James Maddison has made an honest admission of Aston Villa after he helped Tottenham to a dominant 4-0 win at Villa Park. The England international opened the scoring just after half time by guiding home Pape Matar Sarr’s cross from close range with Brennan Johnson, Son Heung-min and Timo Werner all on target later in the half….. A red card for John McGinn midway through the second period also significantly damaged Villa’s hopes of getting back into the game. However Postecoglou’s verdict on the sending off certainly suggests he did not think it had much of an impact on the result….. “I don’t…
Christian Booher: I think the Lions have a strong chance to come out of free agency with a legitimate defensive playmaker. With Brad Holmes’ abundance of salary cap space, the Lions should be able to make competitive offers for a number of the top free agents available. In terms of specific players, I think Detroit has a very good chance at landing a player like Stephon Gilmore. Holmes & Co. have the connection with Gilmore’s brother, Steven, on the roster already, and Stephon would be an ideal, short-term commitment that could also allow them to develop a young corner. Vito…
William Amos Hough High School corner Samari Matthewsis one of the top defenders in the 2026 cycle. He commands 29 offers from some of the top programs in the country. Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, Tennessee, USC, and others are names in this recruitment. Matthews had initially set up a rough visit schedule for the spring but had to alter some plans. He will now be in Knoxville, Tennessee, on April 1, which will be on the latter half of his spring visit tour. It will be his first trip to Rocky Top; the Vols were Matthews’s third offer. He ranks…
Trade rumors surrounding Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson have began to heat up. So much so that NFL writers have begun to suggest potential trade destinations this offseason for Johnson. Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport touted the Dallas Cowboys as a potential landing spot for Johnson. “Getting Johnson’s $15.8 million cap hit to fit on Dallas’ books given their annual cap issues would take a little doing, but extending the 27-year-old would solve that issue,” wrote Davenport. “With Dallas being awarded a pair of compensatory draft picks this week, the Cowboys have more draft capital with which…
Matthew Stafford had a bounce-back year in 2023, helping to lead the Los Angeles Rams to a surprising 10-7 record and a postseason berth. However, the 36-year-old Texas native is closer to the end than the beginning, and head coach Sean McVay knows he needs to start thinking about the future at the quarterback position. Stafford missed one game last season due to a sprained ligament in his right thumb, a 20-3 loss on the road to the Green Bay Packers in Week 9. Brett Rypien made the start in Stafford’s absence and struggled, finishing 13-of-28 for 130…
Baylor School wide receiver Joakim Dodsonhas been committed to the Tennessee Volunteers for almost a month, and things continue to go well between those two sides. Dodson ranks as the No. 606 prospect in the 2025 class and has scheduled an official visit for the Vols for the weekend of June 20. A few weeks later, Tennessee Rivals has confirmed that Dodson will transfer to The Baylor School. Dodson logged 49 receptions for 839 yards and seven touchdowns during his junior season at Collierville and ranks as the No. 556 prospect in the 2025 class, according to the 247Sports’ Composite…
Sports analytics giant Pro Football Focus has identified Denver Broncos starting center Lloyd Cushenberry, an impending unrestricted free agent, as a candidate for the 2024 franchise tag — a maneuver that could bridge a long-term extension between player and team. “Cushenberry has turned himself into one of the better centers in the NFL after a rough start to his career,” PFF analyst Marcus Mosher wrote Wednesday. “The 2023 season was his best, allowing just one sack despite playing well over 1,000 snaps on offense. The Broncos and Cushenberry will likely come to a long-term agreement but don’t be surprised…
T-Wolves’ Anthony Edwards smashes head on rim during nasty game-winning blocked shot Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star guard Anthony Edwards might have had one of the best game-winning blocks in NBA history on Thursday night against the Indiana Pacers – one that left his head hurting. With the Timberwolves owning a 113-111 lead with just seconds to play in the fourth quarter, Edwards could not hit the dagger two-pointer, and the Pacers got the rebound with time to go down the floor and tie it. Pacers guard Aaron Nesmith received a long pass, and it looked like he was going to…
On Saturday evening, the Boston Celtics will be in Arizona for a showdown with the Phoenix Suns. For the game, the Celtics will have their best player in the starting lineup, as All-Star forward Jayson Tatum has been upgraded to available. The former Duke star had initially been listed as probable. Tatum is having another fantastic season and enters the evening with averages of 26.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 47.6% from the field and 37.3% from the three-point range in 59 games. The Celtics are the first seed in the…
Why do I keep watching the endings of Sacramento Kings games? Maybe for the same reason that people slow down when they’re driving by the wreckage left by a car crash. Sometimes things are just so terrible, you can’t look away. Unfortunately, neither can Sacramento Kings Coach Mike Brown nor Phoenix Suns Coach Frank Vogel. Both coaches have had the unenviable bad fortune of having to stand there and watch their teams consistently crumple over in the 4th quarter like a couple of empty potato sacks. On Monday, March 4th, the Sacramento Kings choked away a 22-point lead to…
