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 […]

When the Philadelphia Eagles signed Bryce Huff away from the New York Jets, they knew what kind of player they were committing over $51 million to. One of the most efficient pure pass rushers in the NFL, Huff didn’t really play against the run, didn’t really work as a base-package defensive end, and wasn’t used […]

With Cooper Kupp probably heading back to the field for the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7, fans are incredibly excited to see what the pride of Eastern Washington will bring to the table against the Las Vegas Raiders. Sure, the Raiders have a good passing defense and employ one of the best slot cornerbacks […]

When it comes to the WWE Universe in 2024, few performers hold as much pedigree as CM Punk and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson… unless you ask “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio. That’s right, despite having dozens of title reigns between them, having headlined the biggest shows imaginable, and selling millions upon millions of dollars worth of merch […]

It’s happening, San Francisco 49ers fans, it’s finally happening: after months of anticipation, first-round rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall will make his NFL debut in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. That’s right, after an encouraging summer overshadowed by Brandon Aiyuk drama and quite literally being shot in a robbery attempt gone wrong, Pearsall […]

As crazy as it may sound now, what with being one of the premier professional wrestlers in the world today, there was a time when Swerve Strickland just couldn’t seem to find his footing as a member of the WWE Universe. Initially starting things off as a singles guy, Strickland worked on his character, worked […]

After dropping two-straight wins in Weeks 4-5 to the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans, the Bills have a chance to go on their second winning streak of the 2024 NFL season in Week 7, when they face off against the lowly Titans of Tennessee. On paper, this feels sort of like a trap game, as […]

To paraphrase Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack, the 2024 Carolina Panthers need to sell, sell, sell at the 2024 NFL trade deadline. Sitting in the doghouse of the NFC with a 1-5 record and a point difference of -100, the Panthers aren’t a team bereft of talent per se, but most of those players fall into […]

After officially returning to the practice field in Week 6, the Philadelphia Eagles have made it official: Sydney Brown is back, officially a member of the 53-man roster once more. That’s right, a little over a week after opening his practice window, Brown is back on the field and ready to go in Week 7, […]

After making their triumphant debuts on SmackDown, even if WWE sort of spoiled it with a digital exclusive two hours before the show, the Motor City Machine Guns were on cloud nine. Sure, they had a new theme, saying goodbye to one of the premier songs in wrestling for some nonsense about raising a fist, […]

When Jordan Mailata went down with a “serious hamstring injury” in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns, fans immediately began to hypothesize about how the Philadelphia Eagles would replace their star left tackle. Would they give the first crack at the position to Fred Johnson, their usual backup at the position? Or would they instead […]

After turning in a dominant effort in Game 4 of the NLCS with Max Muncy kicked over to first base and Kiké Hernández taking his spot at third base, the Los Angeles Dodgers brought back Freddie Freeman for Game 5 in an attempt to close out the series and bring the World Series, not Game […]

As the NFL world grapples with the fact that one of the best teams in the AFC, the Buffalo Bills, just landed a new Pro Bowl wide receiver to go with their Pro Bowl QB, fans have taken a chance to reevaluate Alabama product Amari Cooper to see what kind of weapon he can be […]

While “The Learning Tree” Chris Jericho didn’t become the new Ring of Honor World Champion at AEW WrestleDream, he earned a pretty incredible consolation prize: being a featured player in the number one film in America, Terrifier 3. But how did it happen? How did Jericho go from full-time Learning Tree and part-time Fozzy rocker […]

After putting in work in Week 6 as part of a game more notable for Nick Sirianni outbursts than any play on the field at The Linc, the Philadelphia Eagles are taking their show on the road in Week 7 only this week, they don’t have to go too far, as they’ll be facing off […]

After weeks and weeks of hints, anticipation, and not-so-subtle video packages, WWE has officially debut the Motor City Machine Guns… digitally. That’s right, after GM Nick Aldis announced to the wrestling world that he was going all-in on bringing a new tag team to SmackDown, with the duo set to debut in a match against […]

With their massive media right deal officially on the books, the biggest piece of intrigue surrounding AEW isn’t what the Blackpool Combat Club has planned for the promotion, if fans will get to see Bryan Danielson again, or who will dethrone John Moxley but instead, whether fans will get to see Shane McMahon in Tony […]
