Many fans around the NFL would like to see ultra-talented New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley take his talents to somewhere other than a Giants franchise that has been absolutely terrible since his arrival. But, once again, Barkley has made it known that his wishes are to remain a Giant. Barkley, who was threatened with the Franchise Tag before agreeing to a one-year deal with the team during training camp prior to the season, is a pending free agent heading into the 2024 offseason. On Wednesday, Saquon Barkley spoke out about his future contract situation and impending free…
The timing of our first Sunderland rivalry clash since 2016 could not be worse for Newcastle. We have lost seven of our past eight games in all competitions and five of our last six Premier League games. As a result, we have fallen to ninth place in the league standings, having been only two points ahead of fourth place just two weeks ago. In the two matches that were not in the Premier League, we lost 2-1 at home to AC Milan in Europe and lost 4-2 on penalties to Chelsea in the Carabao Cup following a 1-1 draw after…
Chicago’s season will come to a close in Green Bay on Sunday, when the Bears will finish without a winning record for the 5th season in a row and 10th time in the last 11 years. Since the Bears are already out of the playoff race, the game itself is fairly inconsequential for them, but the offseason that follows it will be hugely important, as Chicago will have to decide whether to stay the course or make a change at both head coach and quarterback. I already examined Chicago’s decision about Fields yesterday, so today I want to take…
It’s been a long, arduous road for the New York Giants this season, but in just a few days, a season once filled with loads of promise that fell off the rails will finally be over. And what better way to end things than with the Giants hosting a visit from the Philadelphia Eagles, who are competing with the Cowboys for the NFC East title? The Eagles would need to beat the Giants, while Dallas would need to lose to Washington for that to happen. And while the odds of both happening are unlikely, you never know what could happen.…
PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns are set to play the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night, and they won’t have Kevin Durant’s services. Durant has been ruled out with his hamstring injury, according to the team. Durant missed Monday night’s victory against the Portland Trail Blazers due to the same injury. He’s missed five games thus far due to ankle and foot ailments as well. Many speculated Durant was being rested due on the second night of a back-to-back, though coach Frank Vogel refuted that thought and said he tweaked his hamstring in the fourth quarter vs…
In a match between two titans of the game, the Oklahoma City Thunder upset the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night. Up to the very end, it was a back-and-forth battle, with OKC winning 127-123. With a 26-7 record, Boston is still the greatest team in the league despite the loss, and they will definitely have the best chance of winning the NBA title in 2023–2024. Boston tied the game late, cutting the lead in the fourth quarter with several trips to the free line. Josh Giddey scored two big free throws to end the game, but the Thunder showed resiliency.…
General Manager Ryan Poles has the Chicago Bears in position to do something fantastic this offseason. What that ends up being is anyone’s guess right now, but just being in a position to draft the top quarterback in the class or trade back to bolster his roster means that he and the Bears once again control the offseason. Chicago is top ten in 2024 effective salary cap space at nearly $40 million, and while there could be an extension or two done, there are also a few veteran cuts made to offset the deals. But it’s their second consecutive…
The AFC South-leading Jacksonville Jaguars (9-7) will play the Tennessee Titans (5-11) at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn on Sunday. If the Jaguars – who snapped a four-game losing streak with a 26-0 victory over the Carolina Panthers at EverBank Stadium Sunday – win, they will win a second consecutive AFC South title.

Deebo Samuel made his intentions clear: he plans to play in the 49ers season finale on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Speaking on the ‘Up and Adams’ show with Kay Adams on Tuesday, Samuel said the 49ers offense is continuing to prepare as if it were a normal game, despite having already clinched the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Head coach Kyle Shanahan hasn’t yet decided which starters will play, but Samuel made it sound like the offense wants to maintain its momentum from last Sunday, when they knocked off the Washington Commanders, 27-10. “You…
The Baltimore Ravens have locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoff bracket, so why play their starters in Week 18? Coach John Harbaugh and company are pondering that question ahead of Saturday’s season finale against the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers, whose own playoff dreams will be on the line. The Ravens (13-3) thrashed the Miami Dolphins 56-19 last Sunday for their sixth straight victory, clinching the AFC North and a first-round playoff bye in the process. Lamar Jackson threw more touchdown passes (five) than incompletions (three) as public support grew for the quarterback to win his second NFL…
