data-mm-id=”_9p1yz0738″>On Monday, Dan Le Batard ignited a debate that raged across NBA circles by expressing his firmly-held belief that Tyler Herro is better than Tyrese Maxey. The pair of Kentucky guards are currently linked through Damian Lillard trade talks as the Miami Heat have reportedly offered up Herro and boatload of draft picks in exchange for the All-NBA guard. The Philadelphia 76ers, on the other hand, have refused to include Maxey in any trade discussions.Thus the question is posed– who is better? Maxey or Herro? Liam McKeone and Ryan Phillips found themselves on opposite sides of the argument in The Big Lead's Slack chat and, at the urging of their coworkers, took things public.Ryan Phillips: Would you like to fire the opening salvo, Liam?Liam McKeone: Sure, Ryan.…
data-mm-id=”_g7mr87xry”>The Washington Commanders lost an extremely ugly game on Sunday, a sentence that has been written many times over the last few years and will continue to be written many times until there are major changes within the organization. And there appears to be nobody more sick of it than star defensive lineman Jonathan Allen. Speaking to reporters after losing 14-7 to the New York Giants, Allen's frustration bubbled over and he told the media that he's "f—-ing tired of this bullsh-t" and that it's been the same thing for all of his seven-year career with the team. He's not wrong, but still — not a great thing to hear!Jonathan Allen is not happy after Commanders loss. "They whupped our ass, plain and simple." pic.twitter.com/7…

data-mm-id=”_q24uelnk1″>The New York Giants are coming off a very bad 6-11 season that felt a lot worse than that and matters are not going to improve very much in 2024. They do have the sixth overall pick in the NFL Draft, which is absolutely high enough to grab a game-changer in some areas, but not quite high enough to get the sort of highly-coveted quarterback prospect that can transform an organization's fortunes overnight. Which means New York is stuck running it back with Daniel Jones next season, something that even they are apparently unhappy about. It is simply the latest rough stretch in a decade full of them for one of the NFL's prouder organizations. And now they are set to lose Saquon Barkley in free agency after a clash over the franchise tag last offseason. Th…

This time, it's NBA legend and two-time champion Mychal Thompson who has given the first-year guard a ringing endorsement.On Monday, Thompson—who is also the father of new Dallas Mavericks star Klay Thompson—took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his belief that Clark deserves to be in the MVP conversation. According to the Los Angeles Lakers icon, what the Fever rookie has done so far in her career warrants that recognition.Thompson argued that Clark has already established herself as the "best guard" in the WNBA, as she leads the league in assists (8.4) and points per game scored or assisted (37.3).…

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has been advised to aim his anger at UEFA and FIFA rather than the FA after his rant over player welfare in the wake of his side s 1-0 win over Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final.
Guardiola s side had to play Chelsea on Saturday having been dumped out of the Champions League by Real Madrid on the Wednesday before, and .
Unacceptable FA scheduling
Guardiola told BBC Sport: It is unacceptable. It is really unacceptable.
Coventry [and] Man United and Chelsea don t play in the week and let us play today. Next week on Friday would be better, instead of Saturday put it [the match] on Friday for recovery.
It is for the health of the players. It is not normal. Honestly, it is not normal. It is not possible. It is unacceptable…
Thomas Tuchel vented his frustration at the “disastrous decision” to rule out a potential Matthijs de Ligt equaliser after Bayern Munich missed out on the Champions League final following a 4-3 aggregate loss to Real Madrid, and defended his decision to substitute Harry Kane.
The last-four tie had been evenly-poised after a 2-2 draw in Germany last week and Alphonso Davies fired the visitors into a surprise lead with 22 minutes left at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Bayern looked on course to end Madrid’s 13-month unbeaten home run, but Joselu levelled in the 88th minute after Manuel Neuer spilled a shot by Vinicius Junior before the former Stoke forward steered home from close range three minutes later to earn a memorable 2-1 victory.

Chelsea s hierarchy decided to dismiss the former Tottenham Hotspur boss at the end of a challenging season, which ended on a very promising note.
After spending much of the season around mid-table, an unbeaten end to the season saw Chelsea finish sixth and qualify for the Europa League after they came up short in the Carabao Cup final earlier this year.
Pochettino had a difficult job at Chelsea as there was a huge overhaul at Stamford Bridge last summer. His young squad let him down at certain points but their positive end t…
Man Utd have already tied up the signing of Sporting Lisbon centre-back Goncalo Inacio ahead of the summer transfer window, according to reports.
The Red Devils are looking to increase their transfer budget this summer by selling some of the players they no longer need with Casemiro, Jadon Sancho .
That should boost their budget and allow to bring in some young, hungry players who have the ability to make a difference right away after their disappointing eighth-placed finish this season.
Bringing in at least one new centre-back has become a priority for the Red Devils with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealing on Tuesday that Inacio, Jean-Clair Todibo, Jarrad Branthwaite and Gleison Bremer were four of their top targets.
