And then the second is when you are about to face-off against Rico Dowdle in a revenge game. If that’s the case…you best buckle tf up! CMC. Saquon Barkley. James Cook. Derrick Henry. These are some of the household names when it comes to NFL running backs. In a league with 32 different teams, each of which have t

Al Bello // Getty Images Confusing time to be a New York sports fan right now. Here’s something that isn’t confusing: Cam Skattebo ran for 3 TDs last night as the Giants THUMPED the reigning Super Bowl Champs If there was any consolation prize for what happened in the Bronx on Wednesday night, what happened 24 hours later in MetLife stadium wan’t to bad. The Eagles came into East Rutherford with vengeance on their mind of their bad loss at home against the Denver Broncos. The

FS1 Broadcast “Aaron Judge is a regular season player”. This was the narrative coming into Game 3! What do the great ones do in the face of elimination? They show up! WOW! Yesterday night the Yankees were down 6-1 heading into the bottom of the third inning in Game 3 of the ALDS. They had gotten the breaks beaten off of them in the first two games and it looked like it was going to be the same story in Game 3. The Blue Jays had their number all year, why would anything be dif

I think it’s only right that some days we do a full recap of what just went down in the world of sports. We had a jam packed weekend of action! Here are all the bullet points to know! NFL 🤯 Undefeated no more! Two big Stumpsets yesterday with the Broncos beating the Eagles in Philly, 21-17, and the Pats beating the Bills in Buffalo, 23-20! The league is WIDE OPEN! 🏈 Some more Stumpsets for you! The Cam Ward led Titans got their first win of the year against the Arizona Card

In a win-or-go-home Game 3 in the AL Wild Card Series between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox, both squads sent out rookie pitchers in the biggest games of their lives! What we saw last night ended up being one of the greatest pitching performances in recent memory! Let’s start with the stat line. 8 innings pitched, 12 strikeouts, 0 walks, and 0 earned runs. This was the stat line of Yankees 24-year old Cam Schlittler. Not only is that a phenomenal stat line for a

One of the coolest things in postseason runs is when teams overachieve. Doing it full strength is one thing, but doing it without your superstar is something else entirely. The underdog is one of the great aspects of sports. When a team has no business making a late postseason run, but they do it anyway, it’s special. I immediately think to NC State in the NCAA Tournament, the NY Giants in 2008, Tiger Woods in 2018. When people don’t think you have it in you to make a run, an

In a world of cookie-cutter interview answers, sometimes we get refreshing honestly. We got some up that yesterday. I want to take a second to talk about the team that I’m sure everybody is lining up to write articles about today! The 0-4 Tennessee Titans. This team isn’t great. That’s just the way it goes sometimes during the rebuilding process. A rookie QB, not a lot of pieces on both sides of the ball, a second year Head Coach. It all adds up an unfortunately for Tennessee

On Wednesday we talked about greatness, and enjoying it while it’s here. LeBron is an anomaly, performing at that level at this point in his career in ridiculous. What about the athletes who are not what they used to be. The way they handle that realization sure is something. A Dart was thrown this week, we’ll have to wait until Sunday to see where it lands, but what we did already get was a Russell Wilson reaction. The number of interviews athletes have to do is insane. Pre-

Just this past weekend, I found myself at a diner at midnight with the boys all the way back from Middle School. It’s usually those conversations that could go all over the place. In stereotypical ‘guys talking sports’ fashion, the obvious came up… “Yeah, he went 6-0 in Finals, but what about all the years before the championships? What about the years after? He just didn’t have the longevity. Jordan doesn’t even come close to LeBron.” The good ‘ole G.O.A.T debate! I honestly

This was the first Game Seven in the NBA Finals since 2016 (the forever cemented 3-1 comeback by LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavs). That was our last benchmark. Against all odds, like they have done all year, the Indiana Pacers fought. The early headline was heartbreaking, as Tyrese Haliburton (who started out ON FIRE!!!! With 9 points off three deep threes) li

The Oklahoman Under normal circumstances, the Indiana Pacers would be thrilled to split two games on the road against a team of the Oklahoma City Thunder's caliber. But nothing about this series screams 'normal'. Let’s Recap: Game One of the 2025 NBA Finals ended just about as well for Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers could have prayed for. The Oshkosh, Wisconsin native sunk yet another go-ahead winner (his fourth) of these playoffs to stun the Thunder on their home c

Most people expected Oklahoma City Thunder to represent the Western Conference. But that might just be the Indiana Pacers' greatest advantage heading into Game One Via ESPN Game One of the 2025 NBA Finals is set for 8:30 EST on Thursday, June 5 . The Thunder enter the series as heavy favorites for both the opening match and the series result. However, to truly predict the outcome, one must revisit just what makes this matchup so fascinating.
