News of the deal will surely come as a relief to Birmingham fans who will be craving some stability after the dismissal of Gary Rowett.  The 42-year-old was heralded as one of the most promising young English managers before parting company with the club.  Having been replaced by Gianfranco Zola at least now it appears the club have a set plan in place for the transfer window.

We are less than a month away from the 2024 MLB Draft and things are starting to come into focus. The top 8-9 prospects in the draft are pretty well established even if the exact order that they will be picked is up in the air and we are starting to see the same names overall in consideration in the first round. For the Atlanta Braves who pick at #24, it would normally be true that they would be resigned to get their board ready and just react to what happens ahead of them on day one of the draft. However, a…

Key battle: Left tackle | More than any teammate, first-round pick Tyler Guyton will battle the legacy of former All-Pro tackle Tyron Smith, who signed with the New York Jets in free agency in the offseason. With just 70 snaps at left tackle with Oklahoma, Guyton is no sure thing because Pro Bowl guard Tyler Smith started 17 games at left tackle in 2022. NEW YORK GIANTS | Rookies report: July 16 | Veterans: July 23 (Quest Diagnostics Training Facility, East Rutherford, N.J.) Key battle: Tight end | With the retirement of Darren Waller, Daniel Bellinger and fourth-round pick Theo Johnson have…

Lyon captain and talismanic striker Alexandre Lacazette (33) has decided to stay with Les Gones for what will be his final contract year, according to a report from L’Equipe. The former Arsenal centre-forward was pondering whether to remain with his formative club or succumb to the riches on offer from Saudi Arabia. The outlet understands that Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah FC were ready to reward Alexandre Lacazette with a two-year contract worth €30m. Besides, Lyon would not have prevented Alexandre Lacazette from leaving, considering the Ligue 1 club would have received a transfer fee. Nevertheless, Le Général has opted to remain at Lyon, where…

Amid the chaos and celebration following Game 5 of the NBA Finals, Jaylen Brown found Luka Doncic on the court to give some sky-high praise to the Dallas Mavericks star. Brown was mic’d up for the Boston Celtics’ series-clinching win in Game 5, allowing the NBA to capture the moment the two stars embraced on the court moments after the series ended. “Luka, you’re a killer. You got the best out of me. I love you, bro,” Brown said in a video posted to the NBA’s YouTube channel. I love you too, bro,” Doncic said in response. Doncic is the engine that drove Dallas’ run to…

I had a medical incident recently that briefly robbed me of my speech. For me, losing my words is like the great dancer Shakira finding out she needs hip-replacement surgery. It happened. I would end up — days after my 75th birthday — with my first night in a hospital. It was the last day of March. I sat in my recliner munching my Honey Nut Cheerios. I had forgotten to tell my wife, Karen, something, so I rose, bowl in hand, to find her. I wanted to say this: “Alison (our daughter) called earlier. She got her car fixed,…

GM Andrew Berry even brought in former Ohio State Buckeyes star, and former third-round pick, Wyatt Davis after the completion of mandatory minicamp. As competition heats up, a few of Berry’s recent draft picks were listed as a part of complicated Browns roster decisions between veterans and young players: Second-year defensive end Isaiah McGuire should make the team as the fifth pass rusher, but neither McGuire nor 2023 third-round defensive tackle Siaki Ika played much as rookies. Luke Wypler will compete with Dunn, Brian Allen and potentially Germain Ifedi for a backup interior offensive line job. It is also noted that this year’s draft class has…
