In a surprising turn of events, Kentucky Wildcats head coach Mark Pope took full responsibility for the team’s recent struggles, stating “I’m doing a poor job, and that’s why we’re not playing up to our standards.” Pope’s candid admission came after the Wildcats’ latest loss, which marked their third defeat in the last five games. Despite having a talented roster, Kentucky has failed to live up to expectations, and Pope acknowledged that he bears the brunt of the blame. “I’m the head coach, and it’s my job to get these kids to play to their potential,” Pope said. “Right now,…
A medical expert has confirmed the worst fears regarding Detroit Lions defensive tackle Alim McNeill’s recovery from a torn ACL. Dr. David Chao, a renowned sports injury specialist, believes it will be “tough” for McNeill to be ready for the start of the 2024 season. McNeill suffered the injury in Week 15 against the Buffalo Bills, and while the Lions have not officially ruled him out for next season, the timing of the injury and the typical 9-12 month recovery timeline make it unlikely he’ll be fully recovered by the start of the season. Dr. Chao noted that getting McNeill…
Sophie Hall reportedly claimed that she slept with Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill amidst the lawsuit against the NFL star. In 2024, Hall filed a lawsuit against the Dolphins star player, alleging that he fractured her leg during a football session. In her lawsuit, the plus-size model claimed that during a backyard football session in 2023 at Tyreek Hill’s Florida mansion, the wide receiver allegedly knocked her down with such force that it broke her leg, requiring her to undergo reconstructive surgery. The lawsuit took a new turn recently when, on Wednesday, Sophie Hall made a shocking claim against Tyreek…
Lions QB Jared Goff recently shared his thoughts on former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson leaving Detroit to become the head coach of the Chicago Bears. Goff expressed his admiration for Johnson, calling him “a hell of a coach” who made a significant impact on his career. Goff acknowledged that he’ll miss Johnson but is also excited to work with new offensive coordinator John Morton, with whom he has some familiarity. Goff mentioned that he and Morton were together in 2022, and he’s looking forward to seeing where their partnership can go. When asked about facing Johnson’s Bears team twice a…
The 2025 NFL Draft will be held Thursday, April 24 through Saturday April 26 in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and Miami Dolphins fans overwhelmingly say they want a guard with the 13th pick. The Dolphins are open to drafting a quarterback in April, but they don’t figure to have a shot at Cam Ward of Miami and Shadeur Sanders of Colorado. The Miami Dolphins hold 10 picks in the draft, including 13th overall (first round), 48th overall (second round) and a projected compensatory pick at the end of the third round. Dolphins general manager Chris Grier knows he must support coach…
I am tired of hearing that the Miami Dolphins need to win a playoff game to be considered successful. That kind of talk and energy are keeping us stagnant. We need to set our sights on fighting for the AFC title, like the Chiefs, Bills, Ravens, and even the Bengals have done over the past five years. We have too much invested in this team to just hope for a playoff win. On top of that, I’m tired of being a team that excites us only to let us down in the end. It’s been that way for over 30…
Weeks after the Miami Dolphins were announced as the host team for the first-ever regular season game in Spain next season, the NFL announced this week that the Los Angeles Rams would do the same for the first-ever game in Melbourne, Australia, in 2026. So, naturally, the first instinct is to look at the list of Rams opponents for that 2026 season, and it currently does not include the Dolphins — though it could, and for a game where the Rams would be the home team. Based on the NFL’s scheduling formula, the NFC teams will get the ninth home…
If there’s one thing we learned about Detroit Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone this season, it’s that the defense just flat-out works better with him on the field. He’s a key piece of this team and is likely to continue to be a key piece of this team in 2025, but because he’s so important, the Lions should feel the need to take care of him this offseason and he’s more than likely hoping that they will. Anzalone is under contract for the 2025 season, but he has no guarantees left on his contract and he’s kind of just hanging out…
ALLEN PARK — The Detroit Lions are adding another former player to their staff, with ESPN reporting they are hiring longtime NFL backup quarterback Bruce Gradkowski as an offensive assistant. Gradkowski spent a decade-plus bouncing around the league with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, St. Louis Rams, Cleveland Browns, Oakland Raiders, Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has not coached at the NFL level but got his feet wet at the high school level before spending a year at his alma mater of Toledo as an offensive analyst in 2022. Gradkowski has most recently served as the offensive coordinator for…
The Detroit Lions, coming off a 15-2 campaign and divisional-round playoff loss, have a busy offseason of themselves. In order to take the next step as an organization, they must address multiple areas of need, including at EDGE. Detroit struggled all of 2024 to get after the quarterback on a consistent basis. Outside of Aidan Hutchinson with his 7.5 sacks, no Lions defender recorded five sacks. Trade deadline acquisition Za’Darius Smith came the closest to the five-sack plateau, with four sacks in eight games as a member of the Lions. Smith proved to be a decent addition made by Detroit…
