If there’s one player in the Baltimore doghouse, likely hidden somewhere under Federal Hill Park, it’s Justin Tucker.

When the Los Angeles Rams signed Jimmy Garoppolo to a $3.18 million contract during the offseason, it led to more than a few confused reactions around Southern California. Why, fans wondered, did the Rams sign a 33-year-old quarterback to back up their 36-year-old quarterback when there were more interesting under-30 players who could theoretically learn […]

In Week 13’s edition of Monday Night Football, Jameis Winston turned in an incredible* performance. * minus throwing three interceptions, including two pick-6s. That’s right, in a game that almost wholly encapsulates the “Famous Jameis” experience,  Winston came just three yards short of 500 passing yards, tacking on four aerial touchdowns to that mark after […]

When news broke that the Los Angeles Rams had successfully claimed Emmanuel Forbes off of waivers from the Washington Commanders, it raised eyebrows around Southern California. Sure, the Rams’ secondary has been alright in 2024, with free agent Darious Williams working out well and Tre’Davious White already traded to the Baltimore Ravens – where he […]

After turning in double-digit winning season after double-digit winning season for the Dallas Cowboys since making the jump from Green Bay to Big D in 2020, with his debut season the only one to miss that mark, Mike McCarthy’s future with the team is very much up in the air. On one hand, he’s been […]

When Ben VanSumeren went down at practice in the week leading up to Week 13, it sent Philadelphia Eagles fans into disarray. Finally, after some 20 years without a lead blocker regularly deployed in the running game, the Eagles have stumbled on a player new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore was actually willing to use, and […]

Jalen Carter might just be the Philadelphia Eagles’ best defensive player. Yes, the team has an overflow of young, exciting talent at all three levels of the defense, plus a few exciting veteran players who have helped to even out the highs and lows of a 17-game season, but through just 28 games of action, […]

In Week 13, the Philadelphia Eagles finally did it. Taking the field as underdogs for the first time since their Week 8 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Nick Sirianni’s team lined up against the other best rushing team in the NFL, one boasting an elite passing game and an elite run defense to boot that […]

On December 2nd, 2024, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf officially got his hands on an NFL Championship… belt.

For the first time in three years, the San Francisco 49ers are in danger of missing the playoffs. Kyle Shanahan’s team is now on a three-game losing streak, two games out of first place with only five games left to play, and are on pace to be one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL, […]

WWE fans, it’s official: Drew McIntyre is back and has his sights set on Sami Zayn, Jey Uso, and The Bloodline.

There’s no two ways about it: Jameis Winston has become one of the most popular players in the NFL, but not for the reason you might think. No, it’s not because he’s got the Browns up to 2-2 over the past four games, is throwing for darn near 300 yards a game, or because of […]

When Paul Heyman brought out CM Punk to be the fifth member of the Roman Reigns’ OG Bloodline WarGames team, it felt like a full-circle moment in more ways than one.

When the Indianapolis Colts scored a touchdown with 12 seconds to go at the end of regulation against the New England Patriots, head coach Shane Steichen was left with a very tough decision: tie things up at 24-24 with a Matt Gay extra point or go for the win by handing the ball to starting […]

There’s no two ways about it: Week 13 was an ugly cherry on top of a horrible season by Justin Tucker. After struggling on field goals and extra points all season long, Tucker consistently put the Ravens behind the T with his inefficiency, missing two of his four field goal attempts and even one of […]

There’s no two ways about it: the Denver Broncos are on a roll. Since succumbing to a slow start to the 2024 season, scoring as many points in a pair of losses combined as they gave up to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1 alone, the Broncos have slowly but surely figured out the Sean […]

There’s no two ways about it; the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 13 game against the Baltimore Ravens is going to be a tough, physical affair the likes of which neither team has truly experienced in 2024.

Heading into Survivor Series, one of the final matches added to the card was Shinsuke Nakamura versus LA Knight for the United States Championship.

Understandably, Reigns […]

While the Baltimore Ravens were able to secure a win over the Los Angeles Chargers in the “Harbowl” between brothers Jim and John Harbaugh, it did come at a cost, with tight end Charlie Kolar suffering what looked like a pretty serious injury in the contest.

After finally reuniting with Roman Reigns – and CM Punk – in the leadup to Survivor Series: WarGames, Paul Heyman was asked one single question by CBS Sports: Where does The Bloodline stack up in the history of WWE? Is the storyline an all-timer? Or does it need to play out before Heyman officially makes […]

After spending decades in the NFL, rising up the ranks on the defensive side of the ball, Jim Schwartz has pretty much seen it all.
