data-mm-id=”_p8fntsy2a”>The Los Angeles Chargers ended the 2022 season in embarrassing fashion, blowing a 27-point lead in a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Wild Card round. Now they enter an offseason of uncertainty, as they sit roughly $23 million over the cap for 2023 and that's without handing Justin Herbert the bank-breaking contract extension he's sure to get. Their cap situation is the sixth-worst in the NFL. This offseason won't be a fun one. Joey Bosa ($31 million) and Corey Linsley ($13.1 million) could restructure their deals to create some more cap space, but the Chargers are going to have to make some difficult cuts to become cap compliant. Additionally, they'll have to let a number of free agents walk because there simply isn't the money t…

data-mm-id=”_d4i81yivh”>Two women were wounded by gunfire during Friday night's Oakland Athletics-Chicago White Sox game at Guaranteed Rate Field. The incident in the left field bleachers did not stop the game at all and made for a bizarre and confusing story over the weekend with many people speculating where the bullets may have come from. This morning it was looking more clear that whomever fired the gun must have been inside the stadium.ESPN Chicago's Peggy Kusinski provided the next chapter of this tale with a tweet for the ages indicating that one of the injured women had snuck the gun into the stadium by holding it in the folds of her belly fat. As I reported on @ESPN1000 just now… the shooting at Guaranteed Rate Field during a #WhiteSox game was indeed an accidental…

data-mm-id=”_c1mg7qgt0″>Victor Wembanyama blocked a career-high five shots Sunday afternoon, but the Toronto Raptors were able to beat the San Antonio Spurs in overtime, 123-116. The player who was the victim of two of those blocks was O.G. Anunoby who otherwise had a good game, scoring 24 points on 16 field goal attempts. It could have been more, but Wemby is too tall, as Anunoby explained after the game.OG's description of Wemby?Two words: "Too Tall" 😂 pic.twitter.com/jNaDi7Fthh— NBA Canada (@NBACanada) November 6, 2023O.G. Anunoby is listed at 6-foot-7. He's in his seventh season in the NBA and he's played big minutes for most of them. He's not a big man, but there can't be many guys in the league who make him feel small. Then nearly…

data-mm-id=”_dgjj6octf”>Nick Saban surprised a lot of people by retiring yesterday. It didn't take much time at all for the coaching carousel hamster wheel to get going and Oregon's Dan Lanning jumped right up to the top of the list as the possible next coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide. There were even reports and rumors of him being in Tuscaloosa crossing Ts and dotting Is, which ultimately turned out to be wrong. Because he will not be replacing Saban and taking on a nearly impossible gig. He's actually quite comfortable and happy in Eugene as the Ducks head into their Big Ten era. Don't believe it? How about a sleek 61-second video proving his commitment to the program? Would that do the job. Because it exists. pic.twitter.com/NKnRYbS4u9— Dan Lanning (@CoachDa…

data-mm-id=”_45mp013kj”>The NFL Draft is still two excruciatingly long weeks away so everyone is still playing guessing games about which players will be taken in which order by which teams. The only thing that seems certain is that the Chicago Bears, who recently traded Justin Field to the Pittsburgh Steelers, will draft consensus number one prospect Caleb Williams with the first selection. Enter Bill Simmons. On his April 10th podcast Simmons took a detour between topics to ask good friend and Ringer personality Joe House if there was any possibility that Williams might not even want to play in Chicago. Or if the Bears might trade the pick. Or whatever. Bill Simmons wants to know why Caleb Williams hasn’t said he’s excited to play in Chicago yet. pic.twitter.com/BfWMUTJW7O— Ste…

Harry Kane says Bayern Munich s season will be a failure if they do not win the Champions League, with Arsenal coming to town on Wednesday.

Bayern host in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final, with the first match last week ending in a 2-2 draw.

Bayern season a failure without a trophy Kane

Bayer Leverkusen romped to the Bundesliga title at the weekend, ending Bayern’s run of 11 straight league trophies and leaving them with only Europe’s highest honour to play for.

While Kane has excelled individually, his wait to win a team trophy after more than a decade without one at Tottenham could well continue.

The England captain told a press conference: “Of course every player, every club wants to win trophies, that’s the ultimate go…

Arsenal were able to weather a grandstand finish to move a step closer to a first Premier League title in 20 years with a potentially season-defining 3-2 victory at rivals Tottenham.

The Gunners held a one-point lead over Manchester City ahead of Sunday’s clash but all eyes were on whether Mikel Arteta’s men could pass this latest stern test and they did to remain at the summit going into May.

A Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg own goal gave Arsenal the perfect start after 15 minutes and not long after Micky van de Ven had seen an effort ruled out for offside, Bukayo Saka made it 2-0.

Saka’s classy 27th-minute finish after a slick counter-attack put the visitors in cruise control and when Kai Havertz continued his great form with a 13th goal of the season from anothe…

Rio Ferdinand has hit out at Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag for continuing to play Casemiro at centre-back after their 1-0 loss to Arsenal on Sunday.

The Brazilian partnered Jonny Evans at centre-back again as a Leandro Trossard tap-in settled the match at Old Trafford and saw the Gunners take the Premier League title race to the final day of the season.

Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof are all out injured and experienced midfielder Casemiro has filled in on four occasions now.

But legend Ferdinand was annoyed that Ten Hag played Casemiro out of position again over the weekend and reckons the Dutchman should ve played Sofyan Amrabat at right-back with Aaron Wan-Bissaka moving into central defence.

Following their defeat to…

Roy Keane says he was happy to be proved wrong by Bruno Fernandes after the Manchester United captain s oustanding display in the win over Manchester City on Saturday.

United have endured a difficult season in the Premier League, finishing in their lowest ever position of eighth and racking up their lowest points tally.

Reports ahead of the game suggested manager Erik ten Hag would be sacked no matter the result at Wembley in Sir Jim Ratcliffe s restructure of the club, but first-half goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo gave the Red Devils fans something to celebrate as they triumphed over Pep Guardiola s side.

, insisting that if he was shown the door by the new co-owner he would go anywhere else to win trophies having claimed two in two seasons at …
