If the message from Luciano Spalletti before kickoff was to not make things as tricky against Cremonese on Monday night as they were back on the first day of November, it’s safe to say his Juventus squad took it to heart. In a major kind of way, too. Juventus didn’t just pick up three points […]

Did that feel like a 4-1 win? Not really, and not just because of the lateness of the final two goals. It might be a bit because of how long it’s been since Liverpool have won a game, but it did feel like more of a contest than you would want for a very strong […]
Chargers fans at one point probably thought that the 2024 season would be the only year with Jesse Minter as defensive coordinator after he led the Bolts to the league’s top scoring defense.
