data-mm-id=”_kku5kc7j1″>The Indianapolis Colts and Cleveland Browns banded together to create pure chaos in the early window with a back-and-forth affair where points were given away like candy and the team with the ball last would prevail. Which made the controversial call that decided things even more crucial. With 47 seconds remaining, the Colts held a 38-33 lead over the Browns, who had P.J. Walker in for an injured (maybe) Deshaun Watson. Cleveland's red-zone play was blown up by linebacker E.J. Speed, who forced a fumble that was recovered by the Colts' DeForest Bucker. Which would have meant game over. But a dubious and painful illegal contact foul was levied on Darrell Baker Jr. in the end zone for briefly holding up Amari Cooper and that negated the big play. It sure…
data-mm-id=”_jsewj8xiw”>The Philadelphia Eagles' legendary slide into disgrace was finished on Monday at the hands of Baker Mayfield's Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card Round of the NFL playoffs. Philly started the season 10-1 and then lost five of its final six games along with a division title. There was not much optimism heading into Monday's contest but most figured the Birds would at least have a chance because they have the better quarterback and generally more talent. It turns out any and all hope was misplaced. Philadelphia lost, 32-9, and looked worse than its had at any point during the regular season. Most of the blame for that has to fall on Nick Sirianni. Not just because he's the head coach and thus the guy who takes the heat when things go poorly …
data-mm-id=”_98tkl17ow”>A former All-Star second baseman and oft-injured outfielder wasn’t at the top of New York Yankees’ wish list as far as trade deadline needs, but the club made the move anyway.In their first attempt to upgrade their roster, the Yankees reportedly acquired Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the Miami Marlins in exchange for Triple-A catcher Agustin Ramirez and two additional prospects. Hitting .249 with 13 home runs and 22 steals, the 26-year-old Chisholm figures to energize manager Aaron Boone’s lineup.Bullpen help remains New York’s biggest need. However, it never hurts to add speed and defensive versatility. The question is Chisholm’s fit — in the lineup as well as in the clubhouse.The latter dynamic came into question in March when Chisholm went on a podcast a…
data-mm-id=”_tly3300my”>Josh Rosen's NFL career will forever be defined by the most unflattering terms.The Arizona Cardinals selected Rosen at No. 10 overall in the 2018 NFL Draft despite league scouts' doubts about "his passion for football." The former UCLA star ended up throwing more interceptions (14) than touchdown passes (11) in his rookie season during which the Cardinals finished a league-worst 3-13. That prompted a coaching change and allowed Arizona to draft Kyler Murray with the No. 1 pick in 2019.Rosen would only play 10 more games over two seasons with the Miami Dolphins (2019) and Atlanta Falcons (2021). His football resume ends with 2022 practice-squad deals with the Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings, and his place is cemented as one of the NFL&#…
Cole Palmer did not include a goal bonus in the seven-year Chelsea contract he signed last September and is kicking himself as a result, according to a report.

Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel says he is deeply offended by the criticism from the German club s honorary president Uli Hoeness.

It offends me deeply
Hoeness ill-timed jibe comes on the back of 20,000 Bayern fans signing a petition urging the club to reconsider their decision to part ways with Tuchel at the end of the season.
It offends me deeply as a coach, said in response to Hoeness comments.
If we have proven something in the coaching team over the last 15 years, it is that young play…
