After watching the Philadelphia Eagles defense go from encouraging to alarming to down-right disastrous in 2023, Howie Roseman, Nick Sirianni, and company wasted no time or resources addressing their issues in a major way, signing Vic Fangio, one of the best defensive coordinators in the NFL today, to replace Sean Desai at defensive coordinator. Through […]

When it comes to pure football acumen, few players are on the level of San Francisco 49ers middle linebacker Fred Warner. Somehow drafted in the third round out of BYU all the way back in 2018, Warner has rapidly transformed himself into a lethal weapon for the 49ers, holding up incredibly well against the pass, […]

When it comes to Paul Heyman, he doesn’t really think about The Bloodline’s storyline in terms of the PLE schedule, the calendar year, or even title lengths but instead through the lens of a baseball game, with each chapter of the storyline viewed instead as an inning for the native New Yorker. Now granted, this […]

After watching the Philadelphia Eagles season fall apart in a spectacular way back in January, with the team going from the best record in the NFL to an ugly Super Wild Card weekend loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there were genuine questions about the future of Nick Sirianni with the Birds. Some questioned if […]

Whenever Chris Jericho steps foot in the ring, runs a video package, or posts something online, one phrase will always follow: please retire. That’s right, ever since he formed the Jericho Appreciation Society and even, in some cases, before it, Jericho’s pension for putting himself over at the expense of younger talents, soaking up TV […]

While the San Francisco 49ers are currently the walking wounded, with over a dozen players on the injury report for one reason or another, Kyle Shanahan has still been afforded plenty of chances to evaluate the player he’ll be going into battle with come Week 1, from rookie UDFAs just fighting for a practice squad […]

Though the news technically broke before the start of Monday Night RAW, with the former All-Pro punter letting his fans know on social media to tune into WWE’s flagship show to see his final regular appearance of the year, Michael Cole and company made sure to make it official during the three-hour broadcast: Pat McAfee […]

With All In literally days away, seemingly the entirety of AEW has descended on the UK to help promote the company’s biggest show of the year, with everyone from Bryan Danielson to Swerve Strickland, Mariah May, Toni Storm, and even Mercedes Mone – in her Mone Mag Weekly – using their platforms to get a […]

After watching CM Punk shout out Florida Panthers executive Roberto Luongo and declare himself “Taylor Swift for men” in an incredible segment on Monday Night RAW, the fans in Sunrise, Florida, were treated to the task at hand: Drew McIntyre versus the “Second City Saint” at Bash in Berlin. Sure, Punk likes to have fun, […]

While losing Aaron Donald on the defensive side of the ball has been incredibly tricky for the Los Angeles Rams to overcome, as the 10-time Pro Bowler will unquestionably go down as one of the greatest defensive linemen of all time, his impact wasn’t only left on the gridiron, with the Pitt product providing just […]

After sitting through a brutal 2023 season that saw the Philadelphia Eagles take a step back at seemingly every step along the way from the 2022 heights of Nick Sirianni’s head coaching career, Jalen Hurts and company are flying high so far this summer under new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. The offense has looked new […]

When AEW announced that Mercedes Mone was releasing her own digital newsletter, the Moné Mag Weekly, coming to fans “Live From the Desk of the CEO,” it seemed like a relatively non-story for fans of professional wrestling. Sure, Mone has told a few fun stories, opened up about her past, present, and future in the […]

With the summer almost over and the preseason finale scheduled for this weekend against Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings, the Philadelphia Eagles are going to have some tough decisions to make as they trim their roster down to 53 players. Now granted, there are anywhere between 40-45 players who have nothing to worry about, […]

Before the WWE Universe officially opened up Monday Night RAW with a series of matches, promos, and even CM Punk comparing himself to the biggest entertainer on the planet at the moment, Taylor Swift, Jackie Redmond caught up with Roberto Luongo of the Florida Panthers to talk about his team’s big Stanley Cup win earlier […]

Though Roman Reigns has been back in the WWE Universe for a few weeks now, making his triumphant return at SummerSlam and appearing on both episodes of SmackDown since costing Solo Sikoa the WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes, one aspect of his presentation has been sorely lacking: “The Wiseman” Paul Heyman. Now granted, this is […]

After teasing his return to the WWE ring for a promo one week after leaving massive marks on Drew McIntyre’s back with a leather strap, CM Punk didn’t go full-on fire and brimstone, accusing his foe of being evil, heartless, or a bully – okay, he eventually got there – but instead to shout out […]

With Cody Rhodes set to wrestle his friend Kevin Owens at Bash in Berlin as a sort of favor for always having his back, more than a few fans have had one question in particular about the “American Nightmare’s” future schedule: why not give a similar shot to Randy Orton? On paper, it makes sense, […]

After doing everything in his power to make the Brooklyn Nets into the sort of team that can attract star players like James Harden, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving, Cam Thomas finds himself looking a lot like the Will Smith empty room meme, with even Mikal Bridges opting to leave BK for the brighter light […]

After weeks of speculation, the Duke Blue Devils have officially landed on their new starting quarterback, with Maalik Murphy, the transfer from the University of Texas, beating out Henry Belin IV and Grayson Loftis, according to ESPN College Football Senior Writer Pete Thamel. “Sources: Duke quarterback Maalik Murphy has won the Blue Devil starting job […]

Who is the Philadelphia Eagles’ WR3 behind AJ Brown and DeVona Smith? Is it the most tenured player in the group, punter returned-turned-offensive weapon Britain Covey? Or how about rookie sixth-round pick Johnny Wilson, who has thoroughly lapped fifth-rounder Ainias Smith for playing time? Could it be free agent signee Parris Campbell, who signed with […]

When it comes to certified Vince McMahon haters, few are as high profile and long-lasting as Bret Hart, the former WWF Champion and leader of the Hart Foundation, who has been feuding with the former Chairman of the Board both work and shoot since the Montreal Screwjob back in the 1990s. Now even at the […]

After suffering a brutal setback just as the summer was heating up last month, landing on the Non-Football Injury List with a hamstring injury, Cooper DeJean has made his triumphant return to training camp ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles’ final preseason game, logging 12 snaps in his first practice of August in 7-on-7 drills for […]

As John Cena prepares for the final year of his professional wrestling career, fans have been clamoring to see who “The Champ” will wrestle in 2025. Will he challenge Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship? Or maybe go for Bron Breakker’s IC Title to become a Grand Slam Champion? Could Cena wrestle Randy Orton once […]

After being widely viewed as the linebacker of the future, Nakobe Dean entered the summer as one of the Philadelphia Eagles’ biggest question marks. On one hand, the Eagles loaded up on talent at the position in Devon White, Zack Baun, Oren Burks, and Jeremiah Trotter, the most popular fifth-round pick in Philadelphia history, which […]

Heading into the Philadelphia Eagles’ preseason battle against the New England Patriots, one of the few positional battles fans were hoping to see shake out was between incumbent right guard Tyler Steen, who was handed the position based on pedigree alone heading into the summer, and Mekhi Becton, the former New York Jets tackle who […]

While CM Punk has almost been outside of the AEW Galaxy for a full year now, with his infamous fight with Jack Perry coming just before the opening match of last year’s All In at Wembley Stadium, the “Second City Saint” just can’t help but get asked questions about his former home and how his […]

After promising a show filled to the brim with shocks, twists, and surprises, the one big surprise “debut” – re-debut? – of SummerSlam didn’t come from a free agent-signee from Japan, CMLL, or even AEW, but instead a certified WWE Hall of Famer who hasn’t worked a match since 2000: the “Enforcer” Arn Anderson. Now, […]

Brock Purdy has been a member of the San Francisco 49ers since 2022, when he went from Mr. Irrelevant to the most unlikely starting quarterback in the NFL. Over that run, he’s been questioned at every turn, set records that previously seemed impossible for a seventh-round pick, and has become arguably the most polarizing player […]

After watching the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense look downright bad in 2023, with then-offensive coordinator Brian Johnson seemingly unwilling to throw the ball across the middle of the field despite having a certified YAC machine in AJ Brown, one of the most exciting developments of the summer has been the absolute dominance of Jalen Hurts as […]

Where some teams have largely rested their starting players to avoid a freak injury so far this summer, the New England Patriots have decided to take a notably different approach to the preseason, playing (almost) all of their top players for notable action over Weeks 1-2 in order to give Jared Mayo and company as […]

As Bryan Danielson prepares for what could very well be his final match as a professional wrestler at All In, going face-to-face with Swerve Strickland in a World Championship versus Career match in the main event, the “American Dragon” has been feeling somewhat nostalgic about his career, and not just because of Tony Khan’s excellent […]

When it comes to the Philadelphia Eagles, the most popular player on the roster is usually the backup quarterback… unless that player is Kenny Pickett. Initially acquired from the Steelers earlier this summer in the rare cross-state pick for pick+player swap, Pickett seemed like the sort of player who could thrive in Philadelphia, a local […]

For the second time this summer, the Anoa’i-Fatu family has lost one of its true luminaries in WWE Hall of Famer Afa Anoa’i, who has sadly passed away at 81, almost two months after the passing of his brother and fellow Wild Samoan Sika Anoa’i. Beginning his professional wrestling career after his exit from the […]

Arguably the most surprising storyline to come out of SummerSlam weekend wasn’t WWE’s decision to split up the Judgment Day, having Bron Breakker become the IC Champion in a relatively meh match against Sami Zayn, or even the return of Roman Reigns, but instead the return of the Hardy Boyz, Jeff and Matt Hardy, who […]

When it comes to the Los Angeles Rams, the biggest storyline of the summer hasn’t been how the team would replace Aaron Donald, which young players are pushing their veteran counterparts, or even the one-two punch of Jared Verse and Braden Fiske coming in from Florida State but instead Stetson Bennett, the redshirt rookie quarterback […]

With Scott D’Amore officially out of the Impact Zone after a failed attempt to buy the promotion out from under current owner Anthem, it’s safe to say the face of TNA wrestling is Joe Hendry, even if he now gets much more acclaim for his appearances in the WWE Universe as the fastest-rising star in […]

When news broke that rookie quarterback JJ McCarthy, the 10th overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, would be out indefinitely with a torn meniscus, it left fans of the Philadelphia Eagles with one thought, and one thought alone: Howie Roseman, get on the phone and offer up Kenny Pickett. Now granted, a torn meniscus […]

While the Philadelphia Eagles’ preseason debut against the Baltimore Ravens was an all-around impressive effort, with plenty of the team’s key players turning in quality efforts, the game wasn’t just about the top-tier talents locked into 53-man roster spots but instead the fringe guys who are looking to make waves and earn important roles. Fortunately, […]

There was a time in early 2022 when the hottest storyline in AEW, nay, professional wrestling period, revolved around the heated feud between MJF and CM Punk. Working a program that featured blood, A+ promos, entrance music theft, and ultimately one of the best Dog Collar matches of all time, MJF and Punk truly elevated […]
