  • ‘Mbappe Doesn’t Know How To Play As Striker’


    Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe received advice from his idol and club legend Cristiano Ronaldo during an interview the Portuguese conducted with El Chiringuito.

    There are famous photos of a young Mbappe with Ronaldo posters on his wall, or meeting the five-time Ballon d’Or winner at Real Madrid HQ.

    After completing a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain last summer, Mbappe now has the chance to emulate ‘CR7’ in becoming a Bernabeu legend.

    “I love him very much, and not only because of the story he had as a young man that he loved Cristiano Ronaldo very much and he was his idol,” Ronaldo said about the Frenchman.

    “But I really see him as a crack [i.e. a star player]

    , and he is going to give Real Madrid a lot of joy,” Ronaldo predicted.

    Now at Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo confessed that he watches Madrid “from time to time because my son Mateo likes Mbappe a lot”.

    There they’d see Mbappe operating as a central number 9, which the 26-year-old initially struggled with ahead of finding his feet which has caused head coach Carlo Ancelotti to recently dub him the “best centre-forward in the world”.

    “The striker position makes it a bit difficult for Mbappe, because he doesn’t know how to play as a striker in my opinion… It’s not that he doesn’t know, it’s not his position,” Ronaldo said.

    “If I were at Real Madrid I would teach him to play as a 9. Because I wasn’t a striker. I got used to playing as a striker. I played on the wing and people forget,” he reminded us.

    “Kylian shouldn’t be your typical striker. If I were him, I would play more or less like Cristiano Ronaldo plays as a striker,” Ronaldo suggested.

    The generational great also made a demand of Los Blancos supporters in their treatment of Mbappe, which is to “take care of him” first and foremost.

    “I say this to the Real Madrid fans… Take care of the kid,” the 39-year-old stressed, before predicting that, “I have no doubt Mbappe is going to give Real Madrid fans a lot of joy”.

    Though he has already done this at certain points of 2024/2025, Mbappe can further do so by helping see off Manchester City in the Champions League playoffs later this month.



    In a surprising turn of events, it seems that Kylian Mbappe, one of the most talented young footballers in the world, may not actually know how to play as a striker. Despite his incredible speed, skill, and goal-scoring ability, Mbappe has struggled to adapt to the role of a traditional number 9.

    Fans and analysts have noticed that Mbappe often drifts out wide or drops deep to receive the ball, rather than staying central and making runs in behind the defense. This has led to criticism from some quarters, who believe that Mbappe’s natural instincts as a winger are hindering his effectiveness as a striker.

    While Mbappe has still managed to score plenty of goals for both club and country, there is a sense that he could be even more lethal if he were to fully embrace the role of a striker. Some have suggested that Mbappe could benefit from studying the movements and positioning of more traditional strikers, in order to improve his understanding of the role.

    Only time will tell if Mbappe is able to make the necessary adjustments to his game and truly excel as a striker. But for now, it seems that there are still some doubts about whether he has what it takes to lead the line for his team.

  • Where does Alabama rank in the polls after two more wins in SEC play


    Alabama basketball checked in at No. 3 in the latest edition of the Associated Press top 25 poll released Monday. The Crimson moved up one spot in the rankings after an 88-84 win over then-No. 14 Mississippi State, followed by a 90-69 victory over Georgia on Saturday.

    The Tide (19-3, 8-1 SEC) also jumped up to No. 3 in the US LBM Coaches poll ahead of its next two SEC matchups. The Tide does not have a midweek game this week and next travels to Fayetteville, Arkansas for a matchup against the Razorbacks on Saturday.

    Auburn kept its spot at No. 1 in the AP Poll after road wins over LSU and then-No. 23 Ole Miss last week. The Tigers are 0.5 games ahead of Alabama in first place in the SEC with a perfect 8-0 mark so far.

    Duke also remained perfect in conference play and stayed at No. 2 in the AP Poll after taking down NC State and archrival North Carolina last week. Alabama moved up to No. 3 while Tennessee jumped up to No. 4. After losses to Auburn and Kentucky, the Volunteers rebounded with a big win over then-No. 5 Florida on Saturday. Houston rounded out the top five, keeping its place despite a loss to then-No. 22 Texas Tech on Saturday.

    After yet another win on the road against a top-15 team, Alabama will look to replicate that form against Arkansas after its week off. The Tide and Razorbacks State will faceoff at 7 p.m. CT Saturday inside Bud Walton Arena. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.

    Here are the full AP and coaches polls.

    1. Auburn (20-1)

    23. Illinois (15-7)

    24. Michigan (16-5)

    25. Ole Miss (16-6)

With a perfect record in conference play and dominant performances on both ends of the court, the Crimson Tide has firmly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in college basketball.

  • Jim Gaffigan: “It’s Sad I Didn’t Play in the NFL” | FOX Sports Radio


    Stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan joins Dan Patrick on The Dan Patrick Show to talk about his “Everything Is Wonderful!” tour and his recently released comedy special “The Skinny.” He shares his biggest influences in comedy and details his struggles breaking into the business. And he laments his lack of NFL career despite only having two weeks of experience as a walk-on at Purdue.

    Jim Gaffigan: “There’s a picture of me when I walked on at Purdue but I was literally there for two weeks and now people are like, ‘Yeah, he’s a Big Ten football player…’ It’s just sad that I didn’t play in the NFL even though I didn’t really even play Division 1.”





    Popular comedian Jim Gaffigan recently opened up about his regrets of not pursuing a career in the NFL. In an interview with FOX Sports Radio, Gaffigan admitted, “It’s sad I didn’t play in the NFL. I think I could have been a great receiver or maybe a kicker. But hey, I guess it’s never too late to join a flag football league, right?”

    Gaffigan’s self-deprecating humor and love for sports have always been a big part of his comedy, so it’s no surprise that he would joke about his hypothetical football career. While he may not have made it to the NFL, Gaffigan continues to entertain audiences with his stand-up specials, TV shows, and movies.

    Fans of Gaffigan can catch his latest comedy routines and projects, while also imagining what could have been if he had pursued his football dreams. Who knows, maybe we’ll see him on the field one day, making tackles and scoring touchdowns in his signature deadpan style.

  • Troye Sivan and Tour Dancers Play ‘Tap or Block’ in New Grindr Campaign


    Tap or block?

    That’s the inspiration behind Grindr‘s playful new campaign, featuring pop star Troye Sivan alongside dancers from his recent headlining tour.

    The Jake Wilson-directed clip was filmed backstage on the last stop of Sivan’s Something to Give Each Other Tour and it co-stars Theo, Simone, Samuel, Ben, Ainsley and Mauro. “The rules are simple,” Sivan states before delivering the brief instructions of the game to the six seated in the room with him. “I’m going to read something out, if you’re into it you say, ‘Tap,’ if you’re not say, ‘Block.’”

    Sivan then moderates the discussion as a way to celebrate “the diversity of queer experiences,” per Grindr. The questions are also pretty direct: Hotel sex? Super hairy? Nude next to object? Not showering after the gym? Satin sheets? Open couples? Strict dynamic? “Masc” in bio? Calls you bro or dude? The dancers deliver candid answers by leaning on the answers inspired by Grindr’s app functions.

    Sivan poses with Theo, Simone, Samuel, Ben, Ainsley and Mauro for the Grindr campaign “Tap or Block.”

    “Dating and hooking up can be complex, sexy, messy, intoxicating and confusing,” Sivan told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement. “I love how Grindr and this campaign celebrate all of this with humour, honesty and through community. It’s refreshing to show these conversations in an authentic way.”

    The clip was produced by Charlie Wilson and it features music by Leland. Luke Anderson, co-founder of Juxtapose Studio, led the creative vision for the new campaign, in what marks a re-teaming with Sivan after having worked with him on the music video for “Got Me Started,” which features Explorer Cold Brew. Sivan is currently nominated for a Grammy at Sunday’s awards telecast in the category of best dance pop recording for “Got Me Started.”

    In a new campaign for Grindr, Troye Sivan and his tour dancers play a game of ‘Tap or Block’ to showcase the app’s features and promote safe interactions within the LGBTQ+ community. The video features Sivan and his dancers swiping through profiles on Grindr, deciding whether to tap on a profile to show interest or block a user for inappropriate behavior.

    The playful and lighthearted video aims to educate users on how to navigate the app responsibly and respectfully, while also highlighting the importance of setting boundaries and maintaining a safe online environment. Sivan and his dancers use their platform to promote positive interactions and encourage users to prioritize their safety and well-being while using dating apps.

    Overall, the campaign serves as a fun and engaging way to promote Grindr’s values of inclusivity, diversity, and safety within the LGBTQ+ community, with Sivan and his dancers leading by example.

  • Rory McIlroy Suggests PGA Tour Should Play Less in ‘Diminished’ Golf Ecosystem


    Rory McIlroy is cutting down the number of times he will play in 2025—and for the sport’s health, he feels the PGA Tour should do the same. 

    “I think 47 or 50 tournaments a year is definitely too many,” the 35-year-old said Tuesday ahead of his season debut at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. 

    Ratings and interest in the sport appears to be waning. The first reason could be that the professional game is fractured, and McIlroy said that he “would like to think that something happens pretty soon” regarding the framework agreement between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. However, there have been other initiatives to drive viewership in golf, such as the TGL and YouTube influencers. 

    But it has created a saturated golf landscape. 

    “I think (the golf ecosystem) already has been diminished,” McIlroy said. “I would say yeah, look, the one thing about TGL’s only going to last two months. You get this sort of big burst of it in January, February and a little bit of March, then it’s done. It’s gone for 10 months basically. I would say that is hopefully somewhat additive to the ecosystem. 

    “YouTube is like golf entertainment-adjacent, whatever. Those guys are killing it. They found a niche and it’s really cool and it serves a purpose for a lot of people.”

    McIlroy, though, sees the pros and cons of all these forms of golf. 

    “Look, I would much rather sit down and watch real golfers play real tournaments and that’s just my opinion,” the Northern Irishman said. “That to me is more entertaining. But I understand that other people want something different and that’s totally fine as well. 

    “I think there’s space for all of this. Yeah, I can see when the golf consumer might get a little fatigued of everything that’s sort of available to them. So to scale it back a little bit and maybe have a little more scarcity in some of the stuff that we do, like the NFL, I think mightn’t be a bad thing.”

    Even with several stars playing on LIV, McIlroy believes “the majority of probably the best players in the world are still” on the PGA Tour. Therefore, aside from playing less, he’s aware of other suggestions to improve the product, such as playing classic venues, speeding up the pace of play and more engagement with the fans, which Justin Thomas has lobbied for. 

    But that likely won’t happen overnight. So if people don’t want to watch what the sport currently has to offer, McIlroy is fine with that. 

    “There’s a lot of things about golf that are very different than other sports, but I think that’s what makes it unique,” the four-time major champion said. “I don’t think we should try to dumb down golf to appeal to more people. 

    “Golf is golf at the end of the day. It’s been this way for hundreds of years. I really like the way golf is and I think a lot of other people do, too, but I still understand the critiques of how the entertainment product could get better. It’s a multifaceted thing and I think pace of play is one thing. Player accessibility and all that, that’s what we’re talking about, but it takes a while to put that sort of ball into motion. 

    “These are all the things that have been getting kicked around. But like first and foremost we’re professional golfers, we want to go out there and shoot the best score possible that we can and try to beat each other. Hopefully, people find that entertaining, and if not, then I don’t know what to tell them.”



    Rory McIlroy, one of the top golfers in the world, recently made a suggestion that has sparked some debate among golf fans and professionals. In a recent interview, McIlroy expressed his belief that the PGA Tour should consider playing fewer events in order to preserve the integrity of the sport in what he called a “diminished” golf ecosystem.

    McIlroy pointed out that the current schedule of events, with tournaments taking place nearly every week throughout the year, can be exhausting for players and may lead to a decrease in the overall quality of play. He argued that by reducing the number of events, players would have more time to rest and prepare for the tournaments they do play in, ultimately leading to better performances on the course.

    While some may see McIlroy’s suggestion as controversial, others have supported his stance, noting that a more condensed schedule could help to increase the prestige of each individual event and create more excitement for fans.

    As the PGA Tour continues to evolve and adapt to the changing landscape of professional golf, it will be interesting to see if McIlroy’s idea gains traction and leads to any changes in the schedule. In the meantime, fans can look forward to watching McIlroy and other top players compete in the many events on the PGA Tour calendar.

  • I’ve navigated Marvel Rivals’ chaotic ranked play and dragged myself out of Plat hell, which means it’s time to start preparing to do it all over again next season


    At the beginning of every season in Marvel Rivals, each player will get a rank reset and will be demoted around seven tiers (unless they’re already floating around the bottom), meaning they’ll all just get grouped in Bronze 3. This reset has meant that the first half of Season 1 has—what I can only imagine—felt like a free-for-all fistfight inside a house that’s on fire, and every so often, one of your teammates pours gasoline everywhere—so, yeah, it’s been fun.

    After climbing up to Diamond in Season 0, I started this season off in Silver 1. I actually wasn’t aware of just how severe this rank reset was going to be, and I was unpleasantly surprised to realise I would be back fighting in Silver and Gold lobbies.



    I’ve navigated Marvel Rivals’ chaotic ranked play and dragged myself out of Plat hell, which means it’s time to start preparing to do it all over again next season.

    After countless hours of grinding, strategizing, and sometimes even raging, I’ve finally made it out of Plat hell in Marvel Rivals. The road to this point has been long and arduous, filled with tough opponents, frustrating losses, and exhilarating victories.

    But now that I’ve reached the coveted rank of Diamond, I know that the real work is just beginning. With a new season on the horizon, it’s time to start preparing for the next climb up the ladder. This means refining my deck, studying the meta, and staying on top of the latest strategies and trends in the game.

    It’s a daunting task, to be sure. But I know that with determination, perseverance, and a healthy dose of luck, I can once again rise through the ranks and prove my skills as a top Marvel Rivals player.

    So here’s to the next season, full of new challenges, new opportunities, and hopefully, a few more shiny new ranks to add to my collection. Bring it on, Marvel Rivals. I’m ready for whatever you throw at me.

  • Will Chet Holmgren play tonight against the Dallas Mavericks? Latest update on the OKC Thunder star’s injury report | NBA News


    Will Chet Holmgren play tonight against the Dallas Mavericks? Latest update on the OKC Thunder star's injury report (January 23, 2025)

    Oklahoma City Thunder’s rising star Chet Holmgren is set to miss time due to a hip injury, according to the team’s latest injury report. As the Thunder prepare to take on the Dallas Mavericks on January 23, Holmgren’s absence adds to the list of key players sidelined. The 7-foot center, known for his shot-blocking ability and versatility, will be out indefinitely as he recovers.
    Chet Holmgren’s injury comes at a crucial point in the season, with the Oklahoma City Thunder holding an impressive 36-7 record. Despite their success, missing a key contributor like Holmgren could pose challenges in maintaining their dominance, especially on the defensive end. Oklahoma City currently leads the NBA in defensive efficiency, allowing just 103.9 points per game. Holmgren has played a pivotal role in anchoring their defense, and his absence could be felt in upcoming matchups.

    In the last 20 games, Chet Holmgren has been a consistent presence for the Oklahoma City Thunder, averaging 9.4 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game. His rim protection has also been a major asset, contributing one block per contest. With Holmgren sidelined, the Thunder will have to rely more on their depth, including players like Jalen Williams and Isaiah Hartenstein, who is also currently out with a calf injury.
    Chet Holmgren’s injury isn’t the only concern for Oklahoma City. The team is also without Nikola Topic, who is out for the season with an ACL injury, and Ajay Mitchell, who is dealing with a toe issue. This string of injuries puts additional pressure on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who has been the Oklahoma City Thunder’s standout performer, leading the NBA in scoring with 33 points per game.
    As Oklahoma City looks ahead, the team will need to adjust its game plan to compensate for Chet Holmgren’s absence. The Thunder are known for their strong defensive schemes and efficient scoring, but losing a key shot-blocker could impact their ability to control the paint. Fans will be eager for updates on Holmgren’s recovery, hoping for his return before the playoffs.

    When and where to watch the OKC Thunder vs Dallas Mavericks game tonight? (January 23, 2025)

    The Thunder face the Dallas Mavericks on January 23 at the Paycom Center, with tip-off set for 8:00 PM ET. The game will be broadcast on KFAA, WFAA, and FDSOK, with streaming available on Fubo. Oklahoma City will aim to continue their winning streak despite the growing injury list.





    Unfortunately, it looks like Chet Holmgren will not be suiting up tonight against the Dallas Mavericks. The latest update on the OKC Thunder star’s injury report indicates that he is still dealing with a nagging ankle injury and will be sitting out tonight’s game. Fans will have to wait a little longer to see the promising rookie back in action. Stay tuned for more updates on Holmgren’s status and when he is expected to return to the court. #NBA #OKCThunder #ChetHolmgren #InjuryUpdate #DallasMavericks

    Fantasy Impact:

    Finney-Smith is set to make his return to the lineup on Saturday after missing Thursday’s game due to a shoulder injury. There’s no reason to think that he won’t be a good fantasy option against New York, and he will even be in line for a large workload with Anthony Davis (core) sidelined again for Los Angeles.
