The NFL moves fast, but the internet? Even faster. As the New York Giants prepare to make a potentially franchise-defining decision with the third pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, fans are buzzing with anticipation—and a touch of anxiety. But while speculation swirls around prospects like Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, an unexpected distraction has surfaced, courtesy of former Giants running back Brandon Jacobs. In a tweet that stunned and amused fans alike, Jacobs veered into personal territory, sharing a regret that no one saw coming. Social media lit up, not with draft takes, but with reactions to Jacobs’ late-night confession.
Mark Robins has praised Stoke City’s rising stars Nathan Lowe and Sol Sidibe, celebrating their nominations for EFL awards as a reflection of their talent and commitment. Both players, who have risen through the club’s academy from a young age, impressed during the first half of the season—Lowe with a prolific loan spell at Walsall, and Sidibe as a standout England youth captain. While injuries and limited game time have hampered their progress in recent months, Robins remains confident in their potential and believes they are setting the standard for others in the academy to follow.
“They’re the trailblazers,” Robins said. “It’s great for them, great for the club, and hopefully a sign of what’s to come from our academy.”
In a challenging season opener, the VFLW Cats were defeated by the Box Hill Hawks by 58 points, despite showing plenty of promise against a seasoned opponent. Geelong’s revamped squad, led by new captain Melanie Staunton, fought hard throughout the match. Staunton herself was a standout, collecting 20 disposals and nine tackles, demonstrating strong leadership. The Cats also saw positive performances from Lily Jordan, Abby Favell, and new recruit Jemima Woods, who scored Geelong’s first goal of the season.
However, the Hawks capitalized on their strong start, leading by 16 points at the first break and extending their advantage by half-time. Geelong responded with some spirited efforts in the second half, with Hayley Peck and Poppy Schaap getting on the scoreboard, but Box Hill’s late goals sealed their dominant victory. Despite the loss, the Cats’ relentless tackling and determination provided plenty of optimism for new coach Taylah Hassett, who will look to build on these positives in the coming weeks. Geelong now sets its sights on securing a win in round two against Carlton.
Leeds United’s 2-0 victory over Oxford United on Friday evening brought them a step closer to securing automatic promotion, maintaining their five-point lead over Sheffield United. Despite Oxford’s chances, Leeds had the better opportunities and could have won by a larger margin. Manor Solomon’s goal proved pivotal in ensuring the win, which was crucial after Burnley and Sheffield United had both won earlier in the day.
Looking ahead, Leeds’ next challenge is against Stoke City at Elland Road, with just three games remaining. Solomon, who was substituted late on, reassured fans that his early exit was due to cramp, not injury, and he would be fit for the Stoke match. To secure promotion, Leeds need at least four points from their remaining fixtures, with Sheffield United’s results playing a key role in determining how many points will be needed.
Michael Ihiekwe was initially named in Sheffield Wednesday’s starting line-up for their match against Stoke City, but a last-minute change saw him withdrawn just ahead of kick-off. Manager Danny Röhl revealed that the decision was made due to a severe injury — Ihiekwe had sustained a deep cut during training the previous day, which made wearing boots too painful. Despite traveling to the match, he was replaced by Dominic Iorfa, who was later substituted himself before the hour mark. Röhl confirmed that Iorfa’s substitution was a tactical decision, not injury-related, and provided valuable minutes for rookie Gabriel Otegbayo.
