Shough finished the 2025 regular season 5–3 as a starter — he did not open the year as the team’s starter — with 333 passing yards his career high in the final game of New Orleans’ schedule. The Saints closed at 6–10 but won four straight to end the year under first-year head coach Kellen Moore. Tennessee finished 3–13, going 1–8 at home across the 2025 season and failing to win back-to-back games at any point during the year.

Born and raised in New York, she spent years covering professional sports across multiple leagues before launching this publication in April 2026, largely out of frustration with a sports media industry that had decided moving fast mattered more than being right. Her reporting covers the NFL, NBA, MLB, cricket, and international football, and every figure published under her byline is verified against official data before the piece moves. She started The Press Row because she believed readers who actually understood the game deserved a publication built to the same standard. That standard has not changed since day one, and it applies to every writer on staff.
