The Minnesota Vikings have made it abundantly clear. . .well, abundantly clear to most people, anyway. . .that they intend to turn the keys to the offense over to young J.J. McCarthy in 2025, barring any sort of setbacks from his meniscus injury. There have been rumors swirling around the Vikings and a certain quarterback who used to play for a certain team from a certain state on Minnesota’s eastern border, and now we’ve learned more about what went into some of that process. Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated has a story out today that talks about the pitch that…
Pat Riley is an NBA legend. His extensive career with the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat has given him a front-row seat to witness the game’s greatest talents—and he’s made his pick for the GOAT. Few figures have left as deep an impact on the NBA as Pat Riley. He’s appeared in countless NBA Finals and, in various roles, has won multiple championships with the Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat. Drawing from his decades of experience and deep basketball knowledge, he named his favorite player. “I always said that Kareem was the greatest player of all time…
In the aftermath of the 2020 NFL Draft, no moment crystallized the unpredictable nature of talent evaluation like the Philadelphia Eagles’ decision to take Jalen Reagor at No. 21 overall, passing on Justin Jefferson. The Eagles, once thought to be targeting Jefferson as their future No. 1 receiver, had the chance to secure a polished, battle-tested playmaker with a track record of dominating SEC defenses. Instead, they opted for Reagor — a fast, high-upside prospect with a limited college resume, particularly in the areas that tend to translate most effectively to the NFL: Route running and technical precision. The laughter…
Massimiliano Allegri is a name that has long been linked to AC Milan, and this summer, the return may actually happen. There have been constant links to Allegri since rumours of Stefano Pioli departing almost two years ago. However, it seems that he has never been closer to the Milan post than he currently is now, even if there is no sporting director in place. Reports this morning suggest that Igli Tare, once again, is the favourite to be named the new director, and included in his list of candidates that he would bring to the club was Allegri, who…
AC Milan want to ensure that they get the best value out of Theo Hernandez, and whether that be keeping him or selling him, one thing is certain: he can’t leave for free. Theo’s future is a really confusing ordeal, given we are entering a second summer with no idea about what is happening. Last summer, it seemed likely that he would sign a contract extension, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic vouching as much. However, he stated that he was not sure about his future when with the French National Team during the European Championship. Since then, there has been a lot…
Strahinja Pavlovic seemed like a mistake of a signing in the first half of the season, but AC Milan did not give up on him. Now, that looks like a wise move. Throughout the first part of the season, many thought that Pavlovic was struggling too much to be a genuine starter for Milan. So, when reports emerged that suggested he could leave in January, there were no surprises. However, there was also intrigue from Atalanta in the latter part of the window, and the Rossoneri opted to keep him. Now, that looks like a great decision. In the past…
In recent years, AC Milan have had consistent issues in defence, and there have been several problems within the area. Unfortunately, there has not been a fix yet. Last season, Milan struggled consistently with injuries in the defensive line, and this caused many to expect a bit of a defensive rebuild in the summer mercato. When that arrived, a new problem came with it. Instead of being impressed with recruitment, many were frustrated with decisions made, with reports suggesting that the mercato spending had been wasted on players that were not improvements on the current squad. So, going into another…
Stefano Pioli has regularly been linked with a move to AS Roma since his time at AC Milan came to a stop, and this summer, the two may finally come together. We go back to the 2023/24 season, where Milan were having a ‘failure’ of a season, despite confirming Champions League football quite early. However, humiliation against Inter and in Europe to an Italian rival was enough to see Stefano Pioli depart. In fact, it was the loss against Roma in the Europa League, against a coach far less experienced, that ended his time with the Rossoneri. As stated in…
t was a disappointing evening for Milan Primavera, who failed to return to winning ways and were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against Monza on matchday 33. At the PUMA House of Football, Guidi’s side fell behind in the eighth minute following a great goal from Berretta, drew level through a Perrucci penalty and then created several chances to come away with the win, including a 93rd-minute strike from Scotti that hit the post. It was a spirited performance that deserved more, but the Rossoneri have put an end to a three-game losing run in all competitions (Sampdoria…
Coming into this season, many had hopes for a Scudetto fight that involved Milan, but it quickly became apparent that this would not be the case. Within the first month of the season, the Rossoneri were miles away, and this distance has only grown as the season has progressed. Unfortunately, the secondary target, the Champions League, also began to slip, and now it is immensely unlikely that the Diavolo will feature in Europe’s premier competition next season, and there is even a chance that the Europa League may not be reached. For Atalanta, though, the story is much different, and…
