(Matchroom) HOUSTON, Texas – Matchroom will consider attempting to build Raymond Ford as an attraction in his home city if he wins Saturday evening’s contest with O’Shaquie Foster. Ford’s long-term promoters and the promoter of the WBC junior-featherweight title fight at the Fertitta Center would have rebuilt his career from his WBA featherweight title defeat by Nick Ball in 2024. Victory over Foster – the defending champion and another resident of Houston – would also represent the highest-profile of his career, and potentially allow him to inherit as a following some of those attending their fight. As has most consistently…
That much was clear as the season went on and when Salah called out Slot’s style of play indirectly in a social media post earlier this month, it was a clear attack on his manager’s leadership.There were also question marks over whether the players truly believed in Slot’s methods.One club source, who was also at Liverpool during Jurgen Klopp’s tenure said: “Arne’s a great person but you always felt he lacked that authority Jurgen had and that became more evident when things weren’t going well on the pitch.”The departure of veterans Salah, Andy Robertson and now Ibrahima Konate is telling…
Though doubts have surrounded Auburn Tigers head coach Alex Golesh ahead of his first season, few have been able to deny his coaching credentials. The Ohio State graduate has coached at a litany of programs over his 23-year coaching career. Still, one stop has always stood out: his time as the offensive coordinator and tight ends coach for the Tennessee Volunteers.Golesh was so good at Tennessee, in fact, that his former head coach, Josh Heupel, sang his praises during the SEC’s spring meetings this past week“Alex, for a couple of years, there was a big part of our staff when…
Landry Shamet has been passed around like a bong for most of his NBA career. The Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Clippers, Brooklyn Nets, Phoenix Suns and, most recently, Washington Wizards all had him and in some way sent him packing. Lower-body and shoulder injuries are catalysts for the journeyman resume. Shamet’s various departures didn’t exactly incite picket lines outside arenas. Still, the entire league whiffed on him this past summer. Despite finishing last year on the Knicks, buried underneath the wrath of Tom Thibodeau, he wasn’t guaranteed a roster spot this season. New York brought him in on a training-camp…

If the Clippers need some convincing that Wagler is worth the No. 5 pick—and they might not; he has a chance to be special—a process of elimination might get them there. They probably don’t have the appetite for another small guard after adding Darius Garland at the trade deadline, and they might question the value of reaching for a center in this spot. So, maybe Wagler is something of a by-default choice here. Or, again, maybe he’s someone they just really like. It could easily be the latter, as his positional size (6’6″), lights-out shooting, penchant for passing and turnover…
There was time when Tennessee cornerback was viewed as the No. 1 cornerback in the 2026 NFL Draft. Despite missing the 2025 season with an ACL tear, McCoy was still ranked 11th overall on the Bleacher Report NFL Scouting Department’s final big board. However, reports surfaced the week of the draft that McCoy might need another surgery on his knee, and the 6’1″ 188-pounder’s stock plummeted—McCoy fell all the way to Round 4 before the las Vegas Raiders selected him 101st overall. McCoy was out there for the beginning of OTAs, and while appearing on the JT the Brick Show,…
