The
Philadelphia Eagles
didn't just survive a rule change, they celebrated like they won another Super Bowl. After the NFL's attempt to ban the Eagles' signature
Tush Push
fell short, Philly turned pettiness into an art form with meme-filled vengeance.
Holding firm the ten that saved the '
Brotherly Shove
'
The controversial quarterback sneak, also known as the 'Brotherly Shove' has become a nightmare for defenses and a golden ticket for the Philadelphia Eagles in short-yardage situations. But at the NFL owners' meeting, a proposal to ban it gained traction. In the end, 22 teams voted in favor, but the measure needed 24 votes to pass. 10 teams (roughly 10% of the league) stood firmly against the ban and that was just enough to keep it alive.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, those 10 anti-ban teams included the Eagles, Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, New York Jets, and Tennessee Titans. Basically, the play's biggest fans and some smart teams who know not to fix what isn't broken.
Philly didn't waste a second. Their social media lit up with savage posts like 'Marked Safe From The Tush Push Ban Today' and the viral favorite, 'Ok ima fight The Tush Push… Damn Tush Push got hands.'

stone-faced through a series of random news clips, until he hears the Tush Push survived. Then, he breaks into a smile. Cold. Calculated. Iconic.
And to top it off, the Eagles dropped a 26-minute Tush Push highlight reel on their official YouTube channel a bold, cinematic victory lap. It wasn't just a random mashup of short-yardage sneaks, it was a carefully curated showcase of dominance.
Each clip showed the play being executed to perfection against top-tier defenses from pushing through the Chiefs to steamrolling Washington, emphasizing just how unstoppable it's become.

Travis Kelce's mom Donna Kelce's special bobblehead night turns into a Taylor Swift-themed celebration at Akron RubberDucks game

Donna Kelce, mother of NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, was honored by the Akron RubberDucks with a bobblehead night (Getty Images) Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce isn't the only Kelce family member getting the spotlight these days. His mother, Donna Kelce, enjoyed a heartfelt and unforgettable evening on Saturday as the Akron RubberDucks—an MiLB team based in her Ohio hometown—honored her with her very own bobblehead night at Canal Park. Donna Kelce's big night celebrates hometown pride and maternal fame The event, centered around Donna's growing popularity as the NFL's most beloved football mom, included the distribution of exclusive bobbleheads designed in her likeness. Fans lined up to get their hands on the collectible, which quickly made waves across social media. One enthusiastic attendee even paired the bobblehead with her favorite pregame beverage for a picture-perfect moment. Donna, 72, has become somewhat of a celebrity herself thanks to her two sons, Travis and Jason Kelce, both of whom have carved out iconic NFL careers. But her recent public visibility has been boosted by her warm relationship with Travis' girlfriend, global pop icon Taylor Swift . Taylor Swift references light up the ballpark In a playful nod to Swift's relationship with Travis, the RubberDucks incorporated multiple Taylor Swift-themed elements throughout the evening. Her music played during game breaks, and post-game fireworks were reportedly choreographed with a Swift-style flair. Perhaps the most viral moment came when the stadium's Jumbotron featured a photo of Donna Kelce and Swift together under the caption: 'Mom Era'—a cheeky spin on Swift's popular "Eras Tour. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo " This carefully crafted tribute didn't just entertain—it also subtly underscored the special bond between Donna and Swift, which has developed steadily over the past two years.

Donna Kelce seems all in As the relationship between Swift and Travis Kelce continues to make headlines, Donna has been consistently supportive. 'She's had a positive influence on him,' Donna has said, speaking warmly of her potential daughter-in-law. On Mother's Day, Swift and Travis reportedly spent the day with Donna in Philadelphia, further fueling speculation about a deeper commitment.

IPL Needs 12-16 Week Season To Compete With NFL, NBA: Punjab Kings Co-Owner

Last Updated: Punjab Kings co-owner Mohit Burman feels a 12–16-week IPL season will boost the tournament's brand value, rivaling the NFL and NBA. The Indian Premier League (IPL) requires a 12–16-week operating window to rival the brand value of leading global sports leagues like the NFL, NBA, and Premier League, according to Punjab Kings co-owner Mohit Burman. With a per-match value of USD 16.8 million, the IPL ranks second only to the NFL (USD 36.8 million). However, it still trails its global competitors in overall brand value. According to investment bank Houlihan Lokey, the IPL is valued at approximately USD 16 billion. By comparison, a single NFL franchise, the Dallas Cowboys, is worth USD 9 billion, followed by the New York Yankees at USD 7.1 billion. The NBA's New York Knicks are valued at USD 7 billion, while leading football clubs Real Madrid and Manchester United each hold a valuation of USD 6 billion. The longer operating windows of the Premier League (August to May), NBA (seven months), and NFL (4.5 months) contribute to their higher valuations compared to the current eight-week IPL season. In an interview with PTI, Burman discussed the future of the IPL and the remarkable turnaround of Punjab Kings, who reached the final after 11 years. 'We're already second in the world when it comes to per-match value, just behind the NFL. But overall brand value? That's a different game. I think we need a 12-16-week window to get there," said Burman. 'That gives us space to tell better stories, build rivalries, and create more value for everyone – fans, sponsors, broadcasters. But it's not just about length. It's about what we do in that time – the kind of content we push out, how we engage fans year-round, how we build the league beyond the season. IPL has the scale. Now it's about consistency and depth." 'The IPL is already the biggest cricket product in the world, but staying there means not taking anything for granted. Player availability is crucial. We need a clean window where the best in the world can play without restrictions," said the 56-year-old businessman. 'The fan experience must keep evolving. It's not just about cricket anymore — its sport, entertainment, culture all rolled into one. We don't need to take the IPL abroad — what we do need is to build global relevance. Content, players, and stories that connect with fans across the world." Burman also supports the strategic move of IPL owners investing in overseas leagues. Alongside Punjab Kings, he and other co-owners have invested in the Saint Lucia franchise of the Caribbean Premier League. Other IPL teams have expanded their ownership in multiple leagues, including SA20, ILT20, MLC, CPL, and The Hundred. 'It's a smart and strategic move. A lot of teams are now building a common core — with shared vision, systems, and values — across multiple leagues. That's what makes it sustainable and scalable," he said when asked about the trend of IPL teams expanding overseas . 'For us, the goal is clear: build the Kings ecosystem across geographies and formats. Whether it's IPL or CPL, we want to run our teams with the same purpose — high performance, strong culture, and deeper fan connection. We're not just creating teams — we're building a brand that travels. And this is just the beginning," he said. Financially, the IPL and its franchises have seen significant growth since the league's inception in 2008. 'They go hand in hand. Strong on-field performances drive commercial growth — that's the reality. Brands want to be part of winning stories. We've seen that this year — we're up 25% year-on-year commercially. 'More fan engagement, stronger sponsor interest, and better value across the board. This season proves that when your on-field and off-field stories align — that's where the real magic happens," he said. The turning point for Punjab Kings came with the appointment of Ricky Ponting, which transformed the team's energy and mindset. 'The real turning point came when we took a step back to think the direction of the franchise. Getting Ricky Ponting on board was the first step in our revamp. His arrival transformed the energy — and the mindset," said Burman. 'Then came the auction, where we made strategic choice on balance, clarity, and intent. Backing Shreyas as captain was another big moment — he brought composure, vision, and a sense of Unity. 'They didn't just see Punjab Kings as a franchise. They saw it as a project with potential. There's no hierarchy here — just one team, moving toward one goal. That's a powerful thing. 'Off the field, we rewired everything — from marketing and storytelling to fan engagement. Commercially, we've seen strong growth. But what I'm most proud of is the culture — one rooted in belief, joy, and accountability. That's been the true foundation of the success," he added.
