If there’s one word that should define the Carolina Panthers season in 2024, it has to be player development. Sure, it would be nice to see the team put it all together, win more games than they lose, and represent their division in the playoffs like the Houston Texans last season, but if the team […]

When Sami Zayn took the ring against Roman Reigns at the Elimination Chamber in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, it felt like a potentially career-defining moment. If the ‘Underdog From the Underground’ was able to cash in the goodwill he amassed as the ‘Honorary Uce,’ a long-running story the likes of which Cody Rhodes hadn’t quite established, […]

When the Minnesota Vikings signed Sam Darnold after spending 2023 with the San Francisco 49ers, it felt like a classic case of a bridge QB.

When it comes to NBA content on ESPN, it’s only a matter of time before even the most veteran reporters have to comment on the Los Angeles Lakers. Call it a byproduct of being the most popular team in the NBA, call it a byproduct of the team being so gosh darn perplexing in their […]

After teasing Galactus with a drone show earlier in the weekend, Kevin Feige and the rest of Marvel Studios took to Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con to discuss the future of the MCU, and needless to say, they dropped an absolute bomb regarding the next Avengers movie, Avengers: Doomsday. Taking the stage surrounded by […]

When news broke that Beth Phoenix’s Legends contract had officially come to an end with WWE, fans almost immediately began to ask the same question: will she join Adam Copeland in AEW?

When WWE decided to put the SmackDown Tag Team Titles on the #DIY duo of Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, it felt like serendipity for the Cleveland grappler and his bearded “Blackheart” brother.

After a relatively quiet start to the 2024 offseason, bringing back a few of their own free agents, signing a few outside options, making some trades, and adding a pair of interesting options in the draft, the Phoenix Suns finally arrived with the addition of Tyus Jones, the former Washington Wizards point guard who took […]

When the Atlanta Hawks drafted Zaccharie Risacher with the first overall pick in the 2024 NBA draft, it changed the franchise forever.

With the main event of SummerSlam more or less set, Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa have nothing more to do but set the stage for the show, ratcheting up the drama while hopefully selling a few more tickets to the somehow not-sold-out show at Cleveland Browns Stadium.

Heading into SummerSlam weekend, The Bloodline found themselves with a small but potentially significant issue, potentially impacting their ability to leave Cleveland with as many belts as possible: Tonga Loa’s eye.

For the second this month, forward EJ Liddell is on the move, with the 6-foot-7, 240-pound forward out of Ohio State being sent to the Phoenix Suns for David Roddy not even three weeks after being acquired from the New Orleans Pelicans by the Atlanta Hawks. For the Suns, a team light on assets but […]

When the Brooklyn Nets made the rare cross-borough trade with the New York Knicks to send Mikal Bridges to Manhattan for Bojan Bogdanovic and a small war chest of draft picks, it seemingly signified a firesale at the Barclay Center, with anything not nailed down available for the right price.

When it comes to offenses in the NFL, few have a player who is as big a mismatch as Kyle Pitts, the third-year Atlanta Falcons tight end who practically set the athletic standards for the position coming out of Florida in 2021.
