Okorafor’s deadline to return to the Patriots after being placed on the left squad list has passed, meaning he cannot return to the team this season. Okorafor was placed on the exempt/left squad list on Saturday. Since five days have passed, he’s been moved to the reserve/left squad list. He does not take up a spot on the Patriots 53-man roster, and his contract will toll. If Okorafor decides to return to football, it would need to be with the Patriots unless they release him. Patriots-Jets injury report: Pats get bad news before Thursday Night Football Okorafor started the Patriots’…
The New England Patriots and New York Jets renew their rivalry on “Thursday Night Football” to kick off Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season. The latest installment of the longstanding rivalry will look quite different than we’ve seen in the past. Thursday night more or less marks the home debut — or should we say, re-debut — for Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The four-time MVP technically made his first appearance in a New York uniform last season at MetLife Stadium, but that lasted just a handful of plays before he tore his Achilles and his season ended. The Jets,…
Both Tom Brady and Bill Belichick began new careers in the media this year. The former New England Patriots coach has a slew of gigs including being a recurring guest on the “ManningCast,” “The Pat McAfee Show” and having his own show, “Coach With Bill Belichick” on Underdog Fantasy. The 72-year-old also co-hosts the “Let’s Go!” podcast. Belichick — who was known for his short, straightforward answers when dealing with the media during his time as Patriots coach — has shown a bit of personality during his appearances. He’s used humor and experience to draw some positive reviews from around…
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has opened up on not winning the Premier League in his career, despite a few very close attempts. For a period, the Reds continually fell short behind Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea. It was a time of real quality and strength in the English top-flight as all four sides were often among the final few teams in the UEFA Champions League. Carragher saw his side go close in the league in the 2008/09 campaign as they fell four points short, losing just two games. They went even closer in 2014 a season after he retired…
After a difficult weekend, Tuesday’s win over AC Milan has brought the good vibes back at Liverpool. The Reds suffered a shock defeat to Nottingham Forest last weekend in what was the first blow of the new regime. Liverpool will still have to put that right on Saturday as Bournemouth come to Anfield, but the nature of the victory in Milan has restored confidence in Arne Slot. In truth, it is unlikely to have gone anywhere, anyway. Results like the one against Forest will never be accepted at Liverpool, but they may have to be anticipated to some degree this…
One former Liverpool player has admitted that he may have left the club with indecent haste in an honest reflection on his time at Anfield. Luis Alberto was officially on the Reds’ books for three years but only spent one season on Merseyside (2013/14) as he was loaned out twice before a permanent move to Lazio in 2016. Now playing with Al-Duhail in Qatar, the 31-year-old spoke at length to Cronache di Spogliatoio about his career, reflecting on his time with LFC, for whom he made just a dozen appearances but was eternally grateful to one particulary illustrious teammate. Alberto…
Former Liverpool star Sepp van den Berg criticised his old club after making a move to Brentford last month. The 22-year-old joined the Reds from PEC Zwolle in 2019 but only managed to make four appearances in five seasons for Jurgen Klopp’s team. After loan stints at Preston North End, Schalke and Mainz, Van den Berg was eager to leave Anfield permanently at the beginning of the summer. He accused the club of neglecting him and complained that Liverpool were pricing him out of a move by setting their asking price at £20million. Brentford secured the defender’s signature for £19.35m…
Liverpool enjoyed a terrific night of Champions League football on Tuesday as they beat AC Milan 3-1. The Reds had missed being in Europe’s premier competition having finished a disappointing fifth in 2022/23. That was the first time Jurgen Klopp had failed to steer Liverpool into the Champions League during a full season in charge at Anfield. And, unfortunately, Klopp’s final tie of what was an excellent record in the tournament will remain the slightly embarrassing 6-2 aggregate defeat at the hands of Real Madrid in 2023. Nevertheless, a new era is underway and Arne Slot has Liverpool looking good…
Jamie Carragher has named two current Liverpool players in his all-time greatest XI and says one more could potentially make the cut in the future. Carragher, 46, is one of the most loyal servants in Liverpool’s 132-year history, with the defender second on the all-time appearance list for the Merseyside club – having played 737 times for the Reds. Only legendary midfielder Ian Callaghan (840) has made more appearances for the club. During his time with Liverpool, boyhood Everton fan Carragher won the Champions League as well as two FA Cups, three League Cups and the UEFA Cup. But he…
Jamie Carragher nearly hung up his boots halfway through his last season with Liverpool, until Brendan Rodgers gave him a legendary goodbye. The gutsy ex-defender, who racked up nearly 750 appearances for the Reds and sits ahead of even Steven Gerrard on their all-time list of appearance-makers, had decided that the 2012/13 season would be his last, having been with the club since he was nine years old. However, as the season progressed, and the defender began to feel red-faced about not being a regular starter as his time at Liverpool drew to an end, he toyed with the idea…
