Mike Tomlin is carefully setting the stage for a quarterback competition. Russell Wilson is in pole position to be the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers this season, according to Mike Tomlin. Speaking to the media over the weekend from the NFL owners meetings in Orlando, Tomlin made it clear that the Steelers are looking at Wilson as the starter and Justin Fields as a backup going into training camp. “I just think that provides clarity for all parties involved. Russell is a veteran, man. He’s got a proven process of readiness. He’s been in this league a long time. He’s capable…
The first episode of the much-awaited rugby documentary series “Chasing the Sun 2” aired on Sunday, offering fans a riveting look into the Springboks’ emotional journey during the 2023 Rugby World Cup. This sequel to the original series, which documented South Africa’s triumphant 2019 campaign, commenced with a scene that instantly captured the intensity and pressure faced by the team in their quest for glory. The episode spotlighted a pivotal moment at the semi-final against England, a match where the Springboks, despite being the favourites, found themselves trailing 12-6 at halftime. England’s command over the game in adverse weather conditions…
As the Springboks begin a new World Cup cycle, we identify three areas where there will be key improvements needed. Ever since returning to his previous position as the Springboks’ head coach, Rassie Erasmus has emphasised that the team will need to keep evolving in order to keep succeeding. With a few newcomers joining the management team, as well as a few new players expected to inject fresh blood into the team, there is no doubt that some key changes will be made over the next four years. WHAT WILL THE SPRINGBOKS BE TARGETING? Attacking revolution During last year’s Rugby…
In our latest addition to an article series looking at one-cap Springboks who are still playing, one forward is soon heading to the Sharks. There is a lengthy list of players who have retired after earning just one cap for the Springboks, but there are also a few who are still playing, and continue to harbour hopes of adding to that solitary appearance at international level. WHO ARE THE ONE CAP SPRINGBOK PLAYERS WHO ARE STILL PLAYING? Powerful lock Jason Jenkins is now 28 years old, and it seems quite unbelievable that he has featured in just one Test for the Springboks. The…
There’s dodging a punch, there’s dodging a knife, there’s dodging a bullet, and then there’s what Tennessee did Saturday night at Spectrum Center. The Vols dodged a series of cannonballs. CHARLOTTE — There’s dodging a punch, there’s dodging a knife, there’s dodging a bullet, and then there’s what Tennessee did Saturday night at Spectrum Center. Rick Barnes and his Vols dodged a series of cannonballs and slayed psychological dragons in their 62-58 win over Texas in a barroom basketbrawl to book their ticket back to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament. This was the game Barnes never wanted, but it’s the…
Pittsburgh Steelers longtime owner Art Rooney II made it clear after another mediocre performance by his team during the NFL season that things need to change, and he’s tired of early exits and failed expectations. With Rooney making his displeasure public knowledge, many believed the Steelers might finally part ways with longtime head coach Mike Tomlin, but the team decided against going in that direction, as he will coach the team for at least one more season. Now that Tomlin is under pressure to right the ship next season, as his job could be on the line in 2024, the…
On our livestream for the Indiana game, we came to the conclusion that against younger, longer, athletic teams just to win one game, the Warriors are just, well, too old, too small, and not as athletic. During the diminishing of the 12-point lead in the second quarter, Chris Paul got outsized by Aaron Nesmith for an offensive rebound and Myles Turner and Tyrese Haliburton ran a pick-and-roll that had Paul and Stephen Curry as the help defense on the roll side. Turner dunked it over Curry. And on defense with the second unit, you saw that Golden State had to settle for a zone with CP3 and Klay Thompson on the floor.…
The debate on whether Bronny James should declare for the 2024 NBA Draft rages on, but former Lakers champion Metta Sandiford-Artest has thrown his support behind the USC freshman. Sandiford-Artest believes the 19-year-old has a lot of potential and shouldn’t be perturbed by his first college season. “I think he has a good option,” Sandiford-Artest told TMZ Sports when asked what kind of advice he would give Bronny. “… He’s very athletic. I still think he hasn’t grown into his body yet. So, I don’t know if he’s going to be top 50 all time. But in terms of his ability to…
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The No. 22 Tennessee Women’s tennis team fell, 4-1, to No. 8 Georgia on Sunday afternoon at Barksdale Stadium. The match started as a back-and-forth contest with the Lady Vols locking up the doubles point before the Bulldogs collected four singles victories. “We have to change something,” eighth-year head coach Alison Ojeda remarked. “There are only so many times you can knock on a door before a team has to decide that they are willing to step through it. These guys aren’t willing to step through it at the moment. I know we won the doubles point, but even in…
The Michigan State Spartans were eliminated in the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament by the North Carolina Tar Heels on Saturday. The result shouldn’t have been surprising considering North Carolina is the top seed in the West region and one of the top-ranked teams in the country. That doesn’t mean longtime Spartans coach Tom Izzo was satisfied with his team’s postseason run. After the game, Izzo promised the media that he would not only come back, but would go above and above to put Michigan State back where they belong. “I’m gonna get back to a deeper run in…
