Allen was perhaps an option at shortstop for Atlanta coming into 2025, but not the option. The highly-regarded defender provided the team insurance up the middle for the struggling Arcia and the returning-from-injury second baseman Ozzie Albies. If Atlanta had upgraded the shortstop position prior to Spring Training, it was possible Allen would have been squeezed off the roster. However, he was expected to fill an end-of-the-bench role while providing exceptional defense when on the field.
"Yeah, a little fired up there," he said. "I've done it before a couple times. Just thought that was the play, and was lucky enough for it to go in. Definitely was fired up. Wasn't too happy when they scored on their power play. I let a seam pass go through and they found the next seam, so I tried to get one back there, and found a way to get the extra."
PHILADELPHIA -- Coach Nick Sirianni has been more involved in the offensive preparations this week, according to team sources, as the Eagles look to bounce back Monday night at the Los Angeles Chargers. Sirianni has been more vocal in offensive meetings and has been presenting material alongside offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, sources said. According to one source, he has been addressing the group for longer than usual at the top of the meetings before ceding to Patullo, who continues to run them.
The Warriors used to be the greatest show on hardwood. Night after night, they were doing a genre-pushing, never-before-seen live improv set a blur of movement and mouthguard chewing and some of the most ridiculous and beautiful basketball that went beyond the realm of even your wildest imaginations. Man, were they fun. But that is not a word I would use to describe this year's Warriors. No, these Warriors are doing something laboriously, painfully joyless. What a slog.
Before the season, Morton was given the tall task of following previous coordinator Ben Johnson in the role. Johnson, who took the head coaching job with the Chicago Bears in the offseason, had helped turn the Lions into one of the NFL's top offenses over his three years in charge -- helping the unit top the league in points (30.15 per game), offensive efficiency and first downs the past two seasons.
I'll leave that for everybody else to decide. I'll just focus on the day-to-day ... I feel like you're always coaching for everything in this league, you know? That's just my mindset. It's always been that way. You can't ever exhale. You got to always be pushing. That's just my mindset and that will be my mindset 'til they tell me not to coach anymore.
It was a good season for the Reds in 2025, on balance. Hunter Greene replicated his excellent 2024 andcemented himself one of the game's top young starters, Andrew Abbott enjoyed a career-year that saw him make his first trip to the All-Star game, and despite winning just 83 games the club managed to squeak into the postseason for the first time in a full season since 2013.
It was a disappointing season, though Kansas City really performed rather admirably considering that they got just 13 starts out of staff ace Cole Ragans while found himself sidelined for the second half by an injury of his own. While health in the rotation helped to sink the team this year, it's possible that the team's deep arsenal of starters could help them reinvent the team on the trade market as they look ahead to 2026.
All things considered, it was a solid year for the Yankees even if it didn't live up to the perennial World-Series-or-bust expectations of their fans. Despite Gerrit Cole not throwing a single pitch for the team this year and signing elsewhere last winter, they managed to win 94 games thanks to a few key additions like and Cody Bellinger, big steps forward from and Trent Grisham, and another MVP-caliber campaign from Aaron Judge.
Stefanski on Monday said he will call plays in Sunday's Week 7 home game against the 1-5 Miami Dolphins ( 1 p.m. ET, CBS). "I'm going to keep calling plays," Stefanski said, "but I want to stress that we have to get better in so many areas and that includes coaching, that includes how we teach our guys, how we put them in different formations, the ways you run the ball, ways you pass the ball. All the above."
While we are committed to a patient and strategic plan to build a sustainable, winning football program, we have not demonstrated sufficient growth, Brinker said in a statement. Our players, fans, and community deserve a football team that achieves a standard we are not currently meeting, and we are committed to making the hard decisions necessary to reach and maintain that standard.
