The Detroit Lions are squaring off with the Chicago Bears in Week 14, but both teams may be dealing with another factor in Sunday matchup. The Lions have been fortunate to avoid playing in bad weather throughout the season but that could change on Sunday. Rain is in the forecast at Soldier Field in Chicago, along with wind gusts. “Look, weather’s going to play a factor in this one, but it’s also, that’s a great equalizer, I love that,” Dan Campbell said. “Turnovers and weather is a great equalizer. It puts you on a little bit more even playing ground, and I…

Here’s where your team sits before the final round of the regular season: Melbourne Storm at…
SANTA CLARA — Several 49ers sat out of their second consecutive practice on Thursday prior to their rematch with the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. One notable change on Thursday’s participation report was Ray-Ray McCloud being listed as not participating after being limited on Wednesday. If the return specialist is unable to suit up on Sunday, the club will likely look to Ronnie Bell for punt returns and Deebo Samuel on kickoffs as they did in their Week 13 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Arik Armstead, who has been dealing with a foot and knee issue, sat out of his second straight…

The top Chargers wide receiver is on the injury report this week, so red flags are flying. Will the WR miss the game? If he does play, will he be 100% healthy? Here’s a look at what’s going on in Los Angeles. The bad news is that Allen didn’t practice on Wednesday. However, the good news is that he doesn’t appear injured. On the Chargers injury report, the WR is marked “NIR – rest.” The…

The Celtics were beaten 128-102 by a rampant Miami on Monday to fall 3-0 down in the series and staring at the exit door little under a year on from losing to the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals. Mazzulla’s side fell shy in all departments as they shot just 39.8 per cent from the field to the Heat’s 56.8, as well as 26.2 per cent from behind the arc compared to Miami’s 54.3.

Tennessee had a lot of roster movement happen on Monday, highlighted by numerous portal departures. They finally received some good news on Monday evening, as John Campbell Jr. announced that he will return for his final year of eligibility. Campbell is a current Tennessee offensive tackle and former Miami football transfer. He measures in at around 6-5 and 320 pounds as a sixth-year senior and will be competing during his seventh year as he makes the first announcement regarding returning to the Volunteers. This is huge for the Tennessee offensive line, as they expect to lose some guys, including Connor Meadows and Addison Nichols, to…
In unfamiliar territory, the St. Louis Cardinals will have a top-10 draft pick going into 2024. With the new MLB Draft Lottery, the odds can work in your favor, or they can work against you. The Cardinals got the short end of the stick and fell to the seventh spot when they were projected to be the 5th overall pick . The Cardinals will most likely miss out on big-name prospects like JJ Wetherholt (West Virginia), Nick Kurtz (Wake Forest), and Travis Bazzana (Oregon State). But the rest of the list is full of high-risk but high-reward talents. Many fans want to…
America’s game of the week is one that both NFL teams have been waiting for: a rematch of the NFC Championship game from a year ago between the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles. Last season, the San Francisco 49ers had a string of bad luck when it came to injuries, losing notable staters such as Freed Warner on the defense and quarterback Brock Purdy. A year ago, Purdy was undefeated as a rookie, making many believe that the 49ers deserved to be favorites over the Eagles despite the dominance of Jalen Hurts, who finished second in MVP voting and…
