In Week 11, Jameis Winston and the Cleveland Browns had very Jameis Winston and Cleveland Browns games. Jameis Winston had himself a game, completing 30 of his 46 passing attempts for 395 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions – which, in a way, is somewhat out of the ordinary – and yet, the Browns somehow […]

Widely expected to win the NFC West with ease after coming just a few snaps away from a Super Bowl victory back in February, the San Francisco 49ers are one of the true disappointments of the NFC playoff picture, sitting at 5-5 with multiple crushing fourth-quarter losses on their resume. What gives? Has the Kyle […]

Though their season isn’t quite going as planned, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were still technically buyers at the 2024 NBA trade deadline, adding 2019 draftee Mike Edwards to their defensive backfield for the low-low price of free after he was released by the Tenessee Titans and Buffalo Bills in the month of November. On paper, […]

When the Los Angeles Rams signed Jonah Jackson earlier this year, it was supposed to seriously upgrade the offensive line. After playing fairly well with Pasadena native Coleman Shelton at center in 2024, the Rams decided that moving Steve Avila to center, a position he played in college, would unlock even more opportunities to get […]

At this point, CM Punk has almost been back in WWE for as long as he was in AEW. Yes, AEW still technically gets the nod, but Punk was on and off of the active roster for much of his run with the promotion, as he just couldn’t seem to stay healthy after his initial […]

When it comes to the 2024 Philadelphia Eagles offense, the big names almost always get all of the glory. You’ve got Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley, who have been in the MVP race, AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith, widely considered among the best WR1 and WR2s in the NFL, and even Dallas Goedert getting love […]

After bringing back the dynamic duo of Steve Avila and Jonah Jackson in an ugly effort on Monday Night Football, losing the game 15-12 while the offense looked anemic, the Los Angeles Rams made a big change in Week 11 against the New England Patriots, returning rookie Beaux Limmer to the starting lineup at center. […]

With ten games officially on the books, it’s hard to argue that the Philadelphia Eagles Rookie of the Year Award should go to anyone other than Quinyon Mitchell, the first-round cornerback out of Toledo who has played 96 percent of the team’s defensive snaps. Originally taking second-team snaps behind Darius Slay and Isaiah Rodgers over […]

On Friday Night SmackDown, Solo Sikoa made it official: “Big” Bronson Reed will serve as The Bloodline’s fifth member at the namesake match at WWE’s next PLE, Survivor Series: WarGames. Though not technically from Samoa or Tonga like the Faku and Fifita families, Reed is from the Southern Hemisphere, a proud son of Adelaide, South […]

After much anticipation from fans in Baltimore about his trade deadline acquisition, fans in the Charm City got a chance to see the Ravens’ newest cornerback, Tre’Davious White, firsthand, taking snaps for his new team in Week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. So far, the results have been encouraging, as, despite beginning the game as […]

On the Week 11 edition of Monday Night Football, the Dallas Cowboys lost more than their contest against the Houston Texans. That’s right, as fans watched Cooper Rush’s offense struggle to get much going on through the air – plus special teams – and Jake Ferguson enter concussion protocol, two more members of the Cowboys […]

Jared McCain is a transcendent talent for the Philadelphia 76ers. How can you tell? Well, because McCain is so good that fans continue to tune in to watch his team take the court night after night despite an absolutely embarrassing 2-11 start to the season. Now, sure, technically, the Sixers have never had all of […]

In Week 11, it seemed like all of the Baltimore Ravens issues stemmed from the poor play of Justin Tucker. Sure, Lamar Jackson looked lost on some of his passes, John Harbaugh opted to keep his bell cow rusher, Derrick Henry, off the field on fourth-and-2, and the rest of the team didn’t fare much […]

As the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans duke it out in the Battle of the Lone Star State, Jerry Jones’ squad has been hit with a crushing blow – but not like his stadium’s roof literally falling apart – in the exit of tight end Jake Ferguson, who left the field early in the first […]

While there’s plenty to discuss about the Baltimore Ravens’ Week 11 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, some of it good, most of it bad, one of the more eye-opening decisions of the contest came before the game, when Ar’Darius Washington earned the starting nod at free safety over $70 million man, Marcus Williams. Now, for […]

Heading into Week 11, the Los Angeles Rams had a clear advantage on the ground against the New England Patriots. Facing off against a Pats defense that ranks 20th against the run, allowing 1,412 yards on the ground on the season, if Sean McVay committed to giving the rock to Kyren Williams and the rest […]

In Week 11, the Miami Dolphins put an absolute beatdown on the Las Vegas Raiders. Now granted, this was largely expected, as, despite their similar records, the Dolphins were widely considered the better team in the AFC shootout. But nearly doubling the Raiders score, winning 34-19, while Tua Tagovailoa threw for 288 yards and three […]

After ripping off three straight wins after their Week 6 bye, the Los Angeles Rams welcomed their old pal Jalen Ramsey and his Miami Dolphins to SoFi Stadium for a special showdown on Monday Night Football. Finally, after looking incredibly shaky to start off the season, the Rams would get to show just how good […]

When the New England Patriots decided to claim Yannick Ngakoue off of waivers after being released by the Baltimore Ravens, it turned heads around the NFL. Why was a team with just three wins, that has an incredibly uphill battle just to get to the playoffs behind a rookie head coach and a rookie quarterback, […]

After weeks of increasingly bad play spurned on by some truly head-scratching offensive play calling, the Chicago Bears officially made a change at offensive coordinator on November 12th, firing Shane Waldron and replacing him on an interim basis with passing game coordinator Thomas Brown. Now, for fans in Chicago, any change is good news, as […]

After having an extra week to think about their loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9, the Cleveland Browns are back and ready for their latest challenge in the New Orleans Saints. On paper, that isn’t too daunting, as after looking like world beaters in Weeks 1 and 2, the Saints have been […]

After being absolutely blown out in Week 9 in what thus far has been the worst loss of 2024, maybe of the Sean Payton era as a whole, the Denver Broncos fought back in Week 10 against the Kansas City Chiefs, coming just three points shy of ending the NFL’s long undefeated streak. Yes, there […]

In Week 11’s edition of Thursday Night Football, Jalen Carter did something almost unprecedented for a Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman: he played every single defensive snap. I know,  crazy, right? Howie Roseman has practically made a career out of rolling deep on the defensive line with as many as eight linemen earning snaps in any […]

As the Pittsburgh Steelers prepare for a showdown against their division rival Baltimore Ravens, everyone is preparing for the biggest battle of Week 11, from fans, to pundits, and… WWE Superstar Kurt Angle? It’s true, it’s d**n true; while Angle isn’t going to be returning to the ring any time soon, even if one last […]

As the professional sports world collectively came together to watch Jake Paul put on a boxing match for the ages against Mike Tyson, the overall takeaway was largely the same: that was sort of bad, right? That’s right, after hyping up the event for weeks with social media drama, bus adverts, and a sheath to […]

After starting the Chicago Bulls NBA Cup Group Play game against the undefeated Cleveland Cavaliers, Josh Giddey’s play time was far less robust than fans are used to, taking the field for just 15 minutes in a near-20-point loss. Scoring just five points in 15 minutes on 2-9 shooting from the field and 1-5 from […]

Let me know if you’ve heard this story before, Philadelphia 76ers fans: Jared McCain turned in a fantastic effort typically reserved for veteran NBA players only to watch his team take a loss when the clock hit quadruple zeros. Unfortunately, this is becoming something of a trend for Philly’s finest, with only a two-point win […]

In Week 11, the Philadelphia Eagles got contributions from all over the field in their dominant win over the Washington Commanders. Players like Saquon Barkley and AJ Brown showed up in a major way, sure, but did you know Jalen Carter played every single defensive snap in Week 11? Or that Quinyon Mitchell didn’t surrender […]

For the first time as the head coach of the Washington Commanders, Dan Quinn lost two games in a row when, on Thursday Night Football, his team couldn’t overcome the Philadelphia Eagles four days after dropping their Week 10 game to the Pittsburgh Steelers. What gives? Are the Commanders cooked? Have they been a mirage […]

In Week 11, the Philadelphia Eagles took care of business on Thursday Night Football in large part because of a big game by Saquon Barkley, just enough plays from Jalen Hurts, and a near-dominant defensive effort by Vic Fangio’s defense. Jayden Daniels never got comfortable in the pocket, Terry McLaurin was absolutely shut down by […]

Montagues vs. Capulets. Hatfields vs. McCoys. Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers: some feuds just hit differently because of the deep-seated hatred shared between the two parties. Now granted, heading into the 2024 NFL season, the Ravens and Steelers were expected to be very different teams. The Steelers went from having Kenny Pickett to Russell Wilson […]

Week 10 didn’t shake out too well for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sitting down two games – minus the tiebreaker – to the Falcons in the NFC South, the Buccaneers could have inched one step closer to the division crown with a win over the San Francisco 49ers, but after watching Atlanta take an L […]

Before Jameis Winston was slinging passes, scoring points, and chucking INTs as a member of the Cleveland Browns, the former first-overall pick out of Florida State University was putting in work as a member of the New Orleans Saints from 2020-23. While Winston didn’t play a lot during his time in the Big Easy, amassing […]

When the Los Angeles Rams took the field in Week 10, it was with yet another new configuration on the offensive line. That’s right, with Rob Havenstein out, and the trio of Joseph Noteboom, Jonah Jackson, and Steve Avila all activated off of IR, McVay trotted out a new-look offensive line that still isn’t the […]

In Week 10, Jake Moody was the goat – the bad kind – of the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers… at least until he became the goat – the good kind – at the end of the game. That’s right, after missing three of his first five field goal […]

When it comes to Cody Rhodes, few supporters are more in his corner than Diamond Dallas Page. A sort of uncle figure who has been in the “American Nightmare’s” corner since he started using the moniker, DDP followed Rhodes to AEW, then to WWE, and was at Lincoln Financial Field when Rhodes won the Undisputed […]

After stringing together four-straight games with at least 20 rushing attempts after a slow start to the 2024 NFL season, Kyren Williams was barely utilized in Week 10, confusingly rushing the ball just 15 times in a game where the Los Angeles Rams couldn’t get much going consistently on the ground. What gives? Why did […]

After turning in a few absolutely dominant performances after the bye, Saquon Barkley had one of his least flashy performances as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10, rushing the ball just 16 times for 66 yards plus one more catch for 12 yards. What gives? How was Barkley so inefficient against a […]

In 2021, ECW legend Rob Van Dam joined the elite fraternity of Superstars to have their name immortalized forever in the WWE Hall of Fame. Now, for a performer who got his last name from an action movie star, became a legend for working in a small venue a few miles from Veterans Stadium, and […]
