In Week 1, Jalen Hurts was a different player when a snap opened up with motion. Afforded a chance to get additional clues about what the defense had planned pre-snap, Hurts shined, getting the ball where it needed to with ease while largely evading the negative plays that pop up from time to time for […]

After watching Paul “Triple H” Levesque take the ring to welcome fans to Friday Night SmackDown, its first show back on network television after spending a few years on Fox, fans got down to their main event, which actually went on first: Cody Rhodes versus Solo Sikoa for the WWE Championship inside a steel cage. […]

As the Philadelphia Eagles prepare to face off against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2, one of the biggest questions surrounding the match has to be how Vic Fangio’s defense will fare against Kirk Cousins and Zac Robinson’s offense. Would the Eagles’ pass rush be able to dominate the Falcons, who have a pretty good […]

When an angry Rikishi ripped off the following quote on his Off The Top podcast after repeatedly watching his son, Jey Uso, get overlooked for opportunities on television, it turned heads around the IWC for, well, obvious reasons. “It’s a concern. At the end of the day, these are our bodies, and this is my […]

Seemingly any time WWE announces a new set of releases, be it developmental guys like Von Wagner or top-end talent like Matt Riddle and Bobby Lashley, fans will declare some version of the following statement: AEW bound. Now granted, there is some truth to this statement, as Tony Khan has been willing to sign wrestlers […]

With a massive overtime win over Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1, the Detroit Lions are rolling into Week 2 with plenty of momentum, even more to build upon, and seemingly the entirety of D-Town rooting for them to win, with that energy on full display on Saturday Night Football. And […]

In Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles flew to Brazil for Friday Night Football, went to bat against one of the best young teams in the NFC, and ultimately secured a pretty massive win on their way back to the City of Brotherly Love. Was it perfect? No, the team had […]

When Darby Allin formally agreed to put his AEW World Title shot on the line at Arthur Ashe against Jon Moxley in coordinator with the Blackpool Combat Club leader’s desire to change the promotion into… something, it left fans with tickets for the show or simply a vested interest in the proceedings with one simple […]

When Drew McIntyre debuted in WWE all the way back in 2007, he looked very different than the man fans have come to know and love in 2024. For one thing, he didn’t have a beard, was in his early 20s, and didn’t yet have the absolutely jacked physique that has become synonymous with the […]

With the 2024-25 season rapidly approaching, NBA fans, writers, and podcasters alike have been looking for interesting ways to keep their fans engaged, from all-time lists, to divisional breakdowns, and… Kyle Lowry dunk stats. Wait, what was that last part? Who is thinking about Lowry dunking in an NBA Game? Has Lowry ever even dunked […]

As the Las Vegas Raiders prepare for their Week 2 throwdown against the Baltimore Ravens, a matchup that may just feel like deja vu considering the Harbaugh of it all connecting the two teams, Davante Adams and company have been really digging into their opponent’s tape in order to better understand what to expect. Adam’s […]

At this point, Dave Bautista is about as well known for his on-screen roles as his in-ring efforts, with “The Animal” going from WWE Champion to international box office superstar for roles in films like Blader Runner 2049, The Killing Game, and as a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, with which he has […]

After spending the summer more concerned with dollars and cents than Xs and Os, Brandon Aiyuk had an incredibly uneventful return to the field for the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1, catching just two of the four passes sent his way by Brock Purdy for four yards and no touchdowns. Now granted, some of […]

Though Ricochet has technically already debuted in AEW, wrestling in the Casino Gauntlet match at All In and working a singles television debut against Kyle Fletcher on Dynamite, fans still aren’t 100 percent sure where the “First in Flight” stands within Tony Khan’s company. Is Ricochet a babyface, as he is a fan favorite for […]

After coming off of an overtime loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football, the Los Angeles Rams are in a weird spot. On the one hand, they played well above expectations in Week 1, consistently moving the ball despite not one, not two, but three players suffering IR-worthy injuries, and if they won […]

While Bryan Danielson’s career is rapidly coming to a close, with the “American Dragon” a single title loss away from calling his full-time professional wrestling run a career, there was a time when fans truly weren’t sure where he would end up, in Tony Khan land or back with WWE, where he had plenty of […]

When the Philadelphia Eagles took the field in Brazil last Friday for the season opener, no one had more eyes on them than Cam Jurgens, the third-year lineman out of Nebraska who was earning his first start at center after the offseason retirement of Jason Kelce. Now granted, saying goodbye to Kelce was never going […]

When John Cena formally announced at Money in the Bank that he was retiring from professional in 2025 to follow in the footsteps of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Dave Bautista in Hollywood, it got fans in their feelings. Sure, Cena was going to make plenty of appearances in WWE before he officially hangs up […]

After watching Kamala Harris and Donald Trump duke it out in the first official Presidential debate since Joe Biden dropped out of the race, Taylor Swift, arguably the most popular recording artist in the world today, decided to wade into the political waters to officially announce her endorsement on Instagram, declaring that she is on […]

After watching both of their TCU linemen, Steve Avila and Joseph Noteboom, go down with injuries in Week 1 in a brutal war of attrition against the Detroit Lions, the Los Angeles Rams have added some much-needed talent in the trenches in the form of 2024 sixth-round pick Dylan McMahon, who Les Snead signed off […]

When CM Punk’s initial run in the WWE Universe came to an end, it felt like the system had won. Widely celebrated for being the “Voice of the Voiceless,” a hero to the hardcore fans who missed the WWE they grew up on, Punk fought the system at every turn, went to bat against the […]

When it comes to professional wrestling, few Hall of Famers are as willing to get into the digital trenches to speak their minds and talk some you-know-what about one thing or another as Kevin Nash, the former “Big Daddy Cool Diesel” who might just have the most legendary feud of his career against LA Knight […]

With Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season officially in the books, it’s hard not to identify Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley as one of the league’s big winners. Making his debut in Midnight Green in quite possibly the weirdest circumstances imaginable, in Brazil on a Friday, Barkley absolutely dominated on the grounds and […]

After effectively punting on the 2023 NFL season due to a brutal series of injuries that left them starting Joshua Dobbs in Week 1, fans of the Arizona Cardinals were eager to see how Jonathan Gannon’s vision would look fully formed. Would Kyler Murray return to vintage form, playing like the unflappable franchise quarterback the […]

With WWE off of Peacock for the next few weeks as fans experience the rare month without a PLE, Drew McIntyre took to the ring on RAW to celebrate his recent beatdown of the “Best in the World,” CM Punk, who hasn’t been seen on television since. On paper, this was pretty textbook stuff for […]

When Bret Hart was announced for a special appearance on RAW in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, fans just had to know he would interact with some member of the WWE Universe, but who would it be? Would he hype up a babyface like Sami Zayn? Get into it with a heel like Gunther? Or simply address […]

As the news surrounding Tyreek Hill’s arrest before the Miami Dolphins’ win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, fans have openly wondered what the team would have to say on the situation and how they would support their players in such a trying time. On Monday night, fans found their answer, as the team released […]

When news broke at the 11th hour that Russell Wilson was doubtful to start for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1, going from questionable to doubtful to out rapidly with a calf injury, it took the NFL world by storm. Fantasy football managers rapidly scrambled to find a new starting option – assuming they somehow […]

When Cody Rhodes took the ring against Solo Sikoa in the main event of SummerSlam, it felt like a big deal. Sure, the build-up to their fateful showdown wasn’t what you would call expansive, as the “Street Champ” was a mere footnote in his larger feud with Roman Reigns, The Rock, and The Bloodline as […]

As crazy as it may sound, Jimmy Uso has officially been off of WWE television and, in turn, out of The Bloodline, for almost five months, being jumped out of the faction by Tama Tonga in a move designed to fully consolidate power around the new “Tribal Chief” Solo Sikoa. In his time away, Uso […]

In the NFL, there are no moral victories, right Los Angeles Rams fans? Despite all of their efforts, the Rams have officially started the 2024 season 0-1, are tied for the worst record in the NFC West with the Cardinals, and will need to rebound hard versus Arizona next week to avoid losing critical positioning […]

Normally, when an AEW Pay-Per-View comes to an end, the real show begins, as the promotion kicks into media scrum time, which has grown from a quick opportunity to ask talent questions to a certified Tony Khan tour de force that can run half as long as the actual show. Typically, the media personalities who […]

When Bryan Danielson took the ring at All Out, fans around the professional wrestling world just had to know that he wasn’t going to be able to go it alone against Jack Perry in the main event, as where one member of The Elite goes, the rest often follow. Fortunately, during the actual meat and […]

When it comes to The Bloodline, at least during Roman Reigns’ time as the “Tribal Chief,” WWE fans routinely compared their storyline to the most polarizing term in professional wrestling: cinema. Unlike in wrestling past, where workers would loudly declare their intentions in the ring with bravado and swagger, The Bloodline would talk quietly in […]

After surging to become one the top teams in the NFL last season despite having *checks notes* Joe Flacco under center, the Cleveland Browns enter the 2024 season with a new lease on life, a few new weapons on both sides of the field, and, football gods willing, a healthy starting quarterback, with DeShaun Watson […]

In less than 24 hours, the Los Angeles Rams will officially kick off the 2024 NFL season on Sunday Night Football, where they will go one-on-one against Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions in a rematch of last year’s Wildcard Round matchup. Soon, fans will see how the Rams GM Les Snead’s new offensive additions […]

After watching the Pete Carroll era end with a whimper instead of a bang, missing the playoffs as things wound down in a disappointing fashion, the Seattle Seahawks find themselves in uncharted waters with a head coach, new coordinators, and, most crucially of all, new hope for fans in the Pacific North West that their […]

When it comes to having success under both of WWE’s 21st-century bookers, few performers hold a candle to Drew McIntyre. Originally brought into WWE as Vince McMahon’s “Chosen One,” McIntyre won both of his WWE World Championships under the former Chairman of the Board and was given the tough ask of being the face of […]

After burning out in spectacular fashion in 2023, firing Brandon Staley for his inability to grow in the middle of the season, and landing the biggest fish in coaching free agency in Jim Harbaugh, the Los Angeles Chargers find themselves one of the most interesting teams in the NFL, with potential outcomes ranging from playoff […]
