AP Photo Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen jogs off the field after a game against the New England Patriots on Sunday in Foxborough, Mass. ORCHARD PARK — Marriage, fatherhood and an NFL MVP honor were the furthest things on Josh Allen’s mind when he arrived in Buffalo as a raw but promising quarterback prospect in April 2018. “Envisioning it? I was just trying to figure out protections and how to throw the ball correctly,” Allen said Wednesday with a laugh, reflecting on his rookie year as a first-round draft pick out of Wyoming. “We’ve come a long way.” He could…

The noise around Milos Kerkez has quietened in recent weeks.Liverpool’s summer-signing left-back has been under significant scrutiny since his arrival from Bournemouth for around £40million ($53.6m at the current rate), due to displays that frequently ranged from erratic to just bad, and which prompted calls for title-winning veteran Andrew Robertson’s return to the starting XI.When Robertson was reinstated, Liverpool promptly secured back-to-back victories against Aston Villa and Real Madrid, which did not help Kerkez’s cause. Neither did former Manchester United and England full-back Gary Neville saying on his podcast that the 22-year-old Hungary international looked like a “youth-team player” during…

A little more than six weeks into the 2025-26 MLB offseason, no division has been more active than the AL East. The defending American League champion Blue Jays added Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce, and Tyler Rogers. The Orioles brought in Pete Alonso, Ryan Helsley, and Taylor Ward. The Rays imported Steven Matz and Cedric Mullins. The Red Sox traded for Sonny Gray and Johan Oviedo. Then there’s the Yankees, who, to date, have added one player to the 40-man roster from outside the organization: Cade Winquest, their Rule 5 Draft pick. That’s a very small move that may (likely will)…

Do a deep dive on the current state of Kentucky basketball and one of the first things you’ll see is that the headlines are far worse than the analytics. The Wildcats are 7-4 and have been booed off the floor at times, but they actually are the 19th best program in the country according to KenPom.com. They have a top-20 defense and a top-40 offense, all while playing without Jaland Lowe for stretches and without Jayden Quaintance at all.  Still, that is not what the expectations were coming into the season. Kentucky reportedly had the highest payroll in college basketball.…

Cleveland Browns defensive stalwart Myles Garrett is staring down the NFL’s single-season sack record. He’s poised to break it at some point over the final three games of his 2025 campaign. But if you ask Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, that mark will be reset in 2026: by Micah Parsons, who suffered a season-ending ACL tear during a loss to the Denver Broncos last weekend.”Just wait till you guys see how hard he works to come back, how fast he probably comes back,” Hafley told reporters on Wednesday. “If I were a betting man, I would bet that…
