The NFL has not created its schedule yet, but there are matchups that we know are going to happen. Which ones stick out the most? Also, the Knicks and the Pacers move on and will face each other in the 2nd round of the NBA playoffs. And the Maple Leafs and Bruins will face each other in Game Seven. Who will advance?

Down 3-1 in the series and on the road, the Sixers had their backs up against the wall facing a tough Knicks team. But Tyrese Maxey put the Sixers on his back with his 46-point performance. Do they have enough in the tank to force Game 7 and even possibly win the series?

The 2024 NFL Draft is officially in the books. Who won the Draft? What were some sneaky good picks? Which teams improved the most though the Draft? There's plenty to talk about from the event.

The Atlanta Falcons recently invested in Kirk Cousins with one of the largest QB contracts ever. Surely there was no way they were going to take a quarterback, at least not with their first overall pick, right? Wrong. The Falcons reminded everyone why they're the Falcons when they reached for quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the 8th overall pick.

In a move that's been long overdue, Reggie Bush will be in possession of his Heisman Trophy once again. Why is he finally getting it back after all these years? Does this set a precedent for more decisions being reversed?

The NFL Draft is almost here. One of the most common activities we see in the Draft is teams trading back. Why do they do it? How does it ultimately help them out? What teams in the upcoming Draft could potentially trade back?

The NHL regular season isn't quite over, but it's about to come to a close. After that comes one of the best times of the year: playoff hockey. Will the Lightning continue to assert their playoff dominance over the Panthers? Will the underdog Capitals defy the odds and upset the Presidents' Trophy winning New York Rangers? Will the Maple Leafs prove that their first round victory last year wasn't a fluke?

With the NBA regular season now over, what are some of the most intriguing postseason matchups to look forward to? Also, is Scottie Scheffler the most dominant golfer we've seen since Tiger? And what does the future for the city of Phoenix look like regarding the NHL?

It wasn't the name Kentucky fans (or really anybody) were expecting, but could Mark Pope be the right hire for that program? Only time will tell at this point. Also, who's atop the Masters leaderboard? And with the NHL season coming to a close, who will win the cursed Presidents' Trophy?

We're not even a full month into the MLB season yet, and we're already seeing injuries pile up. We're especially seeing it with pitchers. What's going on, and what can be done to fix the situation?

The men's and women's finals had a lot in common. In both cases, we had a team that had the clear-cut best player in the nation (Purdue with Zach Edey, Iowa with Caitlin Clark) go up against a team that had the clear advantage in depth (UConn and South Carolina). The lesson here is obvious: one player is not enough to win a national championship. Depth matters.

The Final Four is finally here. Will anybody be able to slow UConn down? Also, what are some overreactions from the first week of the 2024 MLB season, and which NFL QB placeholders will have the biggest impacts for their respective teams?

The NBA regular season is almost over, and while the Boston Celtics are very clearly the best team, there's other teams that have been having great seasons of their own. Which particular teams have stood out the most now at this point?

The men's tournament is nearing a close, and four teams remain: UConn, Purdue, NC State and Alabama. Will UConn continue its dominant run and repeat? Will Purdue continue its redemption tour? Will NC State keep its Cinderella run going? Will Alabama continue to be able to ride its hot offense? There's lots of questions that need to be answered, and we're certainly going to get those answers soon.

The tournament has just started, and we've already seen madness. From 14-seed Oakland shocking 3-seed Kentucky to 4-seed Auburn choking against 13-seed Yale, it feels like we've seen it all even though there's still so much more to see. This is why we love March.

Matthew and David both go over their brackets. What upsets are they predicting? Who do they have advancing to the Final Four? Who do they have winning it all?

March Madness is finally here, and there's questions that need to be answered. Were the #1 seeds chosen correctly? Who are the sleepers? Which teams are the most overrated? We'll find out soon enough! Also, Aaron Donald recently announced his retirement. The future Hall of Famer has put an end to his truly dominant NFL career. Where does he rank among the all time great defensive players?

More teams have sent shockwaves across the league with the moves they've been making in free agency. Who has stuck out the most? Also, former Alabama football head coach Nick Saban recently offered his thoughts on the current state of college football.

Free agency does not officially begin until Wednesday at 4pm, but we've already seen a frenzy of moves being made. Which teams have stood out the most so far?

It's official. Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, who are 30 years apart in age, will meet up for a can't miss boxing match. Who will come out on top? Will Tyson's age hold him back, or does he still have something up his sleeve?

Arguably the best month in sports is finally here: the month of March. Finally, this is where we see true pandemonium, true...madness. But don't think we haven't seen any of that already as this has truly been one of the craziest college basketball seasons in recent memory. Buckle up because it's about to get even crazier.

After Wake Forest's court storming incident that injured Duke center Kyle Filipowski, there is potential that court storming could actually be banned. But will it actually happen, and is it the right thing to do?

We all remember those moments. From jaw-dropping results to unforgettable TV/radio calls describing what happened, there are iconic moments in sports history that will be talked about for eternity. All of us may not have seen every iconic moment, but all of us have seen at least one iconic moment that we're still talking about to this day. What moments in particular stick out the most?

The NBA All-Star game used to be a watchable event. Lately, however, it's been nothing more than a meaningless exhibition match that the players themselves don't care about. Plus, with no incentives being involved, why even have it in the first place? Is there a way to salvage it?
