To paraphrase Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack, the 2024 Carolina Panthers need to sell, sell, sell at the 2024 NFL trade deadline. Sitting in the doghouse of the NFC with a 1-5 record and a point difference of -100, the Panthers aren’t a team bereft of talent per se, but most of those players fall into […]

After officially returning to the practice field in Week 6, the Philadelphia Eagles have made it official: Sydney Brown is back, officially a member of the 53-man roster once more. That’s right, a little over a week after opening his practice window, Brown is back on the field and ready to go in Week 7, […]

After making their triumphant debuts on SmackDown, even if WWE sort of spoiled it with a digital exclusive two hours before the show, the Motor City Machine Guns were on cloud nine. Sure, they had a new theme, saying goodbye to one of the premier songs in wrestling for some nonsense about raising a fist, […]

When Jordan Mailata went down with a “serious hamstring injury” in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns, fans immediately began to hypothesize about how the Philadelphia Eagles would replace their star left tackle.

While “The Learning Tree” Chris Jericho didn’t become the new Ring of Honor World Champion at AEW WrestleDream, he earned a pretty incredible consolation prize: being a featured player in the number one film in America, Terrifier 3. But how did it happen? How did Jericho go from full-time Learning Tree and part-time Fozzy rocker […]

After putting in work in Week 6 as part of a game more notable for Nick Sirianni outbursts than any play on the field at The Linc, the Philadelphia Eagles are taking their show on the road in Week 7 only this week, they don’t have to go too far, as they’ll be facing off […]

After weeks and weeks of hints, anticipation, and not-so-subtle video packages, WWE has officially debut the Motor City Machine Guns… digitally. That’s right, after GM Nick Aldis announced to the wrestling world that he was going all-in on bringing a new tag team to SmackDown, with the duo set to debut in a match against […]

With their massive media right deal officially on the books, the biggest piece of intrigue surrounding AEW isn’t what the Blackpool Combat Club has planned for the promotion, if fans will get to see Bryan Danielson again, or who will dethrone John Moxley but instead, whether fans will get to see Shane McMahon in Tony […]

The Philadelphia Eagles offense is constipated… at least according to Pro Bowl right tackle Lane Johnson. … huh? Well, despite having a ton of offensive talent, more than most teams in the NFL can boast, the Eagles are underachieving versus their potential and are so out of the loop that they can’t even get the […]

After a week off to get their minds, bodies, and game plan back on track, the Los Angeles Rams are heading back to the NFL field for their sixth game of the season. And, in a fantastic turn of luck, they’ve landed the perfect opponent for the game: the Las Vegas Raiders. That’s right, after […]

Where do the Jacksonville Jaguars stand heading into Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season? Is their campaign cooked? Will Doug Pederson make it to Thanksgiving before being fired? Or will Jacksonville somehow figure out a way to rally, get back on track, and fight for their proverbial lives in a successful push for a […]

After spending years dominating the NFC East with one of the more experienced lineups in the NFL, the Philadelphia Eagles find themselves in relatively uncharted territory, with only a few veterans playing on the defensive side of the ball. That’s right, gone are the days of Fletcher Cox manning the middle, a veteran secondary loaded […]

Is Patrick Mahomes having a down year? Well, as his Kansas City Chiefs prepare for a Week 7 throwdown against the San Francisco 49ers, that question has been debated early and often, with his largely down stat line being used as evidence. His touchdown percentage is at a career low, his interception percentage is at […]

When fans reflect back on Bad Blood, they don’t think about Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes defeating Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu, or the return of Jimmy Uso, or even the Hell in a Cell match between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk, but instead, the return of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to the WWE Universe. […]

As Saquon Barkley prepares for his first trip to MetLife as the opposition, it seems like everyone wants to know what the Philadelphia Eagles’ running back thinks about the New York Giants. Does Barkley hate the team for their unwillingness to give him a market-level contract? Or does he relish the fun he had in […]

With a third of the 2024 NFL season officially in the books, if you can believe it, the Philadelphia Eagles can officially start to evaluate Saquon Barkley as a member of the team. On paper, he’s a Week 2 catch away from an A+. He’s currently on-pace for the most rushing yards of his career, […]

As Shohei Ohtani struggles as the Los Angeles Dodgers’ lead-off hitter, fans around the league have been wondering what’s got the reigning and defending MLB MVP in such a slump. Is Ohtani fatigued, playing in his first post-season campaign in the majors? Or maybe he’s suffered some sort of injury that no one is aware […]

Cody Rhodes has been the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion for roughly six months, securing the strap from Roman Reigns in the Night 2 main event of the “Showcase of the Immortals” at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Since that fateful evening, Rhodes has defended the belt six times, defeating AJ Styles Logan Paul, AJ […]

After making waves earlier in the week by announcing that Cooper Kupp was going to return to practice in Week 7, albeit slowly, it turned heads around Rams Nation. Suddenly, after watching ugly outing after ugly outing for Los Angeles’ finest over the first month and change of the season, with Matthew Stafford throwing to […]

There was a time in the not-too-distant past when a showdown between Joel Embiid and Andre Drummond was appointment viewing for fans of the Philadelphia 76ers and Detroit Pistons. Two of the top young two-way centers in the NBA at the time, both were focal points of their respective teams with two-way versatility, even if […]

After struggling mightily as the Los Angeles Dodgers lead-off hitter through the playoffs, recording just six hits and a single home run over his seven postseason games of the season, some fans have been banging the table to see another hitter, likely Mookie Betts, take Shohei Ohtani’s spot at the top of the order. On […]

In 2024, Tre’Davious White’s play for the Los Angeles Rams has been a disappointment. Long considered one of the better man-press cornerbacks in the NFL, White has been beaten at crucial spots on the outside against receivers elite and middle-of-the-road and simply hasn’t displayed the deep speed needed to catch up if his technique isn’t […]

Between making his big return at AEW All In, then having his first singles match in a decade with Bryan Danielson at Grand Slam, and his commentary work on Collision, Nigel McGuinness is having a major resurgence in the professional wrestling world since being released from WWE last year. Fans love his efforts, the unique […]

In 2024, the Los Angeles Rams aren’t doing so hot, starting the season off 1-4 due in no small part to a wild string of injuries, but one team who is having a fantastic start to the campaign is the Minnesota Vikings, who sit atop the NFC North at 5-0. Why, you may ask, is […]

There was a time in the not-too-distant past when CM Punk and Paul Heyman were like peanut butter and jelly in the WWE Universe. Sure, both men had successful storylines before they linked up and have reached massive heights since, but after forgoing their own paths in very punk rock, antagonistic ways, WWE decided to […]

Though the Philadelphia Eagles were able to secure their Week 6 win in fairly commanding fashion, holding the Cleveland Browns’ offense to just field goals on the way to a 20-16 win, there were still plenty of questions surrounding their offense as a whole. Why didn’t Jalen Hurts target the middle of the field? Why […]

After being escorted out of SmackDown on Friday, but not before beating up Randy Orton in the parking lot before he exited the arena, fans have pretty massive questions about Kevin Owens and where he stands in the WWE Universe. Well, as it turns out, Owens wants to answer them, but on Monday, WWE wasn’t […]

Though Week 6 of the 2024 NFL season is officially in the books, the Monday Night Football showdown between the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets already looks like one of the most consequential showdowns of the entire season, as its ramifications have already set the league by storm. Throwing down in a “Battle […]

After officially making it official, acquiring Amari Cooper from the Cleveland Browns in concert with the New York Jets’ successful pursuit of Davante Adams, the Buffalo Bills looks like one of the best teams in the AFC. They have YAC specialists who shined without Stefon Diggs, a run game that worked, at least in Week […]

After watching the AFC East pull off a pair of trades for top-tier wide receivers, the Houston Texans boldly declared that the South had something to say as well, shipping fifth-year running back Cam Akers to the Minnesota Vikings alongside a 2026 conditional seventh-round pick for a 2026 conditional sixth-round pick. The move, reported by […]

I happened, it finally happened: Davante Adams is officially a member of the New York Jets. All the speculation came true, all the mock trades are in the past, and now, fans of Gang Green can focus on the future, including how Adams will fit on a Jets team coming off three-straight losses over two […]

After giving their coaches, players, and fans a week off to wade through the rollercoaster that was the first month of the 2024 NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles announced their return in a major way in Week 6, beating the Cleveland Browns at home 20-16. While that final score appeared close, the actual on-field product […]

While evaluating two teams he knows very well, the New York Jets and the Buffalo Bills, in the lead-up to Monday Night Football, ex-New England Patriots head coach-turned-analyst Bill Belichick laid out a pretty big assertion: the Jets were premature in their firing of Robert Saleh. A hot take? Eh, maybe so – he is […]

After watching his head coach, Nick Sirianni, chirp at fans and opposing players alike during the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns, it seemed like everyone had an opinion. Some loved the energy. Others were annoyed. And others still found it distracting from the task at hand. But what did the players […]

As the NFL world eagerly anticipated one of the biggest matchups of Week 6, the Buffalo Bills against the New York Jets in the “Battle of New York” – fittingly played in East Rutherford, New Jersey –  Josh Allen’s team has been hit with a crushing blow, as he will be without one of his […]
