Without a doubt, Alex Bregman is among the biggest fishes in the MLB free agency pond. After declining a qualifying offer of $21.05 million for a year from the Houston Astros, Bregman is free to sign with any ball club, though, the Astros can still be an option for the two-time World Series champion.

The Astros are said to be willing to dig deep into their pockets for a massive contract offer of $156 million for four years to bring back Bregman, but according to Bob Nightengale of USA TODAY, that kind of deal is way off what the 30-year-old...

After rushing for a career-high and Philadelphia Eagles record 255 yards Sunday night against the Los Angeles Rams, and setting an Eagles record for yards from scrimmage with 302, Saquon Barkley walked off the field at SoFi Stadium to chants of MVP.

It wasn’t simply fans caught up in the moment. He’s firmly in the conversation now.

Barkley’s odds to win the award are +650 after his record performance, moving him to third favorite behind Josh Allen (+150) and Lamar Jackson (+220). It’s a monster jump from +5000 odds entering Week 12.

The only thing left now is for him...

It was a close win for the Kansas City Chiefs over the Carolina Panthers Sunday afternoon, 30-27, which some could see as a concern due to the immense struggles of the latter. Still, the win was led by Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes, who spoke after the game about what he wants to see in future games regarding the final score.

Mahomes finished with a solid outing as he threw for 269 yards while completing 27 of 37 throws to go along with three touchdown passes. He would say in his post-game press conference that despite the victory, he would want...

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Coby Bryant made the biggest play of his young NFL career on Sunday when he picked off Cardinals QB Kyler Murray and returned the ball 69 yards for a touchdown. The play proved to be pivotal for the Seahawks in a 16-6 victory that moved them into first place in the NFC West.

But it will also cost Bryant a pretty nice chunk of change. That’s because the third-year corner decided to pay homage to Marshawn Lynch’s iconic “hold my…” celebration. Because we are a family website I will not fill in the entirety of the quote....

Coming off of the Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns, a game in which Browns’ star defensive lineman Myles Garrett had a monster night with three sacks in the first half and a defiant message after the game that he’s the best defender in football, there’s a lot of questions surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers […]

Which NFL players went down in Week 12? Rounding up every fantasy-relevant injury from Sunday with a look ahead toward Week 13.

According to Ian Rapoport, Colts WR Josh Downs is considered week-to-week with the shoulder injury that forced him out of Sunday’s game against the Lions.

Rapoport adds Downs is a long shot to play this week against the Patriots but the injury isn’t expected to sideline him long-term.

Downs, 23, was a two-year starter at North Carolina and was named first-team All-ACC in 2021 and 2022. He declared for the 2023 NFL Draft after his junior season.

The Colts drafted Downs in the third round with the No. 79 overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft. He’s in the second...

The Denver Broncos rookie quarterback had another two-touchdown outing vs. the Las Vegas Raiders where he passed for 273 yards and led the Broncos to victory once again. The team sits at 7-5 with a comfortable lead in the AFC postseason standings and Nix has a lot to do with that.
