Why ‘Jerry Maguire' perfected the player-agent dynamic
Yahoo Sports NFL analyst Nate Tice and ESPN's Mina Kimes break down the 1996 movie starring Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr. - and how the film was spot on in regards to the important relationship between star athlete and representative. Hear the full conversation on 'Football 301' - and subscribe on Apple Podcasts , Spotify , YouTube or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript 6 is something I did rewatch, uh, 3 years ago, not that long ago, and that is Jerry Maguire. Advertisement First of all, the performances are really what make it. I mean, I think ityou don't want it won Cuba Gooding Jr., you see why he won the Oscar for. It's a really incredible performance. It's a really nuanced performance as well. The relationship between him and his wife, and their dealings with the agent and the way they talk about Gary, his contracts and injuries, and itI, I found again, upon rewatching it, someone now who lives in this world finds that to be very accurate. And, you know, it's funny because I was like watching with my husband who's not really into football and sort of the business of football, and he was asking me like, would it actually happen as well? Advertisement I was like, actually, yeah, like the way they're talking about his contract. And whether or not he should roll the dice or take a lower deal, and what it means. And I was like, this is actually pretty accurate. And, um, so I think it's just nice, beyond the drama of it, and it'sit's at heart a romantic comedy, of course, but it is nice to see the business of football and being a player I thought represented pretty accurately. Even just the agency politics is really thatI thought was like, as I watched it as an adult, obviously, I, I probably watched it as a kid, but it was like one of those, like, whatever, and then, but as an adult I was like, oh wow, that's actually kind of real, like as far as how that kind of unfolds, and no, that's a great point, too, because the even just talking about like the player-agent dynamics, everyone always thinks, oh yeah, they're always on the same page, too, like everyone thinks, oh, they're always in lockstep, and people fight with their agents way more than people realize, and you know, and the whole dynamic of the agent works for the player or the person, you know, not even just including athletes here. Advertisement That works for it, but that's also a dynamic because it's, I need you, but I don't need you, you know, and that can lead to the frustration incentives align. Agent want them to maximize the money or take the risk? And of course he is his only client, that's the case's president, and I think the way the agent, when Jerry goes out on his own, separate from the Cuba Gooding Jr. part, and he, um. Uh, uh, tries to get the number one overall draft pick. I can't remember the name of the quarterback, uh, and they lie to his face and end up going with J. Moore's character; that's all super stuff like that happens all the time.

Dortmund 2 Monterrey 1 – Suspended Jobe misses Bellingham derby with Jude, fans warned over homophobic chant at Club World Cup
A frustrated Jobe Bellingham will miss out on a first competitive meeting with brother Jude after being booked in Borussia Dortmund's 2-1 win over Monterrey in their Club World Cup last 16 game. Earlier in the day Jude Bellingham helped Real Madrid defeat Juventus 1-0 to set up a potential quarter-final against his brother at MetLife, New Jersey, on Saturday. Advertisement And that fixture looked odds on when Serhou Guirassy scored twice in the first 20 minutes to put the German side in control, only for Jobe to pick up a needless booking three minutes later. Jobe was booked against Ulsan in group stage, with two bookings in the tournament leading to a one-game ban. Monterrey pulled one back three minutes into the second half through German Berterame, who had a second ruled out for offside as the Mexican side pinned Dortmund back. Ultimately, Dortmund held out, meaning there will be no reunion for Sergio Ramos, the Monterrey captain, with Real Madrid, the club he represented 671 times over 16 seasons, with the 39-year-old heading a late chance wide. The game was also marred by a homophobic chant with FIFA saying it was aware that some Monterrey supporters had shouted a slur at the opposition goalkeeper during his run-up to take goal kicks. A message was displayed towards the end of the game saying the match may have to be suspended. Here The Athletic's Mark Carey, Felipe Cardenas and Oliver Kay break down the key talking points. Rip up the paper, scrunch it up in a ball, and throw it in the bin. The story of the Bellingham brothers playing a first competitive game against each other at the Club World Cup will not be happening. Jobe came into the game knowing that brother Jude and Real Madrid were waiting for the winner of this game but that a yellow card would suspend him for Dortmund's quarter-final clash should they qualify. After 27 minutes, with Dortmund already 2-0 up, Jobe tracked Monterrey's Nelson Deossa down the line with the Colombian going nowhere, before a needless late foul brought a caution that he could have avoided. The change in his body language was visceral, knowing the consequences of such a split-second decision. Jobe looked crestfallen as he saw referee Facundo Tello following him with a yellow card and it deprives the competition of what would have been a fascinating contest. The frustration remained when Jobe was substituted on 55 minutes. Just over two years younger, Jobe's path to Dortmund has followed in the footsteps of Jude but they share much of each others' games. Not only do they operate in similar positions, but it's the gait, the running style, the stature. Jobe's tendency to ghost into the box unmarked has been a hallmark of his older brother's, with the 19-year-old arguably more of a box-to-box profile if you were forced to offer differences between their traits. Advertisement A shame for the Bellingham family, of course — but given that the pair will be playing Champions League football next season, you would not bet against a family clash occurring in the near future. Mark Carey Late in the first half, with Monterrey down 2-0, Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel prepared to take a goal kick. After he sent the ball downfield, one section of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium crowd yelled a discriminatory chant that has, unfortunately, become synonymous with Mexican football. The homophobic chant grew louder in the second half each time Kobel sent a dead ball downfield. According to a FIFA representative on site in Atlanta, there is a protocol in place to first address that type of crowd behaviour and then respond to it. The objective is to give the referee the ability 'to take escalating action when such incidents occur among fans or participants.' Per FIFA, such measures are part of a new FIFA disciplinary code that has been implemented for the Club World Cup. FIFA has been criticised by anti-discrimination campaigners after football's world governing body appeared to roll back messages challenging racism or discrimination at the Club World Cup in the U.S.. After Monterrey cut the Dortmund's lead to 2-1, the crowd became even more energized and the chant was heard again. It continued throughout the second half but referee Facundo Torre allowed play to continue. In second half stoppage time, an anti-discrimination message was played over the stadium's loudspeakers. Felipe Cardenas Death, taxes, and Serhou Guirassy scoring a goal when he takes to the field. We really are in that territory of inevitability with the Guinea international in the past couple of years, with his two goals against Monterrey making it 37 for the season in all competitions as he set Borussia Dortmund on their way to secure their place into the quarter-finals. Advertisement The two finishes were clinical on Tuesday evening, both tucked into the corner of the goal with conviction and purpose as he opened his body up to fire past Monterrey goalkeeper, Esteban Andrada. In fairness, Guirassy's team-mates are under no illusion in serving him the ball, with no player having had more shots than the 29-year-old's 15 in this summer's tournament. For those who might not be Bundesliga fans, Guirassy has been one of the most clinical finishers in Germany in the past two seasons. If not for the other-worldly numbers from Bayern Munich's Harry Kane, the 29-year-old would have two Torjagerkanone's (Bundesliga top goalscorer trophy) on his mantelpiece. A tally of 28 league goals for Stuttgart in 2023-24 earned Guirassy his move to Dortmund last summer, with 21 league goals in his first campaign made all the more impressive when considering Dortmund's disappointing season overall. Collectively in that time, Guirassy's attacking rate has equated to exactly one goal per game in Germany. For Dortmund, all roads lead to Guirassy — and with good reason. Mark Carey And so the quarter-final line-up is complete. On one side of the draw, there is Palmeiras vs Chelsea on Friday afternoon, followed by Fluminense vs Al Hilal. On the other, there is Paris Saint-Germain vs Bayern Munich on Saturday afternoon, followed by Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund. It makes for a reasonable geographic spread: while there is the expected majority from Europe (two from Germany and one apiece from England, France and Spain), there are also two teams from Brazil and one from Saudi Arabia. One European finalist is guaranteed, but on the other side of the draw it is Chelsea vs the rest of the world. On tonight's evidence, Dortmund have to be considered outsiders. They rushed into a 2-0 lead with two delightful link-ups between Adeyemi and Guirassy, but they ended up grateful for some wasteful finishing from a spirited Monterrey side. Real Madrid might not be so forgiving. Oliver Kay Monterrey looked to be completely out of the match at half-time. Ramos put his hands on his hips and looked demoralised as he led his team into the tunnel. But it seemed like an inspired speech had taken place inside the Monterrey dressing room. Berterame's close-range header after a brief scramble inside the Dortmund penalty area cut the score to 2-1. Advertisement The partisan Monterrey crowd, which included neutrals in Inter Miami jerseys, turned Mercedes-Benz Stadium into a home ground for the Liga MX side. The crowd roared with each progressive pass. Monterrey's bench stood and watched a portion of the second half like cheerleaders as manager Domenec Torrent urged his side forward. The comeback was on. 'Sí se puede!' (It's possible!) was sung throughout the stadium. With the pride of North American football on the line, Monterrey showed great grit to put the Bundesliga side on their heels for the better part of the second half. Despite the result, it was a positive display on the field for Mexican football. Felipe Cardenas

Juventus coach Igor Tudor complains of tough Florida weather conditions during loss to Real Madrid
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Juventus coach Igor Tudor complained about the tough weather conditions in South Florida following the team's elimination from the Club World Cup with a 1-0 loss Tuesday to Real Madrid in the round of 16. The gametime temperature for the 3 p.m. start was 86 degrees (30 Celsius) with 70% humidity at Hard Rock Stadium, site of seven World Cup matches next year. The humidity made it feel like 90 degrees (32 Celsius). 'We played under really difficult conditions. The players were really fatigued,' Tudor said. Tudor said 10 players asked during the game to be replaced, but he did not identify them by name. After a 1-hour, 53-minute delay during a round of 16 win over Benfica on Saturday at Charlotte, North Carolina, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca had said the U.S. is not the right host country for the Club World Cup. Juventus and Inter Milan both were eliminated in the round of 16, leaving no Italian clubs in the quarterfinals. 'It's a lot of factors that weighed in," Tudor said. 'It's the end of the season. They had a lot of stress on them, that takes away energy as well and then the heat is another thing that makes things more difficult.' Juve's loss to Real is one of the least surprising results of the round of 16, but the heat wave in the United States during this past month has been of concern to players and their unions. ___
