Graham Rahal, Louis Foster and Mick Schumacher are all going to end up in the bottom five, then Takuma Sato is going to jump into the exact same car and somehow make a miracle happen. Count on it. #Indy500

That was an absolutely BLISTERING run by Felix Rosenqvist!!! #Indy500

⏳

If José Mourinho’s widely reported return to Real Madrid happens, I can see a domino effect unfolding where Marco Silva replaces him at Benfica then Felipe Luís replaces Silva at Fulham. All three are represented by Jorge Mendes.

Seven positions gained in seven laps! Kyle Kirkwood is hunting down Álex Palou for not just the race win, but the championship lead! #IndyCar #IndyGP

Hell yeah! #njpw #njDONTAKU

Interesting!

What came of the rumoured Iniesta-Xavi takeover of the Morocco national team? #AtlasLions #DimaMaghrib

Vinicius Junior should leave Real Madrid. It’s Kylian Mbappé’s team now. Arsenal need an elite attacker. Bukayo Saka is earning >£300k p/w (per BBC Sport) if Vini is willing to accept that bracket. Arsenal could sweeten the pot w/ Ethan Nwaneri or Myles Lewis-Skelly on loan + option. Go for it. #AFC

He’s coming home 🤯💣 #CFC

Today I learned Pachirisu has 90 Sp. Def. – I haven't played competitive Pokémon in nearly 10 years but back in the day, I would've been straight on Pokémon Showdown testing the most diabolical RestTalk set with Charge Beam and Super Fang in ZU. Those were the good old days. (Shoutout pokeaimMD.)

This might just be Josef Newgarden’s race to lose on the alternate strategy! #IndyCar #AGPLB

McLaren should replace Nolan Siegel in the No. 6 with Callum Ilott, like, yesterday. #IndyCar

Feels like time’s up for Eddie Howe at Newcastle. If that job opens up, it’s an interesting vacancy. Andoni Iraola is one of the first names who comes to mind – poetic, really, given today's result – but does he want to stay in England? (On a related note: Anthony Gordon is as good as gone, too.)

Niko Kovač has to go. Next: Fabian Hürzeler, Julian Nagelsmann or Sebastian Hoeneß. #BVB

🥰

Suggesting Xavi for Inter Miami is ridiculous but having the sporting director as the interim manager is a bit odd, no? Have to wonder what's next for Javier Mascherano. The Argentina national team (eventually) makes sense. You can just see a West Ham-type club making a rogue appointment like that.

If there's one thing I want out of the AEW-CMLL relationship this year, it's Luchasaurus competing on Team World in the International Gran Prix representing Pangaea – not the U.S. – because he's a dinosaur. #AEWDynasty #wrestlesky

Yes, it's bleak now – but just wait until Calum McFarlane is appointed this summer. Then it'll be really atrocious. #CFC

It feels like whoever becomes the next Real Madrid head coach is being handed a poisoned chalice. Who wants that job? Two who definitely don't: Jürgen Klopp and Unai Emery. Is it a get-out-of-jail-free card for Mauricio Pochettino? Max Allegri would be hilariously dull. Is Andoni Iraola too rogue?

This is a lot more feasible now than it was 12 months ago.

Trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo would be a decidedly "un-Celtics" move but the thought of Brad Stevens upselling Derrick White and Sam Hauser – aka keeping both Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum – for a top-five player sends shivers down my spine. Imagine a team with Antetokounmpo-Brown-Tatum.

On a related note: I don't expect this to happen BUT in a world where Thomas Tuchel is England manager, I think Pep Guardiola would be very well-suited to the Germany national team if Julian Nagelsmann were to leave after the World Cup this summer.

99% of people would point to the Germany national team as Jürgen Klopp's return to management – fair enough – but I think Paris FC have a lot to offer 🧵⬇️

I'll only condone Andy Robertson joining Tottenham Hotspur this summer (terribly boring) if a season spent under Roberto De Zerbi is a precursor to him joining a Serie A club as an attacking left-sided central defender in 2027. He'd be a killer replacement for Barcelona-bound Alessandro Bastoni.

Did Arsène Wenger get any serious offers to return to management after leaving Arsenal? Returning to Japan as the head coach of the men's national team could've been fun – more fun than, as Nicky Bandini eloquently put it, trying to reinvent the offside rule 15 different ways!

Woah.

Brutal. #THFC

Kehl out, Krösche in? #BVB

Yeah, this is absolutely fucking insane (in the best way possible). #deathvegasinvi

Newey trying to block Horner from joining Aston Martin is incredible drama. #F1

What a world. #pwzero1

We might need Christian "Razzle Dazzle" Rasmussen in the No. 6 for McLaren next year. #IndyCar #GoodRanchers250

That didn’t last long.

Conor Gallagher is a very Inter-coded midfielder.

Kanté to Fenerbahçe is crazy. Good for him.

Is it time?

I didn't expect to revisit this anytime soon...

Harden to the Cavs is killing me. Nukes the Clippers' season out of nowhere – amidst a 17-5 run – due to feeling slighted on a contract extension and orchestrates a trade that makes him the primary ball-handler on a contender... again! What an absolute dog. Generational bag work. Here. We. Go!!!

If I'm not mistaken, assuming the top-8 protected 2026 1st round pick from WSH conveys into two 2nd round picks, NYK can offer MIL as many as ten 2nd round picks (three in '26, four in '27, two in '28 and one in '32) and two 1st round pick swaps ('30 and '32) in a Giannis Antetokounmpo deal. #NBAsky

Pogba to River Plate is crazy!

If LBJ decides to continue playing and leaves LAL in free agency, where to? CLE & GSW are obv but I can’t shake DAL: familiarity w/ co-stars + coach, no state income tax (important if below-max deal), mentorship opp w/ Flagg & valuable allies for future Las Vegas expansion team. A lot to like there.

On the #Bills head coach opening: I think Philip Rivers is a very real possibility. His relationship with Josh Allen will carry a lot of weight. It’ll come down to the staff he can build around himself. Gut still says Brian Daboll here but if Rivers doesn’t get this, he’ll be a top candidate in ‘27.

So it begins...

I’m not ready for Enzo Maresca’s Manchester City versus Oliver Glasner’s Manchester United next season. #MCFC #MUFC

Today I learned Cruzeiro have just signed a midfielder from Zenit in his age-29 season for €27 million. Sweet mercy.

In what world is Lucas Paquetá worth €40 million? And how can Flamengo afford that?

Question: Mike Tomlin was under contract for 2026 with a team option for 2027 that had to be exercised by March 1 (reported by Adam Schefter last month) – what happens now? Is he a free agent next year? Or do the #Steelers retain his rights?
