Why C.J. Stroud is about to have a career year
There’s a mantra in the world of commission selling that states “You’re only as good as your last sale.” Well, the same thing applies in many ways in pro sports. At least as far as a segment of every fan base is concerned. That modified mantra is “You’re only as good as your last game.” […]
Drake Maye not concerned about Mike Vrabel situation negatively impacting Patriots
Even though they are coming off a Super Bowl berth and fielding one of the most exciting young quarterbacks in football, the main story surrounding the New England Patriots in recent week has been the situation involving their head coach, Mike Vrabel, and NFL reporter Dianna Russini.

‘A guy who’s gonna give it his all’ — An interview with Max Iheanachor’s college coach
While most had Arizona State offensive tackle Max Iheanachor in the first-round conversation entering the 2026 NFL Draft, not many thought that the Pittsburgh Steelers would be the team to take him off the board — not even Iheanachor’s college coach. This week, I had the pleasure of chatting with Saga Tuitele, Arizona State’s offensive […]

Three big men that can help the Celtics
After exceeding expectations during the regular season, the Boston Celtics ultimately fell short, underperforming in a seven-game series loss to the seventh-seeded Philadelphia 76ers.

Twitter Gold: Austin Rivers And Draymond Green Are Beefing

When the dust had settled on the New England Patriots’ 2026 NFL Draft, they had brought in nine new players — from first-round offensive tackle Caleb Lomu to seventh-round edge Quintayvious Hutchins. In between, they filled some needs and bolstered the overall depth across their roster. They also added some high-end athleticism, even though that […]
