On Saturday night, with the Dodgers trailing the Mets 2-1 in the seventh inning, a controversial play took place that swung the momentum of the game (and if you ask some people, the momentum of the series already, somehow).

Howie Kendrick stepped to the plate with runners on the corners and grounded one to the middle of the diamond. In an effort to break up a potential double-play, Chase Utley slid hard into (within somewhat of the vicinity of) second base and took out Ruben Tejada, allowing the tying run to score.

Utley was initially ruled out, but the play was overturned and he was put on second base. Tejada would be carted off the field and head to the hospital with a fractured right fibula.

The Dodgers would go on to score three more runs in the inning and win 5-2, tying the series at 1-1.

Welcome to the first ever BroadStBeat.com Fantasy Football League. Anyone is welcome to join.

As of now there is no prize for the winner but maybe we will be able to find someone to sponsor it or dig something up. No promises though.

If this gets enough interest, maybe we will start a second league for others. The goal: have fun and talk some shit on Twitter.

The link to join is below and as of now the draft is set for 8 p.m. on Sunday, September 6.

Kyle had the pleasure of joining Vaughn Johnson (Philly.com) and Nick Piccone (PhillyVoice.com; BleedPhilly.com; PhillyInfluencer.com) on The Straight Shooters to discuss the latest in pro wrestling. 

The guys hit on these topics: Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka’s arrest and charges for murder, Zahra Schrieber’s firing from WWE, TNA’s Bram being arrested for domestic violence, and the guys also hit on Raw from this past Monday.

The guys take a few callers and then end the show with a new segment: the Thursday Night Debate.

WrestleMania 31 (AKA WrestleMania Play Button): A Ranting, Raving Essay Mostly for Neophytes

Hello wrestling and Broad Street Beat fans, one and all. It is I, your favorite troll commenter and paragon of virtue, Dan Aleksander. I'm here to give you the run down and some predictions for the biggest non-sporting sporting event of the year, WrestleMania. It's going down this Sunday night, live on the WWE Network for just $9.99 (or on pay-per-view, if you're Total Deadbeat Rob Lowe).

Chances are this is the one time you probably might watch professional wrestling with someone, as WrestleMania equally draws in pro-wrestling devotees, lapsed fans and those affiliated with said fans but who otherwise have no connection to watching men and women in spandex pretend to grapple. This year's mega-event (The Super Bowl of Professional Wrestling / The World Series of Sports Entertainment) comes to you from Levi's Stadium in San Fra.. San Jo... Santa Clara, California - the house that Jim Harbaugh's $8.00 khakis built.

Here's a terse run down of the super card and its respective competitors, in case you need the primer or refresher course:

Daniel Bryan made a major announcement on Monday Night Raw.

Bryan had sent the below tweet out earlier in the day, and after Raw opened with a recap of Edge's retirement speech, there were plenty of nervous fans wondering if this could be the end for Bryan.
