Former Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields is getting a new start in 2025. The Bears traded the former first-round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers last offseason before drafting Caleb Williams with the No. 1 pick in the 2024 draft. Williams did something Fields never could in Chicago. He led the Bears to a victory over the Green Bay Packers (on the road in Lambeau Field in Week 18). Chicago nearly swept the Packers in 2024 if a last-second field goal attempt from Cairo Santos wasn’t blocked (or the officials blew the whistle for a penalty) in their first meeting in…
The Dallas Mavericks are reeling from a succession of injuries that has killed off their season. The way the Dallas Mavericks have fallen apart in recent weeks has been likened to the infamous ‘Curse Of The Bambino‘, with the team somehow plagued by their decision to trade away Luka Doncic. The decision made by the Mavs shocked the league, angering their own fans, and shortening their own window for success. The team has fallen apart since with injuries, the team decimated to the point where the team are wondering whether they can put a full roster out for their next…
Luka Doncic and the Los Angeles Lakers fell 111-101 to the Boston Celtics on Saturday night at TD Garden. The Lakers endured multiple injuries to the starting lineup, including Jaxson Hayes (right knee contusion), Rui Hachimura (left patellar tendinopathy), and LeBron James (exited in the fourth quarter due to groin strain). Doncic needed to provide for the shorthanded Lakers, and he supplied 34 points on 50% shooting. While Doncic is new to the historic Lakers-Celtics rivalry, the five-time All-NBA First Team member holds his own personal rivalry with Boston after a five-game loss in last year’s NBA Finals. In his…
Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini spoke to the media following the Giallorossi’s 1-0 win over Empoli. The Italian midfielder was asked about Claudio Ranieri’s choices and rotations between competitions. “Let’s say we carry a bit of waste with us. We’re a wasteful team on nights like tonight,” he told reporters in his post-match presser. “Now, in addition to the performance in which I can have fun and play with the ball at my feet a lot, I would need to score. But beyond that, with serenity you can achieve anything.” “We are available to do whatever the coach asks of us.…
We have often seen players support AC Milan this season if they are unavailable for selection for whatever reason, and this happened once again with Mike Maignan this weekend. Throughout the year, despite talks of splits in the management, the squad has remained quite close to one another, trying to fight against the difficulties of their season together, rather than facing the challenges alone. We saw it in the Champions League, where Matteo Gabbia and Alessandro Florenzi both flew out to Madrid to watch the 3-1 win, and there have been several other moments similar since. Now, the latest instance…
With Giorgio Furlani being named as the new top dog of AC Milan’s management, there may be some concerns, given the recent issues. However, it seems he may not be the issue. There have been several problems with the management in recent years, and the ‘group’, if you want to call them that, have often been public enemy number one for Milan fans. However, that may be to do with specific components in that team. Fans’ views of Gerry Cardinale are heard regularly at San Siro or elsewhere, but there has also been criticism of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his traits…
Milan are reportedly open to the idea of a defensive overhaul during the summer transfer window, as centre-backs Fikayo Tomori, Malick Thiaw and Strahinja Pavlovic could all be moved on if appropriate offers come in over the next few months. According to reports from Calciomercato.com, Matteo Gabbia is the only current Rossoneri centre-back ‘guaranteed’ to still be part of the squad at the beginning of the 2025-26 Serie A season. The Rossoneri have struggled to get going at any stage of the 2024-25 season, and could make drastic changes over the summer in an attempt to return to competing for…
Even if the Boston Celtics repeat as NBA champions this season, they’ll have challenging offseason decisions to make before the 2025-26 campaign begins. Boston could trade a valuable NBA champion guard to the Detroit Pistons this summer, likely upsetting many Celtics fans. Trading Jrue Holiday isn’t necessarily what the Boston Celtics will want to do, but with Jayson Tatum’s massive $314 million extension kicking in next year and the emergence of backup point guard Payton Pritchard this season, moving the 34-year-old now while he still has value makes sense,” Bleacher Report’s Greg Swartz wrote Monday. “Holiday will turn 35 in…
Saturday night may have been the biggest regular-season game of the year. The Boston Celtics took on the new-look Los Angeles Lakers, with Luka Doncic at the helm. It was the first time Doncic has squared off against the Celtics since his defeat in the 2024 NBA Finals, and anytime LeBron James plays Boston, there’s some extra juice. But Al Horford stole the show. Literally. If the Lake Show Lakers are defined by Doncic and James, which they are, then Horford completely ruined their movie production. At every turn, he managed to shut down the Lakers’ biggest stars, spearheading Boston’s…
March 10 (Reuters) – Inter Milan must welcome the challenge of navigating through a packed fixture list and take pride in being successful on multiple fronts, coach Simone Inzaghi said on Monday ahead of their Champions League second leg against Feyenoord. The Serie A leaders, who won 2-0 at Feyenoord last week, host the Dutch side in the return on Tuesday before visiting third-placed Atalanta in a key league clash on Sunday. They have also reached the Coppa Italia semi-finals in which they will take on local rivals AC Milan next month. “The schedule should not be a problem but…
