NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is expected to receive approval Wednesday from the 32 team owners on a contract extension, according to league sources.
Goodell’s current deal, which was last extended in 2023, is set to expire in 2027. If the approval goes through as expected, it will mark the fifth time the NFL’s compensation committee has extended Goodell. Before 2023, he previously re-upped with the league in 2009, 2012 and 2017.

Goodell, 66, has served as the league’s commissioner since 2006, succeeding Paul Tagliabue.
Since becoming commissioner, Goodell has helped finalize two collective bargaining agreements and a new media rights deal, while seeing franchise valuations skyrocket. The Washington Commanders fetched an NFL-record $6.05 billion when the franchise was sold to a group led by Philadelphia 76ers owner Josh Harris in 2023.
He has also overseen the league’s international growth with games in the United Kingdom, Germany and Brazil now staples of the calendar. The 2025 season will see seven regular-season games played outside the United States.

Casagrande sinaliza clube que “rasgou dinheiro” em contratações: “Gastaram mal”
Casagrande, em entrevista à ESPN (Reprodução) Casagrande vê um erro imperdoável cometido na gestão do Corinthians. Levando em conta os valores milionários investidos para reforçar o elenco, o ex-jogador acredita que o crescimento da dívida sequer colocou o elenco entre os melhores do Brasileirão. Neste cenário, apesar das contratações, o Timão segue dependente da criatividade de Rodrigo Garro. “O elenco do Corinthians com todo esse gasto… ‘Ah, não vamos pensar em dinheiro’, mas já gastaram mal. Com tudo que gastaram poderia ter um time melhor. Já que era para fazer uma dívida monstra e sem se preocupar, vai e contrata (outros). Todo mundo que vai para o Corinthians ganha R$ 800 mil ou R$ 1,5 milhão.”, disse Casão, no UOL News Esporte. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “O Corinthians é limitado. Sem o Garro não andou até agora.

Getty Images Former Oklahoma State and Utah State basketball player Jarred Shaw was arrested in Indonesia for allegedly attempting to smuggle illegal drugs into the country, according to the Associated Press. Shaw could face the death penalty if convicted, as the Southeast Asian nation enforces strict drug laws, with some convicted smugglers executed by firing squad, according to the report.Shaw, 34, has played for several teams in the Indonesian League since 2022, most recently the Tangerang Hawks before his arrest on May 7. Police raided his apartment and found 132 pieces of cannabis candies. Ronald Sipayung, police chief at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, told the Associated Press that Shaw's arrest followed a tip from customs officials, who flagged a suspicious package he had allegedly received from Thailand. Sipayung said Shaw could face up to life sentence or death penalty if found guilty.While […]
2025 NBA Draft stay-or-go decisions: Drake Powell, Cedric Coward headline five prospects who should turn pro
Getty Images The deadline to withdraw from the 2025 NBA Draft is on the horizon. Players who entered their name as early entrants will have until May 28 to stay in the draft or return to school for the 2025-26 college basketball season. While some players are considered more likely than others to keep their name in the draft, nothing is guaranteed. Last month, Texas Tech star JT Toppin didn't even go through the NBA Draft process, and instead returned to school with an NIL package totaling around $4 million, per CBS Sports' Matt Norlander. The two names to watch in the days leading up to the deadline are two of the top players from the transfer portal: Cedric Coward and Yaxel Lendeborg. Coward, a former Washington State star who played in just seven games during the 2024-25 season due […]
Barcelona v závěru úspěšné sezony prodloužila smlouvu s trenérem Flickem
Flick přišel do Barcelony loni v létě a podepsal dvouletou smlouvu. Jeho svěřenci vedli většinu sezony ligovou tabulku a dva zápasy před koncem získali 28. španělský titul.K tomu Barca pod Flickovým vedením vyhrála španělský Superpohár a Španělský pohár, přičemž v obou finále porazila úhlavního rivala Real Madrid. Barcelona vyhrála všechna čtyři Clásica v sezoně a Realu nastřílela 16 branek.„Díky Hansimu Flickovi byli v jeho první sezoně fanoušci Barcy šťastní z mnoha důvodů: za to, jakou důvěru dal týmu, za epické comebacky a za trofeje,“ uvedl klub v prohlášení. „Vzrušení, které německý trenér přinesl do týmu, udělalo z FC Barcelona opět obávaného soupeře v Evropě,“ dodalo vedení klubu.Šedesátiletý Flick, jenž v minulosti sbíral úspěchy v Bayernu Mnichov, také dovedl Barcelonu do semifinále Ligy mistrů. V něm katalánské mužstvo vypadlo s Interem Milán.
