“I think everybody's done a really good job of communicating the legacy of Bobby Cox in the last several days. There's been a lot of great stories,” said Weiss when he was asked about his thoughts on the whole situation. A lot of confirmation about what a great leader he was and the impact he had on so many people.
The firing of Brad Treliving just eight games before the season's end raises questions about the team's direction and the urgency for change within the organization.
Offensively, up and down our lineup, one through nine is a tough at-bat. Every single guy can throw a great at-bat at you. And when a team like that puts together quality at-bat after quality at-bat, it really wears a pitcher down.
That's not fun. You want to - you don't want to go home, but you want to be at home. You want to be in a home. And to play with that mindset is kind of tough. So just to be able to go to a home with a guy, and have your own room, and your own living room, and all that kind of stuff, I think it just helps out your play on the ice too.
Allegri put Milanello back at the centre of the entire sporting project from day one. He restored pre-match retreats whereby the players stay at the training complex before home games, as well as double training sessions and rules based on collegiality, like eating together. Allegri has fused all these aspects, transforming Milanello into a laboratory for recreating DNA, a sense of belonging, collective values and of course a tactical narrative capable of achieving the club's objectives.
I knew he had 10 before. He texted me asking if he could take it because I think he has worn it his entire career... When he asked there was no doubt that he could have it and I had to switch numbers.
While uncertainty hung heavy in the air, our small team was unusually open with each other. We talked candidly about the challenges, the personal toll, and what it might all mean for the business. Without setting out to do so, we had built a foundation of psychological safety-one that made navigating a global crisis far less stressful than it might have been otherwise.
He is not on social media so may not have seen another Premier League club poking fun at his clumsy attempt to trap a ball during Chelsea's Carabao Cup semi-final against Arsenal. Asked whether he had been working on his touch before Saturday's trip to Wolves, though, Rosenior was self-deprecating enough to reveal he has come in for stick from Chelsea's 18-year-old Brazilian winger, Estevao Willian. The lads have played it back to me on the video and we've had a laugh about it, he said.
As the time wound down and the Florida Panthers closed in on their second consecutive Stanley Cup, Panthers coach Paul Maurice huddled together his fourth line of left wing A.J. Greer, center Tomas Nosek and right wing Jonah Gadjovich. He told them they were going onto the ice for the final shift of the game. They were going to be the ones who get to celebrate first.
Shortly after the Cubs began celebrating the 10th anniversary of the longest title drought in professional sports, the Indiana Hoosiers captured a national football title with the first 16-0 record in modern history. With all due respect to those who said the Cubs winning is all was the last great American sports story, I think Curt Cignetti and his team might have something to say about that.
I only focus on what I can affect. There is a lot of noise. I know because I've been told and I'm not stupid, we want more good results but I focus on what I can see is actually working and we have to do more of that. I am very aware how the football world works. I know that we haven't got enough of the results we want.
NBA insider Zach Lowe doesn't believe the Miami Heat will express much interest in a trade for Ja Morant, no matter how much the fan base may want them to. In Lowe's words, while he believes the Heat will check in on Morant, he ultimately doesn't believe the team will aggressively pursue a deal. There are certainly a ton of factors at play here, but Lowe thinks that the Heat will ultimately pass on the opportunity to acquire Morant.
After introductory remarks by president and supervisory board chairman Herbert Hainer, Kasper introduced himself to those present, including CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen, board member for sport Max Eberl, sporting director Christoph Freund and Uli Hoeneß. "This is exactly what I've been looking forward to, and it feels like we'll be working here as a strong team over the next few years and developing momentum," said the 43-year-old.
They knew the expectation. The only thing that was different was who's running them out of the tunnel, and to be honest with you, I don't think the players give a damn who runs them out of the tunnel. They care about their plan. They care about being held accountable, and how they're going to prepare, and they care about people that care about them. That's been the message our players have created. I don't have s--- to say to anybody else.
I watched the 2025 Cowboys defense, and it was like owning a jacked-up 4×4 that still gets stuck in the mud. The potential was obvious, but the execution? That's where the wheels fell off. We saw penalties in critical moments, missed tackles that made me question defenders, communication busts on seemingly every play, and the thing that bothered me most, the team didn't lack talent.
Very important. I think that, within the club, in terms of professionalism, he's changed many things. He's instilled a certain German character. On the other hand, in day-to-day life, although these are details that aren't very visible from the outside, it's very family-oriented,
Retaliating on behalf of a teammate is hardly uncommon in the NFL. What made this different was how Williams volunteered to help Pili pay a potential league fine (he didn't receive one), and what the veteran was wearing when he did so -- a Seahawks-branded T-shirt that read "M.O.B. TIES." As in, "Mission Over Bulls---."
There's always a lot of white noise around an Ashes series but at the moment for England it must be overwhelming, not just given their performances in the first two Tests but because of the mid-tour break they've just been on, with assorted media and attention-seekers following them around the beaches of Noosa. I absolutely understand that Brendon McCullum's priority is to do what he believes is right for the team,
Minutes after the Oklahoma City Thunder's second loss of the season, some of the defending champions' veterans loudly and playfully chided injured rookie Thomas Sorber for failing to have towels in their lockers on time. They laughed while declaring that this failure to properly execute a rookie duty would result in Sorber having to "spin" when the team returned home, referring to a Wheel of Fortune-style device at the team's practice facility that is used to assign an additional chore.
Yeah, it's been tough, but ain't nobody wavering around here. It's all about mindset, and I think our minds have been right this whole time, but sometimes you go through things for certain reasons. It's cool. Everyone is going to kick you when you're down, but we're not going to be down for long. I can promise you that.
Alex Ovechkin is the greatest goal scorer in NHL history and one of the league's all-time greatest players. The 40-year-old legendary winger would seemingly have every reason to become aloof and withdrawn from his teammates, but he has done the complete opposite and continued to foster a winning environment with the Washington Capitals. Bruce Boudreau, who coached a much younger Ovechkin for parts of five seasons with the Capitals (2007-2012), has seen firsthand the impact The Great 8 has had on the club's culture.
