Mikel Arteta has said failing to maintain his "great" relationship with Pep Guardiola amid a title race would set a "bad example" for sport and instead pointed to the respectful rivalry between tennis legends Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. The pair first met at Barcelona's La Masia academy when Arteta was just 15 years old and he later worked under Guardiola at Manchester City for three seasons prior to becoming Arsenal boss in 2019.
Likewise, when our beloved boys set foot on the hallowed gridiron, we would never indulge in the "tush push." The game of football is about handing off the pigskin to the halfback and hitting the A gap made by the big hogs in the trenches. It's not about having a thousand pounds of man flesh get behind you and push you straight forward through everything in front of you, and you're carrying the ball, and then you get the yards.
FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- Colorado State quarterback Darius Curry and offensive lineman Liam Wortmann have been suspended for the Rams' final regular-season game for spitting on Boise State players during the second half of Saturday night's game in Boise, Idaho.

For those guys to do that, it's incredible. They're trying to win a World Series, but they understand that this is - life is bigger than baseball, and baseball's just a game. For them to do that with the stakes - where we were at with the stakes, hat's off to them, and I want them to know that we appreciate 'em. Regardless of what happens tonight, we appreciate what they did.
I let down my teammates, coaches, family and all of Gator Nation. Our coaches always instill in us the value of sportsmanship and I crossed the line. I also want to apologize to South Florida. That's not the person or player I strive to be. I made a terrible mistake and it won't happen again.
Inter Miami's heavy loss to the Seattle Sounders could have been the story, but a chaotic postgame marked by Luis Suarez spitting at a member of the Sounders ensured the night would be remembered for all the wrong reasons. The South Florida side suffered an ugly 3-0 defeat in the Leagues Cup final at Lumen Field in Seattle on Sunday that was compounded by a postgame brawl that immediately went viral.
Everyone said that it was bad behavior. And it was also very hypocritical. She's not known to have sportsmanship, doesn't have the best code of conduct. So to try and call me out on something that you don't even do yourself is crazy. I spoke to several players about it, but I'm not that kind of person to keep drama going. I'm very clear as to where I stand and how I feel about the situation.
Usyk held three fingers on his right hand high in the air to signify his intention to become a three-time undisputed world champion, underlining his determination to defeat Dubois on Saturday night.
When Marte returned to the game, and was up at bat, the White Sox displayed the message "The White Sox Community Supports Ketel Marte," which elicited thunderous applause from the audience.
"To be honest, in the beginning, when there were only six of us, I was doubting a bit, but the motivation was super-high today."
