Zack Baun spoke to the media on Wednesday after signing his 3-year $51-million extension with the Eagles this offseason. It’s hard to imagine Zack Baun ever having a season as good or better than his 2024. Last season, Baun was a Pro Bowler, All-Pro, finalist for Defensive Player of the Year and led the Eagles to a Super Bowl victory over a team on the verge of a dynasty. It was Year 1 of Baun in Philly. Year 1 of Baun playing off-ball linebacker full-time. Year 1 of Baun playing in Vic Fangio’s defense. So … as crazy as it…
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) – Notre Dame dropped to a No. 3 seed in the women’s NCAA Tournament after the Fighting Irish stumbled at the close of the regular season, losing three of their last five games after being ranked No. 1 in the country behind the dazzling play of Hannah Hidalgo. Coach Niele Ivey is eager to see the Fighting Irish get their fight back when Notre Dame (26-5) starts its March Madness run on Friday by hosting No. 14 seed Stephen F. Austin (29-5). “I think those were setbacks for us, lessons for us,” said Ivey, whose team…
Leeds United could seal a Kalvin Phillips return regardless of their league status next season in a major new update. The former Whites academy graduate has struggled to recreate the sensational form that earned him a £45million move to Manchester City in 2022. He has featured just 17 times on loan for Ipswich Town in the Premier League this season and he does not look to have any sort of future at parent club City. Pep Guardiola does not seem to rate the England star and could very well sanction a sale when the transfer window reopens. Leeds to secure Phillips return…
Postecoglou remains confident that the club can attract the world’s best talent. Speaking earlier this year, he said: “It depends what the players are looking for. You can look at it two ways. OK the league form is not great but there’s some pretty big possibilities to have success here in the last three or four months [of the season]. “It’s still a big club, it’s still a club that can challenge for honours and it’s whether the player sees the potential that we see right now, or certainly that I see. If it’s too much of a hard sell,…
Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on an experienced Liverpool man, but the North London club are now unlikely to be able to convince him to join after what they did in the January window. Tottenham addressed their goalkeeping situation in the January window by securing talented young Czech goalkeeper, Antonin Kinsky, who has shown plenty of promise, even though he has made a couple of mistakes. Just ahead of that move, Spurs were linked with Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, who has impressed as an understudy to Alison Becker at Anfield over the last few years. The Republic of Ireland international enters…

Heung-min Son has provided an update on his fitness with the South Korean having found himself on the Tottenham Hotspur bench for the last three Premier League matches. Ange Postecoglou has opted to start Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert at left wing ahead of him in each of the last three league games for the Lilywhites. Son was superb against AZ Alkmaar which has left supporters questioning why the manager has not favoured him in the Premier League recently. The 32-year-old has now opened up on why Postecoglou has decided to bench him over recent weeks following questions from the South Korean media. Heung-min Son…
The interest from Saudi Arabia in Gabriel Magalhaes is nothing new, it dates back a couple of years now. Nerve-shredding final seconds on the touchline before Newcastle’s cup glory 0 seconds of 1 minute, 27 seconds In the summer of 2023 there were fears at Arsenal that Gabriel’s head had been turned by the money that was on offer, which was why he was left out of the team in those early games that season.

After a number of twists and turns and months of negotiations, the Cincinnati Bengals re-signed Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to long-term extensions. And now that the deals are done, the Bengals are feeling themselves. In a recent post, Cincinnati wrote, “Actions speak louder” and included a montage of various football take havers including Stephen A. Smith, Shannon Sharpe and Pat McAfee saying the Bengals wouldn’t re-sign Chase and Higgins. The minute-long video also includes negative social media posts predicting the team’s inability to retain both receivers. It was a nice opportunity for the woebegone franchise to take a victory lap.…
Defensive line is one of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ biggest needs this offseason. They released Larry Ogunjobi last week and have since signed Daniel Ekuale. The goal today is to see what the former New England Patriot could bring to the Steel City in 2025. First, I wanted to see what opportunities look like. Here are total defensive snaps, and over-the-tackle snaps, including 2024 Steelers and NFL defensive lines, for context: Right away, we see that Ekuale was comfortably above the mean in each. He had 723 defensive snaps, ranking 15th out of 68 qualifying DL (min. 475 snaps). The best…
