Wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson had his introductory press conference on Wednesday after joining the Tennessee Titans.
During this interview, quarterback Cam Ward crashed the press conference, which was held virtually. He questioned Robinson about his thoughts on playing alongside him on the Titans.
Thanks for the submission!

“Wandale, how excited are you to play with Cam Ward,” the Titans quarterback asked.

“My dog! I appreciate you,” Robinson said. “You know, I’m ready to play with you. That’s part of the reason I came.”
Wan’Dale Robinson began his NFL journey with the New York Giants. They drafted him with the 43rd overall pick in 2022. In four seasons, he recorded 2,465 yards on 268 receptions and nine touchdowns. However, the wide receiver failed to make the playoffs even once.
Last season, the Giants finished dead last in the NFC East with a 4-13 record. Robinson recorded 1,014 yards on 92 receptions and four touchdowns. Last Thursday, he finalized a four-year deal worth $78 million with the Titans.
This move reunites him with his former coach Brian Daboll. He coached the Giants from 2022 to 2025, but was fired midway through last season. In January, Titans new coach Robert Saleh hired him as the new offensive coordinator of the team.
Wan’Dale Robinson reveals what the Titans can expect from him in 2026
During his introductory press conference, Wan’Dale Robinson did not shy away from talking about his strengths. He also opened up about what to expect from him as he joins the Titans for a new journey.
“I think the biggest thing is toughness, and making impact plays,” Robinson said as per SI. “Just doing a lot of different things for an offense, being able to move the chess piece that can always line up in different places where defenses can’t exactly know what and when I’m going to do stuff.
“Obviously, they believed in me, and it’s great to have that feeling of being wanted. So obviously, you want to make them proud and make them feel like they made the right decision in choosing me. And for myself, I want to show I can have success here and help this thing get going on the right track.”
Last season, the Titans finished fourth in the AFC South with a 3-14 record. This resulted in the firing of coach Brian Callahan in October after a 1-5 start. In February, new Giants coach John Harbaugh hired him as the quarterbacks coach and pass game coordinator.
Luis Enrique has been linked with the Manchester United job this summer and was directly asked a question regarding his future
Luis Enrique laughed at the suggestion of snubbing Manchester United while admitting he’s keen to stay at Paris Saint-Germain. That’s if comments made to a fan are anything to go by.
However, despite how well Carrick has performed, he is not guaranteed to stay in the role beyond the season and is only contracted until the summer, when the supposed plan is to appoint a permanent head coach.

PSG boss Enrique is one of many reported names on United’s shortlist. But a recent fan interaction perhaps indicates that the 55-year-old, whose deal in Paris expires in 2027, wants to stay put.
In a video circulating online, Enrique stopped his car to sign autographs for fans when one stated: “I hope you stay with PSG for a long time.”

The Spanish manager’s reply was telling as he said: “Me too.” The same fan then brought United into the mix and added: “Not at United though?” Enrique just laughed off this suggestion.
If this conversation is to be taken literally then Enrique wants to remain PSG boss. Latest reports suggest that while he is yet to come to a new agreement, his renewal is one of the French club’s top priorities.
Regardless, a pair of former Premier League stars would rather keep Carrick at the wheel. Ex-Chelsea ace Jody Morris and former Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott discussed the United job last month and came to a clear agreement.
Speaking on In The Mixer brought to you by Sky Bet, Morris said: “I have a lot of time for Michael Carrick. He was on my Pro Licence course and I’ve been on a few League Managers’ Association things with him.

“He’s an astute student of the game. Straight away, he comes in and Kobbie Mainoo’s in there and he’s been brilliant. It would be criminal not to give him the job if he carries on.”
Morris was then asked if he’d take Enrique over Carrick if he were available in the summer. He replied: “I’d still go with Carrick, because I honestly don’t think Enrique would come to United.”
Lescott agreed. He said: “I don’t know if Enrique goes there because I don’t think he sees them as genuine contenders. I think Carrick should get the job because I don’t know if Enrique will help them become contenders.

“I think Carrick definitely does that. I think he has a stronger connection to the club, the fans, everything to help them get to that stage.”

Utah State enters its First-Round matchup in San Diego as a slight favorite over Villanova, despite being the lower seed.
A big reason for that is the high level of play the Aggies have shown down the stretch. USU is also a much healthier squad than the Wildcats at the moment.
But let’s not lose sight of the fact that Utah State also enters the national tournament as a team that can score with almost anyone.
The Aggies also play enough defense to beat opponents on the other end of the floor.

Here is my preview of Friday’s NCAA Tournament matchup.
No. 9 Utah State vs No. 8 Villanova
Friday, March 20 1:10 pm PT, TNT San Diego, CA
The Aggies are averaging 82.8 points per game on 49.8% from the field, the 15th-best shooting team in the nation.
On the defensive side of the ball, Utah State is limiting opponents to 70.4 points per game, slightly better than Villanova’s 70.8.
But the Aggies score the ball a lot better than the Wildcats.

What makes Utah State so difficult to contain is the combination of Mason Falslev and MJ Collins. The two have combined to knockdown 38.1% of their 328 three-point attempts this season.
Falslev, the MW player of the year, is also connecting on 41.1% of his triples.
When the Aggies get a good look at the basket, they are deadly on offense. USU is 14th in the nation, shooting 65.9% on non-blocked two-point shots this season.
Villanova has allowed opponents to shoot 45% from the floor this season, ranking 203rd in the country, while opponents are connecting on 54.8% of their clean two-point FGs.

The Wildcats rely heavily on the three-pointer to score; 37.4% of Villanova’s points this season have come from distance, the 39th highest rate in the nation.

Utah State has done a decent job of limiting opponents on deep shots, allowing opponents to connect on 33.8% of their three-point attempts.
The Aggies cannot afford to allow Villanova to get hot from beyond the arc.
The ‘Cats have a plethora of shooters led by Tyler Perkins and Bryce Lindsay, while Devin Askew is a threat off the bench.
Askew earned Big East Sixth Man of the Year accolades with his 10.0 points per game off the bench. The transfer from Grand Canyon is eighth in the nation with 4.03 offensive rebounds per game.

The biggest key for Utah State on defense might just be limiting the offensive put-backs by Nova’s center, Duke Brennan. The big man’s 10.3 boards per outing ranks 11th-best in the country.
The Aggies are not allowing a ton of extra possessions per game this season, as they are 31st nationally with 3.5 more scoring chances per game than their opponents.
Villanova is getting 2.8 more scoring chances per game than their opponents.
If the Wildcats can get hot from distance, they will be able to keep this one tight. If the shots are not falling, it could go south in a hurry for the third-place team from the Big East.

Chris Waller’s favorable Golden Slipper barrier outcomes have not repeated for Group 1 The Galaxy, positioning his single runner Generosity to exit from the farthest gate.
Only first reserve Catch The Glory sits wider, so Generosity occupies barrier 14 externally if no emergencies enter.
In the 20 most recent The Galaxy (1100m) runnings, six winners hailed from wide double-digit draws, with Russian Revolution alone claiming victory from post 14 in 2017.
Generosity enjoys champion jockey James McDonald aboard as she approaches Saturday’s headline sprint riding a resurgence win, pip by pip overreturning Golden Slipper winner Marhoona in the Challenge Stakes (1000m).

A $10 prospect that day, she evaded most gamblers’ attention, though Waller remained unfazed.
“No. We picked the race and then chose not to run in other races, so it was good to see the result,” Waller said.
“She has promised a good win. She has been unlucky in some good races, so when she got out in clear air, it was good to see her do it.”
Her early outings in Perth yielded a placing in 2025’s The Quokka (1200m), then a promising fifth closing strongly in Group 1 The Goodwood (1200m) at Morphettville back in May.

Joining Waller’s operation next, she ran respectably versus Lady Shenandoah in the Concorde Stakes (1000m) of September, placed behind Joliestar and Briasa in The Shorts (1100m), and trailed Rothfire by a pair of lengths in the Sydney Stakes (1200m).
Achieving Listed success up to 1400m, Generosity’s proficiency over brief distances keeps Waller open regarding her prime trip.
“When we got her, we thought, we’ll pick out a 1300 or 1400 metre ‘good race’,” Waller said.
“But she has actually been quite sharp.”

Last season’s T J Smith Stakes conqueror Briasa makes a buzzed-about reappearance in the Galaxy, backed by two striking barrier trial triumphs.
His potent first-up stats accompany 58.5kg; a victory would set a 20-year weight record, topping Eduardo (2021) and Temple Of Boom (2012) who managed 57kg, ahead of any over 55.5kg.
NEW DELHI: Veteran Pakistan batter Ahmed Shehzad has openly criticised the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) after the team’s recent poor performances. He also drew a stark comparison between player quality in the IPL and PSL.“If you look at the IPL, they’ve got many superstars in their league who make the league competitive. Teams there invest for years, building strength,” Shehzad said on his YouTube channel.“On the other hand, PSL has hired retired players and commentators and made them superstars over the last 3–4 years; even retired players become your brand faces. They get money, but what have they actually built? I think this sums up what PSL has become.”

In the T20 World Cup, Pakistan failed to reach the semifinals and then suffered a disappointing ODI series defeat against Bangladesh, prompting a strong reaction from the cricketer. He described the current phase as one of the weakest he has seen and blamed both players and management for the decline.
Strong criticism of players and PCB
Shehzad questioned the quality and impact of the current group of players, especially those who have been consistently backed by the board. He said, “The calibre of your players is not at that level, which was built up as a brand by the Pakistan Cricket Board for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 5 and 7 years ago. These 6-8 boys… they are also the face of the PSL. They are also the face of our Pakistan team. Will they change Pakistan’s destiny?”He further accused the PCB of heavily investing in a small group of players without getting results. “You provided all the sponsorships to those boys, endorsed them, and invested money in them. You gave them captaincies in the PSL, right? You made them the thumb of the Pakistan team. You handed over the entire Pakistan cricket team to those 6 boys and their agents. And what have they done now? The fire they have lit in the jungle, the fun and parties they have had, the pockets they have filled, the enjoyment they have had… they haven’t given Pakistan any wins by doing so,” he added.

‘PCB looks weak, players not accountable’
Shehzad also slammed the players for not taking responsibility and said the board appears powerless in front of them. “Such is the audacity (of the players) that even today, they are not ready to admit that we are responsible. Not a single one of those players. Even today, they play the blame game. Even today, their ego is such that it isn’t breaking. So weak is the Pakistan Cricket Board now,” he said.He concluded with a harsh take on PCB’s functioning, adding, “Whenever you talk about any player, they start spinning stories. I have never seen the Pakistan Cricket Board this weak in my life, as weak as this PCB is. They have power, right? But in their decision-making, they appear to be kneeling before their players. This PCB can’t do anything. The work they were supposed to do — bringing in new faces — they didn’t. What they do is, after every event, they try to pull a new trick, but the public has now caught their pattern.”
Manchester is set to host it’s sixth heavyweight world title fight when Fabio Wardley attempts a first defence of his WBO crown, tasked with former IBF ruler Daniel Dubois. Ahead of the showdown, fellow British heavyweight Derek Chisora has altered his prediction.
Wardley has shown the guts and guile of a worthy champion in wins over Justis Huni and Joseph Parker, as well as in his draw with Frazer Clarke back in 2024.
Although, after being elevated to become a world champion, the unbeaten Ipswich fan-favourite remains unproven as a true titleholder in the eyes of some.
A second defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last July brought his reign to an early end.
The May meeting between the domestic duo is poised to be a cracker, but when originally quizzed on the outcome, fellow heavyweight Chisora gave the edge to the champion, believing Wardley’s mental toughness to be the difference maker.
“I believe that Fabio and Daniel [is a] great fight. I see Fabio winning it. Fabio’s tough. Fabio hasn’t got boxing skills; what he has is f***ing heart, bro. When you fight somebody with heart, it’s going to be a long night. He got hit [against Parker], but he carries on coming.”
Yet, just weeks later, Chisora has told Seconds Out of his new view on the fight, where he believes the contest to be a 50/50 affair with added intrigue due to the fact that Dubois’ trainer will collides with Anthony Joshua’s former trainer once again.

“It is a 50/50 fight. It is going to be a good fight because remember Ben Davison got beat by Don [Charles] once and now this is going to be a rematch for the trainers. Ben Davison, he has got to get one over Don now.
“Has he got the right horse to get him that victory? Yes. Is Don Charles’ horse going to quit? We don’t know. So it is a 50/50 fight.”
Wardley-Dubois takes place on Saturday, May 9, at the Co-op Live in Manchester, as both men seek to prove themselves as Britain’s top heavyweight and as a potential successor to Usyk.
If you’re a Minnesota Vikings mock draft savant — you probably are if you’re reading stuff from this website — you probably know the name Dillon Thieneman by now, a safety from the University of Oregon. He’s popping up all over the place for the Vikings in mock drafts, even drawing ESPN’s Mel Kiper’s attention this week.
Minnesota’s safety need keeps pointing back to Thieneman.
While the team has a large draft mystery this time around, mainly because Kwesi Adofo-Mensah was fired at the end of January, Thieneman is rapidly becoming Minnesota’s draft favorite, at least according to pundits and fans.

Kiper: Thieneman to MIN at No. 18
The Vikings have a need at safety, especially if Smith retires, and Thieneman would emphatically fill that with his rookie profile.
That’s why Kiper mock-drafted him to Minnesota on Tuesday and wrote, “We still don’t know whether 37-year-old Harrison Smith will keep playing (and if so, whether he’ll return to Minnesota as a free agent). Joshua Metellus, Jay Ward and Theo Jackson are the top safeties on the Vikings’ depth chart. In a division with Caleb Williams, Jordan Love and Jared Goff, this has to be a priority at the draft regardless of whether Smith is back for Year 15.”

“I had Thieneman to the Vikings in my last mock draft. He reminds me a lot of Smith in the way he reads the QB and reacts in a flash. I could see defensive coordinator Brian Flores getting creative with Thieneman, lining him up all over the formation and letting him use his great ball skills to pile up takeaways.”
Since the NFL Combine three weeks ago, Thieneman to the Vikings has taken on a life of its own.
The Combine Breakout
In Indianapolis, Thieneman took the Combine by storm, banking 4.35 forty and jumping a 41-inch vertical. He also showed incredible — somewhat unexpected? — backpedal motion and fluidity. The event alone shoved him into Round 1 of mock drafts after previously living near the top-middle of Round 2.

Thieneman also has the size at 6’0″ and 200 pounds. His versatility is noteworthy, as he can play single-high coverage and play at the line of scrimmage when needed.
If Thieneman flies off the board in Round 1 to the Vikings or another team, he can thank his Combine showing.
Thieneman’s Scouting Report
Thieneman played two seasons at Purdue — Minnesotans know him because of the Big Ten connection — before transferring to Oregon in 2025. He’s played 39 games collegiately and banked 306 tackles, 8 interceptions, and 10 tackles for loss. His coverage skills are phenomenal for a rookie safety, and the elite speed will make defensive coordinators salivate. Thieneman shows hesitation at times, but that’s not unusual for a rookie defender.

The Draft Buzzon Thieneman: “Thieneman is the kind of safety who walks into a defensive meeting room on Day One and immediately earns his keep. The coverage grades speak loudly, but what separates him is the totality of the package.”
“This is a player who can align in a two-high shell pre-snap, rotate down to a robber look post-snap, and then fill an alley against the run with real physicality, all within the same drive. The modern NFL is demanding exactly this type of defensive back, and Thieneman’s college production in multiple schemes and alignments suggests his transition should be smoother than most.”

If Minnesota brings Kiper’s mock to life, Thieneman would almost certainly grab Theo Jackson or Jay Ward’s job immediately, assuming Smith returns for one more year.
TBD added, “His best fit is in a defense that values pre-snap disguise and post-snap versatility in the secondary. Defensive coordinators who run multiple coverage structures and ask their safeties to communicate and adjust on the fly will love what Thieneman brings to the table.”
“His coverage instincts and diagnostic ability make him a natural fit in split-safety looks, but his tackling and run support are good enough that he won’t be a liability when asked to come down into the box.”

The Other Round 1 Draft Possibilities
Of course, the Vikings aren’t guaranteed to pick Thieneman if he’s there at No. 18. Interim general manager Rob Brzezinski and Minnesota’s coaching staff may have a different take early in the draft. In all likelihood, if Minnesota does not trade down, the Vikings’ pick in Round 1 will be one of these men:
C.J. Allen (LB) — Georgia
Caleb Banks (DT) — Florida
Mansoor Delane (CB) — LSU
Keldric Faulk (EDGE) — Auburn
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren — Toledo
Makai Lemon (WR) — USC
Akheem Mesidor (EDGE) — Miami (FL)
Jermod McCoy (CB) — Tennessee
Kayden McDonald (DT) — Ohio State
Kenyon Sadiq (TE) — Oregon
Dillon Thieneman (S) — Oregon
Avieon Terrell (CB) — Clemson
Jordyn Tyson (WR) — Arizona State
Peter Woods (DT) — Clemson
Outside linebacker isn’t a pressing roster need, but it could move up the list if Minnesota trades Jonathan Greenard, who lives hot and heavy in the rumor mill.

On Thieneman, the best stylistic comparison currently in the pros may be Atlanta Falcons safety Jesse Bates III, a three-time All-Pro.

UEFA Champions League R16: 5 best players
#5 Luis Diaz (Bayern Munich)
Colombia winger Luis Diaz started both of Bayern Munich’s last-16 games against Atalanta, playing a vital role in the Bavarians’ 10-2 win on aggregate. The 29-year-old provided an assist in the 6-1 win at Atalanta before registering one goal and an assist in the 4-1 victory at Allianz Arena. He completed an impressive nine dribbles and also created five chances across two legs.

#4 Julian Alvarez (Atletico Madrid)
Argentina striker Julian Alvarez led from the front for Atletico Madrid in his side’s 7-5 aggregate win against Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League round of 16. He scored twice on either side of the break and laid out an assist in the 5-2 first leg win, while he contributed a goal and an assist in the 3-2 second leg loss to help his club seal a quarter-final tie against Barcelona.
#3 Raphinha (Barcelona)

Brazil forward Raphinha shouldered most of the responsibility of guiding Barcelona to the quarter-finals after his club were held to a 1-1 draw at Newcastle United. He failed to register a goal involvement in the first leg, but recorded two goals and two assists in the 7-2 second leg triumph at Camp Nou. He also created nine chances, including four big chances, in two last-16 games.
#2 Federico Valverde (Real Madrid)
Uruguay midfielder Federico Valverde produced a captain’s display in his side’s 3-0 Champions League round of 16 first leg win against Manchester City. He scored three goals in the first half at Estadio Bernabeu before his tireless performance in the 2-1 second leg triumph at Etihad Stadium. He created three chances and won 15 of his 28 overall duels across two contests.
#1 Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Paris Saint-Germain)

Georgia winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia turned heads with his excellent goalscoring performances in Paris Saint-Germain’s (PSG) 8-2 aggregate win over Chelsea. He scored a brace and provided an assist in his second half cameo in the 5-2 first leg. He then netted the opener in PSG’s 3-0 second leg victory at Stamford Bridge after starting the match on the left-side of the pitch.
Ronnie O’Sullivan produced a superb display to beat Shaun Murphy 5-3 and reach the quarter-finals of the World Open in Yushan.
After O’Sullivan’s 96 break in the first frame, Murphy hit back with a 139 in the second before edging ahead.
But seven-time world champion O’Sullivan responded with runs of 77 and 121 to retake the lead.
Although Murphy drew level again, O’Sullivan produced further breaks of 89 and 76 to see off his fellow Englishman and advance to his 150th ranking quarter-final.

The 50-year-old will face Wales’ Ryan Day, who defeated Latvia’s Artemijs Zizins 5-4 in the last eight on Friday.
Northern Ireland’s Mark Allen is also through to the quarter-finals, recording a 5-0 win over Zhou Yuelong of China.
He will face Wu Yize, also of China, for a place in the semi-finals after the 22-year-old came through 5-2 against 2024 world champion Kyren Wilson.
His displays attracted praise from Ireland head coach Andy Farrell and earned him the Six Nations ‘Rising Player’ award.
Farrell will hope Baloucoune recovers in time for the start of Ireland’s Nations Championship campaign, with fixtures against Australia, Japan and New Zealand in July.
Baloucoune’s injury is another blow for Ulster boss Richie Murphy, who is without several players for Friday’s URC game against Connacht.
Earlier this week, the province confirmed Cormac Izuchukwu, James Hume and Dave Shanahan will miss the inter-provincial fixture after sustaining concussions in last week’s win over Edinburgh.
