London (AP) — Timo Werner, a Germany attacker, will remain on loan at Tottenham from Leipzig for the rest of the season. Spurs confirmed the deal on Tuesday, saying they had the option to sign Werner on a permanent basis. The 28-year-old Werner spent the second part of the recently concluded season on loan at Tottenham, where he was a regular starter and scored twice in 13 Premier League games. A hamstring injury kept him out of Tottenham’s final few games, as the team finished fifth and qualified for the Europa League. Werner, who played for Chelsea from 2020 to…
The New England Patriots passed on the opportunity to choose Deebo Samuel, but they may have found their own version of the San Francisco 49ers’ All-Pro in flexible tight end Jaheim Bell, a late-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft. TJ Brown, the trainer and wide receiver expert, already expects him to do many of the same things Samuel does. Brown told Taylor Kyles of Patriots on CLNS that former high school wideout Bell is a “steal” because he can do some Deebo-type stuff and can do everything. Brown stated that Bell “can get stuff out of the backfield and…
Surprisingly, my favorite Bill Walton meeting featured merely his voice. It was October 2000, the day before John Wooden turned 90. I was visiting Coach in his tiny Encino condo when the phone rang and the answering machine came on. Suddenly, the room was filled with familiar deep and gravelly singing from around the world. “Happy birthday to you … happy birthday to you … happy birthday from Australia…” Wooden smiled. “Oh, that’s Bill Walton,” he announced. The music ended, but Walton was only getting started. Still on the answering machine, just a voice emanating from a box, he began…

That’s going to continue after Angel Reese fired a shot at Caitlin Clark following the Sky’s stunning upset victory…
According to Eshaun Watson, the Cleveland Browns-Pittsburgh Steelers rivalry is one of the best in sports. Watson spent the last two seasons with the Browns and has seen enough to grasp the rivalry between the AFC North teams. Cleveland’s quarterback shared his thoughts on the most recent episode of his “QB Unplugged” podcast. “Cleveland-Pittsburgh, for sure,” Watson remarked. “It is even bigger than Cincinnati. It is not Baltimore. Baltimore is up there, but it’s not as authentic as Pittsburgh.” Watson’s top four rivalries also featured Duke vs. North Carolina in college basketball, Georgia vs. Florida in college football, and Barcelona…
Leeds United passed up the opportunity to recruit club great Joel Ward in 2012, a move that would have changed history.

Joel Ward, a former Portsmouth defender, joined Crystal Palace in the summer of 2012 and has gone on to become a club icon at Selhurst Park over the last 12 years.

An NBA reporter advocated that the Cleveland Cavaliers trade Darius Garland to the Orlando Magic. Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report presented the following trade scenario for the Cavaliers and Magic: Darius Garland traded for Jalen Suggs and a 2025 first-round selection. According to NBA insiders Shams Charania, Joe Vardon, and Jason Lloyd of The Athletic, Rich Paul would talk to the Cavaliers about dealing Garland if Donovan Mitchell signs an extension this offseason. “Furthermore, rival executives believe the Cavs will have to seriously evaluate the fit of Mitchell and Garland and ultimately may have to choose one or the other,”…

Despite their surprising FA Cup Final victory over local rivals Manchester City on Saturday afternoon, some Manchester United players’ futures remain uncertain. It’s reasonable to say that the incumbent Premier League champions were heavy favourites to complete a double-double under the Wembley arch, but an incredible performance from the Red Devils ensured they won the trophy for the first time since 2016. Goals from teenage duo Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho ensured Erik ten Hag secured the second major honour of his tenure at Old Trafford, with Jeremy Doku’s second-half strike doing little to prevent it. The former Ajax manager’s…
