The Tush Push is over.

The Philadelphia Eagles’ signature play will never happen again as it once again became a hot-button issue during the 2025 NFL offseason. Specifically, the NFL is weighing whether the play should be banned due to concerns about “player safety” and “pace of play.”

The NFL was set to decide about the play’s future this week.

Hours before it would happen, NFL insider Dianna Russini would announce that “both the league’s competition and players’ health and safety committees have voted to ban the play.”

“Despite the Eagles’ best efforts, the tush push is likely on its way out, sources say,” she continued.

 

The Green Bay Packers contributed to this effort by submitting a revised proposal to ban the play that played an integral role in the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2024 Super Bowl run.

Green Bay’s revised version of the proposed ban is broader and similar to the NFL’s language from 1920 through the 2005 season, which prohibited players from pushing or pulling the runner in any direction. Their hard work has paid off, and now the Eagles will have to think of something else on short-yardage downs.

Yes, the Eagles and other teams could likely find a creative way to mimic the “Tush Push,” but whatever they come up with would likely look more like a traditional quarterback sneak.

The ability to push the quarterback is one of the main reasons the play has been virtually unstoppable over the past few seasons.

Multiple Eagles Players Downplayed Tush Push Vote

It’s a play the Eagles have used to nearly 90% effectiveness over the past three seasons in short-yardage and goal-line situations. Now, the Eagles will never Tush Push again.

When asked about the pending vote to ban pushing a player forward, Nick Sirianni and several players had a relative sense of nonchalance.

“I think it’s only one yard,” said Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown.

“We’ll see where it goes,” Sirianni said.

“We’re not waiting very long to figure it out. It’s going to be public (May 21), and you know how I feel about it. We were at the owners’ meetings, and we talked about how we felt about it. I don’t think anyone can question what my sentiment is, so we’ll see what happens.”

Left tackle Jordan Mailata added, “They’re ruling [on] the push? I guess we’ll just do it with no push.

“In terms of them banning the tush push, I hate that name, so I hope they do ban it — it’s a stupid name,” Mailata joked.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is not the most popular guy on TV. That much was apparent while he was calling the Wild Card game between the Broncos and Bills for CBS on Sunday.

Romo, who has done very little to hide how much he admires Buffalo QB Josh Allen, had some praise for the MVP favorite while he was attempting to take his team to the Divisional Round.

Some fans felt like he was being overly gracious, while some simply couldn’t stand him talking in general.

“STFU AGAIN ROMO!!!!!!!!! I’M TIRED OF YOUR BILLS AND CHIEFS GLAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU’RE SICKENING ASF!!!!!!!!!!” an X user wrote.

“Can we start a petition to ban Romo from calling games,” another asked.

“Can Tony Romo get off his kneees for Josh Allen?” someone else chimed in.

“Tv muted when romo starts talking,” a fan claimed.

Tony Romo’s Partner Reached Impressive Milestone

While Romo was getting slammed, his broadcast colleague touched an impressive milestone.

Jim Nantz has been with CBS for over 40 years and reached his 500th game with the network calling Sunday’s fixture.

Nantz and Romo have been working together for seven of those 40 years.

Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson has emerged as one of the most prominent figures in women’s basketball. Her outstanding achievements and dominant performances on the court have boosted her confidence in her skills. However, this confidence has recently caused her some trouble, as NBA fans criticized her for a recent statement she made.

In a recent episode of the “Roommates” show, Wilson stunned both the NBA and WNBA by claiming that she could defeat New York Knicks star Josh Hart in a one-on-one matchup. Additionally, she predicted that the final score would be 11-8.

“Score would be 11-8, me. I’m not saying you gonna go scoreless, 8 to 11 is pretty solid. So, what do you think it’ll be, Josh?” Wilson said.

Although Josh and Wilson both had a good laugh during their conversation, Wilson’s comment stirred up the basketball community. “She’d lose 11-0 w him only playing w his offhand,” one fan said.
