The 1 p.m. games were chaos, and somehow the 4:25 window decided it wanted a turn too. Philadelphia nearly blew a game to Washington before surviving a late two-point conversion. Green Bay looked like it had Minnesota handled until the Vikings completely flipped the game in the second half. Arizona went into Los Angeles and beat the Chargers by double digits. Las Vegas looked much more competent than I expected with Kirk Cousins, while Miami already looks like it might be in

The first full NFL Sunday of the 2026 season gave us basically everything you could possibly ask for. Chicago scored 59 points. Baltimore looked like a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Josh Allen and C.J. Stroud traded punches until the final seconds. Detroit almost blew a three-touchdown lead and needed overtime. Cincinnati forced four turnovers. The Jets actually looked like a functional football team. T.J. Watt won Pittsburgh a game almost by himself. And then there were m

The first real NFL Sunday of the year is finally here. We already got Seattle beating New England on Wednesday and San Francisco stunning the Rams in Australia on Thursday, but today is when the season actually starts to feel normal again. Thirteen games, RedZone running all afternoon, fantasy teams immediately ruining friendships and everyone convincing themselves by about 2:15 that whatever happened in the preseason clearly meant everything. For betting purposes, Week 1 is

Michigan is 2-0. That is the good news. The bad news is that I still have absolutely no idea how good this football team actually is. A week after needing one of the strangest endings you will ever see to survive Western Michigan 13-12, Michigan turned around and beat No. 11 Oklahoma 17-10 in another game that was ugly, physical, frustrating and somehow exactly the kind of game Michigan seems comfortable playing right now. This is not a team that is going to win style points.

The NFL season officially began Wednesday night with the exact matchup New England probably wanted and, by the end of the night, probably wishes it could avoid for another seven months. Seattle Seahawks 13. New England Patriots 10. Same opponent that ended New England's season in the Super Bowl. Same result. I tweeted during the game, “What’s worse, losing the Super Bowl in embarrassing fashion, or losing seven months later on a Wednesday night to the same team that beat you

The NFL season is finally here, which means it is time to make predictions that will probably look completely ridiculous by November. That is part of the fun. Every offseason, we spend months convincing ourselves that we know which teams improved, which teams are overrated, which quarterbacks are ready to make a jump and which coaches are about to get fired. Then Week 1 arrives and within three hours some team we had winning 12 games is losing at home to a team everyone thoug

Aaron Judge is coming back. Finally. The Yankees are set to put their captain back in the lineup Tuesday night against Colorado after more than three months on the injured list, and I don't think there is a Yankees fan alive who needs me to explain how big that is. Judge has been out since the end of May with a stress fracture of the first rib on his right side, an injury that the Yankees officially announced on June 5 after he had apparently been playing through discomfort f

College football finally gave us a full weekend of chaos, and just as everyone starts processing Michigan surviving on a Hail Mary, LSU annihilating Clemson and Rutgers losing to UMass, the NFL is basically standing in the doorway saying, “Alright, move over.” The 2026 NFL season is here. And instead of easing everyone into it with some random Thursday night matchup between two decent teams, the league is opening the entire season with a Super Bowl rematch. Seattle Seahawks.

College football made us wait eight months and then decided to cram about three weeks worth of insanity into the opening weekend. Week 1 of the 2026 season gave us blowouts, upsets, controversial officiating, Hail Marys, FCS teams beating FBS programs and several preseason contenders immediately forcing us to reconsider everything we thought we knew in August. Some teams looked exactly like the national championship contenders we expected. Others looked like they spent the en

Scottie Scheffler is your FedExCup champion again, and somehow the guy who spent a good portion of the summer being discussed as having a “down year” just finished the season by reminding everyone that the gap between him and the rest of professional golf is still very real. Scheffler entered the final round of the Tour Championship at East Lake three shots behind Viktor Hovland, who had played some of the best golf of the week and carried a one-shot lead through 54 holes. Sc

NFL preseason is officially over, and Sunday brought one of the harshest days on the league calendar. Every team had to trim its roster from 90 players down to an initial 53-man group by 6 p.m. ET, which meant more than 1,000 players around the league suddenly found themselves either unemployed, waiting on waivers or hoping for a practice squad call. Some names were expected. Some were surprising. A handful of trades came together simply because teams would rather get a futur

College football is finally back, and the 2026 season somehow feels even more chaotic than the one we just finished. That is saying something considering Indiana — yes, Indiana — just completed one of the greatest turnarounds in the history of American sports by going 16-0 and beating Miami 27-21 for the first national championship in school history. Now the Hoosiers enter a new season as defending champions, Ohio State is preseason No. 1, Oregon might have the most complete

Well, Season 3 of House of the Dragon is officially over, and I really don't know how else to say it: I didn't think this finale, or honestly the season as a whole, was that good. That's frustrating because I thought Season 3 started extremely well. The Battle of the Gullet immediately made it feel like the show had finally taken the training wheels off. The war was here, people were dying, dragons were involved, and it finally seemed like we were going to get the Dance of th

The Philadelphia Phillies weren't about to let the Dodgers have all the fun at the trade deadline. Just hours after the baseball world watched Los Angeles land Tarik Skubal, Dave Dombrowski reminded everyone why he's one of the most aggressive executives in the sport, acquiring three-time batting champion Luis Arráez and reliever Caleb Kilian from the San Francisco Giants. In return, the Giants receive the Phillies' No. 4 prospect Ramon Marquez and hard-throwing reliever Mart

Before getting into the movie itself, we have to acknowledge the ridiculous opening weekend Spider-Man: Brand New Day just delivered. The movie opened with approximately $355 million in the United States and Canada and an estimated $927 million worldwide, giving it the second-largest global opening weekend in movie history behind only Avengers: Endgame. After years of people wondering whether superhero fatigue had finally caught up with Marvel, Spider-Man basically kicked dow

We've finally reached the penultimate episode of Season 3, and if there was ever an hour of television designed to make you anxious for a finale, this was it. Episode 7 wasn't built around one giant dragon battle or a shocking death every ten minutes. Instead, it focused on moving every major storyline into position before what feels like an inevitable bloodbath next week. Every conversation carried weight, every vision seemed to reveal another piece of the puzzle, and by the

Well, after the Tarik Skubal sweepstakes officially came to an end with the Dodgers once again landing the biggest fish on the market, the Yankees wasted little time pivoting to another area of need. Instead of making the blockbuster splash everyone was hoping for, Brian Cashman addressed a lineup that has been held together by duct tape over the last few weeks by acquiring left-handed hitter Luis García Jr. Let's be honest, this isn't the move that was going to dominate head

Well... It finally happened. After months of rumors, debates, fake trade proposals and everyone pretending they knew what Detroit was going to do, the Tigers finally pulled the trigger and traded back-to-back AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal to the Los Angeles Dodgers. And honestly... I'm not even mad that he ended up in Los Angeles. At this point, the Dodgers getting every superstar in baseball is about as surprising as the sun coming up tomorrow morning. What I'm mad about..

For what feels like the millionth year in a row, the Cleveland Browns are entering a season with questions at quarterback. Who's the guy? Can he stay healthy? Can he actually lead this team to the playoffs? We've been asking those same questions for what feels like two decades. But while the offense continues riding the quarterback carousel, one thing has become crystal clear in Berea. The Browns know exactly who they are on defense. This week, Cleveland doubled down on that

We've got a full slate of baseball tonight, and with the trade deadline right around the corner, this is the point of the season where every game starts feeling a little more important. Contenders are trying to separate themselves, sellers are showcasing players for potential deals, and the betting board has some value if you know where to look. Let's cash some tickets. Lock of the Night: Astros Moneyline vs. Angels This is my favorite play on the board. Houston gets a dream
