Bills arrive as content darlings, but ‘Hard Knocks’ a spotlight they’ve long wanted to avoid
The Buffalo Bills do not want to be on “Hard Knocks.” They are not proud to be chosen for “Hard Knocks.” They did not seek to be featured on “Hard Knocks.” They loathe the idea of “Hard Knocks.”Nobody from One Bills Drive told me this Wednesday because they didn’t have to. I’ve covered the entirety of this administration and have had myriad conversations with coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane about the HBO show since they arrived eight years ago.AdvertisementMcDermott and Beane always have been in lockstep on the topic: “Hard Knocks” is, at best, a distraction while creating the possibility of a public relations disaster.The Bills have become content darlings with “Hard Knocks” and the ongoing Hallmark Channel production, “Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story.” But any contributions being made for the schmaltzy, made-for-TV movie — McDermott, […]
Milton Neves sugere dois jogadores do Palmeiras para seleção brasileira de Ancelotti
Milton Neves e Carlo Ancelotti (Reprodução/Band e Antonio Villalba/Real Madrid) Milton Neves repercutiu a divulgação de alguns dos 50 nomes da pré-lista de Carlo Ancelotti para os próximos compromissos da seleção brasileira. Para o jornalista, chamou atenção a ausência inicial de jogadores do Palmeiras na relação prévia do novo técnico do escrete canarinho. Em sua coluna na Revista Oeste, o comunicador confessou ter estranhado não aparecer nenhum representante alviverde na lista preliminar de Ancelotti. “Será que é preciso lembrar que o Verdão, há anos, o time mais competitivo do país?”, sublinhou. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE Ao repercutir a presença de seis jogadores do Flamengo entre os possíveis convocados pelo italiano, Milton Neves opinou que vários dos pré-convocados são inferiores a muitos jogadores do Palmeiras. Assim, Miltão mencionou Weverton e Estêvão como dois nomes injustiçados por Carlo Ancelotti. Para o colunista, não há […]
WATCH: Tyrese Haliburton’s dad also recreates Reggie Miller’s choke gesture after Pacers’ historic comeback
Imagn Images Tyrese Haliburton's father may not have been inside Madison Square Garden for the Indiana Pacers' stunning comeback win over the New York Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, but John Haliburton still found a way to celebrate. Just as Tyrese flashed Reggie Miller's iconic choke gesture after burying the game-tying shot at the buzzer to force overtime, a video posted to social media showed John soaking in the moment from a bar — matching his son's animated energy following a 138-135 Pacers' win. John has been out of the postseason spotlight since a heated exchange with Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo at the end of Indiana's first-round series in April led to a decision that he would not attend the Pacers' playoff run moving forward.The video didn't reveal where John was watching from as Tyrese and the […]
McLaren představil upravené zbarvení pro nejbližší závody
Stejně jako v posledních letech i letos bude mít ve Velké ceně Monaka vedoucí stáj Poháru konstruktérů i žebříčku jezdců McLaren speciálně zbarvené vozy.Barevné schéma monopostů zůstane v podstatě stejné. Prim bude hrát papájová oranžová a doplněna bude černou. Na sidepodech bude logo sponzora OKX, který provozuje kryptoměnovou burzu.McLaren's special livery for the Monaco GP (and Spanish GP), inspired by the M7A which Bruce McLaren and Denny Hulme raced 🙌What do you think? pic.twitter.com/XfMaq9epHI— The Race (@wearetherace) May 21, 2025 Přechod ke speciálnímu lakování má dva významy. První je oslavou vstupu OKX na evropský trh a druhý je historický. Barvy totiž mají vzor u formule McLaren M7A, jež závodila v F1 mezi lety 1968 a 1971 a v níž zakladatel stáje Bruce McLaren dojel pro první vítězství týmu. K tomu došlo ve Velké ceně Belgie 1968. Zároveň je to první vůz, jemuž dominovala dnes už tradiční papájová barva.„Jsme hrdí, že můžeme oslavit historii naší stáje,“ komentovala […]
Prozess vor Gericht! – HSV und Ex-Boss streiten um Kündigung & Kohle
Da droht eine Schlammschlacht vor Gericht – Ausgang völlig offen!Sportlich läuft es für die HSV-Handballer (31:29 Punkte), wirtschaftlich ist es so lala, die Lizenz sicherte sich der Handball-Bundesligist erst nach Zahlung einer Millionensumme. Jetzt droht dem HSV Ungemach vor Gericht.Foto: BILD<!-->]-->Öffentliche Sitzung der 15. Kammer des Arbeitsgerichts Hamburg, Saal 315, mit der Vorsitzenden Richterin Sabrina Bellasio. Der Termin wurde nötig, weil eine außergerichtliche Einigung zwischen dem HSV Hamburg und dessen Ex-Geschäftsführer Sebastian Frecke bislang scheiterte. Auch während der Sitzung, die knapp 45 Minuten dauerte, kam es zu keiner Übereinkunft.Darum geht es im Kammertermin (Az 15 Ca 434/24): Ex-Geschäftsführer Frecke hatte Kündigungsschutzklage gegen den HSV e. V. eingereicht. Nach seiner Abberufung als Geschäftsführer im vergangenen September wurde, so argumentiert Frecke – vertreten durch Jan Ruge und Felix Uhr (Fachanwälte für Arbeitsrecht) – sein alter Arbeitsvertrag beim e.

Breaking down the tush push: Who can stop the Eagles, and who does short yardage best
Greg Auman NFL Reporter <!--> The tush push is everywhere. The news on Wednesday that NFL owners didn't have enough votes to ban the Eagles' controversial but effective quarterback sneak means it's back for 2025 as one of the league's most anticipated plays.So let's break down this play from a number of perspectives. First, we'll examine third and fourth down with one yard to go in the NFL, how teams attack it differently and the hard numbers on success rates in short yardage. Next, we want to put the Eagles' rhyming Jalen Hurts phenomenon into perspective compared to other teams in the same situation. Finally, we pinpoint five teams on Philadelphia's 2025 schedule in the best position to stop the tush push.What do teams do when they need exactly one yard?Last season, there were nearly 1,200 plays in the NFL […]
