With the Super Bowl firmly in the past — at least there’s one Philadelphia team succeeding — sports’ fans attentions return squarely to the NBA, where Luka Dončić appears set to make his debut as a Los Angeles Laker tonight as part of a 10-game slate of hoops action. All of the games except for […]

After missing the Kansas City Chiefs’ first three Super Bowl titles of their dynastic run while with the Cleveland Browns, Kareem Hunt is hungry for a shot at redemption. The 29-year-old became a star early in his career with Kansas City, when he won the rushing title in his rookie season in 2017. His career […]

For the third year in a row, there the Kansas City Chiefs are, just 60 minutes away from another Lombardi Trophy. And for the second time in three years, so are the Philadelphia Eagles, who narrowly dropped Super Bowl LVII to the Chiefs two seasons ago, 38-35. During that game, Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown […]

Prior to the 2024-25 season, the NFL made a drastic change, introducing the Dynamic Kickoff, where kicking team and receiving team members — with the exception of the kicker and two returners — must line up within five yards of each other on the receiving team’s 35- and 40-yard line, respectively and can’t move until […]

Long gone are the days of the winning pocket passer. The last pure pocket passer remaining in the NFL Playoffs was eliminated in the Divisional Round, when Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles sent Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams back to Southern California empty-handed.

With the whirlwind trade deadline finally in the rear-view mirror, the NBA looks a lot different than it did just a few days ago. Some of the top teams, like the Oklahoma City Thunder and Boston Celtics, stood pat. But others — the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks, especially — made significant moves to […]

Sometimes, football’s biggest game is determined long before the final whistle blows, if a team has a significant lead and can just run down the clock, pick up a final first down, and kneel out the victory. For most people, the most exciting games end on game-winning touchdown drives. But to me, there’s nothing more […]

Arguably the most shocking trade deadline in NBA history has come and gone, and after a few years of mostly dull deadlines, basketball is the talk of the sports world, even though there are only three days left until the Super Bowl.

Records are records for a reason, but they’re there to be broken. Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is used to breaking them. The Super Bowl rushing record was set 37 years ago, when Washington’s Timmy Smith rushed for 204 yards in a 42-10 decimation over the Denver Broncos. What’s more, Smith required only 22 […]
