Earlier this week, Ohio State football quarterback Devin Brown tweeted a cryptic message to Buckeye Nation that had many confused. Once the tweet was explained, it became perfectly clear what Brown was saying, and the mood in the fanbase instantly flipped. The painting that Brown tweeted was that of multiple...

With the 2023-24 transfer portal officially three days old, several top quarterbacks have already made commitments. After Tyler Van Dyke announced last week he would be transferring, it was clear the Miami football team would be looking for a 2024 starting QB. Jacurri Brown is currently the only healthy Miami scholarship QB.

For the first time since the 1983-84 regular season, a professional NBA game will be played in Las Vegas this week. The inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament, which Forbes tabbed as a major TV ratings success, will host its semifinals and finals at T-Mobile Arena on Thursday and Saturday night.

The Houston Rockets have been better than expected at this point in the season. The Rockets have gone nearly undefeated at home (8-1) and haven't been able to win on the road at all (0-8). All in all, however, they sit 10th in the Western Conference and have missed key...

A Michigan woman has been missing for almost three years. As the anniversary of this case approaches, I want to highlight the story of Jennifer Blackmon, who disappeared on December 22, 2020.

Detroit, MI

The Detroit Lions have a whole lot more to prove this season, as the regular slate is not yet over and they're thinking about a postseason run. It's been a great season, as a whole, for this Lions team. But, as the year winds down, we can't help but look forward just a bit.

Charlotte, NC

The 2023-24 season continues to be a struggle for the Charlotte Hornets, and not having LaMelo Ball in their lineup currently makes winning at a high rate very unlikely. With the team inching toward an inevitable midseason sell-off, the time has come to identify which players could be on their way out by the end of the season.

We learn some interesting things from an Oregon Live article written on Nov. 28 by Maxine Bernstein, such as Kristin Kinkel, the older sister of Kip Kinkel, the 1998 Thurston High School shooter, explaining why she thinks her brother should be let out of prison.

Chicago's Mayor Johnson intensifies enforcement efforts to decrease migrant Influx as winter challenges loom. Mayor Brandon Johnson's administration in Chicago has initiated legal proceedings against what they term as "rogue buses" responsible for transporting migrants. This enforcement action is part of a broader strategy by the city to intensify efforts in managing the surge of new arrivals, proving to be one of the mayor's most complex challenges.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Buck firearm season begins on Monday, Nov. 20 in all but four West Virginia counties. As one of the most popular hunting seasons in the state, the two-week period which this year runs through Dec. 3 sees a large harvest of deer -- nearly 49,000 in 2022 alone.

The 2023 NFL season is starting to wind down, as the calendar turns to December, and the Las Vegas Raiders come off their bye week. After losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12, the Raiders have had some time to reevaluate, and the hope is that Antonio Pierce will have his team ready to go on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.

UPDATE: Drew Lock was named the Seattle Seahawks' Week 14 starting quarterback during pregame warmups, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Geno Smith attempted to play through a groin injury suffered this week, but wasn't able to go at full strength in pregame warmups. The original story can be viewed below.

Green Bay, WI

The Green Bay Packers' defense is built to stop pass-first teams like the Kansas City Chiefs. They need to adjust to stop the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. Defensive coordinator Joe Barry tends to play soft coverages to keep everything in front of the players. It limits big plays and forces opponents to throw short and rely on yards after catch, but it also invites the run.

Joe Barry must show willingness to change for Packers to beat Giants

Boston, MA

Over the last twenty years, Boston sports teams have spent through the roof to win championships. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft did everything needed to win championships, and he was willing to empty his pockets. However, since the departure of Tom Brady, Kraft has been reluctant to spend money, and he has now become the cheapest owner in Boston.

Cleveland, OH

Thus far this season, it’s been a mixed bag for Cleveland Cavaliers lead guard Darius Garland. Garland was having issues getting into a rhythm early on, hasn’t quite been able to fully take advantage from three-point range yet and has had problems with turnovers. He’s been among the league leaders in giveaways this year to this point, and there have been games where he’s forced passes into tight windows too often.

Darius Garland’s contributions here for Cavs have long been underrated

Portland, OR

The Portland Trail Blazers weren't shy this offseason about their goal to build for the future, not win in the present. Still, the team brought back high-priced free agent forward Jerami Grant, who has been productive but doesn't necessarily fit snugly into the franchise's timeline. That doesn't mean general manager...

NBA trade rumors: Blazers have chance to make dream deal with upstart East contender

The 2023-24 season has only just begun, yet the Chicago Bulls have been no trade rumors this year. After another offseason of relative inactivity, a shockingly poor 5-14 season seems to have forced the front office's hand to begin making moves. Whether they intend to keep the Bulls in a competitive — and I use that word very loosely here — state or initiate a rebuild remains to be seen, but it's becoming increasingly clear that this team needs changes.
