Pep Guardiola insists Manchester City did everything they could to progress against Real Madrid in the Champions League this week and fired back at the suggestion that they weren’t good enough at the Etihad. City dominated the game against Real on Wednesday but conceded an early goal by Rodrygo and took an hour to get back on terms as the Spanish giants dropped deeper and deeper. As the contest went into extra time, City’s players tired and Real’s resolve strengthened, and it was the visitors who came out on top in the lottery of penalties. Guardiola was philosophical after the…

Manchester City are waiting on the fitness of Erling Haaland after the forward came off during the Champions League defeat to Real Madrid. Haaland played 90 minutes of the quarter-final on Wednesday night but did not appear in extra-time, with Julian Alvarez coming on in his place. Alvarez scored his penalty in the shootout, although it wasn’t enough as City were defeated 4-3. City are preparing for an FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea on Saturday and while Guardiola is confident that Kevin De Bruyne feels much better after he too was substituted, the news is less positive on Haaland. The…

The Premier League is set to provide an update on the potential points deduction that could impact Manchester City. Nottingham Forest’s appeal against a four-point penalty imposed by the Premier League will be heard next week. If there is any reduction in the penalty, similar to Everton’s case, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side could move further away from the relegation zone. Earlier this year, Forest became the second team to violate the league’s profitability and sustainability rules (PSRs), following Everton who had their initial ten-point deduction reduced to six after an appeal. Forest are just one point above Luton Town in…

It took Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro outside linebacker T.J. Watt only 89 career games to break James Harrison’s all-time franchise sack record. In seven seasons with the Steelers, Watt has six Pro Bowls, four first-team All-Pro selections, has led the league in sacks three times, and is tied with Michael Strahan for the NFL all-time single-season sack record at 22.5. Watt tied the record in his 2021 League MVP season. That’s another thing, Watt has been snubbed multiple times for NFL DPOY. The great Aaron Donald has even said so. He’s pretty much already a lock to be in the Pro…

The Pittsburgh Steelers have started Dan Moore Jr. in 49 regular season games and two playoff games since he was selected in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. While opinions vary largely on the Texas A&M product, the fact that he has managed to rise from a mid-round pick in the draft into an NFL starter is commendable. That doesn’t mean that Pittsburgh isn’t looking to find his replacement, however. Broderick Jones arrived in Pittsburgh via the 14th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and the proverbial clock started ticking on when Moore would lose his job.…

The Pittsburgh Steelers struck gold when they drafted Cam Heyward in the first round (31st overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft. Over his impressive 13-season tenure with the team, Heyward has notched an impressive array of achievements, boasting six Pro Bowl appearances and three All-Pro selections. With a career tally of 80.5 sacks and 647 combined tackles, including 404 solo tackles, Heyward’s on-field prowess is undeniable. Yet, his impact extends beyond statistics, earning him recognition such as the prestigious Walter Payton Man of the Year Award for the 2023 season. Despite Heyward’s stellar resume, the debate surrounding his Hall of…

Pittsburgh Steelers four-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback, Terry Bradshaw is known for his terrific humor. If his antics on game day aren’t enough, he does a live comedy show, sings, acts in movies, and a reality show he films with his family. However, sometimes his jokes have been known to go a little bit too far, and other people become unwitting victims. That’s exactly what happened to late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. Bradshaw has used his football success to fuel his passion for horses, breeding world-class quarter horses on his farm in Texas. In his book, It’s Only A Game, Bradshaw shares…

The saga of back-and-forth between Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson and NFL Hall of Famer and now analyst Shannon Sharpe caught the headlines this week. Sharpe took to his NightCap Podcast to hit at Wilson, who said that he “opened doors” for Black quarterback comments that he made in an recent exclusive interview with Essence. But Sharpe did not kindly to that, as he believed Wilson ignored history. “So what role did Doug Williams play? The first African-American quarterback to actually get to and win the Super Bowl and win MVP,” Sharpe said on the Nightcap Podcast. “So what about…

The Pittsburgh Steelers have several options for tackle at the 20th overall pick as it stands before the draft, and with the deep class, it would seem likely that the team dips into that depth. And it seems the team is interested in the guys from the west coast, as Steelers offensive line coach Pat Meyer was in Seattle for Washington Pro Day, according to Huskies Wire’s Alex Katson. According to Jordan Schultz, the Steelers, potentially Meyer, met with tackle Troy Fautanu before the team’s pro day. That’s another sign of interest for Fautanu. And the team brought him in…

The Pittsburgh Steelers could have an opportunity to select a highly regarded draft prospect who played college football in Pennsylvania for the second time in three years this April. That’s if Penn State offensive tackle Olu Fashanu is available for the Steelers at No. 20 overall. However, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo predicted that the Steelers likely wouldn’t draft Fashanu if he is available for them in the first round. “I think they would probably pass [on Fashanu],” Fittipaldo said while appearing on 93.7 The Fan on April 18. “He’s a left tackle. Their desire is to move Broderick Jones…
