Cody Rhodes' latest prediction would ruin wrestling if it came true
Cody Rhodes has clawed his way to the top of the wrestling mountain. He's been cut. He's been at the bottom of a card. And, he's been around the block a few times, with stops at Ring of Honor, TNA, AEW (which he helped found), New Japan Pro Wrestling and, of course, WWE. So, when you see Rhodes at the top of the industry and as the face of the biggest wrestling brand on the planet, you know it was a long time coming. WWE, however, doesn't always reward that type of wrestling grind. You only need to look at Logan Paul and the push he's receiving from the company to understand that to them, being a wrestling lifer is far from a top priority. Paul is a YouTuber. He made his WWE in-ring debut at WrestleMania 38. While his brother, Jake Paul, has played a role in the decline of boxing, Logan has decided to tarnish the wrestling profession instead. Yet, Rhodes believes that Logan Paul's ability to draw fans, impress with his athleticism and create an emotional response from the audience will likely mean that sooner or later, he'll be crowned a WWE world champion. “If he had just stepped in and was immediately as good as he was, I’d be furious," Rhodes said during a recent appearance on "The Bill Simmons Show" podcast. "One of the hardest working people I’ve ever seen. If you consider him a heel, that’s okay, he is as prickly as it gets...He took it as seriously as anybody ever. I have a feeling he is going to end up being World Champion or WWE Champion as some point. The internet will explode and we’ll be fine. He is very special.” There's no denying that Logan Paul is a talented in-ring performer. He's a natural athlete with great timing and a clear understanding of WWE's show production. However, he is not a wrestler. He hasn't been part of the indie scene or earned his stripes by doing guest spots at smaller, more localized promotions. Logan Paul is an influencer who can wrestle a little bit. He'd never be able to cut it in more wrestling-focused promotions such as AEW, New Japan or even one of WWE's recently acquired entities: Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide. Making him a champion would be spitting in the face of all the wrestlers who have fought tooth and nail to be part of the industry. To the talents who have given their lives to perfecting the art form. Logan Paul would be the final nail in the coffin of WWE as a wrestling company, rather than being a show about wrestlers. Logan Paul is a good talent, so putting the United States Championship on him made sense. It's a mid-card belt for a mid-card wrestler. But, asking him to be one of the top faces in the company is a step too far, and one many wrestling fans should hope never happens.
Tiger Woods Sends Strong Message to Retiring CBS Broadcaster on Sunday
At Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, Sunday’s final round of the 2025 Wyndham Championship closed out the PGA Tour’s regular season. It also marked the end of an era for one of golf’s most revered broadcasters. For the last time, Ian Baker-Finch manned the hole-announcing microphone for CBS Sports, capping 30 years in the booth following a playing career that peaked with his victory at the 1991 Open Championship. Before the day was over, Tiger Woods took to X to salute "Finchy." "Congrats Finchy for 30 incredible years behind the microphone. You brought insight into things that the viewing audience could understand and relate to. From all of us—thanks for the memories." The message joined tributes from Jack Nicklaus, Jason Day, Adam Scott and others, underscoring Baker-Finch’s standing among champions past and present. Ian Baker-Finch: From Major Champion to Broadcast Mainstay Baker-Finch turned pro in 1979, winning 17 professional tournaments worldwide. His lone major title came at Royal Birkdale in 1991, where he secured the Open Championship by five strokes. After retiring in the mid-1990s, Baker-Finch transitioned smoothly into broadcasting. He cut his teeth as an analyst on Australian television before joining ESPN and ABC in 1998. In 2007, he became CBS Sports’ dedicated hole announcer, a role he held through 2025, calling golf’s defining moments with a blend of technical acumen and warm delivery. Over 19 seasons with CBS, he covered five Masters and contributed to countless PGA Tour telecasts. Throughout Woods’ five green-jacket haul (1997, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2019), Baker-Finch was a trusted on-course voice that helped demystify championship golf for television audiences. As a player, Baker-Finch remains one of only seven Australian men to win a major championship and is one of a select few to dominate links golf on British soil. As a broadcaster, Baker-Finch’s voice guided generations of fans through golf’s signature moments, shaping how millions understand the game’s subtleties. When the G.O.A.T. of professional golf uses his platform to honor your contribution to the sport, it signals a broadcast career worth remembering.
25-time Grammy winner's sports agency blasts Jerry Jones for 'comical' comment
The Dallas Cowboys may have 99 problems, and the way owner Jerry Jones handles contract negotiations could be considered a big one. Jones spoke with the media Saturday regarding Micah Parsons' contract situation. The EDGE, who is entering the final year of his rookie deal, has requested a trade. The 82-year-old owner clarified the Cowboys have no plans to trade Parsons. While discussing negotiations, Jones took an unprovoked jab at former Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant and his agent, rapper Jay-Z. "When we have a problem within the team and a player, I don't ever find the agent. He's nowhere to be found," Jones said. "...Jay-Z and I negotiated [Bryant's contract in 2015], spent hours. He said, 'Anybody in my organization is on time.' He said, 'My office used to be on the street corner, and I've always been early. So, they will be on time.' And I said, 'Where do I sign? But I'm going to call you.' Finally, he quit taking my call." The 25-time Grammy winner's sports agency, Roc Nation, took issue with Jones' comment. In a statement released on X Sunday, it denied his claim, calling it "comical." This is yet another example of Jones prioritizing attention when he should be focused on extending two-time first-team All-Pro Parsons. The Cowboys often delay deals for their stars. The team signed Bryant to a five-year, $70M deal in July 2015, just before the deadline to extend players with a franchise tag. Last season, Dallas signed quarterback Dak Prescott to a four-year, $240M contract ahead of its season opener against the Cleveland Browns. The team's procrastination often leaves it paying even more for star players and wastes valuable time. Parsons is still with the team at training camp in Oxnard, Calif., but isn't participating. He likely wants a contract that's similar to that of Pittsburgh Steelers EDGE T.J. Watt (three years, $123M). The pass-rusher is the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league. Jones' methods are one reason the Cowboys haven't won a Super Bowl since the 1995 season. Jay-Z should mention that if he wants to write a single that includes a lyric about the owner.
Fever coach says Caitlin Clark’s injury is a ‘blessing in disguise’
Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White had some rather bold comments about Caitlin Clark’s lingering injury on Sunday. Clark missed her seventh consecutive game Sunday with a groin injury, but Indiana still won by beating the Seattle Storm 78-74. After losing their first two games without Clark, the Fever have now won five in a row. White thinks that is not a coincidence. She suggested that Clark’s absence has forced other players to step up and grow more confident. “I said it early when C was out the first time: while we don’t like it, sometimes it can be a blessing in disguise, because everybody else finds themselves, and no one is afraid to make the big play,” White said. It remains unclear when Clark will return to action, but the Fever have clearly learned how to succeed without her. In theory, that should make them even more formidable once she does return. The Fever certainly do not think they are better off without Clark. Her teammates remain adamantly behind her even as she sits out. The big question now is how good the team can be once she’s back.
