When Samantha Irvin shocked the professional wrestling world by announcing her exit from WWE as Monday Night RAW‘s ring announcer, one narrative immediately came into focus: she should follow her finance Ricochet to AEW. On paper, it makes sense, right? Irvin is one of the very best ring announcers in the game, her betrothed looks […]

When it comes to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7, no player deserves the Player of the Game honors more than Cobie Durant, the third-year cornerback out of South Carolina State. Locked in at outside cornerback opposite Darious Williams, Durant did a little bit of everything against the Las Vegas Raiders; he had two […]

Before the start of the season, it didn’t look like the Washington Commanders were going to be very big players at the 2024 trade deadline. Sure, they had an exciting new franchise quarterback, at least in theory, and secured the serves of a new head coach and offensive coordinator to shake up systems that weren’t […]

When the Philadelphia Eagles signed Bryce Huff away from the New York Jets, they knew what kind of player they were committing over $51 million to. One of the most efficient pure pass rushers in the NFL, Huff didn’t really play against the run, didn’t really work as a base-package defensive end, and wasn’t used […]

With Cooper Kupp probably heading back to the field for the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7, fans are incredibly excited to see what the pride of Eastern Washington will bring to the table against the Las Vegas Raiders. Sure, the Raiders have a good passing defense and employ one of the best slot cornerbacks […]

When it comes to the WWE Universe in 2024, few performers hold as much pedigree as CM Punk and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson… unless you ask “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio. That’s right, despite having dozens of title reigns between them, having headlined the biggest shows imaginable, and selling millions upon millions of dollars worth of merch […]

It’s happening, San Francisco 49ers fans, it’s finally happening: after months of anticipation, first-round rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall will make his NFL debut in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. That’s right, after an encouraging summer overshadowed by Brandon Aiyuk drama and quite literally being shot in a robbery attempt gone wrong, Pearsall […]

As crazy as it may sound now, what with being one of the premier professional wrestlers in the world today, there was a time when Swerve Strickland just couldn’t seem to find his footing as a member of the WWE Universe. Initially starting things off as a singles guy, Strickland worked on his character, worked […]

After dropping two-straight wins in Weeks 4-5 to the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans, the Bills have a chance to go on their second winning streak of the 2024 NFL season in Week 7, when they face off against the lowly Titans of Tennessee. On paper, this feels sort of like a trap game, as […]

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. Would they give the first crack at the position to Fred Johnson, their usual backup at the position? Or would they instead […]

After turning in a dominant effort in Game 4 of the NLCS with Max Muncy kicked over to first base and Kiké Hernández taking his spot at third base, the Los Angeles Dodgers brought back Freddie Freeman for Game 5 in an attempt to close out the series and bring the World Series, not Game […]

As the NFL world grapples with the fact that one of the best teams in the AFC, the Buffalo Bills, just landed a new Pro Bowl wide receiver to go with their Pro Bowl QB, fans have taken a chance to reevaluate Alabama product Amari Cooper to see what kind of weapon he can be […]

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 […]
