NFL: The "Tush Push" Is Here To Stay + Jim Irsay, Colts Owner, Passes Away at 65

Reese, Kmac and Alex discuss Ryan Clark's comments on "The Pivot," the "tush push," Jim Irsay passing away and more.

Ryan Clark and Robert Griffin III (RG3) are embroiled in a public feud that has escalated over recent days, involving alleged personal attacks and broader discussions on race and representation in sports media. The conflict began when RG3 criticized Angel Reese's behavior during a recent WNBA game, suggesting that her actions were driven by personal animosity toward Caitlin Clark. In response, Ryan Clark condemned RG3's remarks, accusing him of perpetuating negative narratives about Reese. Ryan Clark spoke about all this on his podcast titled, "The Pivot." What did Clark say??

The NFL has decided to maintain the legality of the "tush push" play for the 2025 season. At the recent owners' meeting in Eagan, Minnesota, a proposal to ban the play narrowly failed, receiving 22 votes in favor and 10 against, falling short of the required (24) two-thirds majority. Despite the majority of team owners supporting the ban, teams like the Detroit Lions opposed it. The play, popularized and perfected by the Philadelphia Eagles, has sparked intense debate among fans and officials regarding its impact on the game. Critics argue it gives an unfair advantage and is dull from an entertainment perspective, while proponents highlight the lack of direct evidence linking it to increased injuries and credit Philly's strategy and execution.

The Green Bay Packers had proposed the ban, citing concerns over player safety and the pace of play. Despite the failed proposal, the debate over the tush push is expected to continue, with discussions potentially influencing future league decisions.

Jim Irsay, the longtime owner of the Indianapolis Colts, passed away on May 21, 2025, at the age of 65. He died peacefully in his sleep at his home in Carmel, Indiana.
