Petkovic, ex-jogador (Reprodução/YouTube)
Petkovic foi desafiado pela ESPN a responder se atuou mais no futebol brasileiro do que outros craques estrangeiros que fizeram história em nossos gramados nos últimos anos.
O ex-meio-campista sérvio de 52 anos não foi nada modesto a se escolher em todos os duelos entre os principais jogadores estrangeiros que atuaram pelo Brasileirão.
Pet se colocou acima de nomes como Paolo Guerrero, Dario Conca, Andrés D’Alessandro, Carlos Tévez e Víctor Aristizábal.
Petkovic se comparou a Seedorf: “No Brasil joguei mais que ele”
Ao se considerar superior também a Seedorf durante a dinâmica, levou em consideração apenas a passagem do craque holandês pelo Botafogo em 2012 e 2013. “Foi melhor jogador [do que eu], mas não no Brasil”, observou o ex-comentarista da Globo.
Ao ser questionado se jogou mais do que Jorge Valdivia, o ex-camisa 10 do Flamengo e de outros times não viu o chileno ídolo do Palmeiras ser digno de integrar a enquete promovida pela ESPN.
“Eu fácil. O Conca e o D’Ale são muito bons, mas aí com Valdivia, ele não chega nos pés do D’Ale e do Conca”, opinou Pet, sobre o ídolo do Verdão.

Veja as trajetórias de D’Alessandro, Conca e Valdivia
Dario Conca inicialmente atuou pelo Vasco no Brasil em 2007, mas teria mais identificação com o Fluminense, onde foi vice-campeão da Libertadores em 2008.
Pelo Tricolor das Laranjeiras, foram duas passagens do camisa 10 argentino, se tornando campeão do Brasileirão em 2010. No Flamengo, teria seu desempenho prejudicado por lesões em 2017.
Já D’Alessandro marcou época no Internacional entre 2008 e 2022, levantando as taças da Copa Sul-Americana em 2008, da Libertadores de 2010, entre outras conquistas.
Por fim, Valdívia passou duas vezes pelo Palmeiras ganhando duas Copas do Brasil em 2012 e 2015, além de celebrar outros troféus.

Did Shedeur Sanders get drafted? Colorado QB shocks by falling past first three rounds of NFL Draft 2025
Getty Images It happened: Colorado's quarterback Shedeur Sanders completely fell out the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Whether he should have been considered a draft day snub was up for debate, but the fact that he was not selected in the first 102 picks through the third round of the draft is an absolute shocker for a player who, over the last two seasons, threw for 64 touchdowns and 13 interceptions while completing nearly 72% of his passes.Through the pre-draft process, it was tough to remember a more enigmatic, polarizing, mostly perceived-to-be top quarterback prospect than Sanders. Some draft analysts liked him; most firmly believed he belonged later in the first round of the draft. After a stellar albeit not dominant two-year stint at Colorado, Sanders was hardly made available after the season. He did not participate in the East-West Shrine Bowl, did […]
Alejandro Kirk comes through for Blue Jays: ‘I needed it, the team needed it’
Editor’s note: We’re thrilled to introduce Mitch Bannon as our Blue Jays beat writer. A native of Toronto, he previously covered the team for SI.com. This is his first story for The Athletic.NEW YORK — Opportunity hasn’t been Alejandro Kirk’s problem. The Blue Jays’ catcher has walked to the plate 27 times this season with a runner in scoring position, constantly a swing away from igniting an offense that badly needs a spark.AdvertisementTaking advantage of those chances has been the hard part. A month after signing a five-year, $58 million extension, Kirk entered Friday with just five RBI in the exact situations built for cashing in runs, with a man on second or third. He’d hit just .217 with runners in scoring position this year with a .544 OPS. On Friday, opportunity finally met execution.With a ninth-inning swing, Kirk came […]
2025 NFL Draft picks by college team, school: SEC, Big Ten separate from pack as Ohio State leads the way
Getty Images The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft was dominated by power conference schools, as the SEC and Big Ten were ubiquitous during Thursday night's action with 26 of the first 32 picks coming from the two most powerful conferences in the sport. That trend continued on Friday night during Day 2, as 21 more players from the SEC and Big Ten heard their names called in the 32 second-round picks. While not a surprise, it's a reminder of the direction college football is trending, as the transfer portal and the opportunity to cash in on NIL deals has made it far less likely that an NFL talent will make it through their junior year at a smaller program. In total, 66 of the 102 players selected in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft finished their collegiate careers […]
NFL Draft 2025: Here’s how much money Shedeur Sanders missed out on by not being drafted in first three rounds
Getty Images The story of the 2025 NFL Draft has to do with a player who hasn't even heard his name called yet. Former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, was expected to be a first-round pick, but instead went unselected in the first three rounds of the draft.The Pittsburgh Steelers passed on him multiple times, while the New York Giants, New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks and Cleveland Browns all selected different quarterbacks. Every player will be given the opportunity to compete whether they are a first-round pick or seventh-round pick, but their paychecks will be very different. For example, No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward is expected to sign a deal projected to be worth $48,757,500, according to Spotrac, while Tyler Shough, who was drafted 40th […]

However, Day 2 brought three more quarterbacks selected: Louisville's Tyler Shough went to the Saints at No. 40 in Round 2, Alabama's Jalen Milroe was selected by the Seahawks with the 92nd pick (Round 3), and Oregon's Dillon Gabriel was taken by the Browns with the 94th pick (Round 3).Want to know what I thought of every pick made in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft?

Luke Keaschall injury: Twins’ hot-hitting rookie suffers broken forearm
Matt Krohn Minnesota Twins promising rookie infielder/outfielder Luke Keaschall suffered a nondisplaced fracture in his right forearm on Friday, the club told reporters following the Twins' 11-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels. Keaschall suffered the injury when he was struck by a pitch from Kyle Hendricks in the first inning. Keaschall, in the lineup at DH, was able to run the bases after being hit on the arm, but he was pinch-hit for when his spot came up again in the bottom of the third. According to Twins dugout reporter Audra Martin, the club does not have a timetable for Keaschall's return. That the fracture is nondisplaced is a positive, but it still figures to be a lengthy absence for the 22-year-old. According to the Baseball Prospectus injury database, recovery time for forearm fractures tends to range from a bit […]
