Acknowledge him! No, not Roman Reigns — this guy

He’s professional wrestling’s rookie of the year. Logan Paul has shown an ability well beyond having his debut match only five months ago. He clearly has the work ethic to be a good wrestler, and Paul has the fan base on his own to make any WWE interaction newsworthy. To think the soon-to-be-officia...

Text messages show Mississippi governor diverted welfare funds at Brett Favre’s request [Update]

Brett Favre getting in hot water over inappropriate texts is nothing new. However, his latest scandal reaches the highest office of the Mississippi executive branch of government....

It’s All Happening — WWE and AEW now: CM Punk is just another word for Hulk Hogan

For the first time this past weekend, and intentionally no matter what they may say, WWE and AEW ran PPVs/PLEs on the same weekend, perhaps being in direct competition with each other for the first time since NXT was backed off Wednesday nights. Feels like as good of a time as any to see where the c...

It’s All Happening – WWE and AEW Now: HHH’s WWE is better but it’s still inflexible

For the first time this past weekend, and intentionally no matter what they may say, WWE and AEW ran PPVs/PLEs on the same weekend, perhaps being in direct competition with each other for the first time since NXT was backed off Wednesday nights. Feels like as good of a time as any to see where the c...

Behold! Your 2022 NFL all-washed team

Even the greatest NFL players eventually peak and begin that tumble back down the mountain. For some, the peak is long and luxurious; for others, that peak is short, and the fall comes after a couple years of prosperity. This list features players nearing the end of the road or those having held on ...

Sometimes predictable is the way to go

It finally happened and is one prime example of why I believe predictability isn’t always a negative in professional wrestling. There hasn’t been a bigger disappointment in WWE over the last year than Dominik Mysterio, the son of squared-circle visionary Rey Mysterio. In my “Clash at the Castle” pre...

NFL players that retired in their prime

Over the years, we’ve seen some popular NFL stars call it quits in a matter that felt abrupt and, for some, far too early. Watching women’s tennis superstar Serena Williams on her “farewell tour” reminded me of former football players who, had we known they were near the end, may have received some ...

Is Tyreek Hill the high tide that can lift Tua’s boat?

Mike McDaniel’s pod of Dolphins has already made splashes. In its preseason finale, Miami dropped 48 on the Philadelphia Eagles and Tua Tagovailoa completed 6-of-7 passes for 121 yards and led three scoring drives....

The sports figures we've lost in 2022

Here’s a look at the athletes and sports figures we’ve lost in 2022....

CM Punk played himself

The honeymoon period with CM Punk in All Elite Wrestling has been over for a long time. It easily ceased before this week’s drama unfolded. He’s had to sink or swim based on what his current ability is for several months. If Punk was just a nostalgia act, he’d leave AEW head-honcho Tony Khan with no...

It’s time for the Chargers to shine in Hollywood

The Los Angeles Chargers are officially in win-now mode after a big offseason that’s seemingly flown under the radar. LA made moves to bulk up their defense and spent big bucks to ensure they’ve at least got a shot at competing in the AFC over the next couple of years. But this two-to-three-year win...

Bryan Danielson knows we’re uncomfortable

Bryan Danielson is a liar. Don’t take my word for it....

Looking at possible numbers for the NFL to retire league-wide

The NFL is now the only big-four pro sports league in North America to not have a number retired throughout the league. The NBA retired Bill Russell’s No. 6 earlier this month after his death. Major League Baseball gave that honor to Jackie Robinson’s No. 42, while the NHL has barred anyone from don...

The 49ers’ offense is going to look a lot more explosive this season

People around the San Francisco 49ers have to be thrilled with what they saw from Trey Lance in the preseason opener....

Triple H and the WWE aren’t doing away with AEW — at least not right now

It may be the most meaningless short-term consequence of Vince McMahon’s resignation as WWE’s chairman and CEO after 40 years as professional wrestling’s most powerful dignitary — the art form’s creative direction. McMahon almost exclusively called the shots from the top since the first full year of...

What are the odds an offensive lineman wins Rookie of the Year?

An offensive lineman has never won the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Is that a tragedy? Or does it make sense? Offensive linemen rarely ever score touchdowns, pick up yards, or do the Griddy (although a few have tried). ...

With Vince gone, a new era in WWE begins

Please don’t let WWE get its greedy paws on The Rock’s new VICE TV series ‘Tales from the Territories’

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has taken Hollywood by storm since he left the WWE, producing hit after hit on the big screen. Even with Johnson’s mainstream success, he’s never forgotten his pro wrestling roots. Now The Rock is teaming up with VICE TV on a series called “Tales From The Territories.”...

The Seahawks’ unofficial depth chart is officially certifiable

“What if — and this is purely hypothetical — we float out an unofficial depth just to see how they react?” — (Probably) Pete Carroll buzzing around a 3 a.m. coaches meeting, a few Adderall and five sugar-free Red Bulls deep, trying to figure out how to ease Seattle fans into a reality where Geno Smi...

Here’s Aaron Rodgers’ path to a third straight MVP award

Aaron Rodgers can win his third straight NFL MVP this coming season....
