TOPChargers offseason upgrades around Justin Herbert falling apart already
The Los Angeles Chargers' training camp has started with significant setbacks, undermining their offseason efforts to upgrade the offense around quarterback Justin Herbert. Three key offensive upgrades are already sidelined: running back J.K. Dobbins suffered an injury in a fireworks accident (practice status unclear), wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. begins camp on the PUP list, and rookie receiver Brenden Rice is holding out in a contract dispute, marking the NFL's first rookie holdout. These absences directly impact the Chargers' planned offensive diversification, specifically hindering improvements to the ground game, vertical passing, and play action. Furthermore, Dobbins needs to learn the new offense, Chark needs to rebuild chemistry with Herbert, and Rice requires adaptation to the NFL, quarterback, and system. Consequently, the Chargers enter camp relying heavily on rookie running back Omarion Hampton, two interior offensive linemen who struggled last season, and receivers Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston. This situation puts the team "off on the wrong foot" at the start of training camp.

TOPLos Angeles Rams 2025 Training Camp Guide: Dates, Location, and Fan Access at LMU
The Los Angeles Rams suffered a 28-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2025 Divisional Round, ending their postseason run. Despite this, they maintain their status as the top team in the NFC West, though questions remain about closing the gap with the Eagles. Significant offseason upgrades include acquiring receiver Davante Adams to replace Cooper Kupp, bolstering offensive potential, and signing defensive tackle Poona Ford to improve a rush defense that ranked 23rd last season. The Rams retained veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford with an extension, signaling a win-now approach. Training camp will be held at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, starting July 24 and concluding with the last open practice on August 3. Both rookies and veterans must report by July 22. Eight public practices will be held, requiring free tickets available for reservation starting June 25 via therams.com/trainingcamp. Post-camp activities include joint practices with the Dallas Cowboys in Oxnard on August 5, followed by a preseason game against them on August 9. Another joint practice with the Los Angeles Chargers is scheduled for August 13 before facing them in a preseason game. The final preseason matchup will be against the Cleveland Browns on August 23.

Steelers and 49ers mock trade swaps receivers in potential NFL stunner
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Jauan Jennings' tenure with the San Francisco 49ers appears uncertain, potentially making him available for trade. The Pittsburgh Steelers are viewed as a likely suitor, actively seeking a significant upgrade at wide receiver to bolster their offensive weapons. The Steelers' recent acquisition strategy—exemplified by trading for Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith before extending Smith's contract with a raise—could serve as a model for pursuing Jennings. Pittsburgh has sufficient salary cap space to absorb Jennings' $7.5 million contract this season, considering it excellent value for a versatile and physical receiver. General Manager Omar Khan is expected to aggressively pursue Jennings if he hits the trade market. In a proposed mock trade, the Steelers would acquire Jennings and likely sign him to a short-term extension with a moderate pay increase. In return, the 49ers would receive speedy receiver Calvin Austin III, who has shown potential but lacks consistent production. Austin could thrive in San Francisco's creative offense, particularly as temporary depth while Brandon Aiyuk recovers from injury. The deal would also involve a mid-round draft pick swap to balance value. Jennings is coming off a breakout 2024 season with 77 receptions for 975 yards and six touchdowns, heightening his value. The Steelers covet his playing style, while the 49ers gain a developmental prospect in Austin. Both teams could benefit from this scenario, creating a potential win-win outcome.

Newcastle United shock as player seen walking with ‘a limp’ during pre-season camp
Newcastle United fans expressed early injury concerns during the club's pre-season camp in Austria after observing a player with a heavily strapped knee. This comes as the team prepares for a busy pre-season schedule ahead of the Premier League opener against Aston Villa, including the inaugural Adidas Trophy match against Celtic this Saturday (potentially featuring Anthony Elanga's debut) and subsequent tours to Singapore and South Korea, before concluding with the Sela Cup against Atletico Madrid. The player identified with the strapping was defender Sven Botman. This caused particular worry due to Botman's significant recent injury history; he missed 10 months of the 2023/24 season after tearing his ACL and required further knee surgery in January, though less severe than the initial injury. Fans voiced their concerns on social media (platform X), noting Botman appeared to have a limp and commenting on his injury-prone status. Reactions included fears he wouldn't be injury-free, hopes it was merely precautionary, calls to sign a new centre-back urgently, questions about the bandage, and worries that his season start might be delayed until January. However, the reports clarify that there is no new injury. The strapping on Botman's knee is a precautionary measure, and he is expected to wear it throughout much of the upcoming 2025/26 season as part of his management plan.

They pulled off huge March Madness upsets. Now they’re opting out of revenue sharing
Three notable underdog schools in NCAA basketball history—Saint Peter's, Fairleigh Dickinson, and Maryland-Baltimore County (UMBC)—have declined to participate in college sports' new revenue-sharing model stemming from the House settlement. While all members of the Power Five conferences (ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC) and many other Division I schools opted in by the June 30 deadline, these schools chose not to. Saint Peter's, which reached the 2022 men's Elite Eight as a No. 15 seed, opted out. Fellow Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference members Iona and Manhattan also did not opt in. Similarly, UMBC and Fairleigh Dickinson, the only two men's basketball teams to achieve a 16-over-1 tournament upset, opted out. The entire Northeast Conference (FDU's league), except for Long Island University, opted out. Multiple reasons were cited for opting out. Idaho's athletic director explicitly stated the high cost was prohibitive, leading Idaho and several other Big Sky Conference schools to decline. Additional concerns include Title IX implications, scholarship limitations, and roster restrictions, with Central Arkansas' athletic director highlighting roster limits as a primary factor in their decision. Despite the opt-outs, participation is widespread. All Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) leagues have full participation, except the military academies (Navy, Air Force, Army), which are prevented by military rules from compensating athletes via NIL. Furthermore, several other conferences saw all their full members opt in, including the Atlantic 10, Big East, Coastal Athletic, Horizon, Missouri Valley, Southwestern Athletic, Western Athletic, and West Coast. The Big West had full participation except for Cal Poly and UC Davis, whose football teams play in the Big Sky.

New England Revolution's Carles Gil added to 2025 MLS All-Star roster
New England Revolution captain Carles Gil has been selected for the 2025 MLS All-Star Game by Head Coach Nico Estévez. The midfielder, leading the Revolution with 8 goals and 7 assists through 21 matches, earns his fourth career All-Star selection. This ties him for the third-most All-Star appearances in Revolution club history. This marks Gil's fourth All-Star selection in the last five seasons. He joins Shalrie Joseph (8), Taylor Twellman (5), and Matt Reis (4) as the only Revolution players to earn four selections. Gil is a two-time MLS Best XI member and has won the Landon Donovan MLS MVP Award, four Revolution Team MVP Awards, MLS Newcomer of the Year, and MLS Comeback Player of the Year. This season, Gil has started all 21 regular-season games, leading the team with 15 goal contributions (8 goals, 7 assists), including four game-winning goals, and has earned six MLS Team of the Matchday selections. In 2025, he became the Revolution's all-time leader in MLS assists (80), while his 47 regular-season goals rank fourth in club history. He needs just three more goal contributions to surpass Taylor Twellman's club record of 129. Since the start of 2019, Gil leads all MLS players with 85 assists, including MLS Cup Playoffs. The 2025 MLS All-Star Game and MLS All-Star Skills Challenge presented by AT&T will be held at Q2 Stadium and broadcast globally in English, Spanish, and French on MLS Season Pass via the Apple TV app in over 100 countries and regions. The Revolution continue their MLS regular season with two matches this week: away at the New York Red Bulls on Wednesday, July 16 (7:30 p.m. ET on MLS Season Pass and 98.5 The Sports Hub), and home against Orlando City SC at Gillette Stadium on Saturday, July 19 (7:30 p.m. ET on MLS Season Pass, 98.5 The Sports Hub, Más Latino 99.9 FM & 1300 AM (Spanish), and 1260 AM Nossa Radio USA (Portuguese)).

Talking tactics: How Javier Mascherano's subtle tweaks unleashed Leo Messi on MLS, with the Argentine superstar scoring five consecutive doubles for Inter Miami
Contrary to expectations of a collapse following their heavy 4-0 loss to PSG in the Club World Cup round of 16, Inter Miami has rebounded strongly. Despite appearing exhausted and picking up injuries during the CWC, which highlighted MLS's struggles internationally, the narrative of an impending difficult period disintegrated within two weeks. Instead of collapsing, Miami has performed excellently, reinvigorated by becoming the first MLS club to beat a European team in competitive competition. Lionel Messi has been central to this resurgence, scoring twice in each of his last five league appearances, tying an MLS record for consecutive multi-goal games. He has the opportunity to break the record by scoring twice in the next match against Cincinnati. Beyond Messi, Miami has improved as a whole team, becoming better balanced, more structured, and defensively steadier. This overall strength, combined with Messi's form, makes them difficult to beat. Manager Javier Mascherano is credited for implementing tactical tweaks that have successfully prevented a post-Club World Cup hangover.

Rams' Puka Nacua feels like 'kid in the candy store' getting to learn from Davante Adams
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua expressed enthusiasm about improving alongside new teammate Davante Adams, following the team's offseason receiver changes. The Rams signed Adams in March three days before releasing Cooper Kupp, who joined the rival Seattle Seahawks, reshaping their passing unit to boost an offense that ranked 20th in scoring last season. Nacua, 24, described learning from Adams as feeling "like a kid in a candy store," noting his fortune in having mentors including Matthew Stafford, Sean McVay, and Kupp. He highlighted Adams' immediate positive impact since arriving at the facility and expressed excitement about playing alongside him alongside returning speedster Tutu Atwell and young receivers. Adams joins after a 2024 season split between the Jets and Raiders where he surpassed 1,000 receiving yards for the fifth consecutive year (with 85 catches and 8 touchdowns). Despite Nacua nearly matching Adams' production during his own breakout rookie season (105 catches, 1,486 yards), he emphasized wanting to study Adams' elite route-running techniques—specifically his pace variation, leverage wins, and suddenness at the line of scrimmage. The Rams envision Adams and Nacua as co-leaders ("1A and 1B") in their receiving corps, supported by Atwell, Jordan Whittington, Britain Covey, and rookie Konata Mumpfield. Their synergy will be crucial as Los Angeles aims to build on last season's NFC Divisional Round appearance. Nacua particularly anticipates seeing Stafford throw at training camp, which begins July 22, stating: "As soon as that first practice comes out... things will be well in the world."

🎥 The top 5️⃣ goals from the MLS weekend
Major League Soccer featured numerous highlight-worthy goals during Matchday 24. Anders Dreyer scored a beautifully constructed team goal for San Diego in their second goal against the Chicago Fire, marking his second of the match and 11th of the season overall. Charlotte forward Kerwin Vargas secured three points against NYCFC with a well-executed volley, recovering from an initial awkward touch to set himself up for the strike. Martín Ojeda delivered a precisely practiced low free-kick that split the player wall and nestled near the near post, enhancing its impressive quality. The Hell is Real derby between the Crew and Cincinnati culminated in a six-goal showdown, with the Crew winning; however, Cincinnati's Evander scored an unforgettable, powerful strike that stood out regardless of the result.

Sources: MLS, players reached new Club World Cup bonus agreement
Major League Soccer (MLS) and the MLS Players Association (MLSPA) agreed during the Club World Cup to restructure player bonus compensation for the tournament. MLS committed to paying players a minimum 40% increase over the $1 million maximum originally stipulated in the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). Additionally, players will receive 30% of all Club World Cup performance prize money without any cap. LAFC also received a separate $250,000 bonus for winning the play-in match that secured their tournament spot after Club León's expulsion. The agreement was finalized on June 27th, shortly before Inter Miami's knockout stage game. MLS characterized the deal as providing "meaningful enhancements" and "substantial value" beyond CBA requirements, calling it the "most lucrative bonus package in the tournament." The need for renegotiation arose because the current CBA's $1 million bonus cap was set before the tournament's expanded format and unprecedented prize pool ($9.55 million participation fee plus performance bonuses for Concacaf teams) existed. Negotiations were prolonged and contentious, extending into the tournament itself, with both sides expressing frustration. The MLSPA stated that players were "deeply disappointed" with the league's tactics, citing "stonewalling, threats and retaliation," and warned this approach would not work in future major negotiations, including upcoming CBA talks set to expire in 2028. The bonus dispute became public when Seattle Sounders players wore "Club World Cash Grab" shirts during warm-ups. Despite losing all three of their games, Sounders players collectively earned $1.4 million in bonuses. LAFC earned one point in the group stage, resulting in $1.8 million in bonuses ($1.25M participation, $250K qualifying, $300K draw). Inter Miami was the most successful MLS team, winning a game and advancing to the knockout stage, earning their players $4.7 million ($1.25M participation, $1.2M group stage results, $2.25M knockout stage). MLS also permitted team owners to convert up to $750,000 of their Club World Cup payouts into allocation money for roster budgets, an option all three participating teams utilized fully.

Forgotten wide receiver could steal Jauan Jennings’ spot if 49ers drama drags on
Malik Knowles, an undrafted wide receiver from Kansas State, signed a one-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers in June 2024. Despite previous stints with the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers' practice squad, the 6-foot-2, 196-pound receiver has yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game. Knowles may benefit from uncertainty at the back end of the 49ers' receiver depth chart, particularly due to veteran Jauan Jennings' contract demands and trade request. Jennings is expected to attend training camp but might stage a "hold-in," refusing on-field drills to avoid fines. This situation effectively moves every receiver below Jennings up on the depth chart, including Knowles. While Knowles, who had a collegiate best of 725 yards in 2022 and offers value as a return specialist, lacks the physicality and blocking ability of Jennings, the circumstances present him with a significant opportunity. The increased visibility during camp allows him a platform to showcase his skills and intangible qualities to the 49ers' coaching staff. This situation, though a long shot, could improve Knowles' chances of earning a spot on the 49ers' 53-man roster if he can capitalize on the opportunity and impress during training camp.

What impact will George Pickens have on the Dallas Cowboys offense?
The Dallas Cowboys, lacking consistent passing threats beyond CeeDee Lamb in 2024, explored receiver prospects in the NFL draft. When unsuccessful, they turned to the trade market, acquiring George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers to become their legitimate starting receiver opposite Lamb. A key question arose regarding expectations for Pickens as he transitions from being the WR1 in Pittsburgh to the WR2 role in Dallas. Staff writers at DallasCowboys.com expressed high expectations for Pickens, with six predicting significant contributions. Tommy Yarrish specifically forecasted Pickens making his first Pro Bowl appearance in the Cowboys' offense, believing he will mesh well with Lamb to elevate the passing game and provide a better vertical threat. Mickey Spagnola viewed Pickens as potentially serving as "a co-No. 1 receiver." Kyle Youmans added that Pickens would be motivated by his expiring contract. He emphasized that while Pickens is clearly the No. 2 behind Lamb, he possesses the capability to take over a game if needed – a crucial factor for Dallas during their receiver search. Youmans stated the expectation is that Pickens could deliver a 150-yard performance if Lamb were shut down or unavailable, an ability other considered options lacked. While quantifying expectations is difficult, the writers agree the primary goal is for Pickens to alleviate pressure on Lamb, and they anticipate he will successfully fulfill this role.

Green Bay Packers Linked to Big Reunion Before Entering 2025 Season
The Green Bay Packers enter the 2025 NFL season as a team to watch, aiming to prove they are legitimate contenders after making the playoffs in both seasons since Aaron Rodgers' departure, despite falling short in the playoffs both times. Jordan Love leads the team into his third season as starting quarterback, supported by an elite offense. Defensively, the Packers have potential under second-year coordinator Jeff Hafley, but questions remain about their secondary. Analyst Matt Holder suggests the Packers are a top landing spot for veteran free agent cornerback Rasul Douglas to address the secondary concerns. Holder argues Douglas, who had a successful stint with Green Bay a few years ago and is well-liked by fans, would make sense. He notes that after trading Jaire Alexander, the Packers plan to start Nate Hobbs and Keisean Nixon at outside cornerback, but both are considered better at nickelback; adding Douglas could allow one to move back inside. Douglas' production declined slightly with the Buffalo Bills in 2024 (58 tackles, 1 FF, 5 PD in 15 games) compared to his strong 2023 season split between Green Bay and Buffalo (61 tackles, 1 sack, 3 FR, 5 INTs, 1 TD, 14 PD). A reunion with Douglas is presented as a logical option for the Packers to shore up their defensive backfield, though the team's interest remains unknown.

Raiders news: Jack Bech contract holdup continues
The NFL faces a league-wide issue with unsigned second-round draft picks from the April draft, affecting 30 players. This problem stems from disputes over guaranteed money, triggered after the Houston Texans (Jayden Higgins) and Cleveland Browns (Carson Schwesinger) fully guaranteed contracts for their second-round selections, setting a precedent other players now demand. This stalemate impacts the Las Vegas Raiders and their unsigned second-round pick, Jack Bech (No. 58 overall from TCU). While the Raiders' rookies report to training camp this week, with the first full-squad practice scheduled for July 23, Bech remains without a contract. This creates urgency as Bech, who has a chance to be a Week 1 starter, needs maximum training camp time. The situation is widespread, involving nearly all teams and multiple players, creating mutual interest in finding a resolution. Notably, all 10 of the Raiders' other draft picks have already signed their contracts.

Former Manchester United midfielder Maxi Oyedele to join Ligue 1 side
Manchester United are set to receive approximately £2.1 million from the transfer of former midfielder Maxi Oyedele. This follows their earlier earnings of over £10 million this summer from sell-on clauses in previous player departures, including £6 million from Anthony Elanga's move to Newcastle United and £7.6 million from Álvaro Carreras' return to Real Madrid. The 20-year-old Oyedele, who joined Legia Warsaw in summer 2024 and is recognized for his tenacity and ball-winning skills, is moving to RC Strasbourg Alsace. The Ligue 1 club, affiliated with Chelsea, has triggered his €6 million release clause to secure his transfer from the Polish Ekstraklasa side. These financial gains come as United operate with a restricted summer transfer budget after missing European qualification. Despite publicly excluding forwards Marcus Rashford, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, and Jadon Sancho from first-team training at Carrington, the club has yet to sell any fringe players to fund manager Ruben Amorim's squad overhaul.

Breece Hall Pokes Fun at Justin Fields After Jets QB Shares Vacation Photos Before Training Camp
Justin Fields has officially joined the New York Jets, signing a two-year, $40 million contract with $30 million guaranteed, marking his first time in New York as their quarterback. The Jets expressed strong confidence in him following his impressive performances during several starts for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024. Fields, entering his fifth NFL season at age 26 and now on his third team in three years, will have the opportunity to be the full-time starter in New York. He will be paired with running back Breece Hall, who is entering his fourth season with the Jets after consecutive quality years, including an eight-touchdown season in 2024 with Aaron Rodgers. Fields and Hall showcased their rapport on social media. Fields posted a photo captioned, "Some places don’t just change your view, they change your mind.." Hall jokingly commented, "Can you stop taking pics and Hand the ball off please," prompting Fields to reply, "You know I’m pulling it every time," hinting at the option offense New York might employ in 2025. Fields brings significant rushing ability, having surpassed 1,000 yards on the ground in 2022. Hall nearly reached that mark in 2023 (falling six yards short) but saw his 2024 yards dip to 876, partly due to the emergence of rookie Braelon Allen (334 yards). Fields' dynamic style promises to drastically alter the Jets' offense compared to 2024 under Rodgers. Fields demonstrated potential in 2024, going 4-2 as a starter. His two losses were by a combined six points, and he didn't throw an interception in those games, though he was sacked seven times. The Jets, who haven't made the playoffs since 2010 or had a winning season since 2015, haven't won more than eight games in a season during the 17-game era. While avoiding the division cellar since 2022, Fields and Hall aim to lead the team to success and end the franchise's prolonged struggles.

Ranking the 5 greatest transfer signings in Arsenal history
Arsenal's ability to contend for the Premier League title next season hinges on signing a new striker, with Viktor Gyökeres heavily linked, though negotiations with Sporting Lisbon are currently deadlocked. Historically strong recruitment under Arsène Wenger yielded three league titles, but finances were strained after the 2006 Emirates Stadium move, leading to a title drought and key player sales. Despite a recent resurgence under Mikel Arteta, he faces pressure to deliver the league title, making strategic recruitment critical. The club's five greatest signings include Sol Campbell, who controversially joined from rivals Tottenham. The defender won two Premier League titles and reached the Champions League final with Arsenal before later managerial struggles. David Seaman joined from QPR and became a legendary goalkeeper, making 563 appearances. His era featured a formidable defense that secured two league titles and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, Arsenal's last European trophy. Patrick Vieira anchored midfield during three title-winning campaigns, known for his rivalry with Roy Keane. Post-Arsenal, he played in Italy and England before managing Crystal Palace and currently Genoa. Dennis Bergkamp, nicknamed the "Non-Flying Dutchman" for his fear of flying, contributed 120 goals and 116 assists in 422 games. Despite missing European away matches, his technical brilliance left an indelible mark. He now coaches in Ajax's youth system. Thierry Henry arrived from Juventus and became Arsenal's record scorer with 228 goals, winning two league titles before joining Barcelona. He later returned for a loan spell from the New York Red Bulls.

Lionel Messi backed to complete Newell's Old Boys homecoming transfer by Argentine FA president amid Inter Miami contract uncertainty
Lionel Messi's contract with Inter Miami is set to expire after the 2025 MLS season, though he holds an option to extend it for an additional 12 months, which would cover the next World Cup. While Inter Miami hopes to secure a new deal, speculation surrounds Messi's future, including potential moves to the Saudi Pro League where teams reportedly aim to reunite him with Cristiano Ronaldo. Another possibility is a return to his boyhood club, Newell's Old Boys in Argentina. Messi has previously expressed a desire to play competitively for Newell's before retiring. This path mirrors that of his friend Angel Di Maria, who recently returned to his first club, Rosario Central, at age 37. Claudio Tapia, president of the Argentine FA, expressed hope for Messi's eventual return to Argentina when questioned about it during Di Maria's presentation. Adding to this, Newell's manager Cristian Fabbiani has stated his interest in bringing Messi back on a short-term contract. Despite the speculation, Messi himself has given little indication about his long-term plans. He is currently in exceptional form for Inter Miami, having scored two goals in each of his last five consecutive MLS matches.

Morgan Gibbs-White holds further talks with Nottingham Forest amid dispute over planned £60m move to Tottenham, but does train with his team-mates as Premier League weighs up investigation
Morgan Gibbs-White has resumed training with Nottingham Forest and engaged in further discussions with club management amidst an ongoing dispute over his failed transfer to Tottenham Hotspur. The proposed £60 million move to Spurs collapsed last week after Forest reported Tottenham to the Premier League for an alleged illegal approach, accusing them of tapping up the player by making unauthorized contact. Gibbs-White, who had been granted extended leave following his participation with England in June, returned to Forest's training ground on Monday; Spurs are thought to have activated his release clause, but Forest contend the approach violated regulations. In response, Forest have formally instructed Tottenham to cease all communication with Gibbs-White and have submitted written complaints to both Spurs and the Premier League, escalating the conflict. Premier League officials are now expected to consider an investigation, and if Tottenham are found guilty of misconduct, potential penalties include a substantial fine or a transfer ban.

Recent Vlahovic contact with Milan keeps hope alive
AC Milan have recently made contact with striker Dusan Vlahovic, driven by manager Max Allegri's desire to reunite with the player after their time together at Juventus. Milan continues to pursue this move despite existing obstacles. Vlahovic's contract with Juventus expires in June 2026, and a contract renewal in Turin appears improbable. Consequently, a sale this summer is highly likely, with Juventus potentially allowing him to leave for a relatively affordable transfer fee of €20 million. However, the low transfer fee is offset by Vlahovic's substantial salary demands; he would bring an expensive wage of €12 million per season from Juventus. Despite this financial hurdle, the relationship between Vlahovic and Allegri remains strong following the initial contact revealed on June 7th, with further recent communication taking place. Maintaining Milan's position in the race for Vlahovic is becoming increasingly important as the weeks pass. Allegri was instrumental in bringing the Serbian striker to Juventus from Fiorentina originally. Therefore, while acknowledging a long road ahead with many obstacles, Milan remains alert and attentive to the possibility of signing Vlahovic.

Joao Pedro says PSG ‘lost their heads’ in brawl after Club World Cup final
Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the Club World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in New York. PSG, the Champions League winners and strong favorites, suffered a shock loss. Tempers flared towards the end of the match. PSG finished with 10 men after João Neves was sent off for pulling the hair of Chelsea's Marc Cucurella. Further scuffles broke out after the final whistle, involving personnel from both benches. The most notable incident involved Chelsea forward João Pedro and PSG coach Luis Enrique. Pedro ended up on the ground following an altercation with Enrique. Pedro stated that PSG "lost their heads" due to frustration over the defeat but declined to elaborate further, preferring to focus on Chelsea's victory. Conversely, Enrique claimed he was attempting to separate players and prevent the situation from escalating. The confrontation reportedly involved Pedro, PSG players Gianluigi Donnarumma and Achraf Hakimi before Enrique intervened. During the melee, Enrique appeared to raise an arm, and Pedro fell to the ground.

L’Equipe: Campos considering Leao and Osimhen as PSG hope to ‘regenerate’
Following their loss in the Club World Cup final, PSG is seeking to regenerate their squad. Despite winning the Champions League and reaching that final, which brought significant wealth, the heavy defeat has prompted this reassessment. A report from L'Equipe highlights a perceived lack of depth within the PSG squad, an issue potentially exacerbated by the team playing 65 games this season with minimal breaks. To address this, sporting advisor Luis Campos has reportedly initiated contact with the representatives of AC Milan forward Rafael Leao and Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. Both players have frequently been linked with moves to France, and PSG is realistically one of the few clubs capable of affording such high-profile transfers. However, AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri has consistently denied any possibility of Leao leaving, a stance unlikely to change imminently. The report suggests that only an exceptionally large ("silly") offer could potentially make Milan consider a sale.

Steelers Set To Face Five Of NFL’s 10 Best Quarterbacks From ESPN’s Position Rankings
The Pittsburgh Steelers' 2025 schedule presents a significant challenge primarily due to the number of elite quarterbacks they will face. Based on ESPN.com's anonymous survey of executives, scouts, and coaches ranking NFL quarterbacks, the Steelers are scheduled to play against five of the top 10 quarterbacks on that list. This includes two games each against Baltimore Ravens' Lamar Jackson (ranked No. 4) and Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow (ranked No. 3), both within AFC North play (Ravens: Weeks 14 & 18; Bengals: Weeks 7 & 11). They will also face single matchups against Detroit Lions' Jared Goff (No. 8) in Week 16 at Ford Field, Los Angeles Chargers' Justin Herbert (No. 7) in Week 10 on the road, and Buffalo Bills' Josh Allen (No. 2) in Week 13 at Acrisure Stadium. In total, this amounts to seven games against these top-tier quarterbacks. Historically, the Steelers have struggled against these quarterbacks. They hold a 1-3 record against Josh Allen (including playoffs), with Allen accumulating 1,071 passing yards, 8 TDs, 3 INTs, plus 142 rushing yards and a TD in those games. Against Justin Herbert, they are 1-1; Herbert left their last meeting early due to injury. Jared Goff is 0-1-1 against Pittsburgh, including a tie in 2021. Notably, Goff is coming off a strong 2024 season (4,629 yards, 37 TDs), helping elevate the Lions to contender status. An AFC executive described Herbert as a consistently "top-5-8 QB" who is accurate, athletic, and a sound decision-maker, suggesting he is underrated. Allen is highlighted as a unique challenge due to his blend of size, strength, mobility, and powerful arm. While the Steelers have bolstered their defense with additions like Jalen Ramsey, Darius Slay, and rookie Derrick Harmon, and hired new secondary coach Gerald Alexander, facing these elite quarterbacks remains a major hurdle. The rebuilt secondary may be vulnerable early in the season as communication issues are addressed.
