July 4, 2015 was an incredibly dark day in the life of Jason Pierre-Paul and a disappointing one for the New York Giants. That was the day when Pierre-Paul suffered his now-infamous firework accident, which resulted in him severely disfiguring his right hand, including the amputation of the index finger on the hand. Immediate reaction […]

There are a few well-known facts about the game of football, like you get four downs, only 11 men are allowed on the field at a time during play, and a running back cannot be successful without an effective offensive line. All of these are indisputable, but while the first two are rules (so they […]

In the 2011-2012 season, Derrick Rose put together one of the most memorable MVP seasons anyone’s seen in the 21st Century. Since then, unfortunately, Rose has been plagued by major knee injuries and has been virtually unable to play the way he used to. Last season, however, was a ray of hope, as he averaged […]

Philip Rivers is best known as the long-time quarterback for the San Diego Chargers. Now normally, someone who’s been a team’s quarterback for 11 years must have done a few things.

Yeah, I know. It’s only 14 games into an 82-game season, but I’m already putting my vote in for Russell Westbrook in the MVP race.

Finally, after a reported year of giving him second chances and researching into possible replacements, U.S. Soccer officially fired Jurgen Klinsmann following two embarrassing losses, first 2-1 to Mexico in Columbus and then a 4-0 loss to Costa Rica in San José. Klinsmann’s replacement is a familiar face in Bruce Arena, former USMNT manager for […]

When you think of the most polarizing figures in sports today, Conor McGregor’s name is bound to come up. The über-brash fighter from Ireland has spent the last couple of years taking the UFC by storm and went into UFC 205 on Saturday as the reigning featherweight champion. But McGregor went into the landmark event […]

For years, the Dallas Cowboys have been known as “America’s Team.” They’ve consistently been hailed as a team that’s quintessentially American, but they haven’t done the famous American thing called “winning the big one” in over 20 years. In fact, they haven’t even gotten close. What makes the Cowboys interesting is their owner, the oh […]

Earlier today, Real Madrid announced that they’ve resigned Cristiano Ronaldo to a five-year contract through 2021, which will keep him as the highest paid player at the club. Normally, 31-year-olds don’t get five-year contracts with top wages, but then again, Cristiano Ronaldo is far from anyone’s definition of “normal.” Leading up to this announcement, people […]

In case you haven’t realized it yet, understand this: the Knicks are for real and we saw exactly what they’re capable of as a team on Friday night. After a few games filled with mediocrity, the Knicks marched into Chicago and soundly beat a streaking Bulls team. For the first time this season, the Knicks […]
