 3-0 on Thursday night. The past 2 losses are particularly frustrating, as the offense...

In what turned out to be an unexpectedly entertaining Thursday night affair, the Houston Texans ran their winning streak to five — they started the season 0-3 — and increased their lead in the AFC South by beating the Miami Dolphins, 42-23. Here are three things we learned: Deshaun Watson is Just About All the Way Back: Houston's quarterback hasn't quite lived up to Dabo Swinney's Michae...

It took longer than perhaps most expected, but LeBron James and the new-look Los Angeles Lakers are finally in the win column. James scored 19 points to lead seven players in double figures, and the Lakers rolled past the Phoenix Suns 131-113 for their first win over the season. After dropping three straight to start the year, James did all of his damage in the first three quarters Wednesday night...

If you only saw that Ben Simmons dropped a triple double, and Redick dropped 19 points, you'd think that the Sixers had rebounded from a frustrating loss in Detroit. Nope, they got blasted 123-108 by the Milwaukee Bucks. The Sixers' struggled yet again on Wednesday night, as they allowed Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo to drop a triple double of his own, with 32 points.  The Sixers continued a frustrating...

Two frigid games at Fenway Park left Boston Red Sox fans feeling plenty warm. Now the Los Angeles Dodgers have to hope they can thaw quickly back in sunny California. J.D. Martinez capped yet another Red Sox two-out rally with a two-run single in the fifth inning, lifting Boston to a 4-2 win over Los Angeles in Game 2 of the World Series on Wednesday. The Red Sox lead the 114th Fall Classic 2-0,...

Cleveland Browns franchise Quarterback, Baker Mayfield, is currently 1-3 as a starter. Tyrod Taylor started the season's first 3 games but was hurt in his 3rd game of the season against the New York Jets. So then came Cleveland's new "Pretty Boy" for the next decade, Baker Mayfield. As Mayfield took over the game for the injured Taylor, he showed no signs of nervousness, and he came to the game...

For the 2nd consecutive game, the Sixers were forced to play without last year's Rookie of The Year in star point guard Ben Simmons as he battles lower back tightness. And Simmons' absence has showed. On Sunday night, the Sixers escaped with a nail-biter, a 1-point win over the Orlando Magic, a game in which Simmons' exited very early. The symptoms apparently continued into Tuesday night, as Simmons...

In a back and forth battle between the Dodgers and Red Sox in game 1, the Sox' potent lineup once again proved why they belonged in the World Series as they bashed their way to an 8-4 win. The Red Sox got to Dodgers' starter Clayton Kershaw early, going up 2-0 in the 1st inning. The Dodgers would quickly counter to tie it at 2, as the two teams battled, hit for hit, run for run. The game became a battle...

If you know anything about Flyer's hockey, you know that every season seems to bring about the most incredible whiplash possible. The Flyers have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the league for years, just look at the last 2 seasons. In the 2016-17 season, they went on a 10-game win streak, yet, somehow, missed the playoffs. In 2017-18, they lost 10 in a row, but get this - they still made...

The LA Rams won a one-sided match up against the San Francisco 49ers by a score of  39-10. Aaron Donald and a dominant defense kept taking the ball away for Los Angeles and Todd Gurley turned those turnovers into touchdowns to keep the Rams unbeaten after seven games. Todd Gurley scored three touchdowns and Jared Goff threw two TD passes as the Rams took advantage of four takeaways and a blocked...

We knew the rivalry between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers would be intense this season, however, few anticipated an all-out fistfight like the one that went down on Saturday night at Staples Center. The altercation first seemed to begin as a heated vocal exchange in the 4th quarter, which then quickly escalated as the Lakers' Rajon Rondo allegedly spit on Rockets' Chris Paul, as punches...

The Chiefs looked like the AFC's best team on Sunday night, destroying the Bengals, 45-10. Both teams came into the game atop their respective divisions, and both teams would fall out of first place with a loss. Kansas City made sure the outcome was never in question, jumping out to a 14-0 lead, and stretching it to 24-7 at halftime before cruising through the final 30 minutes. The Chiefs now head...

The Eagles looked well on their way to a comfortable victory over the Panthers on Sunday, leading 17-0 entering the fourth quarter. A win would put Philadelphia over .500 and give Doug Pederson and Co. first place in the NFC East. Cam Newton had other ideas. The Panthers ripped off three consecutive touchdown drives beginning with a 14-yard touchdown run by Curtis Samuel with 10:41 to play, followed...

And then there were 2. The Los Angeles Dodgers outlasted the Milwaukee Brewers in a 7-game series as they punched their ticket to the World Series on Saturday night with a 5-1 win in game 7. The Dodgers will play in their 2nd consecutive World Series, as they fell to the champion Houston Astros in last year's series. This year they're looking for revenge; they'll face the Boston Red Sox, who defeated...

LeBron's Legs Look Fresh at 33 One day he will need a step ladder to dunk, but that day appears far off. On Thursday night, James made two dunks that deserve space in his purple-and-gold time capsule. With the first, coming with 9:21 left in the first quarter, James scored his first official points as a Laker. On a dunk. Perfect, right? But lickety-split, Portland’s Damian Lillard dashed d...

With pro bowl running back Jay Ajayi out for the season with a torn ACL, the Eagles are in need for a NO.1 running back as clearly Sproles, Clement, and Adams cannot carry the load Ajayi once did. Hmmmmmm, I wonder what running back **Le'Veon Bell** could carry the load **Le'Veon Bell** by running the ball about 20 times a game **Le'Veon Bell** and even be a threat as an extra wide receiver! **LE'VEON...

The Denver Broncos and the Arizona Cardinals took the field Thursday night as both teams came into the game with a losing record, and both exited with one. Not a "supreme" football match up, but football is back! There's something to celebrate. Rookie Quarterback Josh Rosen went threw three interceptions and fumbled the ball away twice on a rough night that began badly for him and never got better....

The Boston Red Sox are going back to the World Series for the first time since 2013. The Red Sox made quick work of the defending champion Houston Astros, winning the best-of-7 series 4-1. In game 5 on Thursday night, Red Sox starting pitcher David Price finally overcame his postseason struggles with a dominant performance, backed by the Sox potent offense finally getting the best of Houston's ace...

After a frustrating loss in Boston to open the 2018-19 season on Tuesday night, the Philadelphia 76ers returned home to Philadelphia and handily dismantled the rebuilding Chicago Bulls 127-108 in the home opener.

The Los Angeles Dodgers' trade deadline prize, shortstop Manny Machado, has taken some heat following a handful of controversial plays in the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers.
