Report: NFL views Detroit Lions engaged in ‘deception and gamesmanship’ Despite former NFL coaches and many pundits expressing the Detroit Lions were on the wrong end of the one of the most egregious calls in league history, there are reportedly no current plans to change how linemen report as eligible. According to Pro Football Talk, “Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the NFL does not plan to change the procedure for players reporting as eligible. The league views the situation as an effort by the Lions to engage in deception and gamesmanship that backfired.” Former NFL Vice President of Officiating Dean Blandino…
After Shohei Ohtani agreed to his mammoth $700 million contract, the largest contract in MLB history, where do Philadelphia Phillies starting pitchers land on the scale of biggest contracts in history? Aaron Nola’s recently signed deal comes in as the 13th-largest contract ever given to a starting pitcher, per Spotrac. If you filter the results to currently active players, he moves up to sixth — not too shabby. But what about the Phillies as an organization?

Leeds United boss Daniel Farke is certain that Pascal Struijk’s latest injury will not keep him out of action for long and hopes the defender might even be available against Birmingham City. Struijk has become a mainstay of Farke’s back four, taking on a huge deal of responsibility when it comes to Leeds’ passing game and forming a solid partnership with Joe Rodon. Farke has also handed the 24-year-old the captain’s armband on a dozen occasions, with club skipper Liam Cooper not in the side. Prior to Friday night’s defeat at West Bromwich Albion Struijk had missed just one game this season…

Fresh off a championship, the 2022-23 Warriors never looked like a serious threat to defend their title for any significant stretch of games. While there were flashes, there were also steps backwards that showed how far the team was from being a true contender. This showed itself in Golden State’s second round loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, a series they only reached due to Steph Curry’s heroics in the opening round against the Sacramento Kings.
