ESPN’s Adam Schefter spoke with ESPN Monday on the status of numerous NFL coaches ahead of the busy “Black Monday.” The reporter provided some fascinating facts about Tomlin. “He has a year left on his deal. And others in the league feel Mike Tomlin will eventually decide to take some time off, as Sean Payton did. Consider taking a year off. “We’ll see if that’s something on his mind,” Schefter stated. Schefter even named the Commanders and Chargers as teams that…

His favourite Pittsburgh Steelers may be heavy underdogs in their playoff game against the Bills, but Tim Piett stays optimistic. “They have a few injuries like we do,” said Piett, “and I think we have more offensive power than they do.” Piett, 65, has been a Pittsburgh Steelers fan his entire life and works as the store manager at Yinzers in the Burgh in the Strip District. He is on his 41st year of selling Steelers stuff. “When I was growing up back in the ’70s, I saw my very first Super Bowl,” he told me. “I was like 12…
San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, who played for the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, said that a cultural difference could be the reason why the Eagles, who were 10-1, are entering the playoffs as the NFC’s No. 5 seed, 11-6. “It’s kind of similar because I think we’re very close,” Hargrave remarked about the two teams while speaking with teammate Arik Armstead on the latest episode of the “Third and Long” podcast, which was shared by Cayden Steele of NJ Advance Media for NJ.com. “Even in Philadelphia, we remained close.

During the 2000s, the Canadian province of Quebec generated some of the most electrifying atmospheres on the global boxing scene. The province has been crazy for fights since the 1900s, but an inflow of world-class talent and, in particular, North American TV distribution established a sparkling golden era for the sport in Canada. Jean Pascal, Lucian Bute, Adonis Stevenson, and David Lemieux arrived with fan bases large enough to fill NHL hockey stadiums, rose to the top of their respective divisions, and became HBO and Showtime regulars. Those in those audiences were educated boxing enthusiasts who were also fueled by…

The Brackley-based band shared a picture of the trio visiting Silverstone on their social media channels. Hamilton enters 2024 having not won a race since the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, while George Russell, in his third season with Mercedes, is keen to become a regular race winner. The pair just signed a new deal with the team that would keep them there until at least the end of 2025, therefore it is now up to Mercedes to supply them with a car capable of fighting for the world title.
