In the first half of the 2023 NFL season, it looked for all the world that the Philadelphia Eagles were headed back to another deep playoff run, and perhaps another Super Bowl. The sting of losing Super Bowl LVII to the Kansas City Chiefs in an agonizingly close fashion (38-35, with the winning field goal coming with eight seconds left in the game) was supposed to push this impressively talented team over the top.

Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson is set to miss the start of the 2024-25 Premier League season with a back injury, according to Chris Waugh of The Athletic. Wilson’s injury could also have an impact on Newcastle’s transfer plans, as the Magpies were thinking about adding a new forward... but only if they could complete the sale of Callum. With his fitness questionable and this injury in place, it’s going to be hard to sell him for any sizable amount of money, let alone the fact that he’s entering the final season under contract giving even more leverage to the potential suitors to offer even less money.

LeBron James is a special kind of talent. Whenever he decides to retire, there’s no doubt he’ll be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, leaving his imprint on the game. With his skill set, it’s tough for opponents to match up with him one-on-one, but that hasn’t stopped many of his rivals throughout his career from reverting to bothersome tactics. The King attracts pests and on the court that’s brought a ton of beef.

Cats of Kansas City

Now that we have all had our fill of grilled burgers and fireworks, let's look at some unsung Americans--cats. Did you know that there are nearly 100 million cats living in the United States? I'm not sure who counted all of them, but that's a lot of cats. Enough to sway an election were they given the right to vote (which, of course, they should be). Unfortunately, many of those cats don't have a place to call home. Here are six cats, all in the greater Kanas City area, who would love it if you might consider giving them a bed, a litter box, and a bowl full of kibble.

One of these six spectacular cats may be your next pet

Young love bloomed at the Euro Championship on Sunday.

Following Spain’s 2-1 victory over England to clinch the 2024 Euro Championship, Lamine Yamal, who made history as the youngest scorer in the tournament’s history and was named the best young player, was seen cozying up on the pitch with his TikTok star girlfriend Alex Padilla.

Every year, we get a breakout offensive or defensive coordinator that shoots to the top of every moribund franchise’s want list as a head coaching candidate. In 2022, then-Ravens’ defensive coordinator Mike MacDonald flipped a Ravens’ defense around that led to him getting a head coaching job after the 2023 season. Houston Texans OC Bobby Slowik graduated from the school of Kyle Shanahan and turned a baseless offense with a rookie QB into one of the most fun offenses we saw in the NFL last year.

Barcelona are reportedly hopeful of landing their top transfer target in the coming week, while Ansu Fati is in a last-chance saloon situation at the La Liga outfit.

1995/1996 would end in glory for Sunderland, but at the start of the campaign, the supporters didn’t quite know what to expect. Manager Peter Reid had signed a long-term contract over the summer, having saved the Lads from relegation to the second tier, and whilst his performance in the role so far had suggested that an upturn in fortunes could be on the cards, a lack of transfer activity tempered hopes somewhat.
