Brian Dawkins lends his Hall-of-Fame eyes to the analysis of an Eagles star defensive back
Weapon X is sold on Cooper DeJean. What else needs to be said now? Forgive the lack of knowledge for where this phrase originated, but its origin isn't as important as the phrase itself. 'One's opinion is only as valuable as a person's knowledge of a particular subject. Here's another way of stating the same thing. Who better to comment on the Philadelphia Eagles' brilliance than one of the best players to ever suit up in midnight or Kelly Green? The legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Brian Dawkins certainly qualifies. He's on just about everyone's Eagles Mount Rushmore, and if he isn't on yours, you may want to rethink your evaluation strategy. Recently, he appeared as a guest on 94 WIP-FM during a live broadcast from training camp. He mentioned a rising star. Of course you're interested. Why on Earth wouldn't you be? Brian Dawkins joins the growing Cooper DeJean fan club Every time we think Cooper DeJean's star can't get any brighter, it does, so at this point, perhaps it's best to resign ourselves to theories about his brilliance and vast potential. His name recently earned a mention from one of the best DBs of his time, Pro Football Hall of Famer Brian Dawkins. What else needs to be said? When Weapon X talks about great DB talent, you will hear no rebuttal from this direction. It's year two for DeJean. He is already a Super Bowl champion. He picked off Patrick Mahomes in Super Bowl 59. Then, he wore a suit to the ring ceremony commemorating the moment. His teammate, A.J. Brown, sees the All-Pro potential. He's one of the hosts of the Exciting Mics podcast. His flame is indeed burning brightly, and it appears it will burn for a while. His collegiate career ended with him being named a Unanimous All-American. His professional career began with his inclusion on the PFWA All-Rookie Team. What will he do for an encore after a great rookie season? Time will tell, but, like Dawkins, the expectation is that another great campaign is coming.

Marvel Rivals: Wolverine's New Skin has Sparked a Debate on the Game Being Sexist
Ever since Marvel Rivals came out, the game has been branded as 'gooner bait' for the sexualization of several characters; but on the flip side, some fans argue that both men and women are equally sexualized in the game, so it's all fair. However, the recent release of Wolverine's Weapon X skin seems to have proven that men get more of a pass when it comes to being objectified. First, let's check out the reveal: 🆕 Wolverine: Weapon X Coming to the #MarvelRivals in-game store on Thursday at 10 PM EDT. — Miller Ross (@mmmmmmmmiller) June 2, 2025 Immediately, a lot of fans are outraged that the skin would have Wolverine wearing long shorts. Anyone who knows their X-Men history knows that this look often has Wolverine in trunks or completely naked. Even the Fox movies knew they had to show as much skin as they could: Admittedly, they did give Weapon X shorts in X-Men: Apocalypse , but everyone agrees that was a bad movie. Already the reveal of the Weapon X skin is getting spammed with complaints about Logan wearing pants and not being fully naked. I mean, I get why they can't make him naked, but they could have at least settled with trunks. Invisible Woman and Emma Frost have skins that are as revealing as they can get. Meanwhile this is the Weapon X in other media… Rivals truly isn't beating the misogynist/Gooner allegations with this one… — Kendra Targaryen (@UncannyKendra) June 2, 2025 Seeing how conservative NetEase is (when it comes to men), it's possible that they wouldn't be 'fixing' this anytime soon. Either way, it does seem like some fans are pleased with the look, and that's all you really need. Marvel Rivals is now available for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. The Weapon X skin comes to the store on June 6.
