In one of the most surprising moves of the 2024 NFL season so far, Puka Nacua made his triumphant return to the field for the Los Angeles Rams just in time for Thursday Night Football, where he went off to the tune of seven catches on nine targets for 106 yards. Now granted, the idea […]

When Samantha Irvin formally announced her exit from WWWE, successfully petitioning for her exit from the promotion to pursue outside interests, it turned heads around the professional wrestling world, from fans in the comments to WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. A long-time ring announcer on RAW who captured the hearts and imaginations of fans with her […]

After watching Freddie Freeman become the first man in MLB history to hit a walk-off grand slam in a World Series game, Los Angeles Dodgers fans were absolutely over the moon. Basketball players like Joel Embiid commented on the hit, as did local LA brands, and even one of the true stalwarts of professional athletics […]

With the WWE Universe rapidly approaching Crown Jewel on Saturday, November 2nd, in Saudi Arabia, SmackDown fans watching along on the USA Network were afforded a chance to watch Gunther and Cody Rhodes square up face-to-face in the ring in what might go down as their final interaction before next Saturday’s main event. And needless […]

After watching Shohei Ohtani fly out to left field and Mookie Betts get intentionally walked to load the bases in the bottom of the tenth, Freddie Freeman approached the plate with the hopes of the Dodgers and the entire city of Los Angeles on his back. Struggling mightily through the playoffs due to his injuries, […]

When it comes to the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive efforts in Week 7, the conversation starts and likely ends with the name Saquon Barkley. Taking the field against his former team in his first-ever game at MetLife Stadium not wearing a Giants uniform, Barkley recorded more yards on his own than the entire New York roster […]

When the New England Patriots secured a win in Week 1, it looked like all of the discussions about this being a down year were overblown. The Patriots marched into Cincinnati, considered Super Bowl contenders by many before the season, and took care of business, dishing the Bengals their first of four losses through seven […]

Though Bobby Lashley is technically a wrestling free agent, assuming he doesn’t have a secret AEW contract to go with the additions of MVP and Shelton Benjamin, that hasn’t stopped the “All Mighty” from talking turkey about his former employee, WWE. Sitting down for an appearance at K&S Virtual Signing, Lashley commented on some of […]

In the lead-up to the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 7 game against the New York Giants, the biggest storyline fans kept an eye on was Saquon Barkley’s return to MetLife Stadium. Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out particularly well for the G-Men, as Barkley had his second-best game as a pro and outgained his former team singlehandedly […]

After taking care of business in a commanding way in Week 7 against the New York Giants, the Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for a Week 8 showdown against the Cincinnati Bengals in Ohio, but not at full strength. That’s right, after watching Dallas Goedert go down in Week 6 with a hamstring injury and […]

After watching the New York Giants look like a plucky team capable of putting up yards and points against darn near anybody, the Philadelphia Eagles took the short drive up I-95, followed Saquon Barkley out of the tunnel, and went on to kick the ever-loving heck out of their division rivals. Jalen Hurts threw an […]

After being held out of action for the first six weeks of the 2024 NFL season, Ricky Pearsall made his triumphant NFL debut for the San Francisco 49ers. And the results? Well, they were pretty encouraging, with the first-round pick out of Florida catching three of the five balls thrown his way for 21 yards. […]

After securing only their second win of the 2024 NFL season with an exciting effort against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Los Angeles Raiders have found themselves with the unenviable task of slowing down one of the best receivers in the NFL: Justin Jefferson. Serving as the focal point of one of the most surprisingly […]

When Jey Uso defeated Bron Breakker for the Intercontinental Championship, it rubbed many a member of the WWE Universe the wrong way. Sure, the idea of the title change made some sense; WWE pulled the exact same card with Breakker in NXT using Dolph Ziggler in the Uso spot, and Shawn Michaels did the exact […]

Through the first seven weeks of the 2024 NFL season, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has been one of the premier playmakers in the NFL. He ranks third in the league in rushing yards despite only having appeared in six games, has a long run in basically every game so far this season, and […]

When Adam Cole made his triumphant return at WrestleDream, it felt like a long time coming for the AEW star. After headlining Webley Stadium at the first running of AEW All In, Cole’s career took an ugly turn when he destroyed his ankle jumping off the ramp at Grand Slam 2023, leading to multiple surgeries […]

When news broke that Robert Saleh, fresh off being fired by the New York Jets, had been spotted at Green Bay Packers practice, it turned heads around the NFL. With a hefty sum left on his contract for the next few years, as the Jets are still obliged to pay him even after his exit, […]

When the Philadelphia Eagles decided to try out Cooper DeJean at punt returner in Week 3, it really had no downside. At the time, DeJean wasn’t really playing on defense, logging just seven defensive snaps in Week 1-2 combined after missing much of camp; factor in Britain Covey being placed on IR alongside Annis Smith […]

While fans of the Los Angeles Rams are hyped up to see Cooper Kupp return to the field in Week 8 for a Thursday Night Football throwdown against the Minnesota Vikings, there’s another wide receiver waiting in the wings for his future return: Puka Nacua. Since going down in Week 1 with a PCL sprain, […]

As WWE, TKO, and the McMahon family, Vince and Linda, have been rocked with a brand new lawsuit regarding the alleged abuse of Ring Boys by former ring announcer Mel Phillips, one of the lawyers for Janel Grant, Ann Callis, has taken to social media to deliver her own statement on the situation. Releasing a […]

As the WWE Universe, at least behind the scenes, continues to grapple with running a very successful wrestling promotion while being investigated by the Department of Justice for sex trafficking and sexual assault, the promotion has been hit with another lawsuit, this time for their handling of underaged “Ring Boys” in decades past. Centered around […]

When news broke early in the morning that DeAndre Hopkins had been traded to the Kansas City Chiefs for a conditional fifth-round pick, it took the NFL by storm. Suddenly, the top current NFL quarterback was paired up with a Hall of Fame-bound wide receiver, and it seemed like everyone in the professional sporting world […]

After weeks and weeks of doom and gloom, the Los Angeles Rams are back and better than ever, recording their first win after the bye and getting some much-needed reinforcements in the form of Cooper Kupp, who is expected to make his return in time for Week 8. At 2-4, sure, the road to the […]

While the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 7 thrashing of the New York Giants was among the better showings you will see from Philly’s finest, with the team winning all three facets of the game in commanding fashion, not everyone had a marquee afternoon in East Rutherford, New Jersey. DeVonta Smith finished the game with -2 receiving […]

When news broke that Daniel Garcia was considering a move from AEW to WWE amid his first major crack at professional wrestling free agency, fans across the IWC more or less made the same joke: DG is going to be incredibly popular with the ladies of NXT. Now, for the uninitiated, it’s become somewhat of […]

With Deshaun Watson officially heading to IR with a torn ACL and Dorien Thompson-Robinson out for the foreseeable future with a finger injury, the Cleveland Browns are going to start Jameis Winston by process of elimination in Week 8, right? Yup, as if that wasn’t clear enough, Fox Sports NFL Insider Jordan Schultz made it […]

As things presently stand, the WWE Universe is in a very good spot, with the promotion as hot as ever and fans very happy with the creative direction Paul “Triple H” Levesque has forged, even if there are the occasional missteps along the way. Ticket sales are up, sell-outs are almost weekly, and with a […]

When Ricky Pearsall finally made his debut for the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7, it felt like a special moment not just for fans of the red and gold but of the NFL, period. A first-round pick, fresh off of his being shot just before the season, was back before Halloween and would slowly […]

Sitting not-so-pretty with a 3-4 overall record and a 1-4 conference record in their debut season in the Big Ten, fans have been clamoring to see something change before the entire USC season goes down the tubes. Unfortunately for fans of LA’s most centrally located collegiate franchise, that change won’t be coming under center, as […]

After averaging more than two turnovers per game before the bye, Jalen Hurts has been darn near perfect with the ball in his hands in October, throwing exactly zero interceptions while keeping the ball off the ground as a runner. What gives? Have the Eagles radically changed their offense to be more Hurts-friendly? Or has […]

Earlier this year, Sting had what many consider the perfect retirement match in AEW. He went on a three-year win streak, winning the AEW Tag Team Championship along the way, and at Revolution, Sting went out on top, defeating the Young Bucks with Darby Allin and his sons in front of a packed crowd in […]

Before the Cleveland Browns’ season changed forever in Week 7, with Deshaun Watson tearing his ACL ahead of a surefire one-way trip to season-ending IR, Kevin Stefanski made another change at quarterback, benching Jameis Winston from the QB2 spot in order to allow second-year pro Dorian Thompson-Robinson to be the primary backup. But why? Were […]

When rumors, news, and videos alike of New York Giants fans burning Saquon Barkley jerseys took the internet by storm on Sunday, it bothered Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons deeply. Now sure, maybe it’s because the duo are both Penn State products and that PSU pride holds a special place for members of Nittany Nation, […]

After securing a massive win over the Las Vegas Raiders while still down most of their premier players, fans of the Los Angeles Rams are feeling darn good. Sure, the team is only averaging one win per month through the first seven weeks of the 2024 NFL season, but their defense looked darn good in […]

Since turning the keys over from Bryce Young to Andy Dalton, the Carolina Panthers have been among the worst teams in the NFL. They’ve lost four of five, rank bottom-10 in every major offensive and defensive category, and currently hold a point differential of -133, which feels borderline impossible through seven games. … what? How […]

If WWE is #Cinema, as some fans consistently boldly claim, who is the director? Does that fall on Paul “Triple H” Levesque’s shoulders? Or is “The Game” more of an executive producer, with individual directors helming each storyline like a television show? Well, in Cody Rhodes’ opinion, it’s the latter. That’s right, in an interview […]

When Samantha Irvin shocked the professional wrestling world by announcing her exit from WWE as Monday Night RAW‘s ring announcer, one narrative immediately came into focus: she should follow her finance Ricochet to AEW. On paper, it makes sense, right? Irvin is one of the very best ring announcers in the game, her betrothed looks […]

When it comes to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7, no player deserves the Player of the Game honors more than Cobie Durant, the third-year cornerback out of South Carolina State. Locked in at outside cornerback opposite Darious Williams, Durant did a little bit of everything against the Las Vegas Raiders; he had two […]

Before the start of the season, it didn’t look like the Washington Commanders were going to be very big players at the 2024 trade deadline. Sure, they had an exciting new franchise quarterback, at least in theory, and secured the serves of a new head coach and offensive coordinator to shake up systems that weren’t […]
