data-mm-id=”_z0mkq8eh3″>On Thursday it was reported the Japanese government has "privately concluded" the 2021 Summer Olympics set for Tokyo will have to be cancelled due to COVID-19. The government is hoping it can secure the 2032 Olympics as a consolation prize. If the Summer Games can't be held in 2021, the logical move won't be cancelling them, it would be moving them to 2022. The Tokyo Olympics have already been delayed once, as they were supposed to occur in 2020 but had to be pushed back due to the global coronavirus pandemic. While the International Olympic Committee is still planning for the event to take place this summer, the host country apparently doesn't think it's going to happen. Canceling the competition outright is an extreme overreaction…

data-mm-id=”_3y76xc73k”>Justin Fields has found his rhythm in the NFL and the Chicago Bears are finally using him the right way. The sophomore QB shook off a brutal start to the season and has turned in four weeks of quality performances, powered by a newfound freedom to tuck and run whenever he pleases. Fields broke the league record for the most rushing yards by a quarterback in a regular-season game and kept the Bears competitive, a far cry from the early days of the year. The signal-caller is still far from a finished product, especially in the passing game. For how good he's been in the last month Fields still struggles to produce through the air. Over the last four games, he's thrown for eight touchdowns and only two interceptions, which is great. But he only averages 6…

data-mm-id=”_d0ek3br3g”>ABC has named its first-ever golden years Bachelor and he's an absolute snack. And not like a Werther's Original buttery candy or a King peppermint disc, the type of fare you might expect when the whole premise is The Bachelor/Bachelorette for septuagenarians. There's no need to apologize to Gerry Turner, a 71-year-old from Indiana who loves his Chicago sports teams because the complaint here is that he's too hot. It took years and years for this idea, which has been bouncing around since before the pandemic, to ruminate and that part of the reason is that they literally had to scour the globe for the best-looking man alive who can actually remember the launching of Sputnik or Don Larsen's World Series perfect game. When asked about the …

data-mm-id=”_lmiqghuyk”>Jim Jordan failed to be elected Speaker of the House for the third time on Friday and the trend continues to get worse for the Ohio Republican. He only garnered 194 votes of the 217 he needed, as the gap between Jordan and the speakership continues to grow. As the vote was unfolding, CNN's Jake Tapper subtly ripped Jordan.On the first vote on Tuesday, 20 GOP members voted against Jordan, that number climbed to 22 on Wednesday and grew to 25 on Friday. Despite it being obvious to everyone else, Jordan seems to be deluded into thinking he can somehow pull this out. Tapper took a shot at Jordan as it became clear he wouldn't win again. Watch:“Now, I recognize that Congressman Jordan is not somebody who necessarily respects election results, but this is,…

data-mm-id=”_ijg2amy6r”>The Dallas Cowboys went to Buffalo to take on the Bills on Sunday afternoon. Both teams are coming off big wins against their rivals so expectations were quite high heading into the game. It seems the adrenaline was pumping pretty hard, too, because it took less than a quarter for the two teams to get into a fight. After the Bills marched down the field to open the game with a touchdown run, Dak Prescott took over for the Cowboys in an attempt to do the same. On a third down near midfield Prescott tucked and ran the ball to gain the first down. As he slid to end the play, though, Bills safety Taylor Rapp came flying in and caught Prescott in the head. This did not please the Cowboys, and especially not offensive lineman Zach Martin. He came charging in and belly…

The Golden State Warriors head coach discussed politics and shared how "nerve wracking" his speech was at the Democratic National Convention last month.The conversation eventually turned to basketball.

Ralf Rangnick has confirmed he has been approached by Bayern Munich over the pending vacancy at the Bundesliga giants.

Current Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel will leave his role at the end of the season and former Manchester United interim manager Rangnick has been linked as a possible successor.

Do I even want this?

But in an interview with Austrian football website 90minuten, Rangnick said he was committed to his current position as boss of Austria, who he has guided to the Euro 2024 finals.

Rangnick said: “There was a contact from Bayern Munich, I also informed the OFB (Austrian Football Association) about it.

“We have a very trusting relationship. My focus is on the Austrian national team. We are fully focused on the European Championship. I feel v…

According to reports, Newcastle United have reduced their shortlist of potential candidates to replace Manchester United-bound Dan Ashworth.

Newcastle sporting director Ashworth has been with the Premier League club since 2022 as the former Brighton chief was identified as a top target by PIF following their takeover.

The 53-year-old is regarded as one of the leading sporting directors around at the moment and his spell at Newcastle is expected to be brief as Man Utd want him.

Ashworth has a close relationship with new Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the INEOS chief is keen to bring him to Old Trafford as part of his major overhaul.

One of Ratcliffe s priorities in recent months has been to improve Man Utd s recruitment model. Chief executive Omar…
