The Cleveland Browns seem to be always dealing with trouble, and their duo Josh Gordon and Johnny Manziel, have both been at the center of much of it in 2014. The pair are tipped to become two of the biggest stars in the NFL, but because of a drugs ban, and the lack of talent, they're not on the field just yet, but could the Browns trade the duo? The pair could be packaged off for picks and rookies, or almost anything they want. The Browns are impressed with how Brian Hoyer and Travis Benjamin have upped their game, given the fact that they were supposed to back up the troubled duo. Could the Browns make such a bold trade?

Floyd Mayweather Jr is a man that gets what he wants. He is currently working out his final fights, and it's likely he will face Amir Khan before he retires. With millions to his name, it's safe to say he doesn't need to continue working, but Floyd looks set to train Prince Michael Jackson to take his place, meaning Mayweather may be pursuing a boxing management/trainer career, and with his pedigree, no questions are likely to be asked. Can Floyd turn the pop king's song in to a boxing champion, or is that one step out of his reach? Read More »
Kevin Costner is one of the greatest actors today, and the whole world loves him, yet as the saying goes, 'any publicity is good publicity'. His latest movie 'Draft Day' is about the NFL, the draft and the Cleveland Browns, and it proved to be a huge success in USA. His movie never hit the cinemas in the UK, and it has just been released via different forms of media, and Costner has strangely praised the British Armed Forces. Is this a coincidence, or was this a genuine, classy gesture? Read More »

It never seems to be simple; no matter what the New York Jets do, they're still a massive NFL failure, by their own self-set standards anyway. The Jets want Super Bowls, but they often struggle to get wins, or even score points. Their QB situation, on paper, seems okay, with youngster Geno Smith and veteran Michael Vick on their roster, however, as many fans have said, the pair is "awful." It seems the New York Daily News agrees, as their latest headline cries out for a Tim Tebow return. That's right, the man that nobody wants, could well be on his way to a return to New York, and he may bring "Tebowmania" with him. Read More »
The New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals knew the importance of their Sunday Night Football NFL game, yet the Pats are the only team that proved it. The talk surrounding both teams lately has been around quarterbacks Tom Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo of the Pats, and Andy Dalton and A.J. McCarron of the Bengals. Brady has done it all, but appears to be near retirement, while Dalton rarely performs when it matters. Both teams have talented rookies waiting for their chance, but is it time to give them their shot? On top of that, there are rumours that each duo dislike one another, making it near impossible to work with one another. Read More »
The NFL's "Greatest ever quarterback" debate has been done a million times. Debate one-million-and-one is here. Forgetting the elite quarterbacks or the past, present and future, without a doubt Peyton Manning, now of the Denver Broncos, and the retired Brett Favre, most famously of the Green Bay Packers, are two of the best quarterbacks ever. Which one is better you ask? As Peyton moves close to overtaking Brett in the 500-touchdown club, it's never been clearer; there is no better than Peyton, but does he need one more Super Bowl win to to top his brother Eli Manning and Favre?

Basketball is a funny game, isn't it? Not long ago, the Cleveland Cavaliers were the laughing stock of the NBA, but now things couldn't be more different. Their starting line-up will include Dion Waiters, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love and LeBron James, and the last two have made their preseason debut for the Cavs. With a new, huge NBA television deal coming next summer, the Cavaliers can restructure contracts and land a fourth superstar to help their team in their pursuit of an NBA championship — but could shooting guard Waiters soon change those plans as he prepares to be the key piece of their roster?

Floyd Mayweather Jr is closing in on his retirement, and the glamorous, unbeaten boxer is preparing to go out in style. He's currently on vacation, and resting, before what's likely to be his last year of boxing. However, he has added Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch and Richard Sherman, of the Seattle Seahawks, to his 'Money Team'. On top of those NFL stars he's added Prince Michael Jackson, the son of Michael Jackson, to his team. The boxer has been feuding with 50 Cent, and toying with the idea of fighting British boxer Amir Khan. They'd better watch out, as Super Bowl champions and the son of a legend have joined the likes of Justin Bieber and Lil Wayne. Read More »
Matchroom boxing promoter Eddie Hearn is insisting that Anthony Joshua will beat Denis Bakhtov, then fight David Haye in the near future, but could he fight his close pal, the world heavyweight champion, Wladimir Klitschko? AJ is regarded as one of the best boxing prospects ever, but strangely he has hit out at himself, saying he's 'not that good', however, Wlad disagrees with that. The champion recently trained with AJ, and was then full of praise, and with him edging closer to retirement, could AJ face him, or replace him as the boxing king? Before long the recently engaged Wlad will want to spend time with Hayden Panettiere and his yet-to-be-born baby, but could he help AJ to take his place? Read More »
