Tanzania Eyes Drogba as Ambassador for 2027 AFCON
The Tanzanian government is considering appointing former Ivory Coast captain Didier Drogba as an ambassador for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations as preparations continue for the continental tournament.
The plan is reportedly being championed by Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan, who wants to use Drogba’s global football influence to promote the competition and attract more international attention ahead of the tournament.
Drogba recently visited Tanzania at the invitation of the country’s sports authorities, where discussions were held on ways to improve the image, promotion and commercial value of the 2027 AFCON.
Tanzania will host the competition alongside Kenya and Uganda in what will be a historic joint hosting of Africa’s biggest football event in the East African region.
The possible appointment of Drogba is viewed as an important part of the host nations’ strategy to raise the profile of the tournament both within Africa and internationally.
Drogba remains one of Africa’s most celebrated football figures. During his playing career, the former striker became a legend at Chelsea FC, where he won several major trophies, including four Premier League titles and the UEFA Champions League in 2012.
The former forward was widely praised for his leadership, strength and goalscoring ability during his time in England. He scored more than 160 goals for Chelsea and established himself as one of the club’s greatest players.
At international level, Drogba captained Ivory Coast national football team and played a major role in helping the Elephants qualify for several FIFA World Cups and Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.
Beyond football, Drogba has also earned respect for his humanitarian work and efforts to promote peace in Ivory Coast during periods of political tension in the country.
Officials believe his popularity, leadership experience and strong connection with African football could help bring more global attention to the 2027 AFCON.
The 2027 tournament is expected to be one of the biggest editions of the competition, with East Africa preparing to welcome teams and supporters from across the continent and beyond.

Dolphins Listed as Landing Spot for Unsigned Vikings CB
The Minnesota Vikings wrapped up the busy portion of free agency in mid-March, and among the transactions, the club did not re-sign veteran cornerback Fabian Moreau. Fast forward to May, and Moreau may be an ideal fit for the Miami Dolphins, according to Pro Football Network.
Minnesota could still revisit Moreau, but Miami’s cornerback depth is scary.
Moreau will likely sign somewhere before too long, and with training camp less than three months away, PFSN asked, “Why not Miami?”
Miami’s Secondary Need Creates Logical Fit for Moreau
The Dolphins have struggled at the CB spot for a couple of years.
PFSN’s Take on Moreau to MIA
After the draft, NFL-themed media usually revisit the “who could still go where” of free agency, and 2026 is no different.
PFSN’s Jacob Infante wrote about Moreau to the Dolphins this week: “Fabian Moreau has bounced around to five different teams in his last six seasons, though he’s coming off two consecutive seasons as a backup cornerback for the Vikings.”
“He fared pretty well in 2025, ranking No. 33 in the NFL with a 79.5 PFSN CB Impact Score, indicating he could push for a starting spot in some situations. 2026 Predicted Team: Miami Dolphins.”
To date, Moreau has had no known free-agency nibbles.
Moreau’s Quietly Good 2025 Campaign
Moreau emerged as one of the Vikings’ unexpectedly crucial players in 2025.
Heading into the 2025 season, the cornerback room appeared precarious beyond Byron Murphy Jr. Isaiah Rodgers offered potential, Jeff Okudah was a reclamation project, and both Dwight McGlothern and rookie Zemaiah Vaughn remained largely unproven. This thin depth threatened to become a significant problem if injuries struck.
And one injury did strike. When Okudah suffered a concussion early in the season, Minnesota turned to Moreau over McGlothern. The decision worked. Moreau played consistently whenever called upon, earning a 70.9 Pro Football Focus grade and allowing a mere 47.4 passer rating on 19 targets.
The Vikings didn’t need a star; they simply required a reliable, experienced, and steady presence in a position prone to volatility. Moreau delivered precisely that.
This performance holds significant implications for 2026. Though Moreau is 32, veteran corners who can competently cover on the outside and avoid major coverage errors still offer considerable value. Any team seeking a CB3 or CB4 could do far worse than a player who quietly excelled in his role last season.
Ultimately, Moreau’s steady play made a solid contribution, helping stabilize Minnesota’s skimpy cornerback situation in 2025.
The Dolphins’ CBs
As of May 6th, these are the Dolphins’ current cornerbacks:
- Chris Johnson
- JuJu Brents
- Jason Marshall Jr.
- Darrell Baker Jr.
- Storm Duck
- Ethan Robinson
- Marco Wilson
- Alex Austin
- Ethan Bonner
- A.J. Green III
Unless Johnson, a 1st-Rounder a couple of weeks ago, turns into an immediate All-Pro, Miami will showcase one of the worst CB rooms in the NFL. In that vein, it’s no wonder that the Dolphins are connected to free-agent CBs in May. Moreau would likely profile as the CB3 or CB4 with this setup.
Phin Phanatic‘s Brian Miller noted on the Dolphins’ secondary this week, “The Dolphins must find a way to add more defenders to their secondary before the season. Jon-Eric Sullivan managed to draft 13 players over the last weekend of April, but those 13 picks couldn’t fix the Miami Dolphins’ secondary entirely. First-round pick Chris Johnson will help usher in a new era on the boundary.”
“His physical style of play will be what the Dolphins want to become at every position in the secondary. The Dolphins still have a problem on the other side of the field. It’s not just cornerback that remains an issue. Safety doesn’t look all that good either. At cornerback, the problems are on the boundary with a rookie and two guys that have yet to prove they can handle the work consistently, but the depth behind them is not deep; that too is a problem.”
A Vikings Reunion?
Of course, if Moreau receives no free-agent attention in the next few months, he could re-sign with the Vikings and have a firm spot on the practice squad at the very least.
The Vikings have Byron Murphy Jr., Isaiah Rodgers, James Pierre, rookie Charles Demmings, and Dwight McGlothern ready to patrol the back end of Brian Flores’s defense this season, but Moreau as an insurance policy would not hurt.
To be fair, Moreau deserves a CB4 job, at minimum, right now, so a team like the Dolphins — that really needs CB oomph — probably makes the most sense.
Moreau will turn 33 next offseason.

Takeaways: Dostal wins goalie battle as Ducks even series vs. Golden Knights
The garbage-time power-play goal didn’t keep the Anaheim Ducks from claiming a series-tying victory on the road, their 3-1 win evening the second-round bout 1-1, but it did keep the club from breaking a streak that dates back to Day 1 of the 2024-25 campaign:
But wins are what matter, and Dostal certainly earned this one. A goalie battle from the start, he and Vegas netminder Carter Hart took turns stumping opposing forwards in what was a strong showing from both sides. Hart shone early, stopping all 13 of Anaheim’s first-period shots, and was the busier goalie Wednesday night — he faced 27 shots, and stopped 25. The Golden Knights’ offence was slow to warm up, which meant Dostal was, too — he faced just three shots in the first frame. His night got busier as the game went on, stopping all 11 pucks fired his way in the second and seven of eight in the third. He was perfect at even-strength.
Dostal’s Game 2 performance feels like a win within the win for Anaheim. The 25-year-old had a shaky start to his first career post-season stint — he allowed four goals in each of his first three games of Round 1 against Edmonton, his series save percentage coming in at .874. He bounced back from a dismal Game 5 showing to put away the Oilers with a 25-save performance in Game 6, and has been excellent since. He registered a .905 save percentage on 21 shots in Game 1 against Vegas, and on Wednesday night raised the bar to .955 to win the showdown against Hart. He’s allowed just three goals through two games, and while he didn’t quite achieve perfection, Wednesday’s showing seems like a sign of more great showdowns to come.
Ducks’ power play falls short again versus Vegas’s stifling PK
Through two games of this second-round series so far, Vegas has made Anaheim’s elite power play look lifeless. That’s a huge storyline early in this series, considering just how heavily the Ducks relied on their PP production against Edmonton — and just how steep a drop the unit has experienced since.
After going zero-for-four in Game 1 Monday night, Anaheim had ample opportunity to turn things around in the first period of Wednesday’s contest, which saw Vegas collect eight penalty minutes (including a four-minute, high-sticking double-minor charged to Eichel) in the first five minutes of the opening frame.
Even with more than 90 seconds of five-on-three play, the Ducks couldn’t capitalize. Much like we saw from Utah in Round 1, the Ducks spent nearly every second with the man advantage patrolling the perimeter in search of the perfect shot. They couldn’t find it.
Anaheim closed out Wednesday’s win without a PP goal, going zero-for-five on the night to bring their total to none-for-nine on the series so far. But their fifth opportunity did show some signs of life — Anaheim clearly got the memo to get pucks on net, and looked a lot more like the squad we saw last series. Something to build on, perhaps.
Youth and depth step up for Ducks
Two nights after falling to Vegas in Game 1, the Ducks got off to a blazing start in Game 2, with Troy Terry launching the club into a scoring chance just six seconds into the matchup in an attempt to catch Hart on his heels. Hart’s early heroics kept Vegas in the game despite the Ducks’ barrage of shots, but Anaheim was clearly intent on setting the tone in this one.
It worked. Anaheim managed to harness its own speed-forward game while also matching Vegas’s hard-hitting, physical approach. Ducks head coach Joel Quenneville rolled out his big lines early and often, resulting in a pretty sizeable gap between his most- and least-used forwards, but that didn’t stop Beckett Sennecke (11:03 minutes of ice time) and Jansen Harkins (9:44) from making big impacts. Sennecke was the first to light the lamp Wednesday night, when he took advantage of Vegas’s defensive misplay that saw him in all alone after Jeffrey Viel served him up the puck from behind the net. Harkins scored an empty-net insurance goal late in the third in his 2026 playoff debut.
Those goals sandwiched Leo Carlsson’s third-period marker that gave Anaheim some breathing room early in the third.
Are Vegas’s stars going quiet again?
It was a storyline in Round 1 against Utah, and while this second-round series is still very young, it’s hard not to wonder if it’s happening again… Because through two games, we have yet to see much of an offensive impact from some of Vegas’s biggest names. Pavel Dorofeyev has just two shots to his name through two games so far. He and Eichel have two assists between them. Mitch Marner sealed Monday’s series-opening win with an empty-netter, but was held without a point Wednesday on just two shots. If not for Eichel and Stone collaborating on Vegas’ power-play marker at the end of regulation, the Golden Knights would’ve been shut out entirely in this one.
Depth has been a major asset for the experienced club, but they need their stars to step up if they’re to match the firepower of Anaheim. Might that garbage-time goal have woken them up?

MANILA, Philippines — Alex Eala takes on Chinese rising star Wang Xinyu in the Italian Open round of 64 on Friday (Philippine time).
Eala hopes to sustain her momentum after beating Magdalena Frech of Poland in the first round, 6-0, 3-6, 6-4. Wang, meanwhile, got a first-round bye.
The Chinese player is currently World No.33 and reached a WTA career-high ranking of No.3 in February.
Wang reached the fourth round of this year’s Australian Open.
Eala fell to the 24-year-old Wang in their first duel in the ASB Classic semifinal last January, 7-5, 5-7, 4-6.
Currently ranked World No.42, Eala is looking to reach beyond the round of 64, following last month’s exit at the Madrid Open.
The 20-year-old Rafa Nadal Academy graduate already surpassed her round of 128 exit in last year’s Italian Open where she lost to Marta Kostyuk, 0-6, 1-6.

Lukas Dostal, Ducks shut down Knights, head home with series 1-1
May 6, 2026; Las Vegas, Nevada, USA; Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Carter Hart (79) makes a save as Anaheim Ducks center Ryan Poehling (25) looks for a rebound behind defenseman Noah Hanifin (15) during the second period of game two of the second round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs at T-Mobile Arena. Mandatory Credit: Stephen R. Sylvanie-Imagn Images Lukas Dostal made 22 saves while leading the Anaheim Ducks to a 3-1 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday in Las Vegas, evening their best-of-seven Western Conference second-round playoff series at one win each.
Beckett Sennecke, Leo Carlsson and Jansen Harkins scored for the Ducks.
The series now shifts to Anaheim for Game 3 on Friday and Game 4 on Sunday.
Mark Stone scored a late power-play goal and Carter Hart finished with 25 saves for Vegas, which lost in regulation at home to the Ducks for only the fourth time (16-4-1) in franchise history.
Vegas killed off eight minutes of penalties in the first half of a scoreless opening period, including 1:37 of a 5-on-3 after Jack Eichel picked up a four-minute double minor for high-sticking Mikael Granlund.
The Ducks, who scored on eight of their 16 power-plays chances while defeating the Edmonton Oilers in six games in their first round matchup, have yet to score with the extra man in the series against the Golden Knights. Anaheim is now 0-for-9 on the power play.
Anaheim took a 1-0 lead midway through the second period on Sennecke’s second goal of the playoffs. Jeffrey Viel picked up the primary assist, stealing the puck from Vegas defenseman Kaedan Korczak along the boards behind the net and then passing to Sennecke in the low slot. The Calder Trophy finalist for rookie of the year, who scored 23 goals in the regular-season, then chipped a shot past Hart’s glove side.
The Ducks extended the lead to 2-0 at the 6:36 mark of the third period on Carlsson’s fourth goal of the playoffs. Troy Terry set up the score with a crossing pass from the left circle to Carlsson alone on the backdoor by the right post. Carlsson then roofed a wrist shot past Hart’s glove side. Vegas pulled Hart with four minutes remaining for an extra attacker and Harkins sealed the win with an empty-netter thirty seconds later, his first goal since New Year’s Eve against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Golden Knights spoiled Dostal’s shutout bid with just 5.6 seconds on to go when Stone redirected a Eichel shot from along the right boards for his third goal of the playoffs.

Randy Moss Has Some Thoughts on Kyler Murray
Hall of Famer Randy Moss stays up to speed on all things Minnesota Vikings, the team that drafted him in 1998, and he recently revealed his freshest takes on the club’s new quarterback, Kyler Murray. In short, Moss thinks Murray will cook in Minnesota, especially with Justin Jefferson at his side.
Training camp is still ahead, but optimism around Murray keeps building inside Vikings orbit.
The regular season is four months away, so it’s not long before Murray will start to deliver a verdict.
Moss Sees Murray as Minnesota’s Missing Piece
Do you agree with Moss that Murray will be unlocked in the Twin Cities?
Moss on Murray
Speaking to Bleacher Report, Moss opined, “I’ve always rooted for Minnesota. When you look at the success of the team, either good or bad, it has been because of the quarterback play. You had Sam Darnold, you had Daniel Jones. But you go with the youngster McCarthy, and he was not able to provide that answer, so you had to go out and get a guy like Kyler Murray.”
“What I’m excited about is the opportunity in front of Kyler Murray. He’s got a great wide receiver in Justin Jefferson, who now can try to regain his dominance as the No. 1 wide receiver in all of football. Kyler Murray also has something to prove.”
When Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell has his starting quarterback — Kirk Cousins in 2022 or Sam Darnold in 2024 — his team has won at least 13 games in a season. If injuries emerge and quarterback instability ensues, Minnesota morphs into a middling-to-decent squad.
Moss added on Murray, “He was the future of the Arizona Cardinals, but they basically threw him away. If he’s able to deliver the ball to Justin Jefferson, everything else with the defense and every other weapon will be fine.”
“But all eyes will be on whether he can do that so they both can regain their dominance.”
How Murray Got Here
The Arizona Cardinals drafted Murray in 2019 with the first overall pick, replacing quarterback Josh Rosen, who had been selected in Round 1 the previous year. Murray would later stabilize the Cardinals’ QB1 spot for seven years while the franchise posted no playoff wins.
Fast forward to the 2026 offseason, and the Cardinals fired head coach Jonathan Gannon, hiring Mike LaFleur as his replacement. The Cardinals’ brass decided it was time for a fresh start at quarterback, and with Arizona possessing virtually no trade leverage over Murray, they released him in March.
Then, it became a no-brainer that Murray would sign in Minnesota — the Vikings needed a quarterback to compete with J.J. McCarthy, and Murray was a Vikings fan as a kid.
In the end, Arizona will pay Murray to play for the Vikings, as Minnesota signed him to a deal worth $1.3 million for one year.
A Subtle Reversal from Moss?
Moss’s endorsement of Murray is a slight reversal of his previous comments about the Vikings’ offense. Ex-NFLer Alex Smith picked Moss’s brain on ESPN airwaves in December, asking him if wide receiver Justin Jefferson should stick around for the long haul if McCarthy’s development took longer than expected, and Moss said to Smith, “I wouldn’t. I would not.”
Fans would’ve expected Moss to tell Jefferson to have patience, but he point-blank said he’d find a way out if the decision were up to him. Five months later, Moss is hyped about Murray and the upcoming chemistry with Jefferson.
In Moss’s defense, he had no way of knowing at the time that the Vikings landing Murray for the NFL’s version of free would be in play during the offseason.
McCarthy as a Fallback
If, for some reason, Murray does not take off inside O’Connell’s offense or if he gets hurt — Murray has missed 26% of all career starts due to various injuries — McCarthy will be ready. He’s used the 2026 offseason to hone his mechanics, eat humble pie with Murray’s arrival, and follow a natural maturation pattern.
It’s an underrated 2026 storyline for Minnesota: Will McCarthy be ready to seize the moment when Murray exits the lineup (for whatever reason), or will he still feature his erratic play, intermixed with a bizarre tendency to get injured?
The Vikings’ best-case scenario might be for McCarthy to develop as planned. That is — when O’Connell calls upon him in 2026, he steps into the huddle and looks the part of an accurate and productive signal-caller.
Until then, Moss has big plans for Murray to explode in the Twin Cities. He thinks the Vikings are on to something.

Mike Tyson speaks out on status of Floyd Mayweather fight
Questions remain over whether the Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather exhibition will indeed still go ahead.
It was announced late last year that Tyson and Mayweather were set to take part in an exhibition contest in early 2026, bringing together two of boxing’s biggest names together.
Since that initial announcement, a lot of twists and turns have led to confusion over whether the bout will actually take place, with a planned April date already coming and going.
Mayweather revealed he was set for two other fights this year, first a June exhibition with kickboxer Mike Zambidis, before a planned professional rematcg with former foe Manny Pacquiao, and while there are also doubts over those match-ups, it adds to the issue on if there is time for a Tyson battle.
However, Tyson has now refused to rule out the bout being completely off, telling Casino.org that even though there are certain things he can not discuss, he still finds the possibility of facing Mayweather as an ‘interesting’ one.
“There’s not much I can talk on, but it’s pretty interesting. I’m just happy that I’m in the condition I’m in to be able to do this to the degree that I can.”
Fans may take the vague update as a signal that behind the scenes the bout may not be going ahead, particularly given the simultaneous drama with the Pacquiao event, which Mayweather has cast doubt on by saying it is an exhibition rather than a pro bout – something the Filipino’s team have denied.
Tyson announced earlier this year that he had suffered a hand injury during training that may have played a part in the delay to a Mayweather fight, but with that now seemingly behind him, he also confirmed his interest in competing against others.
“I don’t know when [I’ll stop fighting]. I only think of it when somebody brings me a check. I can think of a lot of people (I want to fight).”
Tyson last fought in November 2024 in a controversial contest with Jake Paul. ‘The Problem Child’ claimed a comfortable points win, but ‘Iron Mike’ looked a shadow of his former ruthless self, so many fans would perhaps like to see him retire for good.
