data-mm-id=”_7a4xtok5b”>On Wednesday, the New York Jets announced they had restructured quarterback Aaron Rodgers' contract. That's not an unusual occurrence and would have passed largely unnoticed around the NFL if not for the numbers that were released. Rodgers wound up taking a pay cut of roughly $35 million to help the Jets out. The Green Bay Packers have to be furious at that news. When Rodgers was traded from the Packers to the Jets this offseason, he agreed to move a $58.3 million option bonus to 2024 to help the Jets fit him under their salary cap limit. That meant he'd be owed $107 million in 2024. That was untenable, so something had to change. Today that change was announced and it's mind-boggling. Rodgers and the Jets have agreed to a two-year deal with …

data-mm-id=”_pr6c02jle”>The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday, a victory that should be extremely theraputic for Vikings fans everywhere. Instead, the win is overshadowed by the huge loss Minnesota suffered as Kirk Cousins is feared to have torn his Achilles on a non-contact play in the second half. With Kirk Cousins feared to have torn his Achilles, a prolific season appears headed to a frustrating end. https://t.co/3bZnTQ3JpJ— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 29, 2023The Vikings started very slowly this year but were in the process of turning it around; the Packers win marked three straight to move their record to 4-3 on the year. The last two wins have been particularly impressive given they've come without Justin Jefferson. Now, thou…

Reports are coming into the newroom that suggest 34-year-old Travis Kelce kissed his 34-year-old girlfriend Taylor Swift when the clock struck midnight last night. In public!

data-mm-id=”_uwezr2bx9″>Michigan State knocked off Minnesota in Big Ten Tournament action from Minneapolis, which should secure the 26th straight NCAA Tournament appearance for the Spartans. It was a physical, high-stakes game that officially ushered in March for a blueblood that has been sleepwalking all season. It also featured one of the strangest dunk attempts you'll ever see.With less than 10 minutes remaining, Elijah Hawkins threw up a lob for his Gophers teammate Pharrel Payne who went up top to slam it home. The bucket would have given Minnesota the lead but somehow the ball got stuck in Payne's hands as he held onto the rim and bent it down. Then it somehow went flying away after he released the goal.Officials ruled it offensive basket interference and everyone watch…

data-mm-id=”_gnmvennsf”>The thing about watching Victor Wembanyama is that a person can get used to the things he does on the court over the course of 48 minutes. We've evolved to the point where we can't allow our brains to be absolutely fried into oblivion by each and every single thing the San Antonio Spurs rookie does — even if most of it we've never seen before or, like Guy Fieri, he's putting an incredibly bold new twist on a classic big man move. But it does seem that once per game he's going to do something that makes the viewer feel like Joaquin Phoenix reviewing surveillance footage in Signs. Like — and it feels incredible to say this — dunking a basketball from an underhanded scoop motion. Which he did last night against the Philadelphia 76ers.…

Michail Antonio has hit out at Man Utd legend Roy Keane s dinosaur mentality over criticism of the West Ham forward s podcast.

The former Republic of Ireland midfielder had some strong opinions on footballers who have podcasts about football while still in the middle of their career.

Keane: I don t think you should laugh for a week or two if you lose

Without naming Antonio, Man Utd legend said : I think that [podcasts] can be a distraction for a player, particularly if you re on the back of a defeat, and you re in the next day and everyone is having a bit of a laugh. I don t think you should laugh for a week or two if you ve been beaten.

Antonio has been the co-host of the BBC s Footballers’ Football podcast since 2021 with Newcastle striker Callum Wilso…

Former Germany boss Hansi Flick is interested in becoming the new Man Utd manager, while the Red Devils have been advised to appoint Michael Carrick.

Man Utd were embarrassed on Monday night as a Michael Olise brace helped Oliver Glasner s side dominate the Red Devils.

That result is their 13th league defeat of the season and leaves in eighth place in the table and on course for their lowest ever Premier League finish.

Ten Hag is now under immense pressure to turn around results before the end of the season with their FA Cup final against Man City later this month their last chance of success.

There are reports that there is already a feeling in the Man Utd dressing room that the Dutchman will be sacked at the end of the season and there are a number o…

The chances of Sir Jim Ratcliffe sacking Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag to appoint his own manager is now 50-50 , according to Fabrizio Romano.

Ten Hag might only have one match left as manager after a bitterly disappointing Premier League campaign.

The FA Cup final against Manchester City this weekend represents a huge task for the Dutchman and his players, but winning the competition would see the Red Devils qualify for the Europa League at the expense of Chelsea, who would drop into the Europa Conference League, and Newcastle United out of European football altogether.

Taking home the trophy could save Ten Hag s job, though we have seen with Louis van Gaal in the past that this is not always enough as manager of United.

There is so much speculat…

England boss Gareth Southgate has explained why he opted against including Jack Grealish and Harry Maguire in his final squad for Euro 2024.

Southgate had until 11pm on Friday to name his final 26-man squad for Euro 2024 but his final squad was announced on Thursday afternoon.

It was part of the reason why we couldn t take Maguire

All the players took the news really respectfully. Of course, all players will think they should be in and that s why they are top players, Southgate told reporters.

They have that self-belief and mindset, but the fact is we have some players who hav…
