Baker Mayfields performance declined in his third year as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback last season. But he was apparently dealing with injuries that werent previously reported. Mayfield reveals that he played with a sprained MCL and PCL in his knee since Week 2 on the new season of Netflixs Quarterback docuseries, via the Tampa Bay Times Rick Stroud. The third season of Quarterback premieres July 14. Bucs QB Baker Mayfield, on the Netflix series Quarterbaxk, reveals he played with a sprained MCL and PCL since Week 2. He also had a bad biceps contusion that was bruised and affected his velocity. Then the left shoulder injury vs. Rams. Bonus for toughness but it affected his Rick Stroud (@NFLSTROUD) July 13, 2026If that was indeed the case, its presumably news to the NFL. Mayfields knee wasnt mentioned much during the season on the leagues injury report. Knee is only listed four times among the 10 weeks when Mayfields name was among the Bucs injuries in Weeks 5, 8 10 and 18 as Pro Football Talks Mike Florio highlights. Otherwise, biceps, oblique and shoulder injuries, in addition to illness were mentioned for Mayfield on the injury report. Mayfields revelation confirms what linebacker Lavonte David said on The Arena podcast in April about the quarterback on the shows April 6 episode.Play Yahoo's new College Fantasy Football game: Create or join a league now!Man, Baker was going through a lot, bro, David said. Baker had a lot of injuries that you didnt expect a quarterback to play through. You know what Im saying?He had the oblique injury, he had the shoulder injury, he had a lot of things, he added. You know, ankle injury, knee injury He was really trying to push through and really trying to be the player that we needed him to be.After throwing for 4,500 yards and 41 touchdowns on 71.4% completions during the 2025-26 season (and 4,044 yards with 28 TDs the previous year), Mayfields production slid to 3,693 yards, 26 TDs and a 63.2% completion rate. He only threw for 300 yards or more twice in 16 games and compiled fewer than 200 yards seven times.That fall in Mayfields numbers could certainly be a reason that he and the Buccaneers have not yet agreed on a new contract. He is in the final year of the three-year extension he signed in 2024, set to pay him nearly $40 million. Could the Bucs be concerned about Mayfields durability after sustaining so many injuries last season? Its also possible that he wasnt completely candid about his injuries, which is why they werent listed on the report. Before inking him to a new extension, the team might want to know exactly how healthy their quarterback is.

Tuesday's 2026 FIFA World Cup semifinal between Spain and France at Dallas Stadium is a true blockbuster between two teams with legitimate grounds to consider themselves the best in the world. Here is everything you need to know for Tuesday at the World Cup: France vs. Spain When: Tuesday, July 14, 3 p.m. ET Where: Dallas Stadium TV: FOX Stream: Watch three days free on FOX One France and Spain are heavyweights in world soccer, and recent matches between the two national teams indicate that little separates them. In October 2021, France defeated Spain 2-1 in the UEFA Nations League final. Mikel Oyarzabal gave Spain the lead in the 64th minute before Karim Benzema equalized two minutes later. Kylian Mbapp eventually found a winner in the 80th minute. The two teams saw their paths cross again in the semifinals of Euro 2024, where Spain won 2-1 in Munich. Randal Kolo Muani opened the scoring for France in the 9th minute before Lamine Yamal equalized in the 21st minute, and Dani Olmo found the winner in the 25th minute. The most recent meeting came last year in the semifinal of the 2025 UEFA Nations League, where Spain edged France 5-4 in a high-scoring thriller. Spain had a 5-1 lead into the 79th minute before France mounted a furious comeback attempt that fell just short of an equalizer. Yamal finished with two goals, while Mbapp had one from the penalty spot. If history is any indication, Tuesdays game at the World Cup could be special. Despite Spain getting the upper hand in the last two major games between the two, France should be considered the favorite, and the main reason for this is Ousmane Dembl. Prior to this World Cup, Dembl had never scored for France in a major tournament. The reigning Ballon dOr winner has finally translated his incredible talent to the international game. With his goal against Morocco in the quarterfinal, Dembl now has five goals and two assists at this tournament. Dembls surge within France has only made things even easier for Kylian Mbapp, who is well on pace to become the greatest World Cup player of all time. With one title under his belt, Mbapp has 20 career World Cup goals, which is just one behind leader Lionel Messi. But Mbapp has 12 career World Cup knockout goals, which is the most in the history of the tournament. He is also the only player to have over 10 goal involvements in two different World Cups. Then there is Michael Olise, who has five assists at this World Cup and can be considered the best midfielder of this tournament. France has had players of this caliber for years, but never has all its best offensive players been in such great form at the same time. If that continues into this week, Spain could be in trouble. But Spain deserves to be very confident. Its possession and defense gradually frustrate and wear opponents down. Head coach Luis de la Fuente also has Spain playing well under his watch. Spain under de la Fuente has been consistently good, even after winning Euro 2024. Under de la Fuente, Spain has won all seven of its knockout-stage matches in major tournaments (Euro 2024 and World Cup 2026). It took opponents 649 minutes to score against Spain at this World Cup. Spain was only scored upon in its 2-1 quarterfinal win over Belgium. Against France, Spain will need performances from central midfielders Pedri and Rodri, who are typically elite in possession and often have opponents chasing the game trying to win the ball back. If there is anything that could frustrate France, it would be struggling to keep possession. Lamine Yamal was nominated for the most recent Ballon d'Or as a teenager but has just one goal at this World Cup. He is young and has played well, but he is capable of more. Similarly, forward Mikel Oyarzabal is yet to score in the knockouts, and he needs to match the level of Mbapp and Dembl for Spain to win. From what we have seen at this World Cup, France should be the favorite, but a broader look at history tells us this is too close to call and will not be over until the final whistle. Players to Watch While still only in his prime years at age 27, Mbapp is already chasing historic records. He already has the most knockout goals in World Cup history, but a goal against Spain would have him tie Messi for the most ever career World Cup goals. A brace would then have Messi chasing Mbapp for the World Cup record. It is rare when you know someone is so historically good before the end of his career, but that is where Mbapp is. He has another chance in this game to elevate both him and France in the context of all-time great status. Could Yamal be the next Mbapp or Messi? After being nominated for the Ballon dOr as an 18-year-old and leading Spain to the European Championships in 2024, there is a strong foundation for him to become one of the all-time greats. But Yamal has just one goal in this tournament, despite still playing well most of the time. This will be a huge opportunity for him to win the types of games that the greatest players frequently do.

Former Wolverines assistant Chris Partridge claims Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel and ex-president Santa Ono discovered evidence of the scheme in January 2023 -- 12 months before the team's national title win

Thus far, Michigan basketball lost three assistants -- Justin Joyner to Oregon State (before Dusty May's departure), as well as Drew Williamson and Mody Maor, who are following May to the NBA. Additionally, new head coach Mike Boynton Jr. was elevated from the assistant level, so there are a lot of potential vacancies on the Wolverines' coaching staff.One position is now filled, according to a Michigan basketball release.Boynton is dipping into a head coaching well -- much like May (and Juwan Howard before him) in hiring a coach who was overseeing a program. The former head coach at Brown, Mike Martin (not to be confused with the former Michigan football standout) is leaving his alma mater, where he's overseen the program for 14 years. He's departing Providence in order to join the assistant pool in Ann Arbor.You can read the full press release below.Full releaseUniversity of Michigan David and Meredith Kaplan Men's Basketball Head CoachMike Boynton Jr.announced Monday (July 13) the addition ofMike Martinas an assistant coach for the Wolverines.Martin arrives in Ann Arbor after spending the past 14 years as the head coach at Brown University, where he became the winningest coach in program history while establishing the Bears as one of the Ivy League's premier programs."Mike is someone I've admired for a long time," said Boynton. "He's an outstanding coach, an exceptional teacher and one of the best recruiters in the game, but more than anything, he's a great person who truly invests in his players. At Brown, he's built consistently competitive teams through player development and a winning culture, and those values align perfectly with what we're building here in Ann Arbor. We're excited to welcome Mike, Kristin and their daughters to the Michigan family.""I'm incredibly grateful to Coach Boynton for the opportunity to join the Michigan basketball family," Martin said. "Michigan has established itself as one of the premier programs in college basketball, and it's easy to see why. The championship culture, the people and the commitment to excellence all make this a special place. I'm excited to get to work with our student-athletes and help build on everything this program has accomplished."Martin leaves Brown as the winningest coach in the program's 120-year history with 171 career victories. In February 2023, he surpassed Stanley Ward's 54-year-old school record for coaching wins and concluded his tenure, having guided the Bears through one of the most successful stretches in school history.Named Brown's head coach in 2012 at just 29 years old, Martin was the fourth-youngest head coach in Division I men's basketball. Over the next 14 seasons, he transformed his alma mater into a perennial Ivy League contender, highlighted by the program's first 20-win season (20-12) in 2018-19. That season, Brown earned a berth in the College Basketball Invitational, recorded the program's first postseason victory, and Martin was named the Ivy League Coach of the Year.Martin's teams consistently developed some of the Ivy League's top talent. Brown produced four consecutive All-Ivy League first team selections from 2022-25, highlighted by three-time first-team honoree Kino Lilly Jr. During Martin's tenure, Bears players also earned five Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year awards, an Ivy League Rookie of the Year honor, multiple Academic All-America recognitions and numerous all-conference accolades.Before returning to Brown, Martin spent six seasons (2006-12) as an assistant coach at Penn. During that span, the Quakers won the 2007 Ivy League championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament before returning to postseason play in 2012 with a berth in the College Basketball Invitational. Martin helped recruit and develop 2012 Ivy League Player of the Year Zack Rosen while establishing himself as one of the conference's top recruiters and player developers.Martin began his coaching career at Brown as an assistant coach during the 2005-06 season before following head coach Glen Miller to Penn the following year.A 2004 Brown graduate, Martin was a four-year starting guard and co-captain for the Bears from 2000-04. He helped Brown post a 63-45 overall record and a school-record 39-17 Ivy League mark during his career while leading the Bears to four consecutive winning seasons and an NIT appearance in 2003. Martin finished his career ranked third in school history in three-point field goals (143), ninth in steals (113) and 10th in assists (232). Following graduation, he played professionally for Dart Killester in Ireland before beginning his coaching career.Martin is a member of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Regional Advisory Committee and was inducted into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame in the Perry category, recognizing distinguished achievement as both a player and coach.This article originally appeared on Wolverines Wire: Michigan basketball adds former Brown head coach Mike Martin

Lionel Messi is "more mortal now", former England international Gary Pallister has told GOAL, with the Three Lions considered to be capable of ending Argentina's World Cup title defense. Thomas Tuchel's side are due to lock horns with the reigning champions on Wednesday, with questions already being asked of how best to contain an evergreen all-time great. Messi The GOAT Aiming To Defend His World Cup Title Despite being 39 years of age, eight-time Ballon dOr winner Messi has been showing no sign of slowing down. He may come into contention for Golden Ball No.9, with another global crown within sight after making history in MLS at current employers Inter Miami. The South American GOAT has plundered eight goals at the 2026 World Cup becoming the competition's all-time leading scorer as he remains an inspirational talisman for his country, and has surged beyond 200 caps. He guided Argentina, in Diego Maradona-esque fashion, to the most prestigious prize in football at Qatar 2022. Bellingham, Kane Have Been Starring For England England now block Messis path in an ongoing bid to go back-to-back, with the Three Lions seeing match winners of their own emerge in the form of record-setting captain Harry Kane and Galactico midfielder Jude Bellingham. They will be giving Argentina - players, coaches and supporters - sleepless nights, but will there also be some bleary eyes in the England camp? Tuchel and Co need to come up with a tactical plan that limits Messis impact on proceedings. How Do You Stop Messi? Is That Even Possible? Quizzed on whether that is possible, or if there needs to be acceptance that the mercurial No.10 will have his say at some point, ex-Three Lions defender Pallister - speaking in association with NetBet Sport - told GOAL: "Messi's not Messi of 10 years ago, I don't think. "Yes, he's still pivotal to Argentina, he's still the go-to man, but I don't think he can do the damage that he did when he was at his peak. I don't think he can waltz through teams like he used to. "He's still a wonderful technician. The goal he scored the other night [against Cape Verde] when he took it down with the outside of his foot and slammed it in the roof of the net was exquisite. "He can score goals. He is the team leader in that side. He was four years ago and he still is now. But I don't think hes the player he was when he was taking Barcelona to European Cups and La Liga titles. "Obviously he's still dangerous. He's more of a mortal now, I would say. He can be ingenious in those little small pockets, can manipulate the ball, can score a goal. "I don't think they'll man-mark him or anything like that. But he's a player that, obviously, you have to be aware of and try and nullify. We've been looking at the weaknesses of the England team, and that probably has been at the back. But I think we have too much for Argentina on the night. "I don't think that heat is going to be an issue. I think its being played indoors at the arena in Atlanta. I think the lads will be pleased about that. They'll be more comfortable with the environment. "I think there'll be a belief in that team that they can win that game. And let's hope Spain beat France, because I think they're the team of the tournament, France. I think they'll take some stopping." 2026 World Cup: Four Heavyweights In Semifinal Action France, with Kylian Mbapp topping the Golden Boot chart at present, are set to take on Spain 24 hours prior to England locking horns with Argentina. Whatever happens across both fixtures, an epic final showdown on the outskirts of New York will be lined up. Messi is hoping to be there, but so too are Kane, Bellingham and a pack of lions that are seeking to end 60 years of trophy-chasing hurt. Somebody is likely to produce a moment of magic in Atlanta that alters the course of the game, but it is yet to be determined who that will be and whether another iconic figure will join the likes of Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo in taking a "last dance" on the grandest of sporting stages.

Leeds United Push Verbal Proposal For 40m Defender: Right Choice For Farke?The transfer window is heating up. Leeds United are pushing hard to wrap up their first major defensive signing of the summer, with Elland Road chiefs launching a formal verbal contract proposal to a highly rated Serie A star.Leeds United close in on major defensive target this summerAccording to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on X, the West Yorkshire club have jumped into pole position for the Bosnian international centre-back Tarik Muharemovi. It is a bold move. They want the deal finalised next week. Two rival top-flight teams are still breathing down their necks, but Leeds United are confident they can cross the finishing line before anyone else has a chance to hijack the transfer.Direct club-to-club talks with Italian side Sassuolo are already on the calendar to thrash out the financial structure. Crucially, the player wants the move to England. That gives Leeds a massive advantage in these negotiations.Why do the club need this defensive reinforcement?SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA JULY 01: Folarin Balogun #20 of the United States fouls Tarik Muharemovic #4 of Bosnia and Herzegovina which is later reviewed by VAR and awarded as a red card foul a during the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32 match between USA and Bosnia and Herzegovina at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium on July 01, 2026 in Santa Clara, California. (Photo by Michael Steele/Getty Images)The 23-year-old defender had a brilliant breakthrough year in Italy. He clocked up 32 league appearances during the recent 2025/26 Serie A campaign, even chipping in with two vital goals. He is a proper unit. He is 1.92 metres tall. The towering centre-half commands his penalty box with real authority and handles physical forwards without breaking a sweat.He offers a rare combination of brute strength and composure on the ball. Muharemovi can pick a pass from deep, making him the perfect fit for the current tactical system. Then there is his recent international form. He put in some excellent displays at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, proving he can cope with elite attackers on the biggest stage.This looks like a brilliant piece of business. The current squad desperately lacks a tall, progressive defender who can dominate aerial duels and instantly launch quick counter-attacks.The European media are hinting at a price tag close to 40m. That is steep. A fee of around 30 million feels like the absolute limit for where he is in his development. Going over 35 million carries too much financial risk, and the recruitment team must stay disciplined. If Sassuolo demand an unrealistic fee, Leeds United should look elsewhere. The board have a clear shortlist of backup options ready. Getting this signature secured before pre-season ends gives the manager a massive asset for a tough Premier League campaign. Decisive action is needed now.
