At long last, after a grueling summer of seemingly daily press conferences and a failed superstar receiver trade and another frisky-turned-.500 Red Sox season, the 2024 New England Patriots season is a real thing that’s actually happening this weekend. We made it. One little catch: it’s easy to say in April that the plan, in theory, is to start Jacoby Brissett at quarterback, let Drake Maye get the redshirt year that anecdotally is the secret sauce to getting our very own Patrick Mahomes, or at the very least our very own Jordan Love, and take this season as a grueling-but-necessary…
When Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah spoke after the Reds 3-0 win over Manchester United last weekend, the Egyptian outlined that it would be his final season on Merseyside.

Retirement usually marks the point in a soccer player’s life when they tend to wind down after years of sacrifice and physical and mental exhaustion, but that’s not the case for one of the Reds’ most legendary goalkeepers. Etched into Liverpool history for his role as the penalty shootout hero in Istanbul, Jerzy Dudek has chased the adrenaline rush in his post-soccer life. The 2005 Champions League winner hung up his gloves in 2011 at Real Madrid, before returning to make his Poland national team farewell in 2013. Dudek’s career switch saw him able to live out his second passion…
Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen appears to have predicted Manchester City will finish fourth this season. Last term, City won its fourth consecutive Premier League title, with Pep Guardiola’s side on the hunt to a win a record breaking fifth this term in what could be the Spaniard’s final season at the Etihad. Arsenal once again pushed City close, finishing second, while Liverpool finished third after its title charge collapsed down the stretch last season. And in surprising fashion, Aston Villa rounded out the top four last season, beating out the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Newcastle United and Tottenham…
Luis Suarez has revealed what he told Darwin Nunez after the Liverpool striker was handed a five-game international ban. The 25-year-old was sanctioned by CONMEBOL after confronting supporters following Uruguay’s semi-final defeat to Colombia at this summer’s Copa America. Nunez has been forced to miss the September international break as a result after the start of his suspension, and will sit out 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay and Venezuela. This means he will also miss Suarez’s last ever international appearance after the former Liverpool striker confirmed his retirement from Uruguay duty at an emotional press conference earlier this week.…
Mohamed Salah is deemed irreplaceable at Liverpool but at some point the club is going to have to find his successor. The Egyptian has entered the final 12 months of his current deal at Anfield and is yet to agree to fresh terms with the Reds, meaning an exit on a free transfer remains likely as things stand. Those fears were only realized further when the 32-year-old directly said after the win over Manchester United that this is his final year at Liverpool. He also said that last Sunday’s 3-0 success was his last trip to Old Trafford for the…

Winger Oluwaseyi Babajide Ojo, better known as Sheyi Ojo, came through the ranks at Milton Keynes Dons before securing a move to Liverpool for a reported fee of £2 million at just 14 years old. Shortly after joining the Anfield club, Ojo went out on loan to Wigan Athletic and Wolverhampton Wanderers before being handed his Premier League debut by Jurgen Klopp in March 2016, during a 3-2 defeat away at Southampton. There was a lot of hype surrounding Ojo but the winger never truly lived up to those expectations. Loan spells followed at the likes of Fulham, Stade de…
While not quite as entertaining as Liverpool’s latest demolition of Manchester United on the pitch, the heated exchange between Sky Sports pundits Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville off it wasn’t a bad sideshow.
