Is this the end? Seth Rollins speaks out on WWE career and what's next
Image via WWE WWE superstar Seth Rollins has ignited speculation about his future in professional wrestling after making candid remarks about the state of his body, career longevity, and the looming finish line. In an interview on the Up & Adams Show, Rollins reflected on his 21-year journey in the ring - a journey that may be closer to its final chapter than fans expected. 'I just turned 39… been wrestling for 21 years, almost 22, non-stop. Only small breaks for rehab injuries,' Rollins told host Kay Adams. 'Before that, I was throwing myself in the backyard with my friends. So you're looking at 25 years of wrestling.'

'I certainly feel closer to the end than the beginning. I'm not doing 25 more years of this,' he said. 'I don't know what that looks like on the backend, but I feel good right now.' Peak performance amid retirement whispers Currently aligned with Paul Heyman and leading a dominant new faction that includes Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker, Rollins has arguably been in one of his most intriguing runs in WWE . Despite his comments on retirement, he hasn't slowed down inside the ring or on-screen.

Terry Bollea also not the best guy.' While the reason for this grudge remains unclear, Rollins' brutally honest remarks have added fuel to online speculation and fan debates.

Former Giants QB Sounds Off on Jaxson Dart Narrative
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Only time will tell if the New York Giants selected their true franchise quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft with Jaxson Dart. Heading into the 2025 NFL season, it seems the Giants might keep the young rookie on ice, as two veterans ahead of him on the depth chart have more than enough experience to warrant playing over him right away. Russell Wilson joined the Giants after spending a season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Then there's Jameis Winston, who just wrapped up a 12-game stretch with the Cleveland Browns last year. The presence of the two quarterbacks can be positive for Dart, if the Giants view Wilson and Winston as two valuable veteran leaders for their 22-year-old passer. However, a quarterback competition won't allow for Dart to get immediate reps as a rookie. In fact, he could be in line for a redshirt year, despite being the 25th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Former Giants quarterback Phil Simms believes that would be a mistake. Sit out the whole season? "That is the most overused stupid thing that I see people say on TV," Simms said on the 'Up & Adams Show' this week. "The ideal situation to me .. they get off to a decent start, we see the whole team is better than it was last year. The defensive line. I think the last two drafts have been very good. All that. We're respectable. But then there comes a point six, seven, eight weeks into the season unless you see that there's an opportunity to really be great we've got to find a spot to put Jaxson Dart in there, give him some experience, let him have some success and some failures because that's how you grow in the NFL as a quarterback." There's only so much a young quarterback can do with his eyes and ears from an NFL sideline. Mental reps and snaps are two totally different worlds. Take it from a two-time champion and multi-time pro bowler. Since the Giants aren't viewed as a potential Super Bowl contender in 2025, they aren't likely to be one veteran quarterback away from breaking into that contention. As a team, they'll see growing pains. Why not allow for Dart to experience some of his own as the season plays out?

Jaxson Dart #6 of the New York Giants during rookie minicamp at NY Giants Quest Diagnostics Training Center on May 09, 2025 in East Rutherford, New last time the Giants drafted high on a quarterback was when they took Daniel Jones out of Duke. There was no redshirt for Jones at the time, who went under center for 13 games in 2019. It was a tough stretch, as the Giants went 3-9. However, they felt good about Jones, who threw for over 3,000 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. Long-term, it didn't work out, which places the Giants in a situation to hope that Dart is the answer. Opinions about what the Giants should do with the rookie will be all over the place. In Simms' eyes, it's a no-brainer. Let the kid play next season.

Brandin Podziemski shades Knicks over not making NBA Finals: ‘Would've been a sweep'
Was the Knicks' elimination in the Eastern Conference finals just delaying the inevitable? New York certainly had the star power coming out of the East as opposed to the Pacers, but Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski doesn't think the Knicks could have held up against the Thunder. 'I'm glad it was the Pacers, not the Knicks … if it was the Knicks, it would have been a sweep,' Podziemski told Kay Adams on the 'Up and Adams' on Tuesday. 'I don't think the Knicks had enough to compete with OKC both offensively and defensively. Advertisement 3 Brandin Podziemski spoke on 'Up and Adams' on Tuesday. Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams The Knicks, who knocked off the heavily favored Celtics in the second round, succumbed to the Pacers in six games in the Eastern Conference finals, New York's first time making it that far since 2000. While the Warriors didn't see the Thunder in the playoffs after they were bounced in the second round by the Timberwolves, Podziemski might know the formula to beating Oklahoma City, as the Warriors won two of the three matchups in the regular season. 'I think the Pacers, on any given night, they play with 10 guys and there's games where all 10 of them score in double figures,' Podziemski added. 'It can come from anywhere with Indiana, and I think that's the thing that's gonna be challenging for OKC.' Advertisement Aside from a seven-game series against the Nuggets, the Thunder have rolled through their competition this postseason. Even in Game 7 against Denver, Oklahoma City sent Nikola Jokic & Co. packing in resounding fashion with a 32-point win. The Thunder are led by MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and co-stars Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren. Advertisement 3 The Thunder celebrate winning the Western Conference and reaching the NBA Finals. NBAE via Getty Images But Podziemski credits Oklahoma City's defense as the reason for why New York would have struggled in a finals matchup. With the Knicks' offense so heavily reliant on Jalen Brunson's isolation opportunities, Podziemski noted, 'that's what OKC is really good at stopping —you look at the Timberwolves, [the Thunder] know the majority of the points are from [Julius] Randle and [Anthony Edwards], so they're really good at taking that away and forcing others to beat you.' As for the Pacers, their role players have stepped up time and time again throughout the playoffs, even when their star Tyrese Haliburton falls flat.

Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images Though he thinks Indiana will have more of a fighting chance than the Knicks would've, Podziemski concluded that 'OKC is the best team in the NBA for a reason and they won 68 games not by mistake.'

DeSean Jackson says Chiefs HC Andy Reid helped him secure the Delaware State job
DeSean Jackson says Chiefs HC Andy Reid helped him secure the Delaware State job Former NFL wide receiver DeSean Jackson recently appeared as a guest on the 'Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams' to reveal Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid's influence on his hiring at Delaware State. "For sure, he's been very influential. He helped me, you know, in the process of getting this job, "said Jackson. "He put his career and his name on the line for me to get this job. So, I mean, it just shows you how much coach (Andy) Reid helped." Jackson officially retired from the NFL in November 2023 after successful stints with multiple teams. He then turned his attention to coaching, specifically at the college level. "So going through the process, the president and the athletic director asked about, you know, some guys that you know, in reference, and Coach Reid was one of those names that I dropped," said Jackson, "Sean McVay was another one I dropped was Deion Sanders, my old offensive coordinator. So I don't know exactly what the conversation was, but from what I got back from the president of Delaware State and the athletic director, they said some great things about me. They said how good of a leader I was. How can I demand a room? It's just my insight and my IQ on football. So I definitely think it helped me get the job." Jackson was drafted by Reid in 2008, who coached the Philadelphia Eagles at the time. He earned three Pro Bowl selections in his career. Reid congratulated him late last year after he officially accepted the job offer from Delaware State.
