data-mm-id=”_jj5hv6cap”>The Arizona Diamondbacks lost to the Texas Rangers in Game 4 of the World Series, but that doesn't mean their fans weren't having fun. Texas led 11-1 at one point, but a four-run rally in the bottom of the eight gave D-backs fans hope. That rush of runs was capped off by a three-run home run by Lourdes Gurriel Jr. To celebrate, an Arizona fan dove into the outfield pool at Chase Field. Check this out:CANNONBALL! 🤣 #WorldSeries pic.twitter.com/8RizFeUQWs— MLB (@MLB) November 1, 2023That's not quite a cannonball, more of a back-flop, but it had the desired cannonball effect. It was awesome. Good for that guy having some fun, even when his team was down. He was rewarded in the top of the ninth, when Corey Seager ripped a ground-rule dou…
data-mm-id=”_b0p3o0rvz”>When Texas A&M spent $75 million to push Jimbo Fisher out on November 12, a lot of noise was made about the Aggies going big with their next hire. Several big-name coaches and a few rising up-and-comers were mentioned as candidates. Fast forward a few weeks and Texas A&M settled on … Duke head coach Mike Elko? I'm sorry if I wasn't blown away by the hire. To be clear, I'm not saying Elko is a bad coach. Heck, he might even be great at Texas A&M. He was the defensive coordinator under Fisher from 2018 to 2021 and did well there. He was excellent as Notre Dame's DC in 2017 as well. He knows all the Texas recruiting connections from his time in College Station. But the 46-year-old has only been a head coach for two seasons and he d…
data-mm-id=”_gfuo1dx0c”>One of the odder parts of this NFL offseason that has, thus far, flown largely under the radar has been the Dak Prescott contract situation. As we all know the Dallas Cowboys are the crown jewel of daytime studio debate so the audience has heard quite a bit about their offseason moves (really the lack thereof) in the opening weeks of free agency. For all the complaining and criticism we've heard regarding the Cowboys' refusal to spend big and replace departing talent like Tony Pollard, there hasn't really been much about the fact that Prescott is entering the final year of his deal. Which is a mistake because what Dallas decides to do with Prescott this offseason will directly reflect the thinking of Jerry Jones and how things will go down for Ame…
data-mm-id=”_xoas9id9c”>The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1 on Sunday, but they may need to turn to Justin Fields. QB1 Russell Wilson is officially listed as questionable for the season opener due to a calf injury, as reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter. This is the same issue that Wilson dealt with early in training camp. The injury flared up on Thursday at practice, which resulted in the signal-caller taking limited reps. The veteran initially hurt the calf the day before camp began when he was pushing a team sled. Wilson missed the first 10 days of camp. While Fields lost the starting job to Wilson, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is confident in the youngster's abilities. Via ESPN:"I'm extremely comfortable if that is the case, cer…

According to reports, Liverpool s interest in Bayer Leverkusen star Odilon Kossounou has come as a bit of a surprise to some in Germany.
One of s transfer priorities during this summer s window will be to land a new centre-back with Joel Matip set to leave upon the expiry of his contract and Ibrahima Konate struggling with injuries.
Virgil van Dijk has returned to form this season and youngster Jarell Quansah has impressed, but Liverpool could do with another option in that department.
Goncalo Inacio, Piero Hincapie and Marc Guehi have been mentioned as potential options but Liverpool are also being linked with Kossounou.
The 23-year-old Ivory Coast international joined Bayer Leverkusen from Club Brugge in 2021 for a fee of around £20m.

According to reports, Julian Ward has returned to Liverpool as he has been appointed their technical director by FSG s CEO of football Michael Edwards.
are in the process of a major overhaul as it became clear in January that they need to replace ex-sporting director Jorg Schmadtke and departing manager Jurgen Klopp.
FSG s first job was to replace Schmadtke and they quickly focused on re-appointing Edwards, who had been without a club since leaving Liverpool in June 2022.

The 44-year-old was named FSG s CEO of Football in March and another deal was quickly concluded to make Richard Hughes…
According to reports, Manchester City have made it clear whether they would be willing to let Brazil international Ederson leave the club this summer.
invested around £35m to sign Ederson from Portuguese giants Benfica and he has proven to be a bargain for the Premier League giants.
Ederson to leave in the summer?
The ball-playing goalkeeper has made over 300 appearances for Man City and has spent seven seasons as their number-one between the sticks.
The 30-year-old has made 43 appearances for Man City this season across all competitions but his contract is due to expire in 2026 and his long-term future is in doubt.
His backup at the Etihad Stefan Ortega has been phenomenal when he s had to fill in for Ederson so Man City would have a ready-made replac…
Manchester City are believed to have tagged Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton as a long-term target for the club with the new England international winning over important figures at the Etihad.
Wharton has made a rapid rise in esteem thanks to a stellar first few months in the Premier League after he joined Crystal Palace from Blackburn Rovers in January.
Wharton s rise
Crystal Palace secured his services for an initial fee of £18m but that could balloon up to £22m if certain criteria are met.
Conservative estimates of Wharton s current market value would suggest that the midfielder is worth at least £25m. However, given that Crystal Palace have him under contract until 2029 and he is set to take part in the Euros this summer, Manchester City would b…
Scotland produced a much-improved performance as a stunning goal by Xherdan Shaqiri denied Steve Clarke s side a victory against Group A rivals Switzerland.
Steve Clarke and the Tartan Army wanted a reaction from the 5-1 Group A defeat by Germany on Friday and the start was certainly an improvement, with midfielder ’s shot in the 13th minute deflected in by Swiss defender Fabian Schar.
However, joy was replaced by despair in the 26th minute when returning Shaqiri took advantage of an Anthony Ralston error to level with a world-class finish.
had to work hard to contain Murat Yakin’s side but they did with intensity and determination, although the offside flag saved them twice from conceding, and they almost went ahead again when defender Grant Hanley hit the …
