data-mm-id=”_6m2t65bx2″>It's NFL mock draft season, which is delightful because it presents the opportunity for impressively creative people to find new ways to slice, dice, and parcel out content. A tried-and-true method is to put a surprise name at the very top of the speculative listing because it will get the people buzzing. So fair play to CBS Sports' Chris Trapasso, who yesterday looked into a crystal ball and saw the Indianapolis Colts making a trade with the Chicago Bears to move up to No. 1 and select … Anthony Richardson.Trapasso writes: "I think Richardson is going to emphatically remove the lid from Lucas Oil Stadium at the NFL combine. That will lead to the Colts taking a chance on him, given the hiring of former Eagles Shane Steichen as head coach. Richar…

data-mm-id=”_b68yuus6x”>Mike Greenberg unexpectedly became the target of an angry rant during Tuesday's edition of Toucher and Rich show on Boston sports radio. Greenberg ended up in the crosshairs thanks to an interview he did a month ago with Molly Fletcher as part of her Game Changers series on YouTube. In that interview Greenberg mentioned the importance of writing teasers in television before commercial breaks in order to keep the viewers hooked. This was apparently enough to set off Toucher, who called Greenberg a "talentless prick" before going on to slam the Get Up host for a few more minutes. It sparked off a roundtable discussion of all the bad things everyone on the show has heard about Greenberg. It was pretty wild! The conversation wandered to Greenberg than…

data-mm-id=”_69sd1cnt7″>Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's budding romance has been one of the most dominant and defining storylines of the 2023 NFL season. News of their every move has been closely monitored by both football fans and Swifties alike, no matter how little either group previously cared about the other. What's been most surprising to me, as an interested observer and chronicler of this entire circus, is how those those around the couple have ended up in the spotlight or under the microscope. If someone goes to a game with Swift or goes to her house to watch the Chiefs, it's a story. It seems obvious that Swift sitting next to Donna Kelce would become a thing or how she bonded with Brittany Mahomes would make for good tabloid fodder, but we've crossed over…

data-mm-id=”_u9f69ml40″>The University of Connecticut's men's basketball team looks poised to make a serious run at defending their title after winning the 2023 NCAA Championship last April. Dan Hurley's squad is ranked No. 4 in the country as of Sunday and look every bit as dangerous as they did last year. Perhaps even more so considering how UConn was not considered a massive favorite heading into March Madness last season. On Sunday, they took on Georgetown in a game that probably had more eyeballs on it than it would've otherwise thanks to the NFL's decision to delay the Pittsburgh Steelers-Buffalo Bills Wild Card matchup to Monday. And near the end of the first half, Hurley just about lost his marbles. We'll give you the context, I promise, but it is …

data-mm-id=”_9bgzn0msb”>Jason Kelce has retired from football and is set to join ESPN ahead of the 2024 season, but there's so much more going on in his life. We know this because Kelce is now a legitimate celebrity. He's co-hosts a podcast with Taylor Swift's boyfriend, which has launched him and everyone in his orbit into a whole new stratosphere of notoriety.

Former Aston Villa striker Darren Bent has implored Unai Emery to summon up the will to resist the purely hypothetical notion of ditching Villa Park to take over from Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.

for lifting to fifth place this season, with their two-goal victory away to on Sunday just the latest impressive result for a side that is also competing for Europa Conference League honours.

Manchester United would be ‘complete no-brainer’ move for Unai Emery

That has made the former Gunners boss the flavour of the month once again, because football operates on a never-ending cycle of a lack of imagination beyond the last thing we all happened to see on telly.

And with ten Hag under pressure at it was only a matter of time before those two parts of the p…

A report in the Daily Mirror has also claimed that Slot wants to hold urgent talks with Van Dijk over where the Netherlands international sees himself playing next season.

Owen Hargreaves: Van Dijk was visibly annoyed at the final whistle

Former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves spotted that Van Dijk looked visibly annoyed at the end of their draw to West Ham on Saturday as Liverpool gave up more ground in the title race.

When asked about Liverpool s title chances, Hargreaves said: Done and dusted. You just saw van Dijk hanging his head there, just annoyed, frustrated.

I know he won’t be keen on farewells and goodbye but it’s nice to see all the [West Ham] players giving Klopp a hug. Disappointing for Liverpool, they should have won that game tod…

Man City boss Pep Guardiola will snub interest from Bayern Munich to remain at the Etihad Stadium next summer, according to reports.

The Citizens won the Treble last season as Guardiola led his side to glory in the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup in 2022/23.

Man City will have to settle for a potential Double this term after being knocked out of the Champions League on penalties by Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.

However, Guardiola s men are on course to win the Premier League title if they win their two remaining matches, while they face arch-rivals Man Utd in the FA Cup final later this month.

Guardiola has won five Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups, a Champions League, a UEFA Super Cup and a FIFA Club World Cup during…

Manchester United loanee Sofyan Amrabat has commented on his future, claiming it is an option to stay with the Premier League giants.

The 27-year-old has endured a difficult season at Old Trafford as he only made ten Premier League starts, but he made a rare start in the FA Cup final and played brilliantly as Erik ten Hag s side beat Man City 2-1 at Wembley.

Despite this, Amrabat is already being linked with moves elsewhere with
