TOPScrapping rebounds from penalties being considered
Football lawmakers are considering radical proposals to eliminate penalty kick rebounds and expand VAR usage to cover corner decisions and second yellow cards. These ideas will be discussed at the next International Football Association Board (Ifab) meeting in March. The most significant proposal would prevent penalty-takers and teammates from scoring on rebounds after goalkeeper saves. This change would have nullified goals like Harry Kane's rebound goal against Denmark in Euro 2020. Proponents argue teams already have sufficient advantage with penalties, and this would eliminate encroachment issues. Ifab recently updated penalty rules following controversy during a Champions League match, clarifying that accidental double touches now result in retakes rather than disallowed goals. While support for further changes remains uncertain, any approved proposals could take effect by next summer's World Cup. VAR expansion would allow overturning incorrectly awarded corners when the ball touches an attacking player last. Second yellow card interventions are considered more contentious due to their subjective nature, though Ifab generally favors VAR for clear objective situations. Rule changes require approval from six of Ifab's eight voting members: FIFA holds four votes while the four British football associations each hold one vote.

TOPLay’s Just Launched a Wild New Flavor With Messi
Lionel Messi is partnering with Lay's to launch a new Argentine-Style Steak flavored potato chip. The new flavor was revealed by influencer Snach with Zach (@snachwithzach), who announced the chips would be available exclusively at 7-Eleven and Speedway stores in the coming weeks.

Tina Mahal, SVP of marketing at Frito-Lay, emphasized the synergy between Lay's and soccer, stating the brand uniquely turned the iconic chant into a song about Lay's. Messi previously collaborated on limited-edition products like the Greatest-Of-All-Time Cheese Flavor Series in 2022, expressing excitement about reaching fans. Earlier this year, Messi participated in Year Three of Lay's 'No Lay’s, No Game' campaign, surprising fans at Miami bars with fellow soccer player Luis Suárez. Messi described the experience as special, highlighting Miami's soccer culture and praising Lay's for enhancing the soccer viewing experience.

Man United legend claims Rashford 'does not deserve' Barcelona move
Former Manchester United player Teddy Sheringham has strongly criticized Marcus Rashford's public desire to leave the club, stating the forward does not deserve a "dream move" to Barcelona. Sheringham expressed that moving to Barcelona would represent an undeserved "step up" for Rashford, arguing that playing for Manchester United is a privilege that should not be discarded lightly. Rashford, whose preferred destination is reportedly Barcelona, has been in talks with the Catalan club. His situation at Manchester United has deteriorated significantly; he spent the latter part of last season on loan at Aston Villa after expressing readiness for a "new challenge" in December. Recently, he lost his No.10 shirt to new signing Matheus Cunha and is training away from the first-team squad with other players expected to leave. Sheringham described Rashford's stance as "very soul-destroying," comparing it unfavourably to his own generation's appreciation for playing at a top club. He referenced Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's similar situation at Arsenal and stated he hopes Rashford does not get the move he wants. Rashford is one of five players, including Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Tyrell Malacia, excluded from manager Ruben Amorim's pre-season preparations so far.

Angel City's King on recovery: 'Better than ever'
Angel City FC defender Savy King publicly credited her team's medical staff with saving her life after she collapsed without contact during an NWSL home game against Utah Royals FC at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on May 9. King, 20, received over 10 minutes of on-field treatment, including chest compressions and the use of an AED, before being transported to the hospital. At the hospital, doctors discovered King had a congenital heart abnormality, an anomalous left coronary artery. She underwent surgery a few days later, where doctors created a new pathway for blood flow to the artery. King stated she had no prior history of heart issues. Despite having no timetable for her return to play, King expressed deep gratitude to the medical staff during an interview with Good Morning America, saying "They saved my life... I play for them, too, now." She is expected to make a full recovery and anticipates returning to soccer "better than ever," calling herself "Savy 2.0". The decision to continue the May 9th match after King's collapse drew criticism from fans and the NWSL Players Association (NWSLPA). A week later, the NWSL admitted the game should have been stopped and stated that "in any similar situation going forward the game should and would be abandoned." The NWSLPA called this admission and future policy change "a meaningful step forward." The NWSL regular season resumes on August 1st, with Angel City FC scheduled to play Seattle Reign FC.

Sources: NWSL's Denver close to hiring Cushing
Denver's 2026 NWSL expansion team is nearing an agreement to appoint Nick Cushing as its inaugural head coach, according to multiple sources. Cushing previously managed Manchester City Women and Major League Soccer's New York City FC. The coach brings extensive experience from City Football Group, having joined its academy in 2006. His recent role included serving as interim manager for Manchester City Women starting March 2024 after Gareth Taylor's dismissal. Earlier, he led Manchester City Women from 2013-2020, securing the 2016 league title and 2017 FA Women's Cup. Cushing transitioned to NYCFC in 2020 as an assistant coach, contributing to their 2021 MLS Cup victory. He became interim head coach mid-2022 before earning the permanent position later that year. Under his full-time leadership in 2023-2024, NYCFC missed playoffs in 2023 and placed sixth in the Eastern Conference in 2024. Denver GM Curt Johnson emphasized prioritizing both coaching quality and availability. The unnamed Denver franchise and Boston Legacy FC will join NWSL next season, expanding the league to 16 teams. Boston previously named Filipa Patão as its first head coach.

Dolphins make a brutal QB cut in latest 53-man roster prediction
The Miami Dolphins have entered training camp with roster decisions looming, needing to finalize their 53-man roster by the first week of September in a single cut-down period. Rookies are present, but not all, including seventh-round pick Quinn Ewers, are guaranteed spots. The quarterback position might see only two players kept: Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson. Rookie Quinn Ewers, despite being drafted, faces uncertainty. If he doesn't impress sufficiently in camp to attract waiver claims, the Dolphins may attempt to place him on the practice squad. At running back, the Dolphins are expected to carry five players: De'Von Achane, Jaylen Wright, Ollie Gordon, Alexander Mattison, and fullback Alec Ingold. Speculation about Mattison being cut after Gordon's drafting is countered by the team's recognized need for depth, making him likely to stay. The wide receiver group projects five spots: Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, and Dee Eskridge. Erik Ezukanma faces a challenge to retain the WR5 position, while rookie Malik Washington has a significant opportunity after missing last season. The team may add another veteran receiver during camp. Tight end depth changed significantly with Jonnu Smith departing via trade and Darren Waller coming out of retirement to join Pharaoh Brown. Three spots are projected: Brown, Waller, and Julian Hill. Competition is expected for the spots behind Brown and Waller, and while Hill has an advantage for the third spot, it's not guaranteed. The team ideally wants four tight ends but lacks depth elsewhere. The offensive line may consist of eight players initially: Austin Jackson, Jonah Savaiinaea, Aaron Brewer, James Daniels, Patrick Paul, Jackson Carman, Larry Borom, and Liam Eichenberg. Keeping more linemen (like Andrew Meyer) is possible if the roster expands to 10, but with only 8 or 9 spots, the final position might be between Eichenberg and Kion Smith. Depth concerns at other positions and practice squad flexibility influence these decisions. Defensive tackles listed include Zach Sieler, Kenneth Grant, Jordan Phillips, Benito Jones, and Ben Stille. (Note: The original text ends abruptly at DT).

Dominic Solanke reacts as Everton contract officially signed
Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke, signed from Bournemouth last summer for a significant fee, has yet to consistently showcase his best form for the club, partly due to injury issues. There is hope that new head coach Thomas Frank can help Solanke kickstart his Spurs career in the upcoming season. Tottenham is actively looking to strengthen its forward line this summer, evidenced by the £55 million signing of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham, with other potential targets like Morgan Gibbs-White being considered before the transfer window closes. Chairman Daniel Levy is showing backing for Frank through these signings. Solanke appears receptive to this influx of attacking talent, which could benefit him. However, he maintains strong links to his former Bournemouth teammates, as shown by him liking an Instagram post from Mark Travers after Travers signed for Everton from Bournemouth. While Solanke showed flashes of excellence in his debut Spurs season, fans and the club expect more. The club hopes he can replicate his impressive final Bournemouth season (21 goals, 4 assists in all competitions) while wearing Tottenham white, especially if further quality attacking players join the squad.

Arch Manning shares where his relationship with Quinn Ewers stands
Arch Manning spent his freshman season at the University of Texas as the backup quarterback to starter Quinn Ewers. Ewers led the team to a College Football Playoff appearance in 2024, passing for 3,472 yards, 31 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. Manning saw limited playing time, starting only three games against UTSA, Louisiana-Monroe, and Mississippi State when Ewers was injured, and appeared in 10 total games, passing for 939 yards, nine touchdowns, and two interceptions on 90 attempts. Speaking at SEC Media Days, Manning discussed his relationship with Ewers, who was later drafted by the Miami Dolphins with the 231st pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Manning expressed deep gratitude, stating, "I learned so much from Quinn in my two years behind him... He handled it like a pro... always been nice and good to me." He revealed he recently texted Ewers for advice on two-minute drills. Manning acknowledged the challenge of being a highly touted backup, saying he gained teammates' respect by not being "a turd" despite the difficulty of sitting. Ewers, who transferred from Ohio State and led Texas to a 33-10 record with two Playoff appearances, also spoke positively about Manning. Speaking at the NFLPA Rookie Premiere, Ewers called Manning "great" and "a good kid," adding, "He was definitely fun to have in the quarterback room. We’re good buddies." He praised Manning's work ethic and study habits, expressing excitement for his future: "I’m super excited to see what he does... He’s going to set himself up to be as successful as he wants to be... continue on living out what we built at Texas." Despite his limited starts, Manning is considered primed for a potential Heisman-caliber season in 2025.

It offers real-time rankings across platforms, research and analysis articles, draft strategy content, livestreams, and premium analysis designed to help users succeed. This product provides comprehensive coverage for best ball leagues leading up to Week 1 of the NFL season.

These players are deemed league-deciding talents worthy of first-half selections in the first round of fantasy drafts. Gibbs is highlighted as inevitably overcoming teammate David Montgomery, drawing parallels to historical RB tandems. Robinson is noted for averaging 21.5 touches per game in his rookie season under OC Zac Robinson, with the Falcons projected to be involved in high-scoring games. A key differentiator is that both Gibbs and Robinson are five years younger than Barkley, who accumulated an "untenable" 482 total touches including playoffs last season.

Manchester City exit date anticipated for Kalvin Phillips as permanent transfer looms
Kalvin Phillips' permanent departure from Manchester City is delayed until he recovers from an Achilles injury sustained during surgery at the end of May, with his return not expected until August. His exit, however, is considered a near certainty in the coming weeks. Phillips has struggled to establish himself at City since joining from Leeds United in 2022, failing to secure consistent playing time amid strong competition, notably from Rodri, compounded by injuries and form issues. Loan spells at West Ham United in the latter part of the 2023/24 season and more recently at Ipswich Town failed to reignite his best form or suggest a future at City. With Manchester City's squad evolving and new midfield additions arriving this summer, Phillips' pathway to the first team has further narrowed. The player himself is understood to be pushing for a permanent move away, and the club will not stand in his way following his underwhelming loan spells. Several Premier League clubs, particularly those lower down the table or newly promoted, are expected to be interested, valuing his experience, ball-winning ability, leadership, and proven quality from his time at Leeds. For Manchester City, a permanent sale would represent a clean break, facilitate squad adjustment by opening opportunities for emerging talents, and clear significant salary space.

Former NFL GM Thinks Jalen Hurts, Jordan Love Could Have Better Career Than Ben Roethlisberger
Former NFL GM Mike Tannenbaum sparked debate on ESPN's First Take by claiming he wouldn't select Ben Roethlisberger's career over current quarterbacks Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Jalen Hurts, and Jordan Love in a hypothetical draft. Despite Roethlisberger's two Super Bowl rings and first-ballot Hall of Fame credentials, Tannenbaum asserted that the 2004 draft class was "top heavy" and stated, "I'm not sure I'm taking Ben over any of those guys." He notably preferred Eli Manning from Roethlisberger's own draft class, contrary to consensus rankings. Tannenbaum faced pushback from analyst Peter Schrager and the article itself, which highlighted Roethlisberger's superior achievements: a top-five peak, longevity, and playoff success unmatched by the current group (only Hurts has a ring, while Herbert/Love have minimal postseason experience). The article disputed Tannenbaum's claim that Burrow could surpass Roethlisberger, noting Burrow's statistical advantages stem from era/scheme differences but emphasizing his deficit in championships and wins compared to Roethlisberger's transformative impact in turning the Steelers into immediate contenders. The piece also contextualized Tannenbaum's take as part of a pattern of inaccurate Roethlisberger critiques, recalling his failed 2021 benching prediction and erroneous 2020 ranking of Roethlisberger as the AFC North's worst QB. It concluded that Tannenbaum's latest hot take overlooks Roethlisberger's legacy and carries little weight given his history of dismissive assessments.

Bay FC acquires California native, ex-Stanford commit, from Barcelona FC
Bay FC has acquired 19-year-old forward Onyeka Gamero from Spanish club FC Barcelona for an undisclosed transfer fee. The transfer is pending receipt of her international transfer clearance. Gamero, a native of Cerritos, California, has signed with the NWSL club through the 2028 season. Gamero expressed excitement about joining Bay FC, stating it's the perfect place for her development and that she's ready to challenge herself and learn from the players and coaches. She committed to Stanford as a 17-year-old but instead signed with FC Barcelona B in 2023. She began her professional career there in June 2023, scoring two goals and providing one assist in nine matches before suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) that fall. Gamero has reported to Bay FC and will complete her ACL recovery locally. She is currently following return-to-play protocol while the team assesses the next steps in her rehabilitation. Gamero has represented the United States at youth international levels. She played at the 2022 U-17 World Cup and moved up to the U-20 team in 2023. At the CONCACAF women’s U-20 Championship, she contributed one goal and two assists in five games, helping the US qualify for the 2024 FIFA U-20 World Cup. She was also a nominee for the U.S. Soccer Young Player of the Year award in both 2022 and 2023. Bay FC coach Albertin Montoya praised Gamero as a "great young talent with enormous potential" who has only hinted at her abilities so far. He described her as a threat all over the pitch who will continue to improve with development.

NWSL and US Soccer’s lack of transgender policy targeted by conservative lobby groups
The National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) has confirmed that its 2021 policy on transgender athlete participation is no longer in effect and has not been since Commissioner Jessica Berman was hired in March 2022. The league currently operates with no policy on transgender players, despite widespread belief that the 2021 rules were still active. The 2021 policy allowed male-to-female transgender athletes to compete if they declared their gender identity as female and maintained testosterone levels "within typical limits of women athletes." It barred female-to-male transgender athletes undergoing testosterone therapy from competing. While no known transgender athletes currently play in the NWSL, past players include Canadian Olympian Quinn and Japan's Kumi Yokoyama, who criticized the policy. The NWSL did not explain why the policy lapsed or if a new one is planned. This development occurs alongside England's and Scotland's Football Associations banning transgender women from women's football following a UK Supreme Court ruling defining "woman" as biological sex. The United States Soccer Federation (USSF) also lacks a policy for national teams, citing no elite transgender players in their pool. For amateur players, USSF policy allows registration based on gender identity with supporting documentation. The absence of clear policies from major US soccer authorities exists within a contentious national climate. The US Supreme Court recently allowed Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care and will hear cases on transgender sports bans this fall. Advocacy organizations like Human Rights Campaign and Athlete Ally declined to comment, reflecting reduced public support. Lobby groups view this policy vacuum as an opportunity to push for bans, with a legal advisor noting "the tide is changing" in the US regarding transgender participation in sports.

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.

Josh Allen's ESPN ranking feels like a gut punch (but they got it right)
According to ESPN's latest NFL quarterback rankings compiled from executives, coaches, and scouts, Josh Allen is universally regarded as one of the league's elite quarterbacks, with the author strongly arguing he surpasses Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow despite some debate about Jackson. Allen, who signed a new six-year contract, aims to lead the Buffalo Bills to their first Super Bowl appearance and franchise Lombardi Trophy after a record-breaking 2024 season where he made significant history for both the team and the NFL. The primary obstacle highlighted for Allen is defeating the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs, as Buffalo has lost four of their last five postseason matchups against them. The author contends these losses stem from defensive failures rather than Allen's performance. While Bills fans consider Allen superior to Mahomes overall, Mahomes' championship success places him ahead in perception until Allen can overcome him in the playoffs. This dynamic is reflected in ESPN's 2025 rankings where Mahomes secured the top spot and Allen landed at No. 2. The author emphasizes that Allen's lack of Super Bowl experience shouldn't detract from his individual excellence, reiterating that playoff shortcomings are primarily due to defensive shortcomings against Mahomes' Chiefs. The piece concludes with fan optimism that Allen will eventually conquer Kansas City and deliver Buffalo's long-awaited Super Bowl victory.

‘I Like Challenges’—Giorgi Mamardashvili Ready For Alisson Battle
Giorgi Mamardashvili has completed his transfer from Valencia to Liverpool and made an unofficial debut in the team's first summer friendly against Preston North End. The 24-year-old goalkeeper, who was a starter at Valencia for two and a half seasons, now faces a new challenge competing with Alisson Becker, Liverpool's established No. 1 and one of the top goalkeepers of his generation. Mamardashvili expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity to work alongside Alisson, describing it as a valuable learning experience. He acknowledged that vying for a starting spot is a challenge but stated he is ready to give his best and help the team, aiming to contribute to Liverpool's rich goalkeeping legacy. He emphasized his eagerness to train with Alisson, whom he called "one of the best goalkeepers in the world right now," and to carve out his own chapter with the club. Despite Alisson's undisputed role, Mamardashvili could see significant playing time due to Alisson's recent injury issues, similar to how Caoimhín Kelleher (now with Brentford) benefited, playing 20 Premier League games across the 2023–24 and 2024–25 seasons. Mamardashvili's profile rose through his performances at Valencia and a standout role for Georgia in Euro 2024, where he helped the underdog team achieve a famous win over Portugal and reach the knockout stage in their first major tournament appearance. Following his Euro 2024 success, Mamardashvili earned a nomination for the 2024 Yashin Trophy, the goalkeeper award tied to the Ballon d'Or, finishing seventh in the final standings.

Dallas Cowboys Named Among NFL's Most Underrated Teams
The Dallas Cowboys, facing diminished expectations after a disappointing 7-10 season in 2024 where quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a season-ending injury in Week 9, are surprisingly viewed as an under-the-radar team heading into the 2025 NFL season. Despite Prescott's expected full recovery and offseason roster upgrades, external expectations outside the organization are reportedly low. However, analyst Mike Jones labeled the Cowboys as underrated, citing Prescott's healthy return as key to improving an offense that struggled without him. Jones suggested the pairing of new receiver George Pickens with holdovers CeeDee Lamb, Jalen Tolbert, and tight end Jake Ferguson could create a potent attack if Pickens matures, making a playoff push behind Philadelphia and contending with Washington plausible. The analysis argues the Cowboys should not be overlooked. Before his injury, Prescott was performing near an MVP level. With new head coach Brian Schottenheimer, Prescott is anticipated to return to the upper echelon of quarterbacks. While acknowledging some roster weaknesses, the piece concludes the Cowboys possess enough offensive firepower to compete significantly in the NFC. The team faces a challenge in the highly competitive NFC East division, but with a healthy Prescott and a dynamic new receiver duo, Dallas is positioned as a team requiring close attention in the upcoming season.

NFL Scout Analyzes One of the Raiders' Best Players
The Las Vegas Raiders require talent upgrades at several roster positions, though they possess top-tier talent elsewhere. An ESPN survey of NFL coaches, executives, scouts, and coordinators ranked the top 10 players at every position. Raiders offensive tackle Kolton Miller, while recognized as one of the better tackles, did not make the top 10 list for his position. Despite this omission, an NFL scout described Miller as a very critical player for the Raiders, stating he had a slow start last season due to a shoulder issue but improved, is very consistent, and sits just outside the top tier of players. Miller, who suffered an injury last season like many Raiders, is now back and prepared for the upcoming season. He feels healthier than last year, having had significantly more time to prepare ("a lot more ramp-up"), which he believes will lead to improved results for himself and the team. Following Organized Team Activities (OTAs), Miller expressed feeling "great" about his health, contrasting it with his limited preparation time last year. Miller, a long-time Raider through ups and downs, emphasized his focus on daily improvement and leadership. He expressed strong approval for the direction of the organization under new head coach Pete Carroll, praising Carroll's emphasis on competition and making everyone better, including younger players. Miller specifically highlighted his enthusiasm for the pieces added during the offseason, the team's energy, and Carroll's approach, calling this OTA period "one of the most productive" he's experienced. He described the team as "flying around" and stated he is "excited where we're headed."

Takeaways: 10 Things We’ll Talk About When NFL Training Camps Start
The Dallas Cowboys face potential contract negotiations with star player Micah Parsons. While Parsons has participated in offseason activities and maintained a positive relationship with new coach Brian Schottenheimer, unlike previous holdouts involving Ezekiel Elliott, Zack Martin, and CeeDee Lamb, complex negotiations remain. Parsons' new contract is expected to average over $40 million annually with significant guaranteed money exceeding $100 million. Whether this results in a holdout or a smoother resolution is uncertain. Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter, a unique two-way player drafted second overall, presents a challenge for coach Liam Coen regarding time allocation between offense and defense. The Jaguars plan to prioritize building his offensive foundation first, aligning with Coen's offensive background and GM James Gladstone's receiver-focused history. This approach contrasts with Hunter's college experience at Colorado, where he primarily focused on defense. Training camp will be crucial to understanding how Hunter's practice time is divided, offering insight into his regular-season role, as mastering NFL defense requires significant weekly preparation time. The Cleveland Browns face a demanding start to their season, with their first six games including five against 2023 playoff teams (Baltimore, Green Bay, Detroit, Minnesota, Pittsburgh) and an opener against the Cincinnati Bengals, a recent Super Bowl contender. This challenging early schedule raises questions about how the team will strategically deploy its quarterbacks.

Arsenal hero in awe of Celtic's Champions League campaign after hearing about the club's 'financial situation'
Brendan Rodgers returned to Celtic aiming to improve their Champions League performance after suffering heavy defeats during his first spell. To compete better against Europe's elite, he signed players like Kasper Schmeichel, Arne Engels, and Adam Idah. This strategy proved successful, as Celtic progressed beyond the group stage, held their own against Bayern Munich, and nearly defeated the German giants away. The club's achievements in Europe impressed Arsenal legend Ray Parlour, especially considering the vast financial disparity between Celtic and Premier League clubs. Parlour highlighted that even the bottom Premier League club earns around £110 million, while Celtic reportedly receives only about £3 million for winning the Scottish Premiership TV rights. He expressed awe at Celtic's European results given their limited financial resources compared to English top-flight teams. Celtic's 2025 pre-season schedule is underway, featuring wins against Queen's Park and Cork City, and a loss to Estrela da Amadora. Upcoming lucrative friendlies against Sporting Lisbon, Newcastle, Como, and either Ajax or Al Ahli are planned. Combining earnings from these matches and their new deal with Adidas, Celtic is projected to earn over £45 million from the kit partnership and the pre-season tour.

ESPN analysts debate whether Trevor Lawrence is facing make or break 2025 season
Trevor Lawrence entered the NFL with exceptional hype but has not yet developed into the elite quarterback many anticipated with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The team remains committed to him, undergoing significant changes including hiring offensive coordinator Liam Coen to elevate Lawrence's performance. ESPN analysts debated his future on "Get Up," questioning whether he can surpass his current average level. Dan Orlovsky highlighted Lawrence’s inconsistent QBR over three seasons and noted new factors like Coen’s arrival, standout rookie Brian Thomas Jr., and addition Travis Hunter. He emphasized Lawrence faces the most pressure of any AFC quarterback to improve consistency, leadership, and impact. Jeremy Fowler stated Lawrence is "not a bust" but isn’t progressing, citing organizational belief mixed with urgency due to Lawrence working under his third head coach in four to five years. Fowler acknowledged Jacksonville’s role in his struggles but stressed Lawrence must improve accuracy and week-to-week reliability. Damien Woody delivered a blunt assessment, calling 2025 a "now or never" season. He argued Lawrence’s high salary demands elite production, adding Coen was hired specifically to fix him. Woody concluded failure to deliver would make Lawrence a "bust."
