Fresh off his 62-point performance against the Charlotte Bobcats on Jan. 24, Carmelo Anthony is the talk of New York City basketball right now. He’s also a free agent at the end of the season, thanks to a player option in his contract, and his team has been dreadful and dysfunctional this season to say […]

The four teams remaining on championship Sunday in the NFL this weekend– the Denver Broncos, New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks– all bring unique styles of play to the gridiron. Denver’s Peyton Manning has shattered passing records this year while the Patriots’ team evolution continues to account for personnel losses. San Francisco’s […]

Jay Gruden’s resume is pretty extensive. After achieving perennial success in the Arena Football League, Gruden has kept his last name unblemished as the younger brother of former head coach and current NFL analyst for ESPN Jon Gruden. Despite his experience and accolades, Jay Gruden has entered uncharted territory as a first-time head coach with […]

Rumors have been circulating since last summer about a potential Carmelo Anthony-for-Blake Griffin trade that would swap mega-stars between two mega-cities. Anthony, on the last year of his deal and playing as a lame duck for the flailing New York Knicks, and Griffin, the Los Angeles Clippers super-talented 24-year-old power forward, certainly don’t lack for […]

Not so long ago, Andrew Bynum was a pivotal piece in the Los Angeles Lakers’ back-to-back championships in 2009 and 2010. After a failed first year away from California as the key figure in a supposed rebirth of the Philadelphia 76ers, Bynum signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers after sitting out every game the previous season. […]

Fresh off his return from an Achilles injury, Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant is on the mend again, this time with a fractured bone in his left knee. At age 35, Bryant was averaging just less than 14 points per game to go along with 6.3 assists as the Lakers had inserted him in […]

Though three games remain on their 2013 schedule, the Washington NFL team’s season is officially over. With the team free-falling into the offseason at 3-10, the only place for Washington to go is even further down. Head coach Mike Shanahan elected this week to bench Robert Griffin III for the rest of the season in […]

At 8-9, the Chicago Bulls aren’t out of the Eastern Conference playoff race, even with star point guard Derrick Rose sidelined again by injury. If the postseason started next week, the Bulls would enter as the seventh seed in what is clearly a down year for the conference. That down year, however, might be all […]

At 3-8 and virtually out of the playoff hunt, the Washington NFL team is playing for next season. The defense has been horrid and the offense has been all but invisible the last few weeks. But despite poor special teams play, bad play calling and a laughable pass defense, the quarterback play of Robert Griffin […]

After suffering a torn meniscus in his right knee on Nov. 22, Chicago Bulls superstar point guard Derrick Rose has now endured two major knee injuries to both ligaments in less than three years. Known for his trademark speed, quickness and athleticism, Rose was a lock to command stardom simply based on his agility. But […]

The world got a chance to see the top two NBA prospects early last week when freshmen Andrew Wiggins of Kansas and Duke’s Jabari Parker headlined a Duke-Kansas matchup, a game that Kansas ended up winning. With the top two likely choices in next spring’s NBA draft squaring off in a head-to-head tilt, scouts and […]

The NFL dominated headlines this week after reports surfaced that the Miami Dolphins had suspended veteran guard Richie Incognito for “conduct detrimental to the team.” According to reports, Incognito allegedly bullied his teammate, second-year left tackle, Jonathan Martin, by verbally abusing him through the form of hazing throughout Martin’s two seasons with the Dolphins. Reports […]
