After spending all of 2024 and the first half of the 2025 MLB season as a hitter only – albeit one good enough to win an MVP award – Shohei Ohtani pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers has become increasingly commonplace so far this summer, with the two-way unicorn posting a 2.37 ERA over his […]

With the NFL season rapidly approaching, one of the biggest questions surrounding the Indianapolis Colts is the status of starting quarterback Anthony Richardson… and his pinky. That’s right, taking the field against the Baltimore Ravens in his preseason debut, Richardson found himself on the wrong side of a brutal David Ojabo pass rush, with the […]

After weeks of hyping up the training camp competition between Kelee Ringo and Adoree’ Jackson for the vacant CB2 spot, Philadelphia Eagles fans got to see the battle breakdown first hand in the team’s 2025 preseason debut against the Cincinnati Bengals, and the results were… not good. Starting both corners on the outside, the duo […]

As crazy as it may sound, the calendar has turned over from July to August, and the Philadelphia 76ers’ roster still isn’t technically complete. Now granted, that is largely a matter of semantics, as eventually, Quentin Grimes will be locked away on a new contract, be that something long-term or the dreaded qualifying offer. But […]

When Detroit Lions cornerback Morice Norris went down with a scary injury at the top of the fourth quarter of the team’s preseason debut against the Atlanta Falcons, it left fans concerned. On an otherwise standard running play at the 15:00 mark in the fourth quarter, Norris ran down to the line of scrimmage to […]

After intense speculation about which cornerback would replace Darius Slay in the Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive subpackages, Kelee Ringo or Adoree’ Jackson, fans were afforded a glimpse at the CB2 battle first-hand in the preseason debut, when the duo went up against Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and the rest of the Cincinnati Bengals’ starting offense. The […]

Heading into the 2025 NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles more or less have their depth chart locked. Returning 10 of their 11 offensive starters from their 2024 Super Bowl run, both their kicker and punter, and a deep defensive depth chart groomed to take on bigger roles this fall, the Eagles have a few interesting […]

When Brock Lesnar made his triumphant return to the WWE Universe after the main event of SummerSlam Night 2, it instantly became one of the most controversial calls in wrestling history. While the decision to bring back “The Beast Incarnate” made all the sense in the world from a storyline perspective, as he is a major […]

When news broke that Aaron Rodgers was going to sign on to become the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ new starting quarterback, fans around the NFL wondered how he would mesh with his new offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith. A player notorious for wanting to do things his way, from his late run with the Green Bay Packers to […]

When it comes to backup competitions in the NFL, few hold the same weight as the mid-card battle royal between Zach Wilson and Quinn Ewers for the right to play behind Miami Dolphins starter Tua Tagovailoa. In one corner is the veteran former second overall pick who joins Miami as a free agent following stints […]

When it comes to the release of the Philadelphia Eagles’ first unofficial depth chart of 2025, crucially put together by the team’s PR staff, there aren’t too many surprises. On the offensive side of the ball, there is just one new starter out of 11, with Tyler Steen earning the right guard spot previously held […]

When Max Muncy went down with a scary leg injury at the beginning of July, it felt to many fans like he took the entire Los Angeles Dodgers offense with him. An underrated hitter who always gives opposing pitchers tough at-bats, Muncy did a little bit of everything for the Dodgers in the middle of […]

For the second time in under a decade, the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl, but they did so in a somewhat unusual way. You see, the first go around, the Eagles really pushed their chips to the center of the table in the pursuit of greatness, giving out big money contracts in free agency, […]

When the Los Angeles Rams signed Jimmy Garoppolo to a new contract during the offseason, it turned more than a few heads. At least at the time, the Rams were still being linked to Aaron Rodgers as a free agent and were widely expected to trade away Matthew Stafford if the two sides couldn’t agree […]

When news broke that the Boston Celtics were trading recently acquired combo forward Georges Niang and two future second-round picks to the Utah Jazz for RJ Luis Jr., it left fans wondering how Brad Stevens would further address his frontcourt heading into a forthcoming season without Jayson Tatum. Well, as it turns out, that wonder […]

When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded a king’s ransom for DK Metcalf, fans had a pretty good idea who would be the team’s WR1 for the foreseeable future, but after shipping away George Pickens, who would be his running mate and number two target for new quarterback Aaron Rodgers? Well, while the Steelers do have a […]

How can the Los Angeles Dodgers get Mookie Betts out of his slump? Could they move him out of the first or second spot in the order, deploying instead some combination of Shohei Ohtani, Will Smith, and Freddie Freeman at the top of the order? Nope, Dave Roberts has already shot that idea down. How […]

There’s no two ways about it: Mookie Betts is in the middle of the worst season of his Los Angeles Dodgers career. A former MVP who was a pivotal part of two World Series championships in LA, Betts still doesn’t look comfortable playing shortstop, has lost his power at the plate, and isn’t getting on […]

Though the preseason is still technically a few days away, two teams just hit the war rooms to execute a good old-fashioned training camp trade, with the Philadelphia Eagles sending defensive linemen Thomas Booker IV to the Las Vegas Raiders for former fourth-round pick Jakorian Bennett, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. For the Eagles, this […]

In 2025, when a defensive player, especially a Philadelphia Eagles rookie, draws a comparison to Micah Parsons, it’s a big deal. The gold standard for both the edge rusher and inside linebacker position, Parsons can do a little bit of everything incredibly well and is currently feuding with Jerry Jones over how much that ability […]

What is Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley‘s best attribute? Is it his impressive performances in the weight room, where he can move iron like few other players in the NFL? Or maybe his unique blend of speed and power that makes him nearly unstoppable behind the Eagles’ line? How about his spatial awareness, with […]

When Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio let it slip that he wasn’t particularly impressed with any of the team’s veteran free agent additions at the edge rusher position, it got fans worried. Granted, there was always going to be a bit of a dropoff going from players like Josh Sweat and Brandon Graham to […]

When it comes to training camp, Philadelphia Eagles fans are always looking for the next great breakout star. Sometimes, these players show up, show out, and become franchise heroes, with Corey Clement going from RB5 coming out of camp to a key cog in a Super Bowl win. Othertimes, they become a trivia question, with […]

When Seth Rollins shocked the world by making his triumphant return to the WWE Universe at SummerSlam, cashing in his Money in the Bank contract to defeat CM Punk, it took the professional sporting world by storm. Weeks removed from suffering what some deemed a long-term knee injury, with b-roll walking around in crutches for […]

Linebacker Jihaad Campbell has been a member of the Philadelphia Eagles for roughly three months. While he’s been largely relegated to injury recovery to start out his career, as Campbell still isn’t a lock to start for the Eagles in Week 1 due to a series of offseason surgeries, the first-round pick out of Alabama […]

With one single phone call, veteran outfielder Alex Call went from putting up solid averages for a Washington Nationals team going nowhere fast to contending for a World Series with the Los Angeles Dodgers. A big change? You bet, but for Call, who spoke to reporters before his first game with the team, it’s a […]

While most NFL rosters are more or less set, with the 2025 NFL Draft already in the can and the start of free agency long passed, there are still plenty of quality players to be had on the open market, including a few with multiple Pro Bowls on their resume, like safety Justin Simmons. A […]

In the eyes of many, if not most WWE fans, the 2025 John Cena heel turn has been a stunning failure. While the initial move was great, shocking the world and creating an all-time great Elimination Chamber moment the likes of which would be talked about forever, but when Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson didn’t show […]

After a very active but somewhat controversial trade deadline period, shipping away Dustin May, James Outman, Hunter Feduccia, Eriq Swan, and Sean Paul Liñan for Alex Call, Brock Stewart, Adam Serinowski, Paul Gervase, and Ben Rortvedt, the Los Angeles Dodgers have officially begun to re-jigger their roster to make room for some new faces. With […]

When Philip Rivers formally announced his retirement from the NFL on July 21, 2025, it left NFL fans with one major question: Wasn’t he retired already? While yes, technically Rivers did, as, after playing his final NFL snap with the Indianapolis Colts in 2020 he declared his playing career was over, but in the years […]

When news broke that Micah Parsons had requested a trade after some very public back-and-forth banter between himself and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, it quite literally took the NFL world by storm. Suddenly, one of the best defensive players in the league, a Swiss army knife with scheme versatility, was seemingly on the block, […]

When pitcher Shohei Ohtani exited the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Wednesday night game against the Cincinnati Reds after throwing six straight balls, it stopped the world for fans of the Blue and White. After looking alright at the top of his scheduled start, Ohtani looked visibly frustrated with his command, forcing skipper Dave Roberts to remove […]

With SummerSlam rapidly approaching, WWE sent former WWE Champion Cody Rhodes to The Ringer to talk shop with the Podfather himself, Bill Simmons, on his namesake podcast. Stopping by the show to talk about his feud with John Cena, his WWE Championship run, and everything else that could come up before the event this weekend […]

After seven strong seasons split between Oakland and Las Vegas, the Raiders are rewarding starting left tackle Kolton Miller with a new three-year extension.

As things presently stand, the Philadelphia 76ers are likely finished making major external moves during the 2025 NBA offseason.

While the 2025 MLB trade deadline is rapidly approaching, it looks like the Los Angeles Dodgers are about to receive some major upgrades without so much as surrendering a single asset. That’s right, with Tyler Glasnow and Blake Treinan already back on the mound and players like Blake Snell and Max Muncy rapidly approaching returns […]

The Cincinnati Reds are a team in dire need of some additional firepower as they enter the 2025 MLB trade deadline. Sitting in third place in an incredibly competitive NL Central, the Reds are 8.5 games back from the Milwaukee Brewers but only two games behind the Chicago Cubs, with a chance to sneak into […]

Though training camp is still young, one of the biggest battles for the Philadelphia Eagles has been between Kelee Ringo and Adoree’ Jackson – plus Eli Ricks, Mac McWilliams, and company – for the cornerback two spot opposite Quinyon Mitchell. In one corner, the Eagles have a 22-year-old with upper-echelon speed, height, and wingspan, who […]

As crazy as it may sound, the Los Angeles Dodgers are more or less on track with their 2024 pace. Call it a benefit of an early win streak that seemed like it would never end, or a midsummer struggle that corresponded with similar issues around the NL. But with the trade deadline rapidly approaching, […]
