Tush push lives: Proposal to ban play in NFL fails

ESPNWednesday, May 21, 2025 at 4:52:18 PM

The NFL won't be banning the "tush push" play—at least for now. Despite some teams pushing to outlaw the controversial move (which the Eagles have turned into a near-unstoppable short-yardage weapon), the league's owners didn't have enough votes to scrap it during their spring meeting.

What This Means: Love it or hate it, the tush push—where players shove the quarterback forward from behind—is sticking around. The Eagles' success with it made this a heated debate, but without consensus, the play stays legal. For fans, that means more gritty short-yardage moments (and probably more groans from defenses). Rule changes often take time in the NFL, so this might not be the last we hear of it.

Sources: Endrick out of CWC, Bellingham set for op

negativeSports

Real Madrid's rising star Endrick is set to miss the Club World Cup after suffering a hamstring injury that'll keep him sidelined for two months, according to ESPN sources. Meanwhile, teammate Jude Bellingham is reportedly scheduled for an operation—though details on his situation remain unclear.

What This Mean: For Madrid fans, this is a tough blow—Endrick’s electric potential made him one to watch at the tournament, and Bellingham’s situation adds another layer of concern. Injuries always shake up team dynamics, but when they hit key players ahead of a major competition, it’s more than just a lineup headache—it could tilt the odds.

NWSL's Boston to play 1st season at Gillette

neutralSports

The Boston Legacy, a new National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) team set to launch in 2026, will kick off their debut season at Gillette Stadium—home of the New England Patriots—instead of their planned custom venue. The switch comes because renovations at their intended stadium site are running behind schedule.

What This Mean: While it’s not ideal to start in a temporary home, playing at Gillette gives the Legacy a high-profile venue with solid infrastructure and fan capacity. The delay in their permanent stadium might frustrate some supporters, but it also buys time to get the long-term home right. For the NWSL, it’s another sign of growth, even if hiccups like this come with the territory.
