Former Steelers defensive end Chris Hoke says the recent surge of linebackers Payton Wilson and Patrick Queen stems from the Pittsburgh Steelers’ dominant defensive line.

No, Josh Kushner is not struggling to find money to buy the Lakers

Josh Kushner and Bob Iger have agreed in principle to buy the Los Angeles Lakers for $12.5 billion, and contrary to Bill Simmons’ recent podcast claim, they are not scrambling for billions of dollars. Sources cited by Front Office Sports and The Athletic say Kushian’s group is already attracting minority investors, with stakes offered starting at $250 million and strong demand for participation. The deal is expected to close within months, leaving Kushner as majority owner and Iger as a minority overseer of daily operations, with no financing hurdles in sight.

Arsenal and Man City monitor €40m Serie A star ahead of January window

Arsenal and Manchester City are both eyeing Juventus left‑back Andrea Cambiaso, a 26‑year‑old versatile defender who can also play right‑back or midfield. An exclusive 4‑4‑2 report says the Gunners see him as a potential January reinforcement, while Guardiola’s side also shows strong interest. Juventus, who have Cambiaso under contract until 2029, have set a price tag of €30‑40 million and have already turned down offers. Barcelona, Liverpool, United, Chelsea and Tottenham are also monitoring the player, meaning competition will be fierce if Arsenal moves forward.

Bill Simmons claims Josh Kushner is still $5‑6 billion short of the $12.5 billion price tag for the Los Angeles Lakers, noting that Bob Iger is only contributing a minimal $63 million. Simmons suggests the deal’s delays may be blamed on the Buss family while Kushner scrambles to attract extra investors, casting doubt on whether the sale will ever close. The podcast comments, made for a “Aggregate Me” segment, have sparked debate, with Bloomberg reporter Randall Williams citing sources that dispute Simmons’s figures and say extended timelines are typical for such mega‑deals.

The Phillies should emulate these two things from the world champion Brewers

The article argues that while the Phillies shouldn’t copy the Brewers wholesale, they can adopt two key tactics that helped Milwaukee win back‑to‑back 100‑win seasons and a World Series. First, the Phillies have replaced hitting coach Kevin Long with Peter Fatse (and added Joe Cronin) to shift toward a more patient, strike‑zone‑focused approach—mirroring Brewers coach Daniel Vogelbach’s philosophy that emphasized grinding at‑bats, low chase rates (Milwaukee’s 29.1% vs. Philly’s 34.8%) and manufacturing runs without relying on home runs. The piece highlights how this mindset contributed to Milwaukee’s offensive efficiency and suggests the Phils should emulate it.

Cowboys vs Cardinals: 3 causes for concern in Week 8

After a Monday night win over the Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys host the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, needing a victory to climb back to .500 and stay ahead of the Giants in the NFC East. The blog flags three worries: Coach Brian Schottenheimer’s chronic inconsistency—only one back‑to‑back win in 24 games and a recent loss to Carolina despite a three‑point edge; the Cardinals’ surprisingly potent air attack led by Jacoby Brissett, who tops the league with 282 attempts and has three‑touchdown games; and a historic 1‑8 record against Arizona since 2008, including a 27‑17 loss last season. These factors suggest the Cowboys face a tough test despite the Cardinals being a weaker opponent on paper.

Hansi Flick reveals Alejandro Balde’s big problem at Barcelona

Barcelona left‑back Alejandro Balde faces a tough season, slipping down the pecking order and struggling for confidence. Coach Hansi Flick confirmed Balde lacks the conviction to attack and press high, a key demand of the club’s style, ahead of Saturday’s LaLiga clash with Alavés. With defenders Eric García, Jules Koundé, Andreas Christensen and Xavi Esparta unavailable, Flick is juggling centre‑back options and may slot Frenkie de Jong into central defence. He is also expected to start Brian Farinas at right‑back, while Balde or João Cancelo could occupy the opposite flank. The article details Flick’s plans and Balde’s confidence issue.
