Aaron Judge stuns teammates with big HR robbery

August 27, 2024 2 Comments

Aaron Judge already made his mark as the player with more homers than anyone else in the baseball. But him robbing home runs is certainly taking things to the next level. Judge stayed at 51 homers throughout Monday’s series opener at Washington, but that did not stop him from making a huge impact at the center-field wall. This one followed his glove, as Judge lurched to steal what would have been a game-tying home run by Andrés Chaparro in the fourth inning of New York’s 5-2 victory over the Nationals. “I was pretty pumped up about that one,” Judge said. Aaron Judge also secured career No.1,000, Gleyber Torres, Austin Wells and Jazz Chisholm Jr. all scored home runs. Nestor Cortes delivered 6 ⅔ innings of one-run ball as the Yankees maintained the AL’s top record by delivering another win in Juan Soto’s former ballpark. That victory extended New York’s lead at the American League East, two matches ahead of the Baltimore Orioles, their biggest since June 26. Judge drew a walk too before connecting for his 1,000th career hit, a single to the opposite field in the ninth. Aaron is the 42nd player in Yankees history to achieve this milestone, and the first since Brett Gardner did it in 2017.

Lothar Matthaus calls out Bayern Munich after De Ligt sale

August 27, 2024 No Comments

German football legend Lothar Matthaus has called out Bayern Munich for a transfer decision involving De Ligt. The former Bayern midfielder, who lost the 1999 Champions League final to Manchester United, complained about the Red Devils signing Matthijs De Ligt. Lothar felt that Bayern should have held on to the Dutch centre half. In his column for Sky Germany, Lothar wrote: “The defence is and remains Bayern’s Achilles’ heel. Matthijs de Ligt was sold, even though he was the most stable player over the last two years. “He was the head of defence. Now Bayern are again looking for a successor to David Alaba. “For me, it is a disgrace that this leader is missing.”

Goran Dragic retires from basketball in charity match with teammates, legends

August 26, 2024 No Comments

Goran Dragic, one of international basketball history’s underrated successes, retired from the sport with a charity match that featured legends and teammates who were close to him. The “Night of the Dragon,’’ which was held on Saturday in his home country Slovenia, was headlined by a match placing Dragic and few teammates against Slovenian star Luka Donic. Other players present were Steve Nash, Chris Bosh, Dirk Nowitzki, and Nikola Jokic. They honored Dragic’s last high-profile appearance on the basketball court. Proceeds from the charity game and adjacent contests were donated to the Botrstvo v sportu program of the Friends of Youth Foundation Ljubljana Moste-Polje and the Goran Dragic Foundation. Dragic also played against his brother, Zoran, whom he was briefly teammates with on the Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat in 2014-15. The evening closed with a mini-soccer match and on-court moments with family, including his son, father, and nephew. The Suns traded for Dragic’s rights after he was chosen 45th overall in the 2008 Draft. He shone as a substitute point guard behind Nash, before he was traded to Houston. His time at Houston was marked by a 23-point fourth quarter in Game 3 of the 2010 Western Conference semifinals against the San Antonio Spurs. He returned to Phoenix in 2012 through free agency, where he became the lead guard and won the award for 2013-14 Most Improved Player and All-NBA Third Team honors. Dragic took another step forward in his career when he joined the Miami Heat in 2015. The 6-foot-3 lefty led Slovenia to an unexpected and unprecedented championship at EuroBasket 2017. He was named an Eastern Conference All-Star the following season. Dragic also played a significant role in the Heat reaching the 2020 NBA Finals. He averaged between 16 and 21 points per match in five different seasons while playing 946 games. His 4,405 career assists place 97th all-time. The Slovenian basketball team retired Dragic’s No.3.

JuJu Smith-Schuster back to Chiefs after release from Patriots

August 26, 2024 No Comments

JuJu Smith-Schuster has returned to Kansas City. The former Super-Bowl- winning receiver signed with the Chiefs. Smith-Schuster led Kansas City wide receivers in 2022, scoring 933 yards on 78 catches with three touchdowns. He trails only Travis Kelce in yards and catches. JuJu signed a three-year contract with the New England Patriots last season but struggled with injuries and was inconsistent. He caught only 29 passes for 260 yards in 11 matches. New England released him earlier this month. With the dead money present in his release from the Patriots, Schuster’s deal with Kansas City is likely a minimum level one. The Chiefs have been battling Hollywood Brown’s shoulder injury, which could be why the added Smith-Schuster this late in the game. With Brown absent, the Chiefs have been working with Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson atop the depth chart. They may just want another veteran to the squad. This could also be because of Rice’s legal situation. Andy Reid’s team has conducted a battle for the last WR spots during training camp. Adding Smith-Schuster could determine if Skyy Moore, Kadarius Toney or Justyn Ross make the squad.

Predators trade Askarov to the Sharks

August 26, 2024 1 Comment

The San Jose Sharks traded Yaroslav Askarov to the Nashville Predators on Friday and signed a two-year, $4 million contract ($2 million average annual value). The contract starts with the 2025-26 season. “It’s a really big day for our franchise, I believe,” Sharks general manager Mike Grier said of acquiring the goalie. “… To have an opportunity to add him to our group is really exciting, and I think it kind of breathes some more positive energy into the group.” Nashville bought prospect David Edstrom, goalie prospect Magnus Chrona and a conditional first-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft (formerly acquired by San Jose from the Vegas Golden Knights). If that pick is in the top 10, San Jose will have to either transfer their first-round pick in the 2025 draft or the Golden Knights selection. San Jose also bought minor-league forward Nolan Burke and a third-round pick in the 2025 draft. Askarov could have been a restricted free agent after this season. “He’s in the fold, he’s all in, he’s excited to be here,” Grier said. Nashville chose Askarov with the No. 11 pick in the 2020 NHL Draft. He is 1-1-0 with a 2.58 goals against average and .914 save percentage in three matches over two seasons with the Predators. He was the top-rated European goalie in NHL Central Scouting’s final rankings for the 2020 draft and became the third Russia-born goalie in NHL history to be selected first at the position. He joins Ilya Samsonov (Washington Capitals, No. 22, 2015 NHL Draft) and Andrei Vasilevskiy (Tampa Bay Lightning, No. 19, 2012 NHL Draft). “We’ve talked about him kind of off and on over the whole year, probably,” Grier said. “… He’s obviously a super-talented goalie, and there’s not too many opportunities where you have the chance to go after a young goalie like this and add him to your group.” Grier said San Jose are confident Askarov can become a No. 1 goalie in the NHL because of his size (6-foot-3, 178 pounds) and athleticism, plus the way he handles the puck and read the game. “When you’re that size and you have the ability to anticipate and read plays and the athletic ability he has, I think it’s all about him just putting it all together,” Grier said. NHL Network’s Kevin Weekes reported that Askarov requested a trade. Nashville then released a statement on Monday from Barry Trotz saying the expectation was for him to report to training camp in September and compete for the position. Trotz while speaking to The Tennessean on Friday said that the Predators discussed privately with Askarov in recent weeks about trading him. Once that trade request became public it hastened the team’s timeline for doing that. “We talked about exploring some things, working together to see where this process would go through training camp,” Trotz told the newspaper. “But once it became public, it pushed to a different place in terms of the decision time.” The Predators have three other goaltenders on their roster: No. 1 goalie Juuse Saros, Matt Murray and Scott Wedgewood.

O’Shea confirms McKenna influence on Ipswich choice

August 26, 2024 No Comments

Ipswich Town have signed Burnley defender Dara O’Shea. He joined Ipswich for a £12m fee plus £3m in bonuses. “I’m really excited to sign for the club,” O’Shea told TownTV. “It was really hard not to pay attention to everything the team was able to achieve last season and to have the chance to join a club with such ambition and momentum was really attractive. “The manager (Kieran McKenna) was a huge part of why I wanted to come here and I’ve really admired what he and the team have done over the last couple of seasons, so at this stage of my career it’s the perfect time to make the move. “I want to play in the Premier League and test myself against the best players in the world, which is something I want to do for as long as possible, and I can’t think of a better place to do that. “I know quite a few of the lads in the squad and the style of play really suits me, where I can show my strengths and improve my weaknesses, so I’m looking forward to getting to work as soon as possible and being part of the culture.”

Van de Ven states Tottenham are “more dangerous this year” after Everton win

August 26, 2024 1 Comment

Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven believes in his team after defeating Everton over the weekend. He says his squad will be more dangerous this year. Van de Ven assisted Heung-min Son’s goal against Everton which helped the Spurs secure their first victory of the season. The defender praised his teammates, who he thinks have become more of a threat this campaign as they look to clinch their first trophy since 2008. “I think we are more dangerous this year,” Van de Ven said afterwards. “Like the gaffer has said, we can play down the side or through the middle, and two or three balls from Cuti (Romero) to Maddison were really dangerous. I think there are more threats from us this year. “We need to reach another level this season. Last year we were fifth, so it was a good season, but we want more. We want to win a trophy, that’s clear.” He also spoke on how Ange Postecoglou’s tactics allowed him to set up the goal after being allowed more freedom in his new role. “We have the possibility to do this, Ange gives us the possibility to do it and he’s never like, ‘The centre-backs have to stay behind’. I feel comfortable to play like this. “He trusts his defenders, and he trusts everybody in the team to do what they want to do, and it’s really important for us to feel that trust and have the confidence to do it.”
