Bengals’ Sam Hubbard Says He ‘Will Never Replicate a Feeling Like That In Life’ After Game-Winning Fumble Return
Lifelong Bengals fan Sam Hubbard said he will never replicate the feeling he had as he sprinted away to win Cincinnati their Wild Card playoff match against the Ravens. As the ball slipped away from a huddle of bodies on the Bengals goal line, Hubbard’s eyes lit up and the defensive end snatched it close to his chest and set off for the other end zone – a full 98 yards away. Hubbard has probably never run so fast in his life and it was enough to send every Ravens player scrambling back in vain as the lifelong Bengals fan scampered over the line to win the game for Cincinnati. NO WORDS.#BALatCIN | 📺 NBC pic.twitter.com/pAFTy1yqpS — Cincinnati Bengals (@Bengals) January 16, 2023 Hubbard spoke about his TD after the game as he gave credit to his teammates defensive work before the spe...

Ohio State QB CJ Stroud declares for 2023 NFL Draft
Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback CJ Stroud has announced his declaration for the 2023 NFL Draft and will not return for another season of college football. He left it late and waited until the final day before announcing his intention to declare for the draft, in which he is projected to become a top-five pick.

Australian Open 2023 Predictions: Who Are The Big Hitters in Melbourne?
The first major of the year is here and the Australian Open typically serves as a clear indicator as to who will be the main Grand Slam competitors throughout the season. With the action kicking off in Melbourne this week, we are putting the tournament under the microscope and taking a look at who the likely candidates are for both the men’s and women’s singles titles. Novak Djokovic’s return to Australia is perhaps the biggest narrative surrounding this year’s Australian Open. The Serbian was famously deported last year after his COVID-19 vaccination status failed to align with the nation’s own policy, and subsequently lost a 10-day battle with the Australian government to try and compete. The 35-year-old has won this tournament more than anyone else throughout his illustrious career, win...
Nick Kyrgios Withdraws From Australian Open

Look, I’m not doubting I will be back to my full strength and playing the tennis I was playing prior to this event.” In the discussion of how he feels regarding missing the upcoming Australian Open, Kyrgios opens up, “Yeah, I’m devastated obviously.
