data-mm-id=”_xf5vlm803″>The Arizona Cardinals are a bad football team and there are a ton of questions about the long-term outlook for the franchise, but they did something remarkable on Sunday. While facing the Philadelphia Eagles, Arizona was going toe-to-toe with one of the NFL's best teams. In the third quarter, Kyler Murray and James Conner combined for the coolest touchdown of the 2023 season. The play came as the Cardinals trailed 21-13 and faced a first-and-goal from Philadelphia's 5-yard line. Murray took the snap and dropped back. He was immediately under pressure and escaped the grasp of defensive end Josh Sweat. Sweat had both hands on him, but Murray shook him off and dropped back again. Then unleashed a high-arching lob to running back Josh Conner. Conner reache…

It's an incredibly funny development. On Wednesday's episode of ESPN's First Take, Chris "Mad Dog" Russo was not laughing about it, he was yelling. And it was entertaining as hell. Russo pointed out the sheer absurdity of the situation. He also hit on something many have ignored: Rodgers is addicted to being in the news and talked about. If he has the chance he's going to draw this out as long as possible, when he should just say, "I'm the quarterback of the New York Jets" and end the ridiculous speculation.Here's what Mad Dog had to sa…

For the 35-year-old, this latest deal adds to an already illustrious career and a series of big-money contracts. However, Williams revealed that it wasn’t the financial negotiations that drove him back to the field. Rather, it was the near-death experience of his teammate, Ricky Pearsall, that inspired his return. Pearsall, shot in the chest during a robbery attempt on August 31, became a catalyst for Williams to reconsider his position. “Honestly, to be real, I felt compelled to come back after that, more than anything,” Williams told reporters. "I’ve never experienced some…

Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has a verbal agreement that he can leave for £80m or over amid interest from Arsenal and Man City, according to reports.

The Magpies were brilliant under Eddie Howe last season as the Englishman guided them to the Champions League in a memorable campaign.
