Over the last few years, the legitimacy of the NBA All-Star game has been called into question. No longer a must-see event where the best NBA players play an exhibition, but rather something to endure and not built with the same excitement it once was.
Nevertheless, NBA legend Dwyane Wade has offered a solution to draw eyeballs to the All-Star game, per the Wy Network by Dwyane Wade podcast. Essentially, he argued that the game shouldn’t be held at the mid-point of the season, but after the season.
The template Wade mentioned is the Pro Bowl in the NFL, held...

The Houston Texans made a decisive personnel change Tuesday by releasing veteran guard Laken Tomlinson, marking the latest shift in the Texans roster move approach during the second half of the season. The veteran offensive lineman’s exit comes around a month after a Week 9 benching that reshaped the Texans offensive line and pushed the team toward younger options who have stepped up in recent weeks.
Tomlinson signed a one-year deal last offseason as part of the Texans plan to overhaul its protection unit, but his performance never stabilized. He started seven games before being removed from the rotation, a...

To have the opportunity to do those things and to...

The Ravens designated outside linebacker Tavius Robinson (injured reserve) and safety Ar’Darius Washington (non-football injury list) to return to practice on Tuesday.
Robinson broke his foot in Week 6 and was placed on IR shortly after. Washington suffered a torn Achilles during offseason training and has been on the non-football injury list since the start of training camp. The two defenders could provide a late-season boost to a Ravens defense that has turned things around after a rough start to the season.
Robinson, 26, started the first six games of the season and saw a substantial increase in playing time...

Bengals QB Joe Burrow explained why he was able to recover from his ankle injury more quickly than expected, which was due to his research into the prognosis.
“Once I actually started to learn about the injury and research it and figure out what I really had to avoid, I started to think critically about it,” Burrow said, via Albert Breer. “*That was after about two weeks. Doctors, they’re going to give everybody the general timeline, so the doctor gives you the general timeline, and then the whole key is just keeping all your muscles strong around the...

The Patriots’ win Monday night gave the AFC two two-loss teams (and zero three-loss squads) exiting Week 13, forming a mid-2010s-like duel for the No. 1 seed with the Broncos. In the NFC’s race for the bye slot, the picture is much cloudier.
As it stands, the NFC has a host of teams in contention for that No. 1 spot. The Bears currently hold it, but a fierce challenge appears ahead for Ben Johnson‘s resurgent team. Chicago sits at 9-3, but so do the Rams and Seahawks. Because of their tie in Dallas, the Packers are 8-3-1. The Eagles’ Week...
