The Arizona Cardinals are fining coach Jonathan Gannon $100,000 for his sideline interaction with running back Emari Demercado during Sunday’s 22-21 loss to the Tennessee Titans, NFL Media reported on Tuesday. Gannon will face no further action from the league.
“We have been in contact with the NFLPA, and the club which addressed the matter. There is no further action from the league,” the league said in a statement.
After entering the fourth quarter with a 21-6 lead over Tennessee, Demercado burst through the Titans’ defense and was well on his way toward scoring a 72-yard touchdown. However, Demercado dropped the ball before he crossed the goal line. The ball went out of the end zone, resulting in a touchback and possession for Tennessee.
Cardinals’ Jonathan Gannon says he apologized to Emari Demercado for outburst following backbreaking fumble

Cameras captured Arizona’s coach ripping into Demercado and appearing to make contact with the running back on the sideline after the play.
On Monday, the day after the loss, Gannon apologized for the incident.
“Yeah, I woke up this morning and didn’t feel great about it, honestly,” Gannon said. “So in the team meeting I addressed it. I apologized to Emari, apologized to the team and I just told them I kind of let the moment of what happened get the better of me there.
“Obviously, I try to be emotionally stable and calm because my job is to solve problems during a game, and kind of lead the charge on that. So it’s not really who I am, who I want to be, and I told the guys that today. So it’s a mistake by me andit’s just like everybody in there, everybody made some type of mistake yesterday, which culminates to why we didn’t win the game, and we can’t let it happen moving forward.”
Demercado’s fumble began a chain of events that led to a brutal loss for the Cardinals, who are now 2-3 with three consecutive losses coming via a field goal on the last play of the game. The Cardinals started the 2025 campaign with back-to-back wins over the New Orleans Saints and the Carolina Panthers. Arizona faces the Indianapolis Colts on the road in Week 6.
Gannon is the first NFL coach fined for an altercation with a player since Bruce Arians, then with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was hit with a $50,000 fine for an incident with safety Andrew Adams.

Biatlonové exhibice v Mnichově se zúčastní Hornig či Krčmář, Davidová chybí
„Holkám svědčí trénink ve výšce, takže jsme se teď rozhodli tým rozdělit. Markéta byla po posledním kempu dost unavená. A zatímco ostatní holky měly dovolenou, ona pokračovala blokem rehabilitací. I proto jsme teď upřednostnili trénink před dalšími závody. Prioritou je, aby byla zdravá na startu sezony,“ řekl trenér ženské reprezentace Lukáš Dostál.Muži jsou naopak v nejsilnějším složení. Nechybí ani 20. muž minulého ročníku Světového poháru Hornig či o devět míst níže umístěný Krčmář. „Je to sice exhibice, ale s těmi nejlepšími. Obvykle na podobných závodech startují rychlí střelci a exhibiční typy, ale tady budou skoro všichni. Bude to pro nás dobré porovnání,“ uvedl trenér mužů Michael Málek.Pro biatlonisty je exhibice i přípravou před novou sezonou. Po ní se přesunou na sníh do finského Vuokatti. „Garantují tam sníh už od 10. října. Nikde jinde v Evropě neumí v tuhle dobu tak dobře připravit tratě. My tam letíme až za týden, takže předpokládám, […]

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are still keeping a close eye on the WNBA’s CBA negotiations: These are the issues putting pressure on Cathy Engelbert
The 2025 WNBA season has concluded, crowning a new champion and shifting attention toward a critical offseason as the spotlight now centers on labor negotiations, with the current collective bargaining agreement expiring on October 31.Both commissioner Cathy Engelbert and the WNBPA aim for what they describe as a "transformational" deal. However, reports indicate the two sides remain apart on key economic and operational terms, raising concerns of a possible lockout.Indiana Fever could face a critical year in 2026Among the primary issues are player compensation and revenue sharing. Players want earnings tied directly to league growth rather than fixed figures, creating a dynamic structure similar to the NBA's basketball-related income model."The players are still adamant that we get a percentage of revenue that grows with the business," WNBPA president Nneka Ogwumike said.

Horner jedná s Ferrari. Má to ale háček, post šéfa stáje mu nestačí
„Horner je v diskusi s několika týmy. Zájem o něj projevilo Ferrari, vyjednávání jsou v plném proudu. To by byla parádní dohoda,“ uvedl Daily Mail. Italská stáj přitom teprve v červenci prodloužila smlouvu se současným bossem. Jenže od té doby se monopost SF-25 propadl do ještě větší průměrnosti.Piloti Charles Leclerc a Lewis Hamilton po Velké ceně Singapuru svorně prohlásili, že jejich auta, mírně řečeno, za nic nestojí. Že je Ferrari v daný moment až čtvrtou nejlepší stájí na roštu a do konce sezony se na tom nic nezmění. Pro tak ambiciózní značku je to bezesporu velká rána, když ani jeden jezdec nevidí světlo na konci tunelu.Červencovým podpisem nového kontraktu s Vasseurem se Ferrari samo dostalo do problémů.
