Sylvester Stallone Invited by Jeffrey Lurie’s Chestnut Hill Productions for a 26-Minute ‘Tush Push’ Documentary

Philadelphia, PA – May 27, 2025

Philadelphia Eagles chairman Jeffrey Lurie, via his Chestnut Hill Productions, has enlisted Hollywood icon and lifelong Eagles fan Sylvester Stallone to headline a 26-minute documentary celebrating the “Tush Push,” sources confirmed to ESPN. Stallone, a passionate supporter since the 1960s, was chosen for his deep ties to Philadelphia and his embodiment of the city’s underdog spirit, making him ideal for a film spotlighting the polarizing play Lurie staunchly defended at the NFL owners’ meeting.

Lurie’s fervor for the “Tush Push” shone through during the May 21 meeting in Minnesota, where he delivered a 60-minute speech to block a proposed ban, dismissing critics’ arguments as a “wet dream” for opponents. His remarks sparked tension with NFL executive Troy Vincent, but the ban failed with a 22-10 vote, securing the play’s place in the 2025 season.

Chestnut Hill Productions, acclaimed for Oscar-winning documentaries like Summer of Soul, will produce the film, delving into the “Tush Push’s” history and influence. “Sylvester captures the grit we pour into the ‘Tush Push,’” Lurie stated at a press conference. Set for release on September 1, ahead of the Eagles’ season opener against the Dallas Cowboys, the documentary will feature Stallone narrating the play’s journey, from its inception to its critical role in the Super Bowl LIX victory.

The film will include archival footage, showcasing moments like Jason Kelce’s execution and the play’s 86% success rate, according to NFL data. Lurie’s push for the documentary stems from frustration with teams like the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers, who advocated for the ban. Sources indicate Lurie clashed with 49ers owner Jed York over his impassioned defense, while NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell may reconsider the ban in 2026.

Stallone, synonymous with Philadelphia through his Rocky franchise, brings a symbolic resonance. “I’m honored to tell this story—it’s Philly’s heart on display,” he said in a statement. The documentary will also address the play’s safety concerns, refuting claims of elevated injury risks.

Eagles fans on X are electrified. “Stallone narrating the ‘Tush Push’? This is going to be legendary!” one fan posted. Another wrote, “Lurie’s doubling down, and I’m here for it!” The film aims to galvanize Eagles Nation, highlighting their defiance against league pushback.

As the Eagles gear up for their opener, Lurie’s documentary merges his love for football and filmmaking, cementing the “Tush Push” as a defining element of the Philly Special Era.

Tre'von Moehrig Lavishes Praise on the One Who Replaced Him in His Absence
Can you believe it? A veteran star of the Carolina Panthers, Tre'von Moehrig, was suspended for a notorious "punch below the belt," but instead of being jealous, he's showering praise on his "replacement"! What's going on with this team? Read now for the "hot off the press" details from Week 13! The Carolina Panthers just caused an earthquake by defeating the Los Angeles Rams in Week 13, despite missing a slew of key players. Under the "wizardry" of head coach Dave Canales, the team showcased incredible resilience. But the real spotlight belongs to Tre'von Moehrig – the Panthers' top safety, who's sidelined due to a suspension after punching wide receiver Jauan Jennings from the San Francisco 49ers below the belt. Yet, instead of sulking, Moehrig watched from home and... "went wild" over the performance of the rookie who stepped in for him! That's none other than Lathan Ransom, the young gun selected in the 4th round of the draft, who "stole" Moehrig's spot and turned it into his own stage. Ransom not only led the team with 11 tackles but also made his mark with a "top-notch" sack! Moehrig, with his wealth of experience, couldn't hide his excitement: "Man, I was hype (for Lathan Ransom's sack). I could see it all as the play was happening. I was like, Oh, there you go. I could see it all the way. So I was happy for him to get his first sack. He had a great game, and I'm just excited. Sky's the limit for him." (Translation: "Oh man, I was so hyped (for Lathan Ransom's sack). I could see everything as the play unfolded. I was like, Oh, there you go. I saw it all the way. So I was happy for him to get his first sack. He had a great game, and I'm just excited. The sky's the limit for him." This "sweet as honey" praise from Moehrig not only affirms Ransom's talent but also raises the question: Is this "replacement" threatening the starting positions of Moehrig and Nick Scott – the current starting safety duo? Panthers fans have been "whispering" about this for a while, after witnessing Ransom shine in summer practices and his flashy cameo appearances. With this impressive performance, Ransom is sure to get more opportunities, especially as the Panthers are "heating up" in the race for the NFC South championship! At 23 years old, Ransom is seen as a "rough diamond" with explosive potential, thanks to the Panthers' sharp personnel strategy. And Moehrig? This guy was signed as a "bargain" from the free agent market, and his leadership and positive attitude have completely transformed the team's defense in just his first season. That influence is spreading strongly to Ransom – the kid who shares many similarities and is gradually "transforming" into a future star. But that's not all – the lesson from Moehrig is accelerating the "youth revolution" at the Panthers! With this public praise, Moehrig isn't just acknowledging Ransom's growth but also igniting ambition for the entire team. Will the Panthers continue to "soar high" with this new generation? Don't miss out – follow now for the next drama in the NFL!
