Women’s basketball has reached unprecedented levels of recognition from new stars like Cailtin Clark and talented vets like Aja Wilson. That being said, women’s basketball players have rather low-paying salaries and are mostly required to compete overseas during the offseason to continue producing income. Players often leave their families, spouses and kids to provide financially. That is, until Unrivaled.
Spring training is now underway, marking the unofficial end of Major League Baseball free agency. This year’s iteration was a tumultuous one. The upcoming CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) negotiations loomed over this free agency period as the MLBPA (Players’ Association) and the Owners’ Association prepare to do battle at the conclusion of the 2026 season. MLB teams also had a clear shift in strategy this offseason, migrating away from long mega deals in favor of shorter deals with higher AAVs (Annual Average Values). Here are the key takeaways from free agency and what effects they could have as we barrel towards opening day of the 2026 MLB Season.

Super Bowl Sunday is upon us! This year’s iteration of the unofficial American holiday features the New England Patriots pitted against the Seattle Seahawks. Even among Super Bowls, this one is drawing more eyes than most. The last time these two teams met in the Super Bowl, it resulted in one of the best football games ever, culminating in the iconic line “the pass is intercepted at the goal line by Malcolm Butler,” as the Seahawks quarterback Russel Wilson turned the ball over with just seconds remaining on the clock. The Patriots are hoping they’ve already found Tom Brady’s heir apparent in MVP candidate quarterback Drake Maye, whose stellar play, combined with a staunch defense orchestrated by mastermind head coach Mike Vrabel, has vaulted New England back into the Super Bowl. For the Seattle Seahawks, the formula for their success has been the resurgence of quarterback Sam Darnold and an all-time great defense. All that being said, here are our best guesses for who will win Super Bowl LX:
