After leading Denver to a 14-3 record and an AFC Championship Game appearance, the Super Bowl-winning coach is locked in long term

Seahawks receive wild Nick Emmanwori $25.2 million contract prediction 2 years early originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl last season, and a player like Nick Emmanrowi, who was drafted by the Seahawks in 2025, won a Super Bowl in his first season in the NFL.It was a great start to Emmanwori's career, as not only did he look promising as a young rookie, finishing runner-up for Defensive Rookie of the Year, but he also played well in the playoffs during his first NFL season.But, ESPN's Bill Barnwell made a wild prediction for the young Seahawks safety that comes two years too early. He's predicting Emmanwori will surpass Derwin James' $25.2 million per-year contract in two years when he's extension eligible.Nick Emmanwori predicted to surpass $25.2M per-year deal"If there's one young safety who really seems likely to budge the market forward, though, it's Emmanwori." Barnwell writes. "... He's still two years away from even being eligible for an extension, but don't be surprised if he is the next safety to break the bank as a cornerstone for the Seahawks."Barnwell believes Emmanwori has a chance to increase the safety contract market in a few years, after the 2027 season, when he's finally extension eligible.MORE:Seahawks Nick Emmanwori can be an All-Pro if he plays better in pass coverageThe Los Angeles Chargers are paying Derwin James $25.2 million per-year on a three-year extension, which means that the Seahawks would need to beat that mark for their young safety to reset the market.Spending so much on a non-premium position like safety would be a very bold decision from the Seahawks, especially since it would coincide with the team spending a fortune on Devon Witherspoon, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and others.While Emmanwori was impressive in his rookie season and could get even better from here on out, it's still a very bold prediction from Barnwell to say the 2025 second-rounder can break the safety market and become the highest-paid player at the position.More NFL news:Stefon Diggs linked to Rams, Chiefs, Commanders after Patriots releaseHarold Fannin Jr. will need to prove his worth in Todd Monkens Browns offenseBengals fans should worry about second-year linebackers in 2026Bears need Luther Burden III and Colston Loveland to step up with DJ Moore tradedESPN analyst says if Cade Klubnik gets on the field for Jets it would mean something went wrong

A brutal night for the Spurs' Victor Wembanyama continued after he returned to his hotel, as he was pelted with boos from Knicks fans and nearly hit by a flying egg.

Swift was one of several celebrities at the Garden for Wednesday's showdown between the Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs and saw an historic game.

Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama appeared to dodge an object thrown at him while he walked towards the teams hotel in New York City, according to videos shared to social media. The videos were posted after the Spurs historic 107-106 loss Wednesday night to the New York Knicks. In the videos, Wembanyama and his teammates walked off the team bus outside the Ritz-Carlton Hotel located on West 28th Street in the NoMad (North of Madison Square) neighborhood of New York City. One video, which faced the players as they walked towards the hotels entrance, appeared to show an object thrown in the direction of Wembanyama and another person walking to the left of him. A second object appeared to hit a pole next to Wembanyama as he walked by. He turned around as security personnel began to surround him and escort the third-year pro inside the hotel.

It is unclear what was thrown in Wembanyamas direction. KSAT has reached out to the Spurs and NYPD for comment on the videos. Dozens detained after Game 4, police sayIn a Thursday statement sent to KSAT, a NYPD spokesperson acknowledged wanting Knicks fans to celebrate wins safely but also condemned crowds who engaged in reckless behavior. Once again, there were large crowds of people who engaged in incredibly reckless and dangerous behavior last night both during and after the game, NYPD said. This demonstrates exactly why the NYPD has increased our presence in and around Madison Square Garden.The department said large crowds of unruly fans gathered during Wednesday nights game in areas north of Madison Square Garden between Fifth and Eighth avenues. Officials believe those crowds grew to as many as 10,000 people. In all, police said 60 people were detained. Nineteen of them were formally arrested while the other 41 were released with criminal court summons, officials said. An NYPD spokesperson said 10 of the departments officers were injured in the aftermath of Game 4. One officer was struck in the head with a glass bottle, NYPD said. The Spurs have yet to comment on the incident.

When OG Anunoby is introduced at Madison Square Garden, it sounds like a 20,000-person singalong.The anticipation builds as the public address announcer begins to reveal the second starter, a 6-foot-7 forward from Indiana. When he finally reaches the player's name, the fans scream it right along with him. O! ... G! ... AN-UN-OBY!!!!Early Thursday morning, fans again chanted Anunoby's name, this time in a bar outside the arena as they celebrated one of the most memorable moments in New York Knicks history.Anunoby's tip-in with 1.2 seconds remaining in Game 4 put the Knicks on the verge of a title and moved him into the discussion for NBA Finals MVP.Anunoby is not the kind of player who usually wins awards, and he might be the least-known of the Knicks' starters. But his teammates understand Anunoby's value far exceeds his reputation.So regardless of what the outside world thinks of him, we know what we have in our locker room, and we have a superstar in that locker room, guard Jalen Brunson said.Anunoby is the only player on the Knicks' postseason roster who has won a ring, but he was injured and didn't play for Toronto in the 2019 NBA Finals. But there's no way New York would have a chance at its first championship since 1973 if he wasn't front and center now.From scoring to stopping, Anunoby might to be asked to do more than any Knicks player. He not only finished with 33 points in Game 4 but also made the biggest defensive play of the game when he chased down De'Aaron Fox to block his shot with 11 seconds left and the Spurs leading 106-105.Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns said that's what he expects from a player who seems to save his best for the biggest moments.Every time I talk to him, I say, I already know what OG Anunoby is going to do in the fourth quarter, and he did exactly what I thought he would do, Towns said. He gave us a chance to win, and thats all you could ask for from the best two-way player in the NBA.The Knicks couldn't believe Anunoby was only voted to the All-Defensive second team, certain there aren't five better defenders in the NBA. It was those defensive skills that made him most attractive when the Knicks acquired him from the Raptors in 2023, giving up two of their most promising players on a developing team in RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley. Anunoby was also known as a reliable 3-point shooter from the corners, and he made one as time expired to give the Raptors a victory over Boston in the 2020 playoffs. He hardly celebrated after the shot went through, just as he was one of the few people inside Madison Square Garden who appeared completely calm after his basket in Game 4.Just, the game wasnt over, Anunoby explained. I looked up to see the time. If it would have been 0:00, I would have been more excited, but it was just 1.2 left. So just knowing, get a stop now, just stay with it, staying present, not getting too happy because the game is not over yet.Anunoby is averaging 23.8 points in the series, shooting 58% from the field and 55.6% from 3-point range. He finished 10 for 15 in Game 4, including 7 for 9 behind the arc.When Anunoby limped off the court with a hamstring injury late in the Knicks' victory over Philadelphia in Game 2 of the second round, there was concern this run could be in jeopardy just as it was picking up steam. When Anunoby was hurt at the same time in the 2024 playoffs, the Knicks blew a 2-0 lead against Indiana and ultimately lost the series in Game 7, when Anunoby gamely tried to return after missing four games but it was clear he could hardly move and was yanked after five minutes.This injury was not as bad. Helped by extended time off when the Knicks swept the 76ers, Anunoby was able to return in time for the start of the Eastern Conference finals.Having him on the floor now and soaring through the air in the final seconds of Game 4 could be what it takes to end a 53-year title drought.OG, hes been amazing since hes got here, fellow forward Josh Hart said. This whole playoff run, hes been amazing on both ends of the ball. Hes a winning player and he made a winning play.___This story has been corrected to show that Anunoby returned from injury at the start of the Eastern Conference finals, not semifinals.___AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/nba

Gary Neville prompted a mixed reaction from viewers during ITV's coverage of the 2026 World Cup opening ceremony after raising concerns about visa issues and politics surrounding the tournament just minutes into the broadcaster's coverage.Speaking ahead of the opening match between Mexico and South Africa, the former Manchester United defender argued that major controversies have become a familiar part of the build-up to World Cups.Neville immediately talked about the row involving Somali referee Omar Artan, who was denied entry to the country. He said: "It's ridiculous that he can't come into the country. He's been picked by FIFA and has been lauded as one of the very best."Behind me is the Statue of Liberty. I don't think he'll be feeling liberty right now.TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour Say"When you host a World Cup, you're effectively giving your country over to football for four to six weeks. We need tolerance and people who can accept that people can come from a different part of the world. That's not happened here.""We've seen this film before. In the build-up to World Cups we're used to the controversies and politics. We've seen it in Russia, Qatar and now in America.LATEST DEVELOPMENTSBen Stokes feels the wrath of ECB chief Rob Key with booze ban consideredRob Edwards discovered Wolves sack 'on social media' as players vent fury at decisionKim Kardashian mocked by F1 drivers after Lewis Hamilton brought new beau to Monaco Grand Prix"We've seen the referee issues with the visas. We have to get referees in, they're FIFA officials, I don't know why FIFA haven't been stronger on that issue. Fans have struggled to get into the country."The Iranian team - it looks like common sense has prevailed with them and they're able to travel, even though they're not in this country, they're in Mexico."There are always things that litter a pre-tournament build-up. But once the football starts, it takes over."Neville's comments referenced concerns that emerged in the weeks leading up to the tournament, including reports that a Somali referee was denied entry to the United States, along with members of Iran's backroom staff facing travel difficulties.The issues have fuelled debate over immigration policies and whether host nations should make special arrangements to ensure all FIFA participants can attend the competition without disruption.However, not all viewers welcomed the discussion. On social media, some fans expressed frustration that political issues were being discussed so prominently at the start of the broadcast, arguing that attention should have been focused on the football and the opening ceremony.Others defended Neville's intervention, insisting that travel restrictions, visa disputes and organisational concerns are legitimate topics given their potential impact on teams, officials and supporters attending the tournament."I'm hoping that the football does supersede it all" @IanWright0, @GNev2 and Roy Keane have their say on the tumultuous build-up to the 2026 World Cup pic.twitter.com/l3stquoWSJ ITV Football (@itvfootball) June 11, 2026 The exchange reflects a familiar pattern seen at recent World Cups. Both Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022 were overshadowed by significant off-field debates before a ball was kicked, yet attention largely shifted to events on the pitch once the action began.With the opening ceremony under way and the first match of the tournament about to begin, Neville suggested football will ultimately become the dominant story once the competition gets into full swing.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
