There were several spectacular tackles made during Newcastle’s victory over Arsenal on Saturday night, but Joelinton celebrated the biggest one when he made this one on Declan Rice. The match took place at St. James’ Park and was very violent. The Magpies won 1-0 because of a goal that has generated a lot of controversy. However, there were other dubious occurrences on Saturday night. Kai Havertz’s terrible tackle that took out Sean Longstaff was the first. Though it very easily could have been red, he earned a yellow. Then there was the Bruno Guimaraes affair, in which he ought to…

The other teams that Nightengale connected to Ohtani were the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, New York Mets, San Francisco Giants, Seattle Mariners, San Diego Padres, and Texas Rangers. Ohtani has been a member of the Angels for his whole six-year Major League Baseball career, living up to the enormous hype he received as a star in Japan. After winning American League Rookie of the Year in 2018, the 29-year-old was selected to three All-Star teams. It’s highly likely that he will earn AL MVP in 2023 after taking home the trophy in 2021. The versatile player…

At Deutsche Bank Park on Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs held on to defeat the Miami Dolphins 21-14 despite two touchdown passes from quarterback Patrick Mahomes and a touchdown on a 59-yard fumble return by safety Bryan Cook. The Chiefs (7-2) almost wasted a large lead in the first-ever regular season game in Frankfurt, but they did enough to limit the NFL’s top-ranked offense. With 1:03 remaining, Miami’s attempt to rally was dashed when quarterback Tua Tagovailoa mishandled a snap on a fourth-and-10 from the Kansas City 31. Mahomes gave Rashee Rice and Jerick McKinnon touchdown throws in the first…

Josh McDaniels had two rough stints as an NFL head coach: the first was with the Denver Broncos, and the most recent was with the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders fired McDaniels following a dismal start to the season. The Raiders sacked McDaniels earlier this week in an effort to salvage their season, but since then, several insider reports have surfaced, highlighting the difficulties of his last few days in command. One of the issues at Denver was that head coach Josh McDaniels was unyielding in his coaching techniques and practice philosophy, benching several experienced players, including quarterback Jay Cutler.…

Is Nick Sirianni, the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, “stupid”? or “beyond the pale”? or simply ”learning on the job”? In a crucial NFL Week 9 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, Sirianni, an emotional coach, is essentially admitting guilt on all three counts. During “Dallas Week” in Philadelphia, he said, “We have to treat every day the same.” “You can’t be more excited for one game than the next. That’s for you guys to get (excited), you fans and journalists. I’m not expecting anyone to comprehend that thinking, and I’m not asking anyone to comprehend the mindset of…

Michigan moved to 9-0 after defeating Purdue 41-13 on Saturday night. The Wolverines were once again dominant, even though it wasn’t all pretty. The Michigan run game struggled to get anything going Blake Corum salvaged it with three scores. J.J. McCarthy threw for 335 yards, but was off target at times. While there were some blips, the Michigan defense was stout and got the job done. The Wolverines entered the game ranked third in the CFP Rankings. While that’s the only ranking that matters, it’s still interesting to see what the voting media thinks of Michigan. On Sunday afternoon, the…

The 49ers’ defense needs to be revamped. It appears sluggish and lifeless. At times, it even appears aged. The safeties aren’t making plays like they did the previous season, and defensive coordinator Steve Wilks plays the cornerbacks nine yards off the line of scrimmage, seemingly lacking faith in his secondary. It’s time to play Ji’Ayir Brown, the 49ers’ third-round pick this year and the free safety they traded up for in Round 3. Tashaun Gipson, their current free safety, is 33 years old, ranks eighth on the team in tackles, and has only had one interception this season—a gimme pop…

Ariel Atkins, a guard for the Washington Mystics, is now participating in two friendly against collegiate teams for the USA Basketball women’s national team. The first matchup is today against the Tennessee Lady Volunteers. Speaking of education, Atkins was been appointed to the position of assistant coach for player development on the staff of Kim Barnes Arico, the women’s basketball coach at the University of Michigan. Barnes Arico stated in the release: “I think Ariel is the perfect fit for Michigan women’s basketball. We were part of USA Basketball together in 2014 with the FIBA Americas U18 team.” I have…

MICHAEL ARBOR, MI Following the game, Jim Harbaugh took some time to appreciate Saturday’s victory over Purdue and quarterback J.J. McCarthy’s performance before departing from Michigan’s postgame news conference. With his fist clenched over his heart, Harbaugh exclaimed, “Man, it’s special to watch.” Then he gathered his belongings, went outside to say hello to his family, and went down a short hallway behind athletic director Warde Manuel. It was uncertain how long Harbaugh would have to lead this specific Michigan team when he departed the stadium on Saturday night. Tony Petitti, the commissioner of the Big Ten, visited Ann Arbor…

In the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, rookie quarterback Jaren Hall of the Minnesota Vikings, starting for the first time in his career in lieu of an ailing Kirk Cousins, sustained a concussion. After taking a big hit during a third-and-goal scramble, Hall needed assistance to the sidelines. Josh Dobbs, who was just acquired by the Minnesota Vikings via a deadline trade with the Cardinals, will take over at center after he was promptly declared out of the game. K.J. Osborn, a wide receiver with the Vikings, also went down with a concussion in the first…
