data-mm-id=”_sieyiutmq”>Even if we were to grade on the easiest curve imaginable, what happened on First Take yesterday would get a failing grade. Even if the bar was set impossibly low and built with two pretty attainable elements — carrying about the subject matter being discussed and not openly insulting an organization for merely existing or fans who support them — Stephen A. Smith would have repeatedly knocked his head on it. The program deigned to briefly discuss the Los Angeles Angels' string of luck over the holiday weekend, a stretch that saw Mike Trout fracture his wrist, Shohei Ohtani leave a start with a blister on his middle finger, and Anthony Rendon hobble himself with a foul ball off his leg. Everyone knows that despite having Trout and Ohtani, the team has not s…

data-mm-id=”_iw3p6r4vz”>The Tennessee Titans took on the Baltimore Ravens in London on Sunday and it didn't go so well in the first half. The two sides traded field goals in the first quarter before the Ravens scored a TD to go up 15-3 with three minutes left in the half. They got the ball back after the two-minute warning but couldn't do anything with it and lined up to punt with only 12 seconds to go before halftime. You'd think Tennessee was safe to get to the locker room and regroup in an attempt to show some competitiveness in the second half. You would think wrong. Kyle Philips, the Titans' second-year return man, muffed the punt at his own 11-yard line. The Ravens recovered and the ever-reliable Justin Tucker was able to boot in a short field goal to put his …

data-mm-id=”_clhhrq69g”>While the 2023 NFL playoff picture has begun to come into focus, so has the 2024 NFL Draft order. Thanks to some unexpected outcomes in Week 14, the order has been shaken up a bit. Still, the view from the top remains largely unchanged. The Chicago Bears still have a clear path to the top pick. Their trade with the Panthers last year to net Carolina's first-rounder is looking damn good. The Panthers took Bryce Young at No. 1 and are 1-12, meaning the Bears will have the top pick again. Meanwhile, the New England Patriots still have a grip on the No. 2 pick. With North Carolina's Drake Maye announcing is intention to enter the draft, and USC's Caleb Williams expected to follow suit, quarterbacks could go No. 1 and No. 2. The Arizona Cardinals and W…

The Packers took a 27-7 lead into the half after a performance that left fans in either shock or tears. On the FOX Halftime Show, former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson gave the speech that he would have given if he'd been in the locker room. It did not appear to be acting. Just a frustrated Dallas legend, embarrassed by what he'd seen in the first half.

Jamie Carragher thinks Man Utd midfielder Casemiro should be looking to move to Major League Soccer or Saudi Arabia in the summer after his terrible performance against Crystal Palace on Monday night.

Michael Olise produced a wonderful performance as he scored two goals in with Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell also getting on the scoresheet.

Man Utd were again suffering with injuries with Casemiro used as a centre-back, as he has been in a number of recent matches, in the absence of Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Raphael Varane.

According to WhoScored, the Brazilian was dribbled past on eight occasions against Palace on Monday evening, the most any player has been dribbled past in the Premier League this season.

Former Feyenoord coach Arne Slot has been confirmed as Jurgen Klopp’s successor at Liverpool.

However, in a departure from tradition, the Dutchman will become the club’s first head coach rather than manager.

Slot has reportedly signed a three-year contract and will officially take over on June 1, subject to a work permit.

Liverpool’s exhaustive search – incorporating sophisticated data analysis, character and performance research, market assessment, performance evaluation and various other indicators – identified the 45-year-old as their preferred candidate several weeks ago and his desire to take the job allowed for a swift appointment.
