'It's sad': Tyreek Hill's bold Dolphins claim stuns fans as ex-Chiefs star eyes emotional AFC clash
Tyreek Hill isn't just chasing another
ring—he's chasing closure. The Miami Dolphins star, once the heart of Kansas City's electric offense, now has a new target in sight: his former team.

With emotions running high and ambitions even higher, Hill has his sights set on an AFC title showdown that would pit him against the very franchise he helped build.
From Super Bowl highs to Dolphins dreams: Hill reflects on Chiefs exit
In a recent appearance on Johnny Manziel's YouTube channel, Hill gave fans a raw look into how he views the Chiefs' success in his absence. Despite Kansas City continuing to dominate, Hill didn't shy away from revealing the sting that comes with watching it from afar.
'As a fan it's great, but as a player who's been there, it's sad,' Hill admitted. 'It's like damn, them my boys, I had a chance to be there with them boys, but just watching Pat and his growth, watching Andy and how those guys roll over there, it's a beautiful thing to see.'
Hill, a 2016 fifth-round pick, was central to Kansas City's rise, contributing six elite seasons and helping secure a Super Bowl title in 2019. But his 2022 trade to Miami launched a new era—one where he's now the face of a fast, aggressive offense built around quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Hill crowns Tua No.1, dares Chiefs to meet Dolphins in AFC showdown
While Manziel floated the idea of another Chiefs Super Bowl run, Hill pushed back with full conviction. 'My Miami Dolphins taking the AFC bro, don't doubt it bro,' he responded. And if it comes down to Miami vs Kansas City?
'We all know Tua is the best quarterback in the NFL,' Hill said. 'It'll be a great thing dawg, playing against [my] former team, Andy, Pat, and the guys, Kelce, it'll be great. I don't know. It would be a very emotional game for me.'

Despite Vegas odds favoring the Chiefs (+350) over Miami (+3500), Hill's belief hasn't wavered. As he enters his third season in Miami, he's still one of the league's most explosive threats—and he's ready to prove it, especially if it means toppling the dynasty he once called home.

Nike tops Q4 sales, profit estimates as CEO doubles down on sports focus
Nike reported a smaller-than-expected drop in fourth-quarter revenue and beat profit estimates on Thursday, as CEO Elliott Hill's strategy to focus product innovation and marketing around sports begins to pay off. The company, which has been grappling with competition in the running space, has heavily invested in running shoes and sneaker lines such as Pegasus and Vomero, and tried to cut its stock of older models such as the Air Force 1 and Air Jordan 1, through discounts. Under Hill, who joined in October last year, Nike has rekindled relationships with wholesale partners, expanding the company's presence at more physical retailers, and started selling on for the first time in six years. The company's fourth-quarter revenue fell 12% to $11.10 billion, compared with analysts' expectation of a 14.9% drop to $10.72 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. Under Hill's "win now" strategy, Nike is also investing more into sport-focused marketing to regain its edge as a sports brand. The company on Thursday hosted an attempt by sponsored athlete Faith Kipyegon to run a mile in under four minutes. Paced by other star athletes in the glitzy, live-streamed event in a Paris stadium, Kipyegon fell short of the goal but set a new unofficial record. Nike reported fourth-quarter earnings per share of 14 cents, compared with analysts' average estimate of 12 cents. China continues to be a pain point in the reported quarter, the company said, as tougher economic conditions and competition hurt demand for Nike's sneakers in the country. Sales in China fell 21% in the fourth quarter, following a 17% fall in the prior three-month period. Its gross margin for the quarter ended May 31 fell 440 basis points following a 330 basis points drop in the third quarter. Nike's shares were down 2% in extended trading. They have fallen 19.6% so far this year.

"Prime Aaron Rodgers was better than Patrick Mahomes" says Ben Roethlisberger and NFL fans are divided
NFL legend says Aaron Rodgers was better in his prime than Patrick Mahomes is now Just when we thought the Patrick Mahomes GOAT hype was locked in, Ben Roethlisberger pulled a plot twist nobody saw coming. On a podcast, the Steelers legend said he'd take Aaron Rodgers in his prime over Mahomes right now and yeah, the internet basically exploded. Ben's not out here hating. In fact, he gave Mahomes major props. But his QB preference? Loud and clear. Rodgers' prime > Mahomes' now. Let's unpack what he said, why fans are spiraling, and what this means for the never-ending GOAT debate. Ben Roethlisberger's QB take is bold and it's already causing a fan civil war Here's the direct quote from Big Ben that started it all: 'I would take Aaron in his prime over Patrick now… (Pat) He'll go down as another arguable G.O.A.T. I think Aaron in his prime is better.' Ben Roethlisberger Says He Would Take PRIME AARON RODGERS Over Patrick Mahomes Now! That's a statement. Especially in 2025, when Mahomes is fresh off his third Super Bowl and still in MVP form. Ben doubled down, calling both QBs 'arguable GOATs,' but clearly siding with Rodgers' peak form his accuracy, mobility, and raw arm talent during those dominant 2011 and 2014 seasons. Mahomes fans? Not having it. NFL fans are divided and everyone's defending their guy like it's a playoff game As soon as Big Ben's Rodgers-over-Mahomes take dropped, NFL Twitter turned into the Wild West. Some fans had Rodgers' back, pointing out the nuance of winning in football, while others were quick to drop the ol' 'rings > everything' take. Here's how both sides fired off: In Rodgers' corner... @MaxonUnlimited tweeted: 'Of course, nothing against Patrick but Aaron has never had luck on his side in the playoffs. Every team needs a bit of it to win. Aaron's defense or special teams have never been a difference maker.' @8M11Rod went even harder, calling out the ring-only crowd: 'Only low IQ fans use the ring argument to say otherwise meanwhile actual legend QBs like Ben and Tom say Rodgers is better. It's almost like to win rings you need defense, special teams, and 10 other guys on offense to do their job.' 'Rodgers over Mahomes?' Ben Roethlisberger sparks major NFL fan debate. Image - X They're not wrong, Rodgers' postseason exits are full of blocked punts, blown leads, and defenses that couldn't hold a fourth-quarter stop if their lives depended on it. Meanwhile, Mahomes stans clapped back immediately... @330ITI fired: 'That's cool so he should have SOME rings to show for it then right?' @Uggg (aka Mark Collins) didn't sugarcoat it either: 'Yeah, not even close. Mahomes is better.' 'Rodgers over Mahomes?' Ben Roethlisberger sparks major NFL fan debate. X They make a point, Mahomes already has three Super Bowl rings, multiple MVPs, and one of the best playoff résumés in NFL history, and he's only 28. The stats say it's close but Mahomes is gaining fast Let's compare the two legends side by side: Category Prime Aaron Rodgers Current Patrick Mahomes MVPs 4 MVPs (2011, 2014, 2020, 2021) 2 MVPs (2018, 2022) Super Bowls 1 win (2010 season) 3 wins (2019, 2022, 2023 seasons) Peak season 45 TDs, 6 INTs (2011) 50 TDs, 5,097 yds (2018 MVP year) Play style Elite accuracy + mobility Clutch improviser + high football IQ Rodgers might be the 'prettier' passer, but Mahomes has already done what Rodgers couldn't—build a dynasty. So, is Ben stuck in the past or just giving flowers to a QB who might've been too smooth for his own good?

FIFA Club World Cup 2025: Big teams and bigger surprises - recap of group stage
AP Photo As the 21st edition of the FIFA Club World Cup moves towards the Round of 16, the competition's facelift has provided multiple storylines. From the number of teams participating to a newly designed trophy, more venues and even a referee cam, the competition in the United States has gone closer to its namesake - the quadrennial World Cup. The organisers have called it "a celebration of hope, excellence and pride, embodying the journey of every club, player and fan united in their passion for the beautiful game." With several new debutants and the tournament now being a month-long event, the competition has changed in stature. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Now, teams from all six confederations - 12 teams from Europe, 6 from South America, 4 from Africa, 4 from Asia, 4 from North, Central America and Caribbean, 1 from Oceania, and 1 team from the host nation complete the 2025 line-up. With the group stage done and dusted and just 16 teams left in the running, it is fair to say that this edition of the Club World Cup has had its fair share of upsets, David vs Goliath matchups and some heated moments, literally and figuratively. Auckland City hold their ground in a historic result Ranked 4,971st in the Opta Power Rankings, Auckland City went in as the lowest ranked side in the Club World Cup. They were grouped alongside Bayern Munich, Benfica and Boca Juniors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Emergency Generators in Pakigne: (Prices May Surprise You) Emergency Generator | Search Ads Search Now Undo To put things into context, Auckland City are made up of amateurs, play in the Northern League in New Zealand, comprising just 12 teams. Auckland suffered a brutal 0-10 loss against Bayern Munich to start with - the biggest defeat in this year's tournament - which was followed by a 0-6 thumping from Benfica. Already eliminated and with nothing to lose, Auckland faced Argentinian giants Boca Juniors in their last game. In what can only be described as a David-Goliath matchup, the underdogs denied Boca a spot in the Round of 16, who were in need of a win to progress. A difference of 4,819 ranking points and Boca's historical success made the 1-1 draw all the more sweet for the amateurs. Messi and Miami power through to the Round of 16 Grouped alongside giants Porto, Al Ahly and Palmeiras, Lionel Messi's Inter Miami were expected to be swept aside. Instead, the Argentine No 10, supported by Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, powered through to the Round of 16, after finishing second in Group A. While the Herons could only pick up one win, it was enough to qualify. After a stalemate against Al Ahly in the tournament opener, Miami were up against Portuguese giants Porto. In what seemed like a difficult task for Miami, Messi's timeless brilliance, exemplified by a stunning free kick, earned them a 2-1 win. Miami drew their final game 2-2 against Brazil's Palmeiras, and confirmed their berth in the last 16. A 'heated' Club World Cup Tensions boiled over on the final matchday in Group E, where River Plate needed a win to make it to the last 16. Inter, however, denied them that pleasure. At the full-time whistle, River's Marcos Acuna and Inter's Denzel Dumfries nearly came to blows, needing an entire team and support staff to intervene. The feud, which first began three years ago, saw Argentina's Acuna show Netherlands' Dumfries the 2022 World Cup trophy logo on his shin guard. At the tournament, Argentina had beaten Netherlands in a heated quarter-final which finished on penalties. Heated moments weren't restricted to the players, as heatwaves and extreme temperatures saw teams give their players ice baths and cold towels. Borussia Dortmund went a step further, making their substitutes watch the game against Mamelodi Sundowns from the locker room and not from the bench to protect them from the blistering heat. Their coach likened the playing conditions to that of a 'sauna'. Thunderstorms and lightning also resulted in at least five games being delayed. But it isn't just ice packs, but ICE (US Immigration and Customs Enforcement) who have been a presence at the tournament, making it the first to do so. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will also be a part of the tournament's setup, with non-citizens needing proof of legal status to attend games. Concerns for the upcoming World Cup? With less than a year to go for the 2026 FIFA World Cup , set to be co-hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada, its precursor has revealed several issues. From pitch quality, to heat and weather in general, the tournament hasn't been a smooth one to say the least. Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham called out the poor pitch conditions, saying "The pitches aren't great here. The pitches aren't great at all," said the 21-year-old after his side's match against Pachuca at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. 'New' tournament, same old favourites Besides the underdog stories, major upsets and more teams, the tournament still remains a hunting ground for Europe's best. Giants like Real Madrid and Manchester City still remain favourites to win the prize. Five teams from the eight groups - Seattle Sounders, Urawa Reds, Ulsan, Wydad AC and Pachuca - were eliminated without a single point. List of qualified teams for Round of 16 Group A: Palmeiras, Inter Miami Group B: Paris Saint-Germain, Botafogo Group C: Bayern Munich, Benfica Group D: Flamengo, Chelsea Group E: Inter Milan, Monterrey Group F: Borussia Dortmund, Fluminense Group G: Manchester City, Juventus Group H: Real Madrid, Al Hilal Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story.
