Logan Paul and Kevin Nash are deep in the weeds of the latest, not-so-greatest digital feud within the WWE Universe, with either man taking a shot at the other just when it felt like their feud was coming to an end. Nash has complained about Paul, Paul took a shot right back at Nash, and […]

Through the first two weeks of the 2024 NFL season, the Los Angeles Chargers have been one of the true surprise stories of the AFC.

In one week, Nigel McGuinness will do something he hasn’t since all the way back in December of 2011: wrestle a single match.

Heading into Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season, expectations were incredibly high for the Los Angeles Rams. Sure, the team came up short in Week 1 against the Detroit Lions, losing in overtime in a game they very well could have won if a few more things shook their way, but there would be […]

When it comes to evaluating the Philadelphia Eagles’ efforts in Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season, it’s hard to run out of descriptors for the loss. Ugly? Check. Brutal? Yup. A disgrace? You said it, not me… even if I agree. Really, there are as many ways to describe the Eagels’ errors as there […]

When Swerve Strickland and Bryan Danielson took the ring in the main event of All In, it marked the end of a pretty incredible moment for the AEW World Champion.

So why, you may wonder, has John “Bradshaw” Layfield, or  JBL for short, been, well, everywhere in the professional wrestling world as of late, appearing in AAA, MLW, TNA, GCW, and beyond over the past few months?

On paper, it […]

As the Philadelphia Eagles drove down the length of the field on their way to what they expected would be the game-winning drive, Nick Sirianni made the play call of the game, throwing the ball to Saquon Barkley on third and three to ice out and go up ten. The only problem? Barkley dropped the […]

When Swerve Strickland took the ring against – and a syringe to the cheek from – “Hangman” Adam Page,  AEW was making a certified choice.

WWE in 2024 is a very different place than at any point in the promotion’s history, and not just because Cody Rhodes finally became the Undisputed Universal Champion.

When the Philadelphia Eagles take the field against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2, there will be one player above all others at the top of Nick Sirianni’s scouting report: Bijan Robinson.
