The Las Vegas Raiders have had many changes this offseason so far.

Pete Carroll and John Spytek are the new head coach and general manager duo that will do their best to get the franchise back to their winning ways. Carroll and Spytek are now looking forward to free agency in March and the 2025 NFL Draft in April. The Raiders biggest need is clearly a quarterback but there is other pieces…
The Houston Rockets made a few quiet deals ahead of the trade deadline, acquiring Jaden Springer from the Boston Celtics and Cody Zeller from the Atlanta Hawks. The chances of either of those two making some noise for the Rockets is slim, but the team could make some ruckus on the buyout market with a player who will likely be looking for a new home really soon. Memphis Grizzlies point guard Marcus Smart was traded by the team to the NBA-worst Washington Wizards in a four-player, three-team deal. Given Smart’s timeline not matching up with the Wizards, chances are that…

Georgia coach Kirby Smart wouldn’t have been very happy about his team’s performance in Week 3 against Kentucky. However, he didn’t stop praising his quarterback, Carson Beck, after the 13-12 victory over the Wildcats. It was supposed to be an easy day at the office for Georgia, but the Bulldogs barely crossed over the finish line against the resilient Wildcats. Talkin about Beck post-match, the Georgia coach said: “Carson is a great leader. He didn’t panic. He made plays when he had to.” Beck led a clutch final drive, showing his composure by making key throws and even running the…
Carson Beck is a player who is just phenomenal to watch. In his 4 years at Georgia Bulldogs, there would be very few games where he struggled. Still, his 2024 season was still a downgrade by his standards. Be that as it may, his injury late in the season might have cost the Dawgs their third national championship trophy in Kirby Smart’s tenure. But, all that would have been rectified if Smart had done just one thing in his 2024 season. The Bulldogs’ season saw them win the SEC championship title by defeating Texas Longhorns in overtime. They finished their…
