During Saturday’s Week 18 slate, NFL fans are set to be treated to the best type of season finale, in which the winner goes on to claim its conference’s first seed and the loser falls all the way to No. 5 and has to play (in all likelihood) multiple road games. When the San Francisco […]

For the second consecutive season, the NFC South will come down to the final day. Unlike 2024, however, the 2025 NFC South will be decided by a direct battle, with the winner of Saturday’s 4:30 p.m. ET clash between the Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers most likely winning the division and claiming the fourth […]

The start of the calendar year is a time for optimism, as people look clear-eyed at the year ahead. Where NBA teams fit into that mood is less clear, since the league operates on an October-to-June calendar, but the start of the year is a good time to celebrate youth and potential, so it’s fitting […]

Once again, Luka Dončić and the Los Angeles Lakers have been caught in the cross-hairs of social media discourse.

Each team still has work to do in re-setting its focus on a new young core (for Dallas, Cooper Flagg, and for Philadelphia, the Tyrese Maxey-VJ Edgecombe guard duo), but both at least have a direction. […]

On the opening day of the 2025-26 season, Philadelphia 76ers rookie VJ Edgecombe captivated NBA fans with a 34-point performance, the highest-scoring NBA debut since Wilt Chamberlain in 1959. The fact that, two and a half months later, Edgecombe arguably isn’t even playing like a top three rookie is a testament to the strength and […]

Perhaps no team has embodied perfect mediocrity over the past several seasons over the Atlanta Hawks, so it makes sense that their record since the start of 2025 is within 10 games of .500 at 37-46. Atlanta will finish out 2025 with a home game at 3 p.m. ET against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who have […]
