It’s safe to say that the Russell Wilson/Sean Payton beef still exists. The Seattle Seahawks great and former Denver Broncos quarterback left the Broncos on bad terms after he was benched by Sean Payton with two weeks left in the 2023 regular season. Denver wasn’t mathematically eliminated from the playoffs yet, but reportedly the Broncos […]
A former No. 32 overall pick was among the visitors to Gillette Stadium to begin the week. The New England Patriots hosted defensive backs Lewis Cine, Marcus Banks and Tre Hawkins III for workouts on Tuesday, according to the transaction wire. Cine, 26, was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the first round of the […]

This was an odd Philadelphia Eagles defensive performance to assess, as it was far from perfect on a down-to-down basis, but full of big plays that swung the game. The defense gave up yardage and made mistakes, yet still created two interceptions, scored a defensive touchdown, and held the Minnesota Vikings to just one touchdown […]
The Utah Jazz enter this season with a lot less question marks than in years past. This offseason, Austin Ainge finally traded Jordan Clarkson, Collin Sexton, and John Collins which has freed up the minutes for their youth to play and develop. It was refreshing to see the Jazz make moves with their team goals […]
Not only does the NBA officially return on Tuesday night, but there is a whole new way to enjoy the action this season!

The Houston Rockets are back, ladies and gentlemen! Not just back playing again (that, too), but back in contending status heading into the season. Sure, the Rockets finished second in the Western Conference last season, which measures up as a viable contender (especially in the West) but that wasn’t expected. The Rockets caught everyone by […]
