Beaujolais matador para Paula Blasi en el Tour de Francia
Marlen Reusser. Demi Vollering. Fueron reina y vasalla en otros tiempos. Una estrella desde joven a la sombra de Van Vleuten y Van der Breggen en la Holanda todopoderosa de los últimos años, y una médica suiza que a los 27 años decidió que intentaría ser ciclista profesional. Una trabajaba, aprendía a colocarse, a leer las tácticas, a aguantar los contactos en el pelotón, y la otra recogía los frutos, las victorias. Ahora son rivales. Las dos máximas favoritas para ganar un Tour que no conoce la calma ni la compasión, ni le da paz a Paula Blasi.
Giants put Roy Robertson-Harris on IR, sign two players
Giants defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris tore his Achilles during the team's offseason program, but they put him on the physically unable to perform list rather than injured reserve to open training camp. esporist.com
That move kept some hope alive for a return late in the season, but that's no longer the case. The Giants placed Robertson-Harris on injured reserve Wednesday and the timing precludes him being activated this year.
The Giants also waived wide receiver Beaux Collins with an injury designation on Wednesday. Collins will revert to injured reserve if he's unclaimed.
Defensive backs David Long and D.J. James were signed to fill the two open roster spots. Long has played in 86 games for the Rams, Raiders, Panthers, Packers and Colts. James was a Seahawks sixth-round pick in 2024 and he played in one game for the Patriots last season.
Jadeveon Clowney: Logan Hall gave me the No. 90 jersey without me asking for it
Sometimes, when a high-profile player arrives on a team and wants a jersey number that's already taken, it leads to a contentious issue in the locker room, or a high-priced negotiation. That was not the case with the Texans No. 90 jersey.
Logan Hall, who had been No. 90 in Houston for only a few months, gave it to Jadeveon Clowney, who previously wore No. 90 on the Texans from 2014 to 2018, without Clowney even asking for it.
"I walked in, he was like, 'You can get 90 back,'" Clowney said. "I was like, 'I don't even know if I want it' at first because last time I got injured I wore 90. Ever since I left I've been wearing all these different numbers."
Clowney wore No. 90 from 2014, when the Texans made him the first overall pick in the NFL draft, through 2019, when he was traded to Seattle and played one season for the Seahawks. Clowney also wore No. 90 for two seasons with the Browns, but he has worn other numbers in other places: No. 99 for the Titans, No. 24 for the Ravens, No. 7 for the Panthers and No. 42 for the Cowboys.
Hall, who signed with the Texans this offseason after playing his first four NFL seasons for the Buccaneers, had been wearing No. 90 in Houston just as he did in Tampa Bay. But Hall happily switched to No. 96 to give the No. 90 jersey to Clowney.
Clowney said it's been fun to see how welcoming the Texans' locker room is to him.
"It's been great," Clowney said. "I'm excited for the opportunity."
‘There is a clear vision’: Matthias Jaissle installed as Newcastle head coach
German officially announced as Howe’s successor
‘This an incredibly compelling place to be’
Matthias Jaissle has described Newcastle “as an incredibly compelling place to be” after finally formalising his managerial move from Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ahli.
The 38-year-old German has been with his new players at their training camp in La Manga, southern Spain, since last Saturday but, despite also falling under the ownership of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Al-Ahli took time to provide Newcastle with some vital paperwork regarding the release of a head coach they were extremely reluctant to lose.
Continue reading...Jerry Jeudy: "Kinda wild" anyone thought I'd comment on QB competition on social media
Just before the Browns started training camp, wide receiver Jerry Jeudy found himself going viral on social media for something he didn't do.
A video showing Jeudy putting up four fingers was portrayed as him answering a question about who he thinks should be the team's quarterback by favoring Deshaun Watson, but, as noted at the time, the video was clearly edited and Jeudy responded by writing that he doesn't "speak on decisions that aren't mine to make."
Jeudy addressed the video again at a Thursday press conference and said that whoever made the video edited out a section including his daughter. Jeudy said he held up the four fingers to answer a question during a livestream about how old his daughter is and that the video's editing "made it into something" it wasn't.
"I’ve been in the league for seven years. At least five or six of those years, there’s always been a quarterback competition within those years," Jeudy said. "I think I was mature enough, wise enough to not answer questions like that. For anyone to believe I would answer like that on social media is kinda wild. You gotta understand this is what we in and understand how everybody viewing the quarterback competition in this room, so every little thing’s going to try to turn it into that. . . . I don’t even answer quarterback questions in here, why would I answer quarterback questions on TikTok?"
Jeudy said he spoke to Watson and Shedeur Sanders directly to tell them he wasn't discussing their competition and that the entire episode reinforced his feeling that "nothing's real" on social media. There are no shortage of examples inside and outside of football to back up that view and there will inevitably be more of them despite admonitions from Jeudy or anyone else to treat it with skepticism.
