When asked about how Geno Smith keeps getting it done under center for the Seattle Seahawks, Pete Carroll threw up his hands. “What can I say, he’s the real deal,” Carroll declared. “This is the real receipt, there’s no mystery, no ‘oh, he’s gonna run out of gas,’ it’s not like that. He knows exactly […]

Speaking with Ian Furness about how it felt to record a big-time stop on a scrambling Daniel Jones on 3rd-and-9 at the 8:30 mark in the fourth quarter to force the Giants to punt down seven, Harris made a bold declaration that will fire up Seattle Seahawks fans like nothing else. “This is the best […]

Is there any wide receiver in the NFL who has a higher usage rate than Cooper Kupp with the Los Angeles Rams? The former third-round pick out of Eastern Washington has already amassed 72 targets, 56 catches, and 607 yards heading into his team’s contest against the San Francisco 49ers, marks that rank third, second, […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers had a plan on how to thwart the Philadelphia Eagles’ run towards the first-ever perfect 17-0 regular season record. They wanted to shut Nick Sirianni’s entire offense down, sure, what team wouldn’t, but Pittsburgh made a point of trying to stop Jalen Hurts from beating them with his legs, even if that […]

Just call Jalen Hurts Commissioner Gordon, as, in Week 8, the Philadelphia Eagles’ QB1 threw up the bat signal and got all of his Batmans going on the way to a perfect 7-0 record – which, in case you didn’t know, is the best mark in the NFL. Philly won the aerial battle 290-156, including […]

By securing a record-evening 22-17 win over the division rival New York Jets, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has officially noticed his 325th win, which is one more than George Halas and the second-most in NFL history behind only Don Shula, who has 347 victories on his resume. Talk about a big deal, […]

Though USC football was ultimately able to pull out a win against Arizona one week after dropping their first game of the year to 20th-ranked Utah, USC needed to make a statement to keep their chances of making it to the Pac 12 championship alive when the season comes to an end. Sure, the team’s […]

With the prospects of CM Punk returning to AEW growing less and less tenable with each passing day, with Dave Meltzer going so far as to suggest that punk has been “voted off the island” by a locker room – including Chris Jericho – that basically wants nothing to do with him moving forward, fans […]

On the penultimate episode of WWE SmackDown before Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, Jey Uso wasn’t being very “Uce-y.” What, you may ask, is “Uce-y?” Well, that’s hard to explain, really, as Sami Zayn sort of made it up on the spot in a hilarious adlib that got the entire Bloodline laughing their you-know-whats-off while […]

Heading into Week 9 of the 2022 NCAA season, few fans were expecting to see a blowout when the Oklahoma State Football Cowboys faced off against the Kansas State Wildcats. Sure, both teams were ranked, with OSU coming in at nine and K-state at 22, but one of the teams was still very much a […]

Rey Mysterio just can’t catch a break. He and his son Dominik moved to RAW after becoming the first father-son pairing in WWE history to win the SmackDown tag team championships, only to have the younger Mysterio catch the eye of Fin Balor and Judgement Day. After fighting off the team at every turn, both […]

Horned Frogs fans, TCU football is going streaking, as Sony Dykes’ squad was able to overcome West Virginia by a score of 41-31 to keep their undefeated streak alive and their dreams of the college football playoffs alive with it. Surprising? Eh, maybe a little bit, as TCU had to overcome the likes of Oklahoma, […]

As the Bulldogs prepared for a faceoff against the Gators of the University of Florida, the greater Georgia football family took a step back to remember Vince Dooley, the University’s former head coach who led the program to some of its greatest heights over his 25-year tenure in Athens. A pillar of the community who […]

If you didn’t know JT Tuimoloau, the 6-foot-4, 277-pound defensive lineman for the Ohio State football, you do know now, as the five-star recruit out of Sammamish, Washington had himself a game in the Buckeyes’ dominant demolition of fellow Big 10 powerhouse Penn State. Facing off against uber upper classman Sean Clifford at the helm […]

Ahead of managing Legado del Fantasma down to the ring for their match against Hit Row plus a mystery third man – who ended up being “The King of Strong Style,” Shinsuke Nakamura instead of the hot name on Twitter, Carmelo Hayes – Zelena Vega sat down with the fine folks over at Busted Open […]

Bray Wyatt has been back in the WWE Universe for a little under a month, and yet, for fans of the third-generation Superstar, it’s like he never left; his segments are, like, insanely over, his reactions from every audience who has watched him appear have been second to none, and according to The Wrestling Observer, […]

In case you somehow forgot, Ronda Rousey booked herself an open challenge on WWE SmackDown in order to prove herself a fighting champion of the blue brand’s appropriately named SmackDown Women’s Championship, but who would take up the challenge? Would it be Liv Morgan, the woman she defeated at Extreme Rules for the belt? Or […]

Jay White is a force of nature; 139 days and counting into his inaugural IWGP World Heavyweight Championship reign, his fifth such championship reign in New Japan Pro Wrestling, White has successful defenses in Japan, in America, and even in AEW, where he successfully overcame the trio of Adam Cole, “Hangman” Adam Page, and “The […]

At 70, Jim Ross knows that his time in professional wrestling is almost done; after having his career rejuvenated as part of the inaugural Dynamite commentary team alongside Excalibur and Tony Schiavone, AEW has been slowly moving away from having Ross as their lead announcer, with Taz taking over his spot on Wednesday nights. Now […]

The New York Giants are in a weird spot heading into Week 8 of the 2022 NFL season. They have a 6-1 record, good for the second-best mark in the league, and are just a half-game back from the Philadelphia Eagles, who are coming off of a Bye at 6-0, for the best record in […]

As the Bulldogs prepare to welcome the University of Florida Gators to Athens for a pivotal Week 9 contest, the Georgia football family must take a step back to remember the life of Vince Dooley, the football team’s long-time head coach who passed away peacefully at the age of 90, according to a statement from […]

Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan is seven points away from history. Since making his debut for the Toronto Raptors on October 28th, 2009, in a 10-point win over Shaquille O’Neal and the Cleveland Cavaliers – seriously – DeRozan has appeared in 962 regular season games with 950 starts for the Raptors, San Antonio Spurs, and […]

Karl Anderson and his “Good Brother” Doc-now-Luke Gallows are officially back in WWE. Yes, technically, the former is still the Never Openweight Champion of New Japan Pro Wrestling and even has the belt for good measure, but instead of gearing up for an appearance at NJPW Battle Autumn on November 5th, the “Machine Gun” was […]

After taking some time off for a little bit of Bye week R&R, Philadelphia Eagles Week 8 is officially here. Soon, fans will be able to watch the NFL’s lone undefeated team return to the field for the rare cross-state contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers in a Battle of Pennsylvania decided on the gridiron instead […]

AEW fans, the galaxy is healing; MJF is back, and more over than ever, The Acclaimed are getting reactions right up there with Billy Gunn’s other faction – DX, not the Gunn Club – and The Elite, Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks, have officially returned to AEW… sort of. That’s right, after almost two […]

After almost two months away from the ring, Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks have officially returned to AEW television… sort of. That’s right, after rumor had it that the trio could return to AEW as soon as this week, in the final Dynamite in the month of October, AEW ran a 33-second promotional video […]

WWE is a wrestling promotion that is all about making legendary characters and big moments. They will always utilize the greats of yesteryear for the sake of nostalgia and ratings pops, and are always looking for key moments to add to the highlight reel for years to come. Sami Zayn, in particular, seems to understand […]

What is going on with Miro in AEW? He went from the hottest new acquisition in the company, the biggest, baddest dude in the promotion with a god complex and the muscle to back it up, to a part-timer who occasionally shows up on Dynamite or Rampage but hasn’t really had a long-term storyline since […]

Welp, it’s officially official: the Philadelphia Eagles are going all-in on the 2022 NFL season. Howie Roseman watched the San Francisco 49ers upgrade their offensive game plan with the addition of All-Pro multi-hyphenate Christian McCaffrey, saw Dallas bolster their D with one-time New York Giants second-round pick Johnathan Hankins, and most certainly kept tabs on […]

When Seth Rollins isn’t doing damage on WWE as the current United States Champion, he’s watching the NFL, where he’s one of the more notable fans of the Chicago Bears. In 2022, being a Bears fan might be more challenging than being the United States Champion. Bogged down in a three-game losing streak with a […]

Though the WWE Universe is still reeling from the loss of the weird, non-bearded son of Ernie Jr. that no one knew they needed but instantly fell in love with, Ezekiel, the return of Elias has been a relative success on RAW, earning a huge pop in his triumphant return before wrestling a solid match […]

There are a variety of different reasons why matches go down in the WWE Universe. There can be deep-seated blood feuds that grow more and more hostile with each passing week, revenge angles where long-time friends turn against each other after years of friendship, and even just gentlemen’s contests between performers who want nothing more […]

Matt Hardy’s AEW run has been a weird one. Debuting in the promotion’s first show without fans during the COVID-19 pandemic, Hardy began Broken, had that idea squashed by Tony Khan, who is notoriously not a fan of supernatural angels, and then bounced around from gimmick to gimmick – literally – looking for something that […]

When news broke that Jon Moxley had signed a new deal with AEW that would keep him under contract through 2027, it was met with almost universal acclaim. A three-time champion who has risen to the occasion every time AEW has called his number, Moxley was reportedly working without a contract heading into All Out, […]

Though he hasn’t wrestled a match since February, when Goldberg talks on professional wrestling, be that WWE, NXT, or otherwise, folks tend to listen… and then write about it afterward. A lightning rod for controversy who remains vehemently hated by the one and only Bret “The Hitman” Hart, Goldberg is one of the legacy acts […]

After a tough start to the 2022 NFL season, the Indianapolis Colts are making a change under center, giving Matt Ryan a permanent seat on the bench in favor of 2021 sixth-round pick Sam Ehlinger. Though the Colts are far from out of it at this point in the season, sitting within striking distance of […]

After entering the 2022 NCAA season without much hype one way or another, the Bruins turned more than a few heads of UCLA football fans with their impressive 6-0 start. The offense looked good, the defense did too, and quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson, one of the best-kept secrets of the Pac-12, suddenly found himself a household […]

Willow Nightingale has been a member of the extended AEW Galaxy for roughly 18 months when she initially debuted with the promotion as enhancement talent at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville all the way back in April of 2021, and yet, she didn’t officially become “All Elite” until Friday, October 21st, when she was officially signed […]

For a time during the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic, the cinematic match was all the rage in professional wrestling. The Undertaker took his last ride in the Boneyard Match, AEW ran a pair of Stampedes in TIAA Bank Stadium Field, and even NXT got in on the fun when Dexter Lumis wrestled Cameron Grimes […]
