After spending the better part of the offseason on the trade block, the Philadelphia Eagles turned heads by passing on tight ends in the 2025 NFL Draft and bringing Dallas Goedert back on an amended contract. Now granted, maybe things just didn’t shake out the Eagles’ way. Maybe they really did want to draft a […]

What is the Philadelphia Eagles’ biggest need heading into the 2025 NFL season? Do the reigning and defending Super Bowl Champions still need another pass catcher to really take their aerial offense over the top and finally reach a proper 50-50 pass-rush parity?

When Jayson Tatum suffered a season-ending Achilles injury that will almost certainly cost him most of the 2025-26 NBA season, it called the very future of the Boston Celtics into question.

For the longest time, it looked like Ace Bailey was going to be drafted third overall by the Philadelphia 76ers.

While Ric Flair is one of the all-time great professional wrestlers, with runs in WCW, WWE, TNA, and now AEW that have kept him culturally relevant for a half a century, he’s also a big fan of football, from his alma mater, the University of Michigan, to Deion Sanders’ University of Colorado Buffaloes. Taking some […]

When it comes to the defensive MVPs of the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2024 campaign, few players deserve the crown more than Cooper DeJean.

While the 2024-25 NBA season didn’t go the way many a fan of the Philadelphia 76ers may have hoped, one major bright spot in the otherwise darkness of the situation was the play of Quentin Grimes, who went from a solid mid-season acquisition to the team’s offensive engine down the stretch. Suddenly, the two-way wing […]

When John Cena announced that 2025 would be his final year in WWE, fans just had to know he’d mix it up one final time with the “Best in the World,” CM Punk. With beef that goes back decades and some storied matches held in high regard within the WWE Universe, this particular program is […]

In 2024, Marvin Harrison Jr. had one of the more highly debated seasons of any rookie wide receiver in recent memory.

The Philadelphia 76ers find themselves in an unusual spot heading into the 2025 NBA Draft.

As Los Angeles reels with protests over ICE raids throughout the community, fans have been turning to the Dodgers to see what the organization will say about the situation.

Though the confetti has long been cleaned off Broad Street, the Philadelphia Eagles are still riding high in the court of public opinion.

For the first time since 1979, the Buss family will no longer own the Los Angeles Lakers, with Mark Walter purchasing the team at a valuation $10 billion.

Though it feels like he just joined the Philadelphia Eagles as a plucky second-round pick out of South Dakota State yesterday, Dallas Goedert has slowly but surely become one of the elder statesmen of the tight end position as he prepares to enter his eighth professional season. With that longevity comes financial reward and outside […]

There’s no two ways about it: Evan Neal has had a tough go with the New York Giants. Originally expected to become the bookend left tackle to protect Daniel Jones’ blindside for years to come – oh, how times have changed – Neal has bounced from the left side to the right, but no matter […]

The New York Yankees are down bad. After a strong start to the season, going 8-1 against the Texas Rangers, the Colorado Rockies, and the Los Angeles Angels, New York has fallen into their coldest stretch of the season, losing five-straight, including two to the Halos, to fall to 42-30. Now, on paper, that record […]

After watching their pitcher, Lou Trivino, peg Fernando Tatís Jr. with an errant ball to the back, the Los Angeles Dodgers had to know that a receipt was coming their way from their I-5 rivals.

When WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Liv Morgan took the ring for a match against Kairi Sane, it felt like an otherwise unremarkable middle-of-the-show match on an otherwise usual RAW.

It’s here, Los Angeles Dodgers fans, it’s finally here: Shohei Ohtani is returning to the mound for the first time in blue and white.

What is wrong with the Washington Nationals? Is it their lack of hitting, both for power and for average? Or maybe their shaky pitching, which was once a strength of the team? Well, while that conversation can be discussed in a number of ways, in the opinion of manager Davey Martinez, the one area of […]

As the 2025 MLB season inches closer and closer to the All-Star break, one of the biggest questions surrounding the league has been the liveliness of the balls being used by every team from the Pittsburgh Pirates to the New York Yankees. On paper, the idea is rather sound: After watching MLB hitters flirt with […]

When news broke that the Green Bay Packers were releasing Jaire Alexander after seven seasons with the team, the interest of many a Philadelphia Eagles fan was piqued.

There’s no two ways about it, the Philadelphia Eagles have one of the most stacked teams in the NFL.

There was a time when it looked like Mike McDaniel was turning the Miami Dolphins into the best offensive team in the NFL.
