This season is no different; in fact the curiosity factor has been dialed up by a couple of notches since HBO announced in June that the Oakland Raiders will feature on the annual training camp reality series. The Raiders look tailor-made for a TV series in more ways than one this season. Head coach Jon Gruden begins the second of his 10-year contract, as the franchise prepares to bid goodbye to Oakland ahead of its relocation to Las Vegas next season....

No team has appeared on “Hard Knocks” three times until now the Cowboys, who also were featured in the 2002 and ‘08 editions. A lot has changed for the franchise in the 13 years since the most recent appearance, but there’s no question Jerry Jones’ team remains America’s most polarizing team. So long Quincy Carter and Emmitt Smith. Goodbye Pacman Jones and Felix Jones. The new stars from Oxnard to “The Star” are now headlined by Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott....

One of the clubs have stolen a march on the competition, though. All the latest transfer rumours Bundesliga outfit Werder Bremen have taken to social media to confirm the signing of the Spurs and England striker. Kind of. At the very least, their social team have attempted a tongue-in-cheek play in reference to the ‘hurricane’ hurling around the Weser-Stadion, much to the joy of their pun-loving followers. Rather than bashing their club for getting their hopes up, though, users took time to come up with their own play on Kane’s name....

The reigning Premier League champions have hit a wobble of late, with back-to-back defeats against Bournemouth and Watford seeing uncomfortable questions asked of all concerned. Much of the criticism and pressure has been piled on Antonio Conte, with the Italian coach facing intense speculation regarding his future. He has, however, been forced to contend with unfortunate injuries, such as one to £70 million frontman Alvaro Morata, and tweak his tactical approach accordingly....

Brazil star Neymar has been repeatedly linked with a Camp Nou return over the past six months, with PSG digging in during the Ligue 1 close season to ensure he stayed in Paris. An astonishing move to the French giants in August 2017 saw Neymar bought out of his Barcelona contract for a world-record €222million, and PSG hoped he would lead them to Champions League glory. Only this week, Neymar said he felt the longed-for European glory remained a possibility this season, and he has seen off much of the hostility from Parisian supporters that followed several months of appearing to agitate for a return to Barca....

The 37-year-old recently recalled how a young Bumrah made his debut for Gujarat when he was the captain. Patel was highly impressed with the way Bumrah used to plan his wickets and that was enough for the-then Gujarat captain to understand that the pacer had a great cricketing brain. India lost the one-off Test against England when Jasprit Bumrah led the team last month. However, in a video on his YouTube channel, Parthiv Patel explained why he felt Bumrah could be India’s future full-time captain:...

Ibrahimovic continued his brilliant campaign at United with the winning goal in a 3-2 victory against Southampton in the EFL Cup final on Sunday. Where would United be without Zlatan? The Swede has delivered repeatedly for Jose Mourinho’s men, his latest effort an 87th-minute header to complete his brace and seal United’s victory at Wembley. Neville, a club great, believes Ibrahimovic provides the confidence United need, and had when Cantona starred at Old Trafford in the 1990s....

The future looks dark for abject Arsenal The defender cancelled out Dries Mertens’ opener in the last-16 second-leg clash with a strong header that proved to be too much for goalkeeper Pepe Reina early in the second half. He found the net a second time just minutes later via a deflection off Mertens to effectively end Napoli’s hopes of causing a surprise, although his second strike was eventually attributed to the Belgium international, with Alvaro Morata scoring late on as Madrid progressed 6-2 on aggregate....

At 6-foot-1, both are small guards who bring defense and shooting to the table. Both have previously been associated with the Lakers. Schroder was part of the Lakers during the 2020-21 season, and Beverley was drafted by the team in 2009. ESPN’s Stephen A.

Although there are no concrete facts in the podcast and the host of the show, fictitious journalist Benjamin Giraud, is still examining conflicting records and interviews, we have to offer a potential spoiler warning here. The very first lines of episode two, Bad Records, contain what might be a major spoiler. If you’d rather wait for the Halo 5’s October release to hear this bombshell, you’ll want to stop reading here....

As so often happens with shows “based on a true story,” some details have been changed for dramatic purposes—or left out entirely. The true story of Halston’s boyfriends Andre Basil The Netflix show begins around the time that Halston became an international fashion star, after Jackie Kennedy wore one of his pillbox hats to her husband’s presidential inauguration in 1961. This means we do not get a glimpse of Halston’s years as an up-and-coming designer or see the man described as one of his first lovers in the biography Simply Halston by Steven Gaines—celebrity hairstylist Andre Basil....

The Blues slipped out of the Premier League’s top four after goals from Romelu Lukaku and Jesse Lingard earned United the points following Willian’s opener.

One of the stories narrated by Nurmagomedov suggests that he was far more ferocious during his late teenage years than he is now. During his appearance on The MMA Road Show in 2015, ‘The Eagle’ threw light on a brawl that took place in a supermarket. Detailing the incident, Khabib Nurmagomedov said he and four of his friends once paid a visit to a supermarket in his hometown. The security guard in the lobby was aggravated when one of them got hold of a perfume and started spraying it....

Wilshere is out of contract at the end of the season and the Englishman is no closer to extending his time at the Emirates Stadium, with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger revealing there has been no progress in negotiations. The 26-year-old – who emerged from Arsenal’s youth ranks in 2008 – has been linked with various clubs, including Milan and Serie A champions Juventus.
