CNN — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers revealed on Tuesday that he thinks this upcoming NFL season could be his last in the league. “Yeah, I’m pretty sure this is it,” Rodgers, 41, said on “The Pat McAfee Show.” “That’s why we just did a one-year deal.

It’s been a long run, and I’ve enjoyed it. What better place to finish than in…
Paris AP — Seven-time French champion Lyon was relegated to the second tier on Tuesday because of ongoing financial irregularities.

INDIA TOUR OF ENGLAND, 2025 The openers laid the foundation for England’s memorable win. © Getty Ben Stokes hailed the 188-run opening stand between Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley for laying the foundation for England’s successful fourth-innings chase of 371 in the Headingley Test against India. While Duckett earned the headlines with a match-winning 149, Stokes highlighted Crawley’s 65 as equally vital in crafting a disruptive, complementary presence at the top of the order. “Chasing 370 like we were, you always want to get off to a good start. The least amount of wickets that you lose early on is…
INDIA TOUR OF ENGLAND, 2025 England made short work of the 371-run target on Day 5 in Leeds ©Getty Shardul Thakur had two balls to hold on. Not with the bat, but with the ball. It was the 79th over, England needed just 30, and any remaining flicker of India’s hope rested on reaching the second new ball. If there was even the faintest crack in the chase, it could only be prized open by Jasprit Bumrah with a fresh Dukes in hand. Shubman Gill, wearing the strain of captaincy in his first Test in charge, offered Thakur a 7-2…
That means there is no spot in the XI for back-up spinner Matt Kuhnemann, with Cummins instead deciding to stick with the three-pronged pace attack that has served the side so well during the last World Test Championship cycle. “Coming over here with a few unknowns, that’s fine, you have to think on your feet. We feel like the three quicks are better suited for this wicket.”Cummins said. Cummins said he wanted to give Green an extended run at No.3 to provide a bit more stability to the batting line-up. “I always like to not have too many moving parts,”…
Nathan Lyon cheekily coined it ‘Dazball’ after coach Daren Sammy and West Indies captain Roston Chase declared there would be fireworks in the first Frank Worrell Trophy Test after the hosts ushered in a new era for their red-ball side. Chase, who will play his first Test in more than two years and 50th overall after being recalled as skipper for the series opener in Barbados, added he hoped the Aussies were “still hurting” from Shamar Joseph’s stunning seven-wicket haul as they prepare to face the Guyanese tearaway for the first time since their Gabba miracle in January 2024.”I hope…
COLOMBO: Pakistan’s challenge at the Asian 6-Red and Team Snooker Championship narrowed dramatically on Tuesday as defending champion Awaisullah Munir and seasoned campaigner Mohammad Sajjad suffered defeats in the knockout stages. However, the nation’s hopes remain alive as the experienced Mohammad Asif battled through to the semi-finals in Colombo. The day brought mixed fortunes for the Pakistani contingent.

He first overcame Cambodia’s Neang Tola in the pre-quarterfinals with a convincing 5-1 victory. After dropping the opening frame (16-27), Asif found his rhythm,…
LONDON: Olympic boxing will become just a youth tournament if the International Boxing Association stays excluded as a governing body, IBA president Umar Kremlev said on Monday. The Russian told Reuters through a translator that the IBA, suspended by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 2019 and stripped of recognition in 2023, was heading into a ‘golden era’ of its own. “For the boxers it will be important to participate in the world championships and the IBA tournaments. The Olympics will be for the children. It’s children’s sport,” he said via a Zoom call. “It’s like football and the FIFA…
