I wish I could say that night 2 of Wrestlemania did not disappoint, but I can't. Night 2 of the "Showcase of the Immortals" left a lot to be desired. Underwhelming matches, Shane McMahons knee leaving his body, and a disappointing end to the main event left a lot of fans unfulfilled. Roman Reigns is closing in on 1000 days as champ as Cody Rhodes story doesn't finish with a Holly...

Night 1 of Wrestlemania 39 was a celebration of all things that make wrestling awesome. Paying off long running storylines, good guys winning, extravagant entrances, and tremendous in ring action. We crowned new champions in Rhea Ripley, Sami Zayn, and Kevin Owens and had an appearance by the legendary John Cena who lost to ascending superstar Austin Theory. The Showcase of the Immortals got off t...

There's only so long you can exist on potential. Trey Lance has a high ceiling but so far 49er fans have been less than impressed with what he's shown. Brock Purdy is the leader in the clubhouse to be QB1 of the 49ers but all hope is not lost for the former 1st round pick. The 49ers brass of John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan indirectly made it known to Trey that its now or never.

This is the day that the lord has made let us all rejoice and be glad in it! Both Jimmy Garoppolo and Mike McGlinchey are off the 49ers and I couldn't be any happier. It was long past time to move on from both men and the news of the day has brought great joy to your favorite podcaster. Vaya Con Dios my friend, Vaya Con Dios. 

Lamar Jackson, superstar NFL QB for the Baltimore Ravens, finds himself in a contract conundrum. The contract he's asking for is not the contract he's being offered. The 2 sides are at an impasse and now the Ravens have placed a non-exclusive franchise tag on the star QB. Will Lamar remain in Baltimore? Or will another team make a deal for him? 

Talented but troubled NBA star Ja Morant finds himself in hot water after a viral video surfaced of him brandishing a firearm in a Denver strip club. The latest in a string of gun related events for the face of the Memphis Grizzlies has many fans and media concerned about his behavior. 

Super Bowl 57 is already in the conversation for greatest Super Bowl of all time. A competitive and compelling contest between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs came down to the wire in a 38-35 victory for KC. Superb QB play from both Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes but in the end, it was 15 in red who emerged as a 2-time Super Bowl champion and has already cemented himself as first b...

History was made in the NBA last night as Lebron James scored 38 points to eclipse the NBA all time scoring record that was held by Kareem Abdul Jabbar for 39 years. An amazing accomplishment and another accomplishment in a stellar 21 year career that shows no signs of slowing down. 

Another year, another playoff disappointment for the 49ers. This time it was a 31-7 soul crushing defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles. 49ers lost 2 QBs in the game including Brock Purdy who went down early with an elbow injury. A bitter end for a team with Super Bowl aspirations. 

And then there were 4! NFL Divisional weekend is over and done with and its Kansas City, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and San Francisco who advance to conference title game Sunday. 

We are down to the NFL version of the Elite 8! NFL Divisional round weekend is upon us. Chiefs ,Jaguars, Bills, Bengals, Eagles, Giants, 49ers, and Cowboys will all compete for NFL supremacy and try to move one step closer to the most important event in Western civilization, the Super Bowl. 

NFL Super Wild Card weekend did not disappoint. Brock Purdy was electric for the 49ers. Chargers snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and blew a 27-0 lead to the Jaguars. Bills made it a little too xlose for comfort before eventually holding on to win vs Miami. Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley led the Giants to a big road win against the fraudulent Minnesota Vikings. Cincinnati survived a slugf...

The race to Glendale, AZ and Super Bowl 57 begins this weekend with 6 playoff games on NFL Super Wild Card Weekend! I make my predictions about each game and how I see the games shaping up in this edition of The Dion Gordon Podcast. 

Week 18 in the books and the 2022 NFL regular season has come to a close. As always there are a plethora of storylines to talk in the NFL. Playoff matchups have been set, coaches have been fired, Lamar Jacksons contract situation, and the continued recovery of Bills safety Damar Hamlin, are all discussed on this episode of the Dion Gordon Podcast.

A shocking and terrifying scene on Monday Night Football as Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed to the ground unconscious after making a tackle on Bengals WR Tee Higgins. Hamlin would need on field CPR to resuscitate him and was transported to a nearby hospital where he was listed in critical condition. He has since regained neurological function and has had the breathing tube removed toda...

In a matchup of my favorite team vs my favorite player it was my team that prevailed. The San Francisco 49ers eviscerated Tom Brady and the Buccaneers 35-7 and it wasnt even that close. Brock Purdy so far has been a revelation at QB for the Niners. His exceptional play alongside an elite defense has kept the 49ers in the Super Bowl conversation. 

7 time NBA All-Star found out the hard way that you're not allowed to be unapologetically black in this country. The polarizing basketball star found himself in hot water over a tweet about a film called "Hebrews to Negros: Wake up Black America". Widespread condemnation came from the media and even his own peers and Irving is now facing a 5 game suspension. #kyrie #basketball #NBA #kyrieirving

Anytime the 49ers need to get right all they have to do is play the LA Rams. Coming off that emasculating loss at home vs Kansas City the 49ers bounced back with a resounding 31-14 win vs their hated division rival. For the 4th straight regular season San Francisco sweeps the season series with LA. Jimmy Garoppolo was excellent and efficient with a 21-25,235, and 2 TD performance. The newly acquir...

The rematch of Super Bowl 54 was proof that the 2 participants of that game in 2020 are worlds apart in 2022. Kansas City absolutely destroyed San Francisco with explosive plays and offensive imagination. 49er defense failed their first true test of the season in an embarrassing display of defensive futility. 49er offense couldn't pick up the slack despite a plethora of weapons including their new...

A blockbuster trade on Thursday saw the Carolina Panthers deal star RB Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers in a move that shook the NFL world to its core! The prolific RB should provide a boost to a stagnant offense that already has a plethora of playmakers.  With the addition McCaffrey to an already star- studded offense, the expectations for the 49ers are clear, win the Super bow...

Injuries and offensive futility spelled doom for the 49ers vs the Atlanta Falcons last Sunday. Costly turnovers and lack of execution didn't help the cause and the coach/QB combination of Kyle Shanahan and Jimmy Garoppolo are stuck in neutral offensively. 

Backs against the wall, season on the brink of disaster, panic among the faithful, coming off an embarrassing loss, and the 49ers once again annihilate the LA Rams on Monday Night to save their season. Where have we seen this movie before? Similar to 2021 the Niners show their mettle with everyone doubting them. A dominant defense and an efficient albeit still underwhelming offense led the way in...

5280 miles above sea level and Jimmy Garoppolo reaches new heights of ineptitude. A performance that can only be described as No Limit sneaker ugly wasted an outstanding performance by the defense en route to a 11-10 loss in the Mile High city. 49ers fall to 1-2 and are already at a crossroads for a team that thought they were Super Bowl ready.
