Dr. Anthony Fauci nearly appeared on The Bump during the pandemic, according to Matt Camp. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic turned the wrestling world upside down. Fans were unable to attend shows, so WWE held tapings in empty arenas before they pivoted to the ThunderDome. Throughout the pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci was often in the news, as he served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and he was also the chief medical advisor to the president from 2021 to 2022 The Young Bucks Say They Are Inserting The Wild Card Into Men's Owen Hart...

Washington Mystics player Natasha Cloud ripped the U.S. on Friday amid multiple rulings by the Supreme Court. Cloud, who shared reports of both rulings on her Instagram, hopped on Twitter and expressed her displeasure with the country.

"Black/brown communities& LGBTQ+ man we are too powerful to still be attacking issues separate." Cloud also shared a story from Rolling Stone on the Supreme Court’s...

Arian Foster 'revealed' how the NFL was 'scripted' Ex-NFL star Arian Foster’s sarcastic explanation about how the league was "rigged" brought along some hilarious responses from his former colleagues on Wednesday. The former star running back for the Houston Texans sarcastically talked about the NFL being rigged in the latest episode of the Barstool Sports podcast "Macrodosing." New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara, Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey and New England Patriots pass-rusher Matt Judon were among the NFL players to chime in.

I went ballistic when I first saw this. The “NFL is rigged” conversation has been happening for years now, but with how things went down in the Jan. 29 AFC Championship Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals (specifically with the officiating), the talks have ratcheted up. And now, former Houston Texans and Miami Dolphins running back Arian Foster is getting involved, throwing some fuel into the fire with one statement: “The league is scripted.” Speaking on his “Macrodosing” podcast with PFT Commenter, Foster elaborated on an off-air comment alleging that NFL players receive a script. “We were...

The New York Giants and the Minnesota Vikings had a back-and-forth game on Sunday, but a horrible roughing the passer penalty almost played a huge role in deciding the game. The play occurred late in the fourth quarter with the Vikings trailing 31-24 and driving. New York defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence applied pressure on Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins, forcing an errant pass and sending Cousins to to the ground. It looked like any normal hit on a quarterback, but officials flagged Lawrence for a roughing the passer call, which seemed completely ridiculous in real time and worse when looking at...

The Washington Commanders have fined defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio $100,000 following his comments earlier in the week that referred to the events of Jan. 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol as a "dustup" and compared that day to "riots, looting, burning" during protests in the summer of 2020. In a statement, Washington coach Ron Rivera said he met with Del Rio on Friday morning to express his disappointment in the coordinator's comments. "His comments do not reflect the organization's views and are extremely hurtful to our great community here in the DMV," Rivera said. "As we saw last night...

If you’re a casual football fan, there’s a chance you won’t be familiar with the 1983-84 season in Romania’s Divizia C, Serie VIII. It was so tight that in a 16-team league, with two points for a win, only two points separated second and 15th. Some teams avoided relegation on goal difference – and finished in the top half of the division. On the final day, the as-it-stands table probably exploded after 10 minutes. At least there was only one as-it-stands table. We’ll need at least two to make some kind of sense of this week’s matches at Euro 2016:...
