Earlier this summer, life was good for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

[…]

After months and months of anticipation, the Philadelphia Eagles took the field against the Cincinnati Bengals for their first of three preseason games, and the results were pretty good.

For 1.3 million fans around the world, their Wednesday evening was filled with a live broadcast of the latest edition of New Heights, the Jason and Travis Kelce podcast featuring special guest Taylor Swift.

When the Los Angeles Dodgers lost their fifth-straight game of the season to the Los Angeles Angels, Dave Roberts left fans with one major departing note: “Now it’s a new season.

When Michael Conforto approached the plate with the bases loaded and two outs against a Los Angeles Angels team with their number, fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers had a pretty good idea of how the at-bat would go. Originally signed away from the rival San Francisco Giants to play left field after injuries forced […]

When it comes to the story of professional wrestling in America, it simply cannot be told without two names: Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon.

While many a fan of the Los Angeles Rams holds their collective breath waiting to find out if Matthew Stafford will be able to go in Week 1 against the Houston Texans, one of the bright spots of the summer has been the play of UDFA North Carolina lineman Willie Lampkin. One of the smallest […]

While the NL MVP race is in full swing, with Los Angeles Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani the favorite to bring it home for the third year in a row, there is a vocal, growing segment of fans who believe Philadelphia Phillies left fielder Kyle Schwarber should be in that conversation, too. Currently tied with Ohtani for […]

When the Los Angeles Dodgers decided against shelling out a king’s ransom for one of the top trade candidates on the proverbial board, like Jhoan Duran or Steven Kwan, it polarized fans to a major degree. How, some wondered, could a team with serious playoff aspirations be so unwilling to go all-in on another World […]

Whenever free agents land in the City of Brotherly Love, one of the first things they comment on is the Philadelphia Eagles’ culture, noting that the team is unlike any other organization they have played for in the NFL. For 2025 free-agent addition Josh Uche, he knew the Eagles were special before he even put […]

As fans may or may not have heard, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is not one of the elite, top-tier quarterbacks in the NFL, at least according to Mike Sando of The Athletic. Dubbed the kind of player who can “carry his team sometimes but not as consistently” as the truly elite talents the NFL […]

For the vast majority of the summer, fans of the Los Angeles Rams have been waiting with bated breath to learn some good news about quarterback Matthew Stafford. A consistent stalwart of LA’s injury report, Sean McVay and company have noted that Stafford is close to returning from a back injury, but at each step […]

There’s no two ways about it: Yoshinobu Yamamoto did not have his best stuff in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ first of three against the Los Angeles Angels. Having his first pushed back a day to provide some additional rest following a grueling start to the season, Yamamoto didn’t look like the ace who was earning […]

Whenever the Los Angeles Angels and Los Angeles Dodgers link up for the Freeway Series, things are always going to get testy. While far from the biggest rivalry in professional sports, or even in Major League Baseball, the Angels have always had a chip on their shoulders for being the other baseball team to call […]

When the Baltimore Ravens made Malaki Starks the 27th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, fans around the league openly wondered how the Georgia rusher would fit into Zach Orr’s scheme alongside Swiss-Army Knife safety Kyle Hamilton. So far, that prospect remains firmly incomplete, as the Ravens have just one preseason game under their […]

At the top of the depth chart, the Baltimore Ravens are more or less set when it comes to running back, with Derrick Henry and Justice Hill locked into the top-2 spots. But behind them? Well, things get much less clear with Keaton Mitchell and Rasheen Ali both questionable with injuries. So, with a preseason […]

Before he was an analyst for Fox Sports. Before he purchased a minority share of the Las Vegas Raiders. Before he won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And before he even took the New England Patriots on an absolute run after taking the starting spot away from Drew Bledsoe, Tom Brady was […]

In a game where Blake Snell recorded double-digit strikeouts in his first game at Dodger Stadium since April, the headlines once again go to Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, who officially joined the 40 home run club with an absolute no-doubter to center field.

Discussing their relationship back in WWE during an interview with Wrestling Figure News, Strickland revealed how he and Wyatt became friends and how much his mentorship […]

After spending all of 2024 and the first half of the 2025 MLB season as a hitter only – albeit one good enough to win an MVP award – Shohei Ohtani pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers has become increasingly commonplace so far this summer, with the two-way unicorn posting a 2.37 ERA over his […]

With the NFL season rapidly approaching, one of the biggest questions surrounding the Indianapolis Colts is the status of starting quarterback Anthony Richardson… and his pinky.

After weeks of hyping up the training camp competition between Kelee Ringo and Adoree’ Jackson for the vacant CB2 spot, Philadelphia Eagles fans got to see the battle breakdown first hand in the team’s 2025 preseason debut against the Cincinnati Bengals, and the results were… not good. Starting both corners on the outside, the duo […]

As crazy as it may sound, the calendar has turned over from July to August, and the Philadelphia 76ers’ roster still isn’t technically complete. Now granted, that is largely a matter of semantics, as eventually, Quentin Grimes will be locked away on a new contract, be that something long-term or the dreaded qualifying offer. But […]

When Detroit Lions cornerback Morice Norris went down with a scary injury at the top of the fourth quarter of the team’s preseason debut against the Atlanta Falcons, it left fans concerned.

After intense speculation about which cornerback would replace Darius Slay in the Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive subpackages, Kelee Ringo or Adoree’ Jackson, fans were afforded a glimpse at the CB2 battle first-hand in the preseason debut, when the duo went up against Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and the rest of the Cincinnati Bengals’ starting offense. The […]

Heading into the 2025 NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles more or less have their depth chart locked.

When Brock Lesnar made his triumphant return to the WWE Universe after the main event of SummerSlam Night 2, it instantly became one of the most controversial calls in wrestling history.

When it comes to backup competitions in the NFL, few hold the same weight as the mid-card battle royal between Zach Wilson and Quinn Ewers for the right to play behind Miami Dolphins starter Tua Tagovailoa. In one corner is the veteran former second overall pick who joins Miami as a free agent following stints […]

When it comes to the release of the Philadelphia Eagles’ first unofficial depth chart of 2025, crucially put together by the team’s PR staff, there aren’t too many surprises. On the offensive side of the ball, there is just one new starter out of 11, with Tyler Steen earning the right guard spot previously held […]

When Max Muncy went down with a scary leg injury at the beginning of July, it felt to many fans like he took the entire Los Angeles Dodgers offense with him. An underrated hitter who always gives opposing pitchers tough at-bats, Muncy did a little bit of everything for the Dodgers in the middle of […]

For the second time in under a decade, the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl, but they did so in a somewhat unusual way. You see, the first go around, the Eagles really pushed their chips to the center of the table in the pursuit of greatness, giving out big money contracts in free agency, […]

When the Los Angeles Rams signed Jimmy Garoppolo to a new contract during the offseason, it turned more than a few heads.

When news broke that the Boston Celtics were trading recently acquired combo forward Georges Niang and two future second-round picks to the Utah Jazz for RJ Luis Jr., it left fans wondering how Brad Stevens would further address his frontcourt heading into a forthcoming season without Jayson Tatum.

When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded a king’s ransom for DK Metcalf, fans had a pretty good idea who would be the team’s WR1 for the foreseeable future, but after shipping away George Pickens, who would be his running mate and number two target for new quarterback Aaron Rodgers? Well, while the Steelers do have a […]

How can the Los Angeles Dodgers get Mookie Betts out of his slump? Could they move him out of the first or second spot in the order, deploying instead some combination of Shohei Ohtani, Will Smith, and Freddie Freeman at the top of the order? Nope, Dave Roberts has already shot that idea down. How […]

There’s no two ways about it: Mookie Betts is in the middle of the worst season of his Los Angeles Dodgers career. A former MVP who was a pivotal part of two World Series championships in LA, Betts still doesn’t look comfortable playing shortstop, has lost his power at the plate, and isn’t getting on […]

Though the preseason is still technically a few days away, two teams just hit the war rooms to execute a good old-fashioned training camp trade, with the Philadelphia Eagles sending defensive linemen Thomas Booker IV to the Las Vegas Raiders for former fourth-round pick Jakorian Bennett, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. For the Eagles, this […]

In 2025, when a defensive player, especially a Philadelphia Eagles rookie, draws a comparison to Micah Parsons, it’s a big deal. The gold standard for both the edge rusher and inside linebacker position, Parsons can do a little bit of everything incredibly well and is currently feuding with Jerry Jones over how much that ability […]
