Ever since the Denver Nuggets won the NBA championship last summer, there has been a feeling among some that they’re close to unbeatable when it matters. That notion was further reinforced last week when they defeated the Boston Celtics 115-109 to take the season series 2-0. The Nuggets aren’t unbeatable, though. Even if they are excellent, they aren’t as well-known as the Boston Celtics from the mid-1980s, the Los Angeles Lakers, or the Chicago Bulls from 1996. As a result, there’s always a chance they lose in the first round of the playoffs this year. Is there a Western Conference…
The NFL Draft, which is still six weeks away, has taken on a clearer focus for the Pittsburgh Steelers given what has transpired in the early stages of free agency. Russell Wilson, a quarterback, Donte Jackson, a cornerback, Patrick Queen, the best inside linebacker available, and, of course, a punter to take Pressley Harvin III’s position are the new additions for the Steelers this week. They even reached a multiyear agreement on Wednesday to keep All-Pro special teams player Miles Killebrew and long snapper Christian Kuntz. However, the Steelers lost Diontae Johnson, their most seasoned and longest-tenured wide receiver, and…
Tottenham Hotspur have undergone a significant transformation since the arrival of new manager Ange Postecoglou last summer, with notable changes in the squad. One notable departure from the club is the legendary goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who bid farewell to Spurs in December last year after an illustrious 11 and a half years. Lloris ventured across the Atlantic to join MLS side Los Angeles FC for the 2024 season, with options for further extensions in the following years. During his tenure at Tottenham, the Frenchman made an impressive 444 appearances across all competitions, registering 151 clean sheets along the way, as…
The Pittsburgh Steelers kicked off free agency by getting themselves the quarterback upgrade they needed and signing Russell Wilson. The combination of the play and their subsequent offensive playmaking maneuver may make one of Wilson’s previous teammates a target for the Steelers. This week, the Steelers traded Dionte Johnson, so now they have to go acquire a WR2 to take his position. Since the trade, they have been connected to a number of veteran options. On the other hand, Wilson may know a player who holds the key to their success. According to Christopher Barbre of Steelers Nation, the Steelers ought to…
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is set to be without one of his key summer signings. Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven had a scan on his hamstring on Tuesday afternoon with the club optimistic that he would be back in training soon. He will however miss this weekend’s trip to Craven Cottage in the Premier according to manager Ange Postecoglou. This is the second major injury the 22-year-old has suffered after missing two months out late last year due to a similar injury picked up against Chelsea on November 6. Against Villa this weekend, he was one of the top performers before pulling out earlier…
The Pittsburgh Steelers need to get back to their winning ways, and they need to do it now. The team acknowledged that their offense was the biggest issue they needed to address, and it didn’t take long before they took a big step in that direction. Hiring Arthur Smith to be their next offensive coordinator could do wonders for this team. That’s why former NFL player Louis Riddick believes it was actually their biggest offseason move. Talking on ESPN’s Get Up, he argued that Smith being there with Russell Wilson will allow the Steelers to get the best out of…
Tottenham Hotspur are going to have a big say in who wins the Premier League title this season. On Sunday, Ange Postecoglou and his players showcased their attacking might when they dispatched their top-four rivals Aston Villa 4-0. The Premier League’s top three – Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City – either still have to visit Hotspur Way or welcome them before the end of the campaign. But Paul Merson thinks all three teams will want to play the Champions League-chasing side because they will open the game up, as he told Soccer Special on Sky Sports (12/03/24 at 7:10 pm). The former Arsenal player…
Rassie Erasmus has revealed why he opted to return to the Springbok head coach role, stating: ‘I’ve seen this movie before, and I like it’. Back in 2018, Rassie Erasmus returned from Ireland to take up the top job coaching the Springboks, and successfully led the side to the 2019 World Cup title. He subsequently guided the Springboks to success in the British & Irish Lions series in 2021 after shifting into a key role as director of rugby, while Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber also masterminded the World Cup triumph in 2023. Erasmus only managed a 65% win percentage over 26 Test…
Tottenham Hotspur are keen on Santiago Gimenez but former Premier League ace Rafael van der Vaart believes Feyenoord should not jump at the chance to sell even if offered shy of £20 million. With three goals in his last four games – including one against Roma in the UEFA Europa League – Feyenoord’s Mexican marksman may have been forgiven for assuming that he’d silenced his critics again. But it will take more than a strike against Heracles at De Kuip, Feyenoord cruising to a 3-0 win on Sunday as Santiago Gimenez hit the net again, to dispel Rafael van der Vaart’s doubts. The £40 million-rated…
This player failed to live up to the hype in the Premier League, albeit with some good moments. It does feel like it’s all streamlining at Tottenham Hotspur this season, with Ange Postecoglou leading the charge toward European football once again. Last year Spurs fell by the wayside in the Premier League and chairman Daniel Levy knew that, having dismissed Antonio Conte, he had to get it right, lest his outfit sink further into the mire of midtable. Postecoglou had never managed in a top-five European league but his work in Scotland with Celtic with Japanese side Yokohama F. Marinos spoke of his credentials and Tottenham made their…
