After turning in one of the worst losses of the 2024 NFL season against the Los Angeles Chargers, 40-7, it’s clear the New England Patriots need to make some changes. Now granted, it’s not like the Patriots are going to turn it around in 2024, and if anything, another win would only take away having […]

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.

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.

Heading into the Week 17 edition of Monday Night Football, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was catching strays left and right, trending on social media for all of the wrong reasons. But why? Was it because of his stat line? Or did it have to do with his shooting earlier in the season? […]

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 Kenny Pickett had to leave Week 17 after aggravating his rib injury, the Philadelphia Eagles had to turn to Tanner McKee to close out the game. The results, as it turned out, were very good, with the pride of Stanford completing three of his four passing attempts for 54 yards and two touchdowns. Discussing […]

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. Sure, the Blazers have 11 wins, which is only two fewer than the 76ers, but they’ve looked downright bad for […]

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? Did another AFC East team have eyes on the Alamaba product? Or […]

While there are a lot of ways to describe Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, passion is undoubtedly one of them. One of the winningest coaches in the NFL since he entered the league, Sirianni wears his heart on his sleeve, even when some fans want him to chill the heck out. And for the […]

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

Heading into Week 18, no one will be watching Saquon Barkley and the Philadephia Eagles’ showdown against the New York Giants closer than Eric Dickerson.

Cody Rhodes has been wrestling in one form or another for the vast majority of his life. First, it was Greco-Roman style, performing so well in his home state of Georgia that he earned a spot on Penn State’s prolific program, which he ultimately declined.

In Week 16, CJ Gardner-Johnson was ejected from the Philadelphia Eagles’ game against the Washington Commanders after recording his second personal foul call of the game… and then his team lost. Now granted, the Eagles didn’t lose because CJGJ wasn’t on the field, at least not fully, as their defense fell apart down the stretch, […]

When the Minnesota Vikings signed Sam Darnold earlier this year, it was to serve as a bridge quarterback to whichever player the team landed in the 2024 NFL draft.

After suffering what many a fan thought was a season-ending injury back in November when he suffered an MCL sprain against his former team, the Baltimore Ravens, JK Dobbins shocked the football world when, ahead of Week 17, he was activated off of IR and returned to the field for the Los Angeles Chargers. A […]

While Paul George has accomplished a ton over his NBA career, from All-Star berths to playoff wins, multiple big trades, and max contracts to go with them, one area of the game where he’s never had an issue is shooting 3s, becoming a 38.5 percent shooter from beyond the arc in his second professional season, […]

Heading into AEW Worlds End, one of the showdowns fans wanted to watch most was the certified showdown between Adam Cole and MJF for the Dynamite Diamond Ring. Would the star of Happy Gilmore 2 get to keep the ring only he has held since it debuted last decade? Or would Cole get revenge on […]

While the San Francisco 49ers have officially been eliminated from the playoffs and have nothing left to play for but pride and an ability to play spoiler to the Detroit Lions, Brock Purdy has one silver lining left heading into the final game of the 2024 NFL calendar year: Monday Night Football. That’s right, with […]

When Matt Cardona showed up in AEW to challenge Chris Jericho for the Ring of Honor World Championship and the “King of New York” following his eventual foe to GCW for a major indie shakeup, fans assumed one thing: Tony Khan had buried the hatchet with the indie promotion. But what did this mean for […]

And then there were two, Philadelphia Eagles fans. That’s right, after a season of ups and downs and everything in between, the Eagles finally get to hit the proverbial ring with the Cowboys once more, taking on Jerry Jones’ squad in Kelly Green at the Linc no less, but this isn’t the same Philadelphia or […]

When news broke that the Philadelphia Eagles were bringing former Notre Dame quarterback Ian Book off of the street to serve as their fourth rostered quarterback as a member of the practice squad, it spelled very bad news for Jalen Hurts’ chances to play in Week 17. After largely sticking with their top-3 guns for […]

After the Chicago Bears made the controversial decision to retain Matt Eberflus after securing the first-overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, more than a few fans thought the team had made a mistake.

All the way back in January, Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers secured their biggest win of the season, beating the Detroit Lions 34-31 on the way to the Super Bowl. Oh, what a difference (almost) a year can make. After officially being eliminated from the playoffs earlier this month and guaranteed a losing […]

As a general rule, Matthew Stafford is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. Now, sure, he doesn’t have the generational stats, the incredible accolades, or even the perception around the NFL as an all-time signal caller. But when push comes to shove, and the Los Angeles Rams need someone to step up in […]
