Memphis, TN

The Memphis Grizzlies are a team in rotational disarray, as they find themselves with numerous positions in need of some answers. Easily their biggest need resides at the three spot, as there has been a glaring vacancy in this area since the departure of long-tenured starter Dillon Brooks this past offseason.

ClutchPoints' Mike Cruz believes the Boston Celtics must consider a trade for Payton Pritchard during the 2023-24 season -- and that several Chicago Bulls vets, guard Alex Caruso and center Andre Drummond, are the ideal targets in a swap. "There are veteran players on relatively cheap deals the Celtics can...

Bleacher Report's Dan Favale is in disbelief that Hornets general manager Mitch Kupchak is resisting trade overtures on the Boston Celtics' 2017 max signing, Gordon Hayward, given Charlotte's unlikelihood to compete in the postseason with their roster as is. "Numerous 'playoff-caliber teams have called' the Charlotte Hornets about acquiring Gordon...

Georgia State

Tuscaloosa, AL

Nothing is scarier than this Alabama football team playing with house money in Atlanta. This is the first time that I can think of since the 2008 SEC Championship game when Alabama has been such an underdog going into the SEC Championship game. We know what is at stake for Georgia as they are looking to win their third straight National Championship Game. To this point Georgia has run through the regular season for their third straight undefeated regular season, and on paper seem to be the strongest among teams that are still in playoff contention. Alabama on the other hand as well documented has had anything but an easy path to Atlanta. Now that we are on the eve of the championship game the path that these two SEC powerhouses got to Atlanta don’t matter. There have been some very entertaining games between these the Crimson Tide and Bulldogs over the last decade from regular season matchups, SEC Championship game matchups and of course two National title games.

Oregon State

Washington, DC

It’s still surreal that Oregon and Washington just played the final Pac-12 Championship game ever. It’s even more surreal that it ended in absolutely thrilling fashion. Sure, perhaps Washington State and Oregon State remain member schools, and maybe there’s a future in which the league is kept alive and repopulated with the likes of Boise State or San Diego State, but the conference as we know it is over.

Cleveland, OH

2023 was as unkind to Cleveland Guardians outfielder Oscar Gonzalez as 2022 was generous, as the hulking slugger seemingly turned from peppy Spongebob to world-weary Squidward overnight. Now, it's the Yankees' job to bottle Gonzalez's effervescence and see if they can recapture what made him a playoff monster last October against (sigh) them. It was against them.

Nebraska State

Lincoln, NE

The Nebraska football team has a second chance to reel in a legacy recruit now that James Monds III has entered the transfer portal from Indiana. While most Nebraska football fans are hoping that the Huskers managed to pull a quarterback transfer out of the portal, it’s a strong bet that Matt Rhule and company will try and boost more than a few different position groups.

The Pittsburgh Steelers roster is filled with talent on both sides of the ball, which has propelled them to a 7-4 start, and into the thick of the playoff push. Despite injuries and poor play from some, the Steelers have managed to overcome these things and would have the fifth seed in the AFC if the season ended today.

South Carolina State

Columbia, SC

South Carolina football fans had the privilege of watching the most talented quarterback in school history these past two seasons. Spencer Rattler had some rough cards dealt to him (poor offensive line play, struggling offensive play callers, an anemic run game to support him, and a defense that oftentimes kept him off the field), but he still was one of the country’s top signal-callers this season.

The Cincinnati Reds have already been linked to starting pitcher Shane Bieber. The former Cy Young Award-winner is currently being shopped by the Cleveland Guardians. But an interesting nugget from the New York Post's Jon Heyman gives a newfound reason that could see these latest Reds rumors gain even more steam. According to Heyman, Bieber is open to a long-term contract extension with the team that would be trading for his services.

This Sunday Night Football match-up isn't as important to Cincinnati Bengals fans as we might have previously thought, as the 5-6 Bengals probably aren't a threat for the number one seed in the AFC playoff picture anymore. That being said, Bengals fans will enjoy rooting against a rival this week on Sunday night.
