Why Did WWE Waste This Year’s Royal Rumble? Find Out!
The veteran star previously participated several times in the Men’s Elimination Chamber matches. He was part of some of the most iconic Chamber matches, and this year, Randy Orton is set to make history. It will be Orton’s 10th Elimination Chamber match, thus holding the record for most appearances in the history of Elimination Chamber matches.
So, to hold this major record, Randy Orton qualified for the Men’s Chamber match and secured the victory on this week’s SmackDown.
#2. To add much-needed star power
WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 is set to stream live on February 28, 2026, from the United Center in Chicago. It will be the final PLE stop on the road to WrestleMania 42.

Considering this, WWE needed some star power in the Elimination Chamber traditional match, as it escalates the match hype and generates more buzz. Orton is one of the most popular stars and the only active talent from the generation of John Cena, Triple H, The Rock, Stone Cold, and others. His inclusion could be done to add star power to the showdown.
#1. To set up a match with Cody Rhodes at WWE WrestleMania
Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre’s feud is still unfinished on SmackDown. During this week’s show, The American Nightmare warned the Undisputed WWE Champion that he will not enter Mania as the titleholder.
This suggests that, despite Rhodes and Jacob being part of the Men’s Elimination Chamber qualifying match, a title showdown may happen before this year’s Showcase of the Immortals. This scenario sparks the chances of Cody winning the Undisputed Title before Mania.
If that happens, then the sports entertainment juggernaut could be planning for a match between Cody and Orton, which could be the reason behind The Viper’s victory. It’s been a long time since fans have been anticipating a match between these two real-life friends.

If Rhodes wins the Undisputed Championship before Mania and Randy wins the Chamber match, it will finally set up the dream feud at The Grandest Stage of Them All. Rest assured, it will be interesting to see how the storyline will unfold and what plans WWE has in store for us.

He wasn’t a game-wrecker for the Minnesota Vikings, but running back Roger Craig indeed played 29 games for the franchise in the early 1990s and is indeed a Hall of Famer. The NFL announced the 2026 class on Thursday night, and Craig broke through.
Craig’s long wait ends, and the Vikings’ Hall conversation shifts from celebration to who could realistically follow him into Canton.
Depending on next year’s votes, Minnesota could send back-to-back Vikings tailbacks to the Hall: Craig and Adrian Peterson.

Roger Craig’s Road to Canton
You better believe Craig finished his career in Minnesota.

Craig Gets the HOF Nod
Craig is in. 49ers.com’s Briana Jeannel wrote Thursday, “The Pro Football Hall of Fame revealed its Class of 2026 during NFL Honors on Thursday night, with former 49ers running back Roger Craig adding his name to the list of NFL greats.”
“Craig was selected by the 49ers in the second round of the 1983 NFL Draft out of the University of Nebraska and became a key figure in San Francisco’s dynasty of the 1980s. A versatile offensive weapon, Craig was a superstar on 49ers head coach Bill Walsh’s West Coast offense, contributing as both a rusher and receiver.”

He became eligible for the Hall in 1999. The man has waited nearly three decades for this moment.
His Stop with the Vikings
In the final two seasons of his career, Craig joined a couple of Vikings RB rooms that included Terry Allen, Barry Word, Scottie Graham, and Robert Smith — basically the aftermath of the failed Herschel Walker trade era.
He logged 868 yards from scrimmage and 6 touchdowns, and primarily served as the RB3. Think Cam Akers in the last couple of seasons with the current Vikings or Zavier Scott in 2025. It was the dawn of the Dennis Green era.

Minnesota reached the postseason in both Craig campaigns but obviously lost before the Super Bowl. It’s a familiar MIN theme since 1976.
Overall Production
Craig logged 8,189 rushing yards in 11 seasons, ranking 47th in NFL history. But he also banked 4,911 receiving yards on 566 career receptions, solidifying his case for the Hall. It had to be the receiving threat because the rushing numbers alone were not enough. For example, the aforementioned Terry Allen rushed for more yards than Craig in his career, and Allen is absolutely nowhere near Hall of Fame consideration.

The deal-sealer for Craig? Three Super Bowls with the 49ers. Those markedly increased his visibility — rightfully so — rubbing shoulders with Joe Montana and Jerry Rice, two HOF automatics.
All told, Craig won Offensive Player of the Year in 1988, was a four-time Pro Bowler, and a two-time All-Pro.

The Other Inductees
Aside from Craig, who got the nod from voters for lifetime achievement and patience, the other inductees were no-brainers:
Drew Brees (QB)
Larry Fitzgerald (WR)
Luke Kuechly (LB)
Adam Vinatieri (K)
Not a single soul had major beef with the Hall’s choices from that list.
And the voters needed that after the Bill Belichick debacle last week. Mind-bogglingly, the voting committee did not grant Belichick entry on his first attempt.
Fitzgerald fulfilled his Hall of Fame destiny, a notable moment from a Minnesota standpoint because he was a ballboy for the Vikings in the late 1990s.

Arizona Sports‘ Tyler Drake on Fitzgerald’s induction: “Fitzgerald amassed 17,492 receiving yards on 1,432 receptions throughout 17 NFL seasons. There’s only one pass catcher in NFL history who can truly say they did more in those departments: Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, who sits atop the leaderboard for the most receiving yards (22,895) and catches (1,549).”
“Fitzgerald, however, has a leg up on Rice in another aspect — one that Cardinals fans truly appreciate. He stayed put! In a world where athletes change teams on the regular looking for that next big pay day, Fitzgerald was among the anomalies. Seventeen seasons, 263 games played, all with the Cardinals.”

Down the stretch of Fitzgerald’s illustrious career, Vikings fans hoped he’d sign in Minnesota to make the story full circle. No luck.
Drake added, “And although he trails Rice in the categories mentioned above, it’s Fitzgerald holding the top spot when it comes to getting it done with one team. Rice really made a name for himself during his 49ers tenure, but it was Fitzgerald who strung together a better statistical career in the place he was drafted.”
“Fitzgerald also did it with 17 different starting quarterbacks! Despite that many cooks in the kitchen, he still found a way to consistently impact games.”

The aforementioned Adrian Peterson will be eligible for induction in 2027.
Peter Andersson still remembers the sound of the phone ringing.
Not the roar of an Olympic crowd, not the crunch of a blue‑line hit, not even the unmistakable glide of Borje Salming beside him.
No, the moment that still echoes loudest came in 1994, just as he stepped out the door toward what he thought would be his second Olympic Games.
“I booked the flight, and as I’m walking out of my house to get to the taxi, the phone rings,” said the 60-year-old Swede.

“Somebody from the office in New York said, ‘Hey, you can’t go, because if you go, the Rangers have to put you on waivers, and they don’t want to.’ So I had to cancel everything, stayed home, and then I watched on TV when Sweden won the gold medal.”
He pauses, letting the sting of it breathe.
“I was close to having a gold medal, but I couldn’t go.”
32 Thoughts: The Podcast
Hockey fans already know the name, but this is not the blog. From Sportsnet, 32 Thoughts: The Podcast with NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman and Kyle Bukauskas is a weekly deep dive into the biggest news and interviews from the hockey world.
That’s the kind of heartbreak that never fully leaves a player. And it’s the kind of story you tell your son when he’s about to live the dream you were denied.

“That’s funny, I didn’t know that,” chuckled his son, Rasmus Andersson, who will pull on the Tre Kronor at the Olympics later this week, carrying the family lineage into a new generation.
“He doesn’t really tell us a lot about the Olympics. He said about ’92 it was the coolest experience he had, playing with Borje, but he doesn’t go in depth. He said, ‘You’ll see when you get there.’”
For Rasmus, the mystery is part of the appeal.
“Half the Olympic experience is staying with other athletes, and seeing what they do, and how they get prepared,” said the 29-year-old Golden Knights defenceman.

“I think that part will be cool. In our life, it’s just game, hotel, flights, come home. I bet you it will be like your first year in the NHL when you experience everything for the first time. At the end of the day, you’re there for hockey, and that’s the one thing you know what to do. Everything around you, just appreciate the two weeks you have there and take it as it comes.”
Peter certainly approached it with wide eyes as a 27‑year‑old defenceman from Malmö who got the call every Swedish kid dreams of: You’re going to the Olympics.
But the real jaw‑dropper came next.
“The coach called to say he picked me for the team, and that he had a bit of an issue: ‘I want you to play with Borje Salming, but you have to play on the right side’” said Peter of his introduction to the 1992 Olympics in Albertville, France.
Advertisement
“I never played on the right side, but I said, ‘Oh, s—, that’s no problem.’ Borje Salming was my idol growing up. Everybody’s idol. He was a legend in Sweden.”
Imagine growing up with a giant poster of Salming over your bed, then sharing a blue line with the Hall of Famer.
“He was a machine,” said Peter, who played parts of three NHL seasons with the Rangers and Panthers.
“He worked so hard, did absolutely everything for his teammates. A great guy in the locker room. You can’t be better than that.”

Rasmus, who is known for being the consummate team player, knows what it’s like to be in awe of teammates.
“At 4 Nations I caught myself just staring at Erik Karlsson and Victor Hedman doing power-play drills,” he said.
“I was the seventh d‑man and was just like, ‘Oh my god.’ Honestly, I just wanted to be a good teammate and would just stand there and watch them. When I see these guys, I totally understand why I’m not playing. You do your thing and I’ll just try to keep the room a little loose. It was a pinch‑me moment of guys I really looked up to.”
And he knows what the Olympics mean back home.

“In Sweden it’s always The Big 3 – (Mats) Sundin, (Peter) Forsberg and (Nicklas) Lidstrom, because of the 2006 Olympics,” he said.
“If you want to build your brand after your career, especially in Sweden, it’s all about performing in the Olympics.”
The 1992 Games weren’t the NHL‑star‑studded spectacle they are today. Back then, only non‑NHL pros could participate, which gave the tournament a more intimate feel.
Peter remembers Swedish skiers showing up at their games, cheering them on. He remembers going to watch skiing events with teammates. He remembers the apartments, five guys together, cooking meals, hanging out, living like university roommates with national pride on the line.

“I hope Rasmus and his teammates take some time to see some other stuff,” said Peter, who recently paused his coaching career in Sweden, just in time to join his daughter at the Olympics in Milan.
He knows the Games are bigger than hockey.
Years after the 1994 heartbreak, Peter was playing in Malmö when a teammate, Christian Due‑Boje, walked into practice with something shiny.
“He brought his gold medal with him,” said Peter.
Advertisement
“He shows me and goes, ‘Shake my hand.’ And says thank you. I said, ‘What are you talking about?’ He said, ‘Yeah, I got picked instead of you. Here’s the gold medal. You can feel it if you want, but I can’t give it to you.’”
Although his Swedish team lost just once at the ’92 Games, Peter came home empty-handed, with a fifth-place showing.
What he kept were the memories. And now, he’s passing them on.
“A gold medal… could have been for me, but I didn’t get any medal,” he said.

He doesn’t say it with bitterness.
He says it with pride and hope, because his son is about to write the next chapter.

A few days after taking a diplomatic stance on the upcoming Super Bowl, Tom Brady changed his approach and sent support to his longtime team on Friday.
Brady won six Super Bowls as New England’s quarterback, but he said earlier this week regarding the Patriots’ pending matchup with the Seattle Seahawks, “I don’t have a dog in the fight in this one. May the best team win.”
Roasted publicly by ex-teammates who decried his position, Brady took to Instagram on Friday to laud Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
Posting a photo of Kraft smiling alongside him, Brady wrote, “You know I got your back RKK. Get that seventh ring so we can match.”

Following his time with the Patriots, Brady added to his record Super Bowl ring collection by guiding the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a title.
Theories about why Brady initially was reluctant to back the Patriots for the Sunday game in Santa Clara, Calif., revolved around his current two roles: as an NFL analyst for Fox Sports and as a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.
Swiss skier Franjo von Allmen claimed the first gold medal at the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics with a swift victory in the men’s Olympic downhill on Saturday. The Swiss racer was closely followed by Italians Giovanni Franzoni and Dominik Paris.
Officials of Pyramids FC of Egypt have praised the pitch at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, describing it as one of the best in Africa.
Speaking on Saturday, February 7, 2026, ahead of their CAF Champions League Matchday Five clash against Rivers United, the reigning African champions said the grass surface was excellent and suitable for high-quality football.
The comments were made after their inspection of the pitch before the mandatory pre-match press conference at the facility. They noted that the good condition of the pitch would allow both teams to play their best football, entertain fans expected at the stadium on Sunday by 5pm, and help them pursue their target of victory.

Croatian coach Krunoslav Jurčić, the current manager of the Egyptian side, said he had visited many stadiums across Africa, but poor pitches often made it difficult for his team to play their passing style of football.
“I have been to many stadiums in Africa, and most pitches make it hard to play good football. That is why many teams rely on long balls,” Jurčić said. “But this is a natural grass pitch in very good condition, and it will make for an interesting game on Sunday evening.”
Egyptian international defender Ossama Galal also echoed his coach’s views, adding that the excellent pitch allows players to “display their best qualities” during matches.

The 11-year-old stadium is the home of the Super Eagles of Nigeria and has hosted several international and continental club matches, continuing to earn praise from visiting teams and officials.
Pyramids FC are the reigning champions of the CAF Champions League and will face Rivers United of Nigeria at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium at 5pm on Sunday, February 8, 2026.
Takeda Shingen in Nioh 3 is the first major antagonist of the game, and you will have to fight against him during the concluding hours of the Warring States story arc. During The Battle of Mikatagahara mission, you will face off against him for the first time.
This article will cover how to defeat Takeda Shingen in Nioh 3 during The Battle of Mikatagahara main story quest.
How to defeat Takeda Shingen in Nioh 3 (The Battle of Mikatagahara)
During The Battle of Mikatagahara main story quest in Nioh 3, you will come face-to-face against Takeda Shingen, a rival daimyo to the Tokugawa, who is fighting your grandfather, Tokugawa Ieyasu, for the seat of the shogun. Once you defeat Yamagata Masakage, a Crucible will form, and as you try to destroy its core, the final obstacle will be Takeda Shingen in Nioh 3.

Let’s take a look at how to counter his moves and defeat him:
Best setup
Guardian Spirit (Samurai): Shin-Roku
Guardian Spirit (Ninja): Kusagami
Hino-enma summon
Most of your build will depend on what weapon and gear you are compatible with. But when it comes to your Guardian Spirit, use Shin-Roku and Kusagami, as they work the best due to Takeda Shingen being resistant to Wind and Fire. Summon will also depend on you, but having the Hino-enma (Abundant Evil side quest) will allow you to momentarily paralyze the boss.

Attack Patterns
Shingen can begin the battle with either one of the following two moves: He will charge at you and swing his Naginata, or he will jump and bring down his Naginata on your head. You can dodge both
Shingen can block your attacks. Make sure to get to a slight range and hit him with your Ninjutsu to break his defensive stance (indicated by white talismans flying out). He will counter you if you try to hit him with your melee attacks during this time.
Shingen’s attacks will mostly be a swing and then a thrust.
Be careful of his unblockable attack, where he will thrust his Naginata forward. If he grabs you, he will initiate a finisher.
His burst attack can be countered by activating your burst counter as his weapon is about to land on you.
After you land enough damage (chip his HP down to 60 percent), he will ignite his weapon. Most of his combos will remain the same.
There is an additional attack that he will initiate, where he will call upon his guardian spirit. Side step to dodge this attack
At around 40 percent HP, he will gain Wind Damage on his weapon. In this mode, he can call his Guardian Spirit, which will throw three projectiles at you.
Additional Tips
Use Hino-enma to block any attack that you are unsure of being able to dodge
During the fight with Takeda Shingen in Nioh 3, you won’t be able to gain your Living Artifact bar that quickly. Call back your guardian spirit and farm the enemies outside of the arena.
Try to save your Living Artifact for the final stage of the battle.
Defeating Takeda Shingen in Nioh 3 will unlock the following rewards:
Basket Blade and Boar Cutter
Potsticker Spear
Reputation
Title: Takeda Shingen Crusher

Ski Jumping – Ski Flying World Championships – Heini-Klopfer Ski Flying Hill, Oberstdorf, Germany – January 25, 2026 Norway’s Marius Lindvik in action during the men’s team HS235 first round REUTERS/Kai Pfaffenbach
PREDAZZO, Italy — Norwegian ski jumpers greeted with skepticism suggestions that anti-doping officials must now police their anatomy as well as their equipment after regulators said they would stay alert to rumors of athletes artificially enlarging their genitals to exploit suit rules at the Milan Cortina Olympics.
The sport briefly found itself in an absurd spotlight after the World Anti-Doping Agency signaled it would watch for evidence of manipulation, following a report in German newspaper Bild which raised fears of some male ski jumpers attempting to manipulate the 3D body-scanning measurements used to size competition suits by temporarily enlarging their penises.
Skiing’s governing body also dismissed talk of competitors injecting paraffin or hyaluronic acid for aerodynamic gain.
Jumpers said the speculation had travelled faster than any athlete down the in-run — and with considerably less grounding.
The story gained international attention and took the spotlight from the competition that is about to start on Saturday with the women’s normal hill individual event.

For many of the Norwegian ski jumpers, talk of a creative attempt to gain extra inches in their jumps was met with skepticism and head-shaking, with several dismissing it as a gimmick and hearsay.
“I do not think we need that kind of attention, and on the women’s side we are quite calm about the subject,” Norway women’s coach Christian Meyer told Reuters.
“I have not seen anything like it, so I am also wondering whether it is true. I actually do not believe it, but if someone is that sick …”

Ski jumper Anna Odine Stroem said the controversy reflected poorly on the sport.
“If it takes something like this to get people watching ski jumping, I do not know what to think. It is sad that we need controversy for people to find our sport endearing or exciting,” she said.
“That is not something we want in our sport,” Johann Andre Forfang added, while fellow Norwegian Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal suggested the spotlight would be better directed elsewhere.
“All interest is good interest, but I wish it came more from what is happening on the hills,” Sundal said.

The rematch is Saturday night in Portland.
Scoot Henderson (hamstring) made his season debut for the Trail Blazers and had 11 points, nine assists and five rebounds in 21 minutes off the bench.
Reserve Vit Krejci had 11 points in 23 minutes in his second game since Portland acquired him from the Atlanta Hawks.

Memphis shot 47.7% from the field and was 15 of 41 (36.6%) from behind the arc.
The Trail Blazers led by four at halftime outscoring Memphis 38-23 in the third quarter.
It was a two-point margin before Portland scored 21 of the next 27 points to take a 94-77 lead on Grant’s trey with 3:54 left in the quarter.

The Trail Blazers led 106-87 entering the final quarter. Rupert made two 3-pointers in the first 88 seconds of the period as Portland increased its lead to 114-90. The Trail Blazers led by as many as 30.
Grant scored 14 first-half points as Portland led 68-64 at the break. Wells had 11 in the half for the Grizzlies.
Memphis never trailed in the first quarter and led by as many as 15 before settling for a 36-25 advantage through 12 minutes.
But Portland shot 70% from the field (14 of 20) in the second quarter en route to holding a four-point halftime edge.
Man Utd play Tottenham in the Premier League on Saturday and Michael Carrick explained his team selection.
Michael Carrick has reiterated Benjamin Sesko is important at Manchester United after again naming the striker on the bench. United won 3-2 against Fulham last weekend and Carrick has made no changes following that result.
Sesko scored a late matchwinner against Fulham, but he has been named on the bench to face Tottenham, with Carrick sticking by the players who performed at Old Trafford last weekend.

Carrick has enjoyed a dream start to his interim role, winning against Manchester City, Arsenal and Fulham, and the 44-year-old is hoping to extend that sequence against Spurs.
Speaking to TNT Sports about the decision to stick with Sesko on the bench, Carrick said: “Ben’s been fantastic. He’s going to be a big player for us and everything I’ve seen from him is really encouraging. Today was just a decision I’ve made but Ben will come on and make a big difference for us again.”

Asked about the game plan, he said: “I’ve not had to pass an awful lot on. They’ve been fantastic, there’s been little pieces about taking the ball up the pitch but it’s mainly about trusting them to express themselves.”
Carrick also discussed the partnership between Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo, saying: “I haven’t really had to pass any tips onto him yet. Case and Kobbie have been fantastic. “I’ve given them little bits of advice and trusting them on finding their way and expressing themselves.”
Tottenham are unbeaten in their last eight meetings with United in all competitions (W5 D3), which is their longest ever run without defeat against the Reds. However, United are fourth in the Premier League table after three wins on the bounce.
