Harry Maguire’s mother, Zoe, has criticised the negative and abusive comments directed at her son, calling his treatment “disgraceful”.
The 30-year-old was booed during England’s 3-1 win over Scotland in Tuesday’s friendly at Hampden Park. After coming on as a substitute at half-time Maguire was jeered, while his introduction was also questioned by pundits. The Manchester United centre-back scored a 67th-minute own goal in what was his third game of the season.

We’re inching closer and closer to NFL training camps and eventually the regular season starting in September. Heading into all that there are quite a few quarterbacks around the league that have some lofty expectations to live up to and others who are on the hot seat and in danger of losing their starting positions. This list highlights the 10 QBs under the most pressure to produce in 2022. 10. Daniel Jones source: Getty Images For Danny Dimes, it’s time to show something. Anything. Average would be acceptable at this point. Following a promising rookie campaign in 2019 (24 TDs, 3,027 passing yards), Jones has regressed since and finds himself on the verge of wearing that ‘bust’ label we often hear with high draft picks, especially QBs. If Jones can’t produce more than he…
This gentleman is named Arthur Abraham, and he's the IBF middleweight champion, whatever the hell that means anymore. If you're looking at his hat and thinking, "Gee, that kind of looks like a Smurf hat," well, you're right: That's exactly what it is. You see, Abraham is a boxer who is obsessed with The Smurfs. He calls himself "The Smurf," and he — seriously — actually uses The Smurfs theme song as his ring entrance music, which, without question, is the lamest goddamned entrance humanly possible, save for maybe anything by Creed. And now The Smurfs are pissed. Those who own the rights to The Smurfs theme song have demaned Abraham to cease-and-desist playing the song before fights, and they'd like him to lose the hat too. Those with t…
Until the 87th minute of this afternoon’s match against Spain, the biggest news Croatia had made at Euro 2016 was when fans threw a bunch of explosives and flares onto the pitch during a game against the Czech Republic. Croatian fans were reportedly planning another attack during the 30th minute today, but they remained under control and watched on as their team, down Luka Modrić and Mario Mandžukić, handed Spain their first Euro loss since 2004. Not only did their team beat the defending champs, they gave themselves an easier path to the final and shook up the tournament in the process. Spain came out hard early and were creating chances from the first minute of the game, scoring easily a few minutes later after David Silva played a perfectly incisive ball past young Tin Jedvaj. …
Time to put on our bitchy pants and say shitty things about the Oscars and everyone nominated for the Oscars. Now, according to Entertainment Weekly, this year’s Oscars will be “song-and-dance heavy,” which is arguably the most terrifying thing I have ever read. The Grammys were two weeks ago. That is the show where singing and dancing are appropriate. When singing and dancing happen at the Oscars, you get this. Who asked for more musical bullshit at the Oscars this year? Was it you? If it was you, I’ll piss in your soup. All of this will presided over by Seth MacFarlane, who’s so hip with the kids these days and will surely get ABC the two percent bump in male 18-24 viewership that they so desperately covet. And I think you and I can agree that, when it comes to hosting a ye…
A San Francisco high school baseball coach made a racist remark toward his Asian-American player during a game, according to another player’s father, who spoke to columnists Phil Matier and Andy Ross of the San Francisco Chronicle. Nakia Kashima said Don Papa, social studies teacher and coach of Galileo Academy of Science and Technology, made the comment during a Feb. 24 varsity game: As Kashima tells it, the targeted Galileo player, who is U.S.-born, was standing on first base and appeared puzzled by instructions being called to him by his coach, Don Papa. The coach then let loose on his player — yelling “at the top of his lungs from the dugout in a fake Chinese dialect, ‘Ching, chong, something something,’” Kashima said. He said Papa added: “Do you understand me now? D…
data-mm-id=”_38wzyvzam”>Tua Tagovailoa's health is an uncertainty following hip surgery and a long rehab. His potential, when healthy, is not in doubt. This makes him one of the most compelling, if not the most compelling figure in the 2020 NFL Draft. Franchise quarterbacks don't grow on trees and there are several teams in desperate need of one. Joe Burrow is ripe for the picking at No. 1 and the Cincinnati Bengals will almost certainly take a big ol' bite of that apple. Washington at No. 2 just took the plunge with Dwayne Haskins last year and aren't as disillusioned as the Arizona Cardinals were last year before the Josh Rosen-for-Kyler Murray swap. So that will leave the Detroit Lions at No. 3 with an interesting decision. Or so they'd like you to think. Wi…

Finebaum was responding to what North Carolina coach Mack Brown said about Emmert the day before on The Paul Finebaum Show.
