The Los Angeles Lakers are once again fighting tooth and nail just to get to the NBA Playoffs this season. Viewed as one of the premier title contenders in the league heading into the season, the Lakers seem to have a date with the Play-In Tournament for the third time in the last four years. That obviously is not where the Lakers want to be and if the team is going to make the top six in the West then it needs to start racking up the wins now. The Lakers are running out of time and if this ship…

The Pittsburgh Steelers were not one of the teams that spent March 5 agonizing over what to do with their franchise tag for the 2024 NFL season, but one decision that was made official on March 5 could have an impact on their future. The Miami Dolphins chose not to use the franchise tag on Christian Wilkins, which give the star defensive tackle the chance to test free agency this offseason. The move came as a surprise as Wilkins has been a standout player for the Dolphins over the last few years and they weren’t using the tag on anybody…

The Los Angeles Lakers backcourt is about to get deeper just in time for their playoff push. According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Gabe Vincent will return from his left knee surgery by mid to late March barring any setbacks. “Gabe Vincent is doing more and more on the court,” Charania said on the March 5 episode of the “Run It Back” on FanDuel TV. “The Lakers will know more, I think, next week where Gabe Vincent stands. But barring any setbacks, it’s still mid to late March that he can get back in the lineup. The Lakers can still…

Former NBA player and actor Rashid Byrd was on Friday sentenced to 90 years to life in prison for committing multiple sexual assaults that authorities labeled as violent. According to KTLA, the Los Angeles Police Department in a statement said Byrd sexually assaulted his victims between 2015 and 2020, adding that they occurred in Los Angeles and Santa Clara Counties.

Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan declared at the NFL Combine that inside linebacker was a position they had to address moving forward. Kwon Alexander is a free agent and coming off a season-ending Achilles injury. Cole Holcomb had a season-ending ACL injury also, and Khan really doesn’t have a timetable when he’ll be back. With inside linebacker being a top priority for the Steelers, Brad Spielberger of Pro Football Focus linked Josey Jowell, Blake Cashman, Drue Tranquill and Tyrel Dodson as possible landing spots. Jowell recorded over 100 tackles in each of the last two seasons with the Denver…

Yes, I know what a good portion of you are thinking. “Here comes Jarrett and his continually morbid thought process.” And look, I don’t enjoy being a downer. But I’m a realist. And the reality is that the Steelers’ ceiling is incredibly low if they don’t make a serious move to upgrade at quarterback. While trading for L’Jarius Sneed would undoubtedly give the Steelers the best cornerback duo in football, how far would that get them? If it was 2006, I’d be much more confident in the idea of building a juggernaut defense and hope that mid-to-poor quarterback play could…

The 2024 NFL Combine has officially come to a close and it’s time to glean and dissect some of the information pertinent to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Over 100 prospects took to the stage in Indianapolis to run, jump, and throw while wearing their finest pair of shorts. While their performances won’t necessarily be an end-all-be-all regarding their draft stock, there are still plenty of assumptions to be made based on the information released. Let’s take a look at a few of those. 1. No center meetings? No problem! The Steelers did not meet with two players they’ve frequently been linked…

The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback situation has been one of the worst in the NFL for several years. In a 2024 offseason with several high-end passers and young starters available, the Steelers seemed well-positioned to upgrade at the position. Despite posting winning records in the last two years, including a playoff appearance last season, Pittsburgh has often won games in spite of its quarterback play. From 2022-’23, the Steelers’ offense ranked 21st in Dropback EPA (-0.02) and 20th in Dropback Success Rate (44.2 percent). In an NFL offseason with Kirk Cousins, Baker Mayfield, Justin Fields and Russell Wilson all available, now…

Saints CB Marshon Lattimore was named a potential trade target for the Pittsburgh Steelers Another option may have been presented to the Pittsburgh Steelers as they try to address their cornerback situation for the 2024 season. The team needs somebody that can play alongside Joey Porter Jr. during the upcoming and they have been linked with plenty of big names at the position that they could pursue this offseason. Now there’s a new name out there at the position. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, several teams around the NFL believe that the New Orleans Saints could trade Marshon Lattimore. Lattimore…

Thanks to a 3-game winning streak to end the 2023 regular season, the Pittsburgh Steelers probably won’t have an opportunity to select one of the top prospects in the upcoming draft class. However, The Athletic’s Dane Brugler predicted the team to land a player in the first round with plenty of intrigue — Georgia offensive tackle Amarius Mims. In his mock draft on March 5, Brugler proposed the Steelers trading up from No. 20 to draft Mims at No. 16 overall. “Déjà vu here with the Steelers trading up in Round 1 for a Georgia offensive tackle. (Pittsburgh moved from…
