The Pittsburgh Steelers named their starting quarterback, and are heading into the 2024 season behind Russell Wilson and a new offense. But after a long summer of debating whether they should choose Wilson or Justin Fields, many are skeptical the Steelers made the right call. Former NFL offensive lineman and current analyst Mark Schlereth is one of those who believe the Steelers will regret their decision. And not only will they change what they’ve done, but he predicts that they’ll do it before the midway point in the season. “I’m gonna say five,” Schlereth said on his podcast Stinkin’ Truth,…
Justin Holiday is coming off a season where he appeared in 58 games for the Denver Nuggets. He finished the year with averages of 4.0 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists per contest while shooting 45.4% from the field and 40.4% from the three-point range.

Max Verstappen has admitted that Red Bull need to “change the whole car” if he is to return to winning ways, as he revealed he was battling an engine issue throughout a disappointing Italian Grand Prix. After a poor qualifying session saw him start the Italian Grand Prix from seventh on the grid, the Dutchman could only manage to improve one position over the course of the 53-lap race, finishing a whopping 37.9s behind race winner Leclerc. Red Bull were unable to match the pace of their fellow top teams and carried out a two-stop strategy that did not contribute…
Tonight’s game against the Rockies served as the latest chapter in a grueling second half for the Orioles. Dean Kremer left the game after taking a line drive off his throwing arm, Ramón Urías took a pitch off his nose before rolling his ankle, and Craig Kimbrel allowed the go-ahead runs in the eighth inning. At the end of a brutal night, the Orioles fell 7-5 on Saturday night at Coors Field. Kremer needed only 10 pitches to complete a scoreless first, but he stumbled in the second inning. Brenton Doyle sliced a leadoff double down the left-field line, and…
Daniele De Rossi sat down with the media on Saturday to discuss Roma’s visit to Juventus on Sunday evening and the club’s summer transfer business. Do you think Roma might look at bringing in any free agents? And could the two new signings, Manu Kone and Alexis Saelemaekers, make the squad for this game? “Everyone will be in the squad unless there are any last-minute hitches. We’ll consider how much they’ve played recently and their pre-seasons but everyone will come with us. “Our transfer business has been good and I’m happy with what we’ve done. We were caught out by…

Goals from Taty Castellanos and Boulaye Dia inside five minutes turned the game on its head in the second half, until the substitute Rafael Leao scored an equaliser which…
Gianluca Di Marzio has given some back story on AC Milan’s pursuit of a new head coach during the summer and the eventual decision to land on Paulo Fonseca. It was announced before the final game of the 2023-24 season that Stefano Pioli would be leaving his position as manager after almost five years in charge, and the search to find his successor then began with numerous candidates linked. Julen Lopetegui seemed very close to arriving but the fan reaction was that strong that the management seemed to perform a U-turn and he ended up at West Ham. Then, Paulo Fonseca became…
Some interesting news has emerged regarding Stefano Pioli’s contract situation with AC Milan, and it has been confirmed that the club are still paying him.

It has not been the start to the season that Paulo Fonseca wanted as AC Milan head coach, and the three games that are immediately after the international break could determine his immediate future.

Sky report that Milan’s priority now is to use the break to calm things down, because when the games resume there will be a…
Marc Marquez has given his opinion on the crash in the Aragon MotoGP between Francesco Bagnaia and Alex Marquez. Marquez, who eventually won the Aragon race by five seconds ahead of Jorge Martin, wasn’t too outspoken one way or the other, but seemed to lay the blame more at the door of his future teammate, Bagnaia, saying he was “optimistic”. “I saw it,” Marquez told the post-race press conference of the incident. “And I think that Alex went wide. He was in the track, but when you arrive on that right corner, he didn’t expect to have Pecco [Bagnaia] there.…
