It happened, it finally happened: the Philadelphia Eagles have figured it out. Now granted, the team has looked good since returning from the bye, securing a fun Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns and a dominant W over the New York Giants the week after that, but those wins were against bad teams and […]

When Bobby Lashley officially left WWE to test the open market of wrestling free agency, most fans had more or less the same assumption: the “All Mighty” was AEW bound. On paper, it made sense, right? Lashley could stay in WWE and continue to work a limited schedule or return to TNA and go on […]

With eight weeks officially in the books for the 2024 NFL season, the Chicago Bears find themselves in a weird spot. On one hand, the team is 4-3, is slowly figuring out their identity, and have been cautiously optimistic about the early signs of Caleb Williams, who looks better with each passing week, even as […]

When the Cincinnati Bengals took the field in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles, they were famously favored to secure the win. Now granted, they were the home team, and they weren’t even favored by a field goal by most margins, but in the end, anyone who put money on the Bengals looked pretty foolish, […]

After giving his Cleveland Browns an unlikely shot in the arm in Week 7 following injuries to Deshaun Watson and Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Jameis Winston was afforded his first start in two years against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. A tough draw for the former Florida State product? You bet, but that didn’t stop him […]

After spending a month plus without their top-two wide receivers, the cavalry officially came to save Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams’ season in Week 8, with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp officially making their returns on Thursday Night Football. The offense looked alive, the Rams looked rejuvenated, and Sean McVay has a ton […]

When Bray Wyatt tragically passed away at the tender age of 36, no one would have held it against Taylor Rotunda, aka Bo Dallas, aka Uncle Howdy, if he never stepped foot in a WWE ring again as a professional wrestler. Sure, he would almost certainly make an occasional appearance for the promotion from time […]

When it comes to the moniker of Mr. October, Freddie Freeman is making about as strong a case as any other player in MLB for the honor, hitting three straight home runs in three straight World Series games from the third spot in the Dodgers’ rotation. His walk-off grand slam in Game 1? Iconic, an […]

When Shohei Ohtani went down with a brutal-looking arm injury in Game 2 of the World Series, Dodgers Stadium fell silent. Sure, the injury was later deemed a shoulder subluxation, with Dave Roberts noting that his MVP slugger would probably be just fine in time for Game 3, fans still have the memory of number […]

When Jey Uso lost the IC Title to Bron Breakker 28 days into his title run, WWE fans just had to know the elder statesman of The Bloodline, Rikishi, would have something to say on the matter. The biggest fan of the “Yeet Man” maybe on earth, Rikishi banged the table for him to win […]

While NFL fans have been dreaming about Cooper Kupp playing for their favorite team, the Los Angeles Rams have officially placed one of their former Pro Bowlers on the trade block. However it’s not the pride of Eastern Washington, who had a huge first game back on Thursday Night Football. That’s right, even if the […]

What is wrong with the Milwaukee Bucks? Sitting not-so-pretty with a 1-2 record to start out the 2024-25 NBA season despite playing the Chicago Bulls, the Brooklyn Nets, and the walking-wounded Philadelphia 76ers to start out the year, the Bucks have been allowing opposing guards to put up huge numbers through the first week of […]

After taking a two-game skid heading into the bye, the Los Angeles Chargers have been playing very well in the month of October. They beat down on the Denver Broncos in Week 6, took a close loss to a very confusing Arizona Cardinals team in Week 7 – despite Justin Herbert throwing for 349 yards […]

For the first time in 2024, Nick Chubb took the field for the Cleveland Browns in uniform. That’s right, after suffering an absolutely brutal injury in 2023 that called his long-term career into question, Chubb was back in the starting lineup and immediately went to work, picking up 22 yards on 11 carries plus a […]

After watching Shohei Ohtani go down with a scary shoulder injury on a failed slide attempt at the bottom of the seventh, Los Angeles Dodgers fans in California, Japan, and the rest of the world over waited with bated breath for some news – hopefully good news – on the MVP. Diagnosed with a shoulder […]

After smashing a walk-off Grand Slam with two outs at the bottom of the 10th, first baseman Freddie Freeman is already off to a World Series run that few Los Angeles Dodgers fans will soon forget. And in Game 2? The former MVP only added to his legacy in a way that hasn’t been seen […]

At the end of the seventh inning, Los Angeles Dodgers DH Shohei Ohtani went for a stolen base, as he’s done some 60-plus times before during the 2024 MLB campaign. Unfortunately, he didn’t get the bag, as he was thrown out on his way to second, but frankly, few fans will really care about that […]

Heading into Thursday Night Football, fans openly wondered if the game could serve as the final NFL game Cooper Kupp would play in a Los Angeles Rams uniform. The Rams were 2-4, had struggled mightily in 2024, and were an ugly loss versus the Minnesota Vikings away from a near-insurmountable deficit in a division that […]

When Samantha Irvin formally announced the end of her run in the WWE Universe, fans the world over wondered what happened. Did her contract expire? Or was she let go like oh so many other performers before her? Well, as it turns out, Irvin was firmly behind her exit, to an extent most fans might […]

Over the course of about half an hour, the Motor City Machine Guns went from WWE’s newest tag team to SmackDown‘s number one tag team contenders, and ultimately the SmackDown Tag Team Champions via back-to-back wins over #DIY and the Guerillas of Destiny, representing The Bloodline. A shockingly fast ascension? You bet, but that doesn’t […]

After securing a massive win over the New York Giants in commanding fashion in Week 7, dominating the game via a strong showing by Saquon Barkley, the Philadelphia Eagles have a completely different challenge in Week 8, when they take the show on the road to face off against Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. […]

While the Los Angeles Rams’ 2024 season has been incredibly up and down in 2024, one of the consistently bright spots has been the play of Jared Verse, the team’s first first-round pick since all the way back in 2016 when they drafted Jared Goff first overall. Immediately stepping into the starting lineup alongside his […]

After watching what was billed as a Game 7, rivalry-defining match get turned into a Vince McMahon special, with guest referee LA Knight heavily interfering with both Andrade and Carmelo Hayes on the way to a DQ finish, WWE decided to make things official: LA Knight versus Andrade versus Melo for the United States Championship […]

Heading into the 2024 NFL season, it looked like this just might be the Cleveland Browns’ year. Coming into the season with one of the deepest rosters in the NFL, very good coaches on both sides of the ball, and a ton of potential, fans were eager to see if Deshaun Watson could finally put […]

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 […]
