Less than a second ago, NBA fans were concerned that the center position was dying. Now, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Sure, Karl-Anthony Towns, Domantas Sabonis, Joel Embiid, and the two men playing tonight — Victor Wembanyama and Nikola Jokić — aren’t your rim-running, post-bashing bigs of the 2000’s. But Towns, Wembanyama, and […]

Football apparently runs through the North; in the NFC, three of the division’s four teams have already secured their spots in the postseason, while in the AFC, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens are in and the Cincinnati Bengals have a chance of joining them. Baltimore’s record is one game better than Pittsburgh’s, but the […]

After a rough start to the season, the Milwaukee Bucks have steadily climbed up the Eastern Conference standings. Milwaukee has won 15 of its last 21 games and sits fifth in the conference with a 17-14 record.

The Chicago Bulls might not necessarily need Zach LaVine tonight to beat the Washington Wizards, who have the third-worst net rating in NBA history. But having the services of a six-foot-five, high-flying shooting guard who is averaging 22.0 points per game and shooting 44.7% from deep is never a bad thing. Thankfully for Bulls fans, […]

When the PGA TOUR’s 2025 season gets underway on Thursday at The Sentry, golf fans can expect lots of birdies. The Plantation Course at Kapalua, which has hosted the tournament for the last 27 years, has been the easiest course on the PGA TOUR’s regular circuit, with a scoring average of -4.64.

NBA fans might have thought that the Chicago Bulls would finally slide towards the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings after giving up DeMar DeRozan in a sign-and-trade deal in the offseason.

Barkley ($8,600) will end his inaugural campaign in Philadelphia […]

In their first game of 2025, the Houston Rockets will face the Dallas Mavericks in a top-of-the-West clash that would’ve had a lot more intrigue if not for the calf strain that Mavericks star Luka Dončić suffered on Christmas Day. Still, Dallas has been fairly competitive when Kyrie Irving plays without his co-star, so tonight’s […]

It was a pretty good 2024 for Nikola Jokić. The Denver Nuggets center won his third MVP in four seasons, took home a bronze medal for Serbia at the Olympic Games, and welcomed his second child into the world. Jokić surely hopes that 2025 brings more good fortune, including a run at his fourth MVP […]
