data-mm-id=”_s5zpo8jvc”>The 2023 ESPY Awards took place last night and since there was no host for the first time ever there were a variety of speeches given by various personalities. Pat McAfee was tasked with giving the opening monologue, which should not come as a surprise. He is built perfectly for something like this. Coupled with his status as ESPN's newest big-ticket hire and he was always going to get some screentime at the ESPYS this year. McAfee's speech touched upon Damar Hamlin, who was in attendance last night to present the Pat Tillman Award For Service to the Buffalo Bills' training staff. While telling the story of the night the staff saved Hamlin's night McAfee took a shot at Skip Bayless, to the great delight of the crowd. Damar Hamlin is an ABSOLU…
data-mm-id=”_p0q3t5flh”>The NFL's official bio on X is an homage to a Taylor Swift song. The league's Instagram bio points out that the Kansas City Chiefs are a perfect 2-0 in games the singer has attended. Those contest have come against the truly pathetic Chicago Bears at Arrowhead and the plucky but limited New York Jets across the river from the place Swift famously welcomed people and assured the city had been waiting for them. Swift's newish but intensely covered budding relationship with All-Pro tight end and podcaster Travis Kelce is the platonic ideal of when sports and pop culture merge. It's pure Americana and if given the afternoon to get baked, a person would be able to come up with a 5,000-word thinkpiece about her new era of bringing back the monocult…

data-mm-id=”_adpw4il79″>The New England Patriots entered a period of transition this offseason after parting ways with Bill Belichick and replacing him with Jerod Mayo. It was, and is, going to be difficult. Belichick's preferences and way of thinking has molded the organization for two decades. Everybody working for the Patriots has never known another way (no pun intended) of going about things. The adjustment is only made that much harder by the fact that the roster needed a complete facelift after a truly depressing 2023 season. In that regard, at least, New England had an advantage. They entered the 2024 offseason with $100 million to spend, the most in the entire league, and it was crystal clear what they needed– talent at receiver and on the offensive line, as well as some…

Arsenal icon Ian Wright has leapt to the defence of Manchester United midfielder Casemiro after the Brazil international was slammed by Jamie Carragher.
Man Utd spent an initial fee of around £60m to sign Casemiro from Real Madrid during the 2022 summer transfer window.
This transfer came about after the Red Devils failed to tempt Netherlands international Frenkie de Jong to ditch FC Barcelona for a move to Old Trafford.
The Premier League giants were mocked after this signing was confirmed for spending such a significant fee to sign the 32-year-old. He enjoyed a strong debut season at Man Utd but his form has severely declined this term.
He needs to call it a day

On Sunday, clinched their fourth consecutive Premier League title and they could do the league and cup double *once again* this season as they face Man Utd in the FA Cup final this weekend.

Sesko has emerged as a leading target for Arsenal after scoring 14 goals in 31 Bundesliga appearances for RB Leipzig during his debut campaign for the German outfit in 2023/24.
The 21-year-old is available for a reasonable price as there is a £56m release clause in his contract, but Arsenal faces competition from Premier League…
