Today is the day. The Cleveland Browns and the Houston Texans are meeting up in the AFC Wild Card playoff game. The two teams will face off at NRG Stadium in Houston and major third-party ticket websites like Vivid Seats, StubHub, SeatGeek, TicketCity, MegaSeats and Ticketmaster are still selling seats to the must-watch game. The ticket prices have hovered around $100 for most of this week so it’s a great opportunity for Browns and Texans fans to see their teams in action live without breaking the bank. I found the cheapest single tickets for the game today as…
Anthony Elanga remains an injury doubt ahead of Nottingham Forest’s Premier League clash against Brentford next weekend. The 21-year-old has been one of Forest’s standout performers this season following his £15 million move from Manchester United last summer. Elanga missed Forest’s 2-2 draw against Blackpool in the FA Cup third round last Sunday after he suffered a knock during the victory against United on December 30 Espirito Santo has already ruled Elanga out of Forest’s FA Cup replay against Blackpool next Wednesday, which indicates that the winger may not be fully fit for the team’s trip to Brentford on January 20. When asked about the extent…
The NFL made a controversial decision Friday on the location for the Buffalo Bills’ Wild Card matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Buffalo is expected to have a severe winter storm hit during the game scheduled for early Sunday afternoon. Reports came out Thursday that the league could move the contest to Cleveland. However, the NFL refuted the report. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Friday morning the NFL was monitoring weather conditions after the National Weather Service updated the expected conditions around Highmark Stadium for Sunday’s game. It might be too “difficult” or “impossible” for fans to travel to the game: Heavy…
On Thursday, the star-studded Phoenix Suns made easy work of the division-rival Los Angeles Lakers, with Bradley Beal having one of his best performances yet with his new team as he lit up LeBron James and company for a game-high 37 points. Even though the win over the Lakers was a great sign that the team might be progressing after consecutive losses to the Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Clippers, Phoenix could be one of the teams attempting to improve its roster ahead of the NBA trade deadline on February 8. x 2 seconds of 47 seconds On Thursday, the…
The Green Bay Packers are looking to make a statement on Sunday. Their first year with Jordan Love under center resulted in a playoff berth. Something his predecessor, Aaron Rodgers, was unable to do. However, the Packers are far from being considered a Super Bowl contender this season. A win could change that. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are also looking to make a statement. The last time they advanced to the NFC Championship game was in 1995. Dallas wants to prove to the world that they are a real championship contending team. Today, the Packers brought back a familiar…
It’s impossible to celebrate the greatest team in the history of the Chicago Bulls — and perhaps all time — without Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman. But the Bulls attempted to do just that this week, celebrating the 1995-96 team as the first to be inducted into the Ring of Honor without the three players who formed the center of gravity for that r There would be no 1996 championship without Jordan’s improbable return in 1995. It’s impossible to talk about the 1996 Finals without recalling Rodman’s smirking, terrorizing performances against the Seattle SuperSonics. And the Bulls’…
As the two seed in the AFC, the Buffalo Bills will host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday afternoon in Super Wild Card Weekend round of the NFL Playoffs, but they’ll be doing so without at least two starters. On Friday, the Bills announced that both wide receiver Gabe Davis and safety Taylor Rapp had been ruled out of this weekend’s game. Davis injured his knee in the first half of Buffalo’s Week 18 AFC East division-clinching game in Miami. It wasn’t much of a surprise that the Bills’ WR2 wouldn’t be playing this week as he was unable to return for the second half of…
After the Phoenix Suns dismantled the Los Angeles Lakers last night, Kevin Durant issued a strong statement on Bradley Beal. Beal scored a season-high 37 points against the Lakers and Durant enjoyed the show. “It’s been fun being around Brad and seeing his mentality and his IQ for the game,” Durant said of Beal, via Mark Medina of Sportskeeda. “When you’re around teams that don’t have successful post-season runs like he was a part of the past few years, people tend to question your IQ and intelligence for the game. But when you’re around Brad, he sees and…
Don’t expect a Pascal Siakam extension with the Toronto Raptors. With the 29-year-old All-Star forward heading into free agency this summer, extension talks have “not gotten anywhere,” ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski said on NBA Today. The Raptors declined to offer Siakam an extension over the summer and a deal does not appear to be imminent with just less than a month to go before the trade deadline. Without a new contract, Siakam is going to have a lot of control over where he’s traded to, Wojnarowski added. He can essentially veto a trade by conveying to interested teams that he will…
After a career year with 36 tackles, four interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), ten passes defended, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery, Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson was named to the Second Team Al-Pro Team. The First Team All-Pro corners were DaRon Bland from the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Jets’ Sauce Gardner, and the other Second Team corner was Charvarius Ward from the San Francisco 49ers. It could be argued that Johnson was the best cornerback in the NFL this year, but he’ll have to settle for the Second Team and his first Pro Bowl…
