The have had a bit of a wild offseason -- and not in a good way. Over the past couple of months, former Lions players have come out against coach Matt Patricia, deeming him impo sible to work with.Recently, the Lions sent star cornerback to the after he begged for a change of scenery, and he . While he expre sed plenty of appreciation for Lions fans and other staff, Slay made it clear that he and Patricia did not see eye to eye. He Sam Darnold Jersey said that he didn't respect Patricia as a person and was upset that he traded away his teammate and friend last season. According to Slay, Patricia also belittled his cornerback and Corn Elder Jersey said that he wasn't fit to work out with some of the other elite defensive backs in the NFL.Earlier this month, former Lions safety piled on and for his attitude, persona and his arrogance. Former defensive lineman also came out and said he was .Despite all of these recent reports, general manager Bob Quinn is comfortable with Patricia as his head coach and with the culture they have established in Detroit. He even went further than that, and said that the roster is completely behind their head coach."I'd say no," Quinn said about whether the locker room is an i sue, . "I haven't talked about it a ton, but you can go ask anybody in the locker room right now what they Carolina Panthers Jersey think of coach and how he runs the team, and they're 100 percent behind him."You can't make everybody happy in this busine s in terms of how you do certain things, but I can just say from the guys that we've signed in free agency, the guys that wanted to be here -- a number of guys in our free agent cla s reached out to us. We obviously liked them as players, but in the weeks leading up to free agency, those guys had their agent call me and say, 'Hey, my guy wants to be there and play for Coach.'"So, you just have conversations with guys like , who we traded for. Austin Corbett Jersey I mean, I've never seen a player more excited to be traded -- and we've done a lot of trades since I've been here -- than Duron Harmon. I mean, he was like literally jumping out of my FaceTime wanting to come out here immediately. I have no concerns with that at all."Patricia is 9-22-1 as the head coach of the Lions, a franchise that has now gone without a postseason win since the 1991 season. While Patricia's first couple of years in Detroit have been tough and this offseason has surely been one to forget, Quinn and apparently the players are confident in moving forward with Juston Burris Jersey coach Patricia.

Chelsea welcome Bayern Munich to Stamford Bridge for the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 clash on Tuesday night.The Blues ended a four-match winle s run in the Premier League with a 2-1 triumph over Tottenham Hotspur last weekend and that has helped them maintain the on the Premier League table.Meawhile, the visitors Jason Kidd Jersey have been in splendid form in the Bundesliga and they have dropped just two points from the previous nine games. Still, they are just one point ahead of RB Leipzig at the top of the standings.Previous Champions League meeting:Their last Champions League meeting came during the 2012 final where the Blues won on penalties. Bayern dominated the final in their home turf and took the lead in the 83rd minute through Thomas Muller.However, the Premier League outfit levelled the proceedings five minutes later. Didier Drogba scored with a splendid header from what was the clubs only corner of the entire game.Ultimately, the game went to penalties after added extra-time and Drogba was once again the man of the moment as he converted the match-winning spot-kick to hand the Blues with their maiden Champions League title.Bayern did manage to win the next edition Derrick Coleman Jersey of the competition. They got their lukewarm revenge on the Blues in the 2013 European Super Cup where they won on penalties after the scores were level at 2-2 after 120 minutes.Players to watch out for:Olivier Giroud Chelsea: Chelsea will need to avoid conceding a costly away goal to the Bavarian giants and Frank Lampard may once again go with three central defenders. Still, the manager will want to take at least a goal advantage to the Allianz Arena and Giroud may have a key role to play. The Frenchman is one of the best in the Jordan Bowden Jersey busine s when it comes to holding up the ball for his teammates but he will need to show more intent by testing Bayerns defenders in the box with his physical presence. Giroud has impre sed against Bayern in the past while playing for Arsenal. He has bagged from the previous seven meetings against them.Serge Gnabry Bayern Munich: While most of the focus will be on Robert Lewandowski, Gnabry remains an equally potent threat to the Blues goal from the right side of the attack. Should the Blues go with a back three, Marcos Alonso is the likely candidate to start at left wing-back and that could present the German with an advantage. Alonso showed his Andre Roberson Jersey offensive quality at the weekend with a tremendous low shot from outside the box to find the net against Spurs but defensively, there are still question marks, given he often finds himself higher up the field when he is dispo se sed. Gnabry, who has bagged this term, should definitely pose Alonso with a stiffer challenge than in Keven Durant Jersey the recent derby.Prediction:The game could be open-sided, considering Lampard has rarely opted for a defensive formation at home. That should see goals from either side but we are anticipating Bayern to beat the Blues as they have the better options when it comes to the attacking department.Chelsea 1-3 Bayern Munich

The Indianapolis Colts placed center Wesley French on the Reserve/Injured list and signed undrafted free agent Kawhi Leonard Jersey rookie Ryan Coll, Wednesday.French went down with an apparent injury and during Monday's practice. It's unclear what type of injury French is dealing with Luke Kennard Jersey , but it was serious enough to be placed on the Reserve/Injured list.French is in his third season after signing with the Colts as an undrafted free agent following the 2022 NFL Draft out of Western Michigan. He appeared in all 17 games while making three starts in 2023.French will mi s the remainder of the season as the injury requires surgery, .In the past, players being placed on the Reserve/Injured list before the 53-man rosters were finalized Joakim Noah Jersey Danny Manning Jersey meant their season was over immediately.

One pundit on MUTV was reported as saying Burnleys victory over Manchester United on Tuesday was nothing but a total fluke. I hope hes hungry, because on this showing, there will be a lot of humble Bob Lanier Jersey pie on his plate come the end of the season. Yes, Everton were poor, once again, but you can only beat whats infront of you.Despite their fantastic start to the season, Owen Coyle will not be getting carried away, ala Phil Brown and Hull even if the Turfmoor faithful are quietly ambitious in their seasons hopes. For David Moyes, whilst this was nowhere near as painful an experience as their opening-day humiliation, it still exposed gaping holes in in their current squad. You can only hope that Everton will benefit from the sale of Joleon Lescott, both in terms of money and squad harmony.The tone for Evertons day was set within the first minute. Lethargic ball-watching almost cost Moyes dearly, as Chris McCann weaved past Leighton Baines before putting in a hanging cro s, but Martin Patersons header crashed into the cro sbar. Steven Fletcher was first to the rebound, and his goalbound effort drew a low save from Tim Howard. The Claret fans roared, whilst Everton seemed nervous, tense almost. Once again the delinquent McCann waltzed through and in turn found Paterson, but the nippy striker mi sed the target. David Moyes appeared Ray Allen Jersey to be as uncomfortable as Dean Winda s in lycra, and rightly so.It took thirty minutes for Evertons first meaningful shot on goal, but Brian Jensen was perfectly positioned to save Jack Rodwells weak header. Tony Hibberts low cro s just evaded Louis Saha at the near post, whilst Rodwell was off target once more. Everton looked to be settling in, and it was Coyle who was getting agitated.Cue the curse of the commentator. A dangerous cro s by Robbie Blake fizzed acro s the face of the goal, but Steven Fletcher managed to Junior Bridgeman Jersey keep the ball in play before teeing up Wade Ellliot, who exquisitely curled the ball into the top corner, albeit via a deflection off Phil Nevilles boot. Only those who were witne sing can describe the aptitude ringing around Turfmoor, electric.Wade Elliott celebrates his first goal of the Matthew Dellavedova Jersey seasonAfter the break, with Moyes words of wisdom still echoing throughout their minds, Evertons attacking intent was clear to see. But intent is no good unle s chances are created, and Burnleys rugged style easily nullified any thoughts of an Everton equaliser. The quick-thinking McCann saw his attempted lob tipped clear by Howard, before Blake nearly emulated his goal in midweek with a sizzling volley that dragged wide.And it looked like Burnleys chances would come back to bite them on the derrierre when referee Phil Dowd awarded them a disputed penalty with just fifteen minutes left. When Tony Hibbert blazed through the Burnley defence, McCann pulled out of a tackle, perhaps in fear of fouling Hibbert, but when Hibbert fell over his own foot tumbled over, Dowd was convinced there was contact, thus awarding Everton a penalty. Normally, whenever Jensen makes a save, the crowd roar his nickname, Beast. However, when Louis Saha stepped up confidently, there was no need for chanting, as the Frenchman pulled his shot wide of the post.Saha almost made amends for his mi s with a rasping thirty-yarder, but Jensen watched the ball sail wide in relief. Everton bo s Moyes said, Burnley were the better side in the opening 25 minutes. I think, with the confidence they gained from the game in midweek, we expected that. But after that I thought we got back into it and were a Jordan Nwora Jersey bit unfortunate not to get something out of it.

As the continue into the heart of the offseason workout program, there are Ecuador Jersey still chances to add more talent to the roster.Sitting with a coming out of the draft, the Colts certainly have the resources to make a final significant move before summer break hits.A suggestion coming from , he believes the Colts should look toward adding Sevilla Jersey some backfield depth.Jonathan Taylor signed a multi-year contract extension with the Colts last season, keeping him in Indianapolis through the end of the 2026 season. Beyond him, the Colts have just 92 NFL carries on their roster, with 78 of those coming from Trey Sermon.An expanded role for Evan Hull, whom Indianapolis drafted in the fifth round in 2023, seems Europe 2024 Jersey likely, but another veteran addition wouldnt be a surprise.The Colts seem behind Taylor, who is looking to play his first fully healthy season since 2021.The combination of Trey Sermon, Tyler Goodson and Evan Hull Finland Jersey isn't going to strike fear in the hearts of many opponents. Adding a viable change-of-pace back might not be a bad idea. Even so, the Colts have a strong enough run game to where adding another veteran back likely isn't a top priority.Instead, it wouldn't be a bad idea to add more depth to the secondary. But the Colts seem pretty content there as well despite the question marks.For, check out Argentina Jersey Kevin Hickey's work on.

When decided to sign with the in free agency, that bumped veteran kicker to being the longest-tenured player on the . That title was held briefly, however, after the club released the 36-year-old in late March. That put an end to Gostkowski's 14-season run with New England after the franchise selected him in the 2006 draft.He was placed on injured reserve following Week 4 of the 2019 campaign and underwent season- Kevin Feder Jersey ending hip surgery not too long after. That injury is now in the rearview mirror for Gostokowski, who is currently looking at a Jaden Slocum Jersey rather uncertain future in the NFL. What is certain, however, is the fact that he wants to continue playing in the league somewhere and believes he still has a lot to offer a franchise."I'm not ready to just hang it up," he told . "I'm gonna try to play. It's going to be tough to show teams what I can do right now or work out or do a physical, but I'm not too worried about it. I'm not concerned. I kind of take things day by day."As it relates to his health, Gostkowski says he is feeling good and, partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he is actually ahead of where he'd normally be in his offseason preparations because there's not many other ways to spend his time. Brock Prengler Jersey The fact the he cannot visit with teams and take a physical, however, has been a drawback."I feel good," he continued. "I'm starting to feel better. I'm trying to keep getting in better and better shape and I've probably done Malik Bradshaw Jersey more so far this year as I would heading into a normal season so I feel like I'm ahead of where I usually am and I have nothing but time."For his career, Gostkowski has been succe sful on 87.4% of his field goal attempts and 98.3% of his extra point attempts. Prior to going down with the hip injury in 2019, the three-time Super Bowl champion did struggle, particularly on extra points. While he converted on 87.5% of his field goals Elijah Benoit Jersey , his extra point conversion rate dropped to 73.3%, which was a career-low. That could be attributed to the hip injury. Now that it is all healed up, he should be back to his normal self for whichever teams signs him.
