When the Los Angeles Rams take the field in Week 18 against the Seattle Seahawks, Sean McVay’s team is going to look noticeably different than in weeks passed. For one thing, Matthew Stafford has officially been benched in favor of his 2024 backup, Jimmy Garoppolo. Now granted, that sounds a whole lot worse than it […]

When WWE began to commit all of its efforts into promoting RAW‘s move to Netflix, fans had to know that the USA Network would get something good to energize SmackDown, right? Well, on the first SmackDown of the year, that happened in a major way, when Tiffany Stratton almost cashed in her Money in the […]

R-Truth has been a WWE babyface for over a decade now, ending his bad boy ways by attacking The Miz at the end of 2012 after being similarly attacked by his former Awesome Truth partner a few weeks prior. But why? Is it because Truth works better as a babyface than a heel, with his […]

When Sean McVay and Les Snead made the decision to pull the trigger on a trade for Matthew Stafford before the 2021 NFL season, the Los Angeles Rams were in a very different place.

Heading into Week 18, the Philadelphia Eagles are going to look very different from the juggernaut that won 13 of their last 16 games heading into the regular season finale. For one thing, Saquon Barkley will not be on the field, as his pursuit of the single-season rushing has officially been ended by Nick Sirianni […]

If you only watched Cam Skattebo play in the Peach Bowl, you would think he’s destined for the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Skattebo ran for 143 yards on 30 carries, caught eight passes for 99 yards, and even threw a 42-yard touchdown on his lone passing attempt of the game, which resulted […]

After a surprisingly good run playing on the worst team in the NFL, Drake Maye’s rookie season is almost over, and depending on the condition of his right hand, he may not even play in the contest.

When Jimmy Garoppolo decided to sign with the Los Angeles Rams to backup Matthew Stafford instead of pursuing another season as a spot-up starter for a team needing a bridge quarterback like the Minnesota Vikings, the Las Vegas Raiders, or the team that drafted him, the New England Patriots, it turned heads around the NFL. […]

Though his team didn’t secure the win in the Peach Bowl, it’s hard to put any of that blame on the shoulder of Cam Skattebo, the superstar running back who put in some absolute work for the Arizona State Sun Devils in a losing effort. On the ground, Skattebo was on the money, picking up […]

When news broke that Saquon Barkley was not going to play in the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 18 regular season finale against the New York Giants, the one person fans wanted to hear from – save SB 2K himself – was head coach Nick Sirianni. Now granted, the decision was controversial, to say the least, with […]

Heading into Week 18’s game against the New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is 101 yards away from becoming the NFL’s all-time leading single-season rusher.

When the Cleveland Browns take the field one final time this season for a Week 18 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens, very little is on the line.

When Tanner McKee connected with AJ Brown for his first career touchdown during the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 17 win over the Dallas Cowboys, it was a big deal for the player affectionately known as the “Morman Missle.” Originally drafted in the sixth round out of Stanford back in 2023, McKee patiently waited his turn for […]

When the Philadelphia 76ers took the court in Portland for a road game against the Trail Blazers, fans had a pretty good idea they were going to see their friendly neighborhood Sixers secure a win.

When news broke that the the New York Jets had claimed former Washington Commanders defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis off of waivers in a steep competition, it left NFL fans with one massive question: which other teams tried to claim the former second-round pick?

While there are a lot of ways to describe Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, passion is undoubtedly one of them.

Next Monday, for the first time since January 11th, 1993, there will not be an episode of RAW airing on network television.

Cody Rhodes has been wrestling in one form or another for the vast majority of his life.
