Aaron Rodgers’ misdirection gives Jordan Love the opportunity to shine and couldn’t have come at a better time

Western Conference beware, Nikola Jokić and the Denver Nuggets have a new weapon in their arsenal
The Denver Nuggets have struggled a bit to start the 2021-22 season.

Buster Posey goes out like he came in... on top
The “going out on top” card rarely gets played. Mostly, it’s just because there’s too much money to be had for any player that was once great. There’s too much money for really any player to play a game for a living, no matter how physically taxing. Which you can’t blame them for. Unlike most every ...

It’s not time to push the panic button on the Dallas Stars
It’s been three weeks since the start of the NHL season. In those three weeks, the Dallas Stars have played nine games, but have only scored nine goals 5-on-5.

Zion may not have stopped trying, but it certainly looks like he has
Whenever I watch a nature special and we get to the point where that one wildebeest is starting to straggle and the lions are slowly creeping up, I feel bad for the prey.
