José Mourinho set an incredible standard for himself by winning the league title in his first season at Chelsea. However, the 50-year-old has said that it will be difficult to match this achievement in his second spell at the club. It has been four years since Chelsea last lifted the league title. Even though the club may have won numerous trophies, including the Champions League and the Europa League on European fronts, the likes of Manchester United still dominate the domestic front....

Speaking at a press conference yesterday he explained the striker’s situation. “I don’t speak with the players about how they take it (being dropped),’ said Mourinho, who will also rest goalkeeper David De Gea. He will play Sunday and, if Sunday he plays magnificent, he will play against Hull City the next match. It’s simple.” Martial was not even in the squad for the game against Stoke last weekend and was instead spending time in Paris....

In case you didn’t know… Following his phenomenal showing in a Champions League clash between Basel and Chelsea, Salah was almost immediately signed by the London outfit in an £11 million transfer in January 2014. The Egyptian was, however, far from the goal-scoring machine he is now, having made only 13 Premier League appearances for the side before he was loaned out to Serie A sides Fiorentina and Roma. The loan deal was eventually made permanent by Roma, for whom the forward scored 15 league goals in his final season....

Randle skipped a treatment session for a strained oblique, an injury that cost him his starting job and put Darren McFadden in the role. The Star-Telegram’s source said Randle didn’t leave because McFadden had replaced him. MORE: Ten terrible decisions by the NFL | Randle may force Cowboys’ hand Randle is expected to come back and meet with Cowboys coaches Thursday.

“Right now, it’s come in and compete and show up, so that’s what I’ll do,” McCown said, via Pro Football Talk. “If that changes, that changes, and I’ll go to that next place and compete there as well … I’ll go with that mindset, and if they see differently and I am traded or moved along, I’ll appreciate my time there and then go embrace the next opportunity.” MORE: Biggest moments of Griffin’s career | Josh Gordon and RGIII reunited...

Miami appears to be interested in Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen, according to a report from Peter King of NBC Sports. King writes in his latest edition of Football Morning in America: The Dolphins have already made multiple moves under center this offseason. They traded former starter Ryan Tannehill to the Titans in March in exchange for two late-round draft choices before signing veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick to a two-year contract later that week....

Following the Cardinals drafting former Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray with the first pick in the NFL Draft, Rosen apparently responded by unfollowing his team on Instagram and Twitter. Arizona traded up during last year’s draft to select Rosen out of UCLA with the 10th pick in the draft. Rosen started 13 games for the Cardinals, passing for 2,279 yards with 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. His offensive coordinator, Mike McCoy, was fired midseason following a 45-10 blowout loss to Denver, and head coach Steve Wilks was fired at the end of the season....

The fighters may have been unable to take home gold at the Olympics, but they have parlayed their amateur experience into professional careers where both are undefeated and have gold titles instead of gold medals. Ramirez (26-0, 17 KOs) won the vacant WBC title in 2018 with a unanimous decision over Amir Imam and collected the WBO title with a sixth-round TKO of Maurice Hooker in 2019. The 28-year-old from Fresno, Calif....

Mike Perry was up against a submission expert in Mickey Gall but after overcoming a slow start, he would go on to win a unanimous decision. While Perry had a differing view on the issue of fighter pay, his rant was more about how the govt. take a substantial amount of his money through taxes. Mike Perry was in huge controversy before the fight due to his decision of going into the cage with his untrained girlfriend acting as his corner....

Joshua has been the talk of the heavyweight division for nearly a year, and on Saturday he (kind of) showed why, as the 28-year-old Briton won a unanimous decision, 118-110 twice and 119-109 on the scorecards. Make no mistake: It was a messy, boring fight that was met with a chorus of boos when “AJ” took the microphone in his home country. Parker put together a good game plan, keeping Joshua off balance and out of rhythm for the duration of the fight....

Headlining the new games headed for the Xbox Game Pass is Journey to the Savage Planet, which is an adventure game by Typhoon Studios and 505 Games that was just released last January.

The Montenegro international linked up with the reigning Ligue 1 champions towards the end of the summer transfer window, as he was acquired from Serie A outfit Inter. Shortly after his arrival, on deadline day, Monaco eventually agreed to part with teenage sensation Mbappe, with an initial loan which will turn into a €180 million move taking him to PSG.

Tanks were shown rolling into Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, on Friday, after Russian President Vladimir Putin declared the start of a “special military operation” in the neighboring country on Thursday. And as Behar, 79, discussed the escalating crisis during Thursday’s installment of ABC’s The View, she admitted that she was “scared of what’s going to happen in Western Europe”—specifically as it pertains to her travel plans. The View moderator Whoopi Goldberg, 66, kicked off the discussion, calling the situation in Ukraine “so disheartening,” adding: “The people in Russia, they don’t want this war....

Fever Dreams Pts 1-4, which came out on Friday via BMG, is a sprawling, 16-track collection and Marr’s most expansive-sounding effort ever since he properly launched his solo career almost a decade ago.

While the Bucs are next after the Jaguars, the Cleveland Browns and Houston Texans are on deck to take a closer look at Manziel.

If Tampa Bay were to take Manziel at No. 7, he wouldn't be forced into the starting lineup right away. The Bucs got former Chicago Bears backup Josh McCown to be the short-term starter in Year 1 under Lovie Smith....

The benefit of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is that full vaccination is completed with one shot....
