Arsenal already needed a miracle to catch Liverpool atop the Premier League table, and a draw at Man United on Sunday did little to improve their odds.

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice struck in the second half to cancel out Bruno Fernandes's free kick but Mikel Arteta's men could only muster a 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Sunday in a big blow to their Premier League title chances.

Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr scored in the first half to give Real Madrid an easy 2-1 win over neighbours Rayo Vallecano on Sunday that helped them draw level at the top of the table in the battle to retain their LaLiga crown.

The Premier League will again stage a four-team Summer Series across three cities in the United States from July 26 to Aug. 3, featuring AFC Bournemouth, Everton, Manchester United and West Ham.

Carlo Ancelotti defended Real Madrid's performance in their 2-1 LaLiga win over Rayo Vallecano on Sunday, pointing to the struggles of a number of teams balancing Champions League football with domestic duties.

Cole Palmer's perfect penalty record came to an end when his spot kick was saved by goalkeeper Mads Hermansen during Chelsea's clash with Leicester City.

Bournemouth were left kicking themselves as they squandered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

Getafe's Mauro Arambarri scored a last-gasp quickfire double to upset 10-man Atletico Madrid 2-1 on Sunday as Diego Simeone's side missed a golden opportunity to move top of LaLiga.

Former NFL star running back and Tennessee State head football coach Eddie George is switching area codes. George has agreed to become the next coach of the Bowling Green Falcons, according to multiple reports.

Sources told ESPN that the university is expected to officially announce George's arrival on Sunday afternoon. George's decision comes shortly after reports surfaced saying the school extended an offer to the four-time Pro Bowler.

Bowling Green conducted an interview with George on Friday, per ESPN.

Prior to coaching, George rose to football stardom during his stellar stint at Ohio State. He rushed for 3,768 yards during his time with the Buckeyes, and won the 1995 Heisman Trophy.

Tennessee State experienced success under George. The Tigers punched their ticket to the FCS playoffs this past season, which marked the program's first playoff berth since 2013.

Scot Loeffler created the head coaching opening at Bowling Green when he departed to take the quarterbacks coach job with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The reigning Super Bowl champions needed to fill their quarterbacks coach vacancy after Doug Nussmeier followed Kellen Moore to the New Orleans Saints. Nussmeier will serve as the offensive coordinator in New Orleans during the 2025 season under head coach Moore.

George spent the majority of his professional football career with the Titans, before closing out his time in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys. He has 10,441 career rushing yards and remains the Titans' all-time rushing leader.

George's tenure at TSU is in line with a trend of NFL greats taking on head coaching jobs at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), before making the leap to a school that competes at the FBS level.

Deion Sanders was named the head coach at Jackson State in 2020. He left after the 2022 season in favor of the head coaching job at Colorado.

Meanwhile, former Atlanta Falcons star Michael Vick was recently named the next head coach at Norfolk State and DeSean Jackson will coach the Delaware State football team this upcoming season.

The Kansas City Chiefs gave quite the generous early birthday present to young linebacker Nick Bolton on Sunday. 

Bolton, who turns 25 on Monday, has reportedly agreed to a three-year, $45 million deal, which includes $30 million fully guaranteed at signing, to remain with the franchise, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. 

Bolton was set for free agency after his rookie contract was up following his four seasons with the Chiefs. But Kansas City, recognizing how vital the middle linebacker is to their defensive success, didn’t let him touch the market.

This is a trend Kansas City has had this offseason following their tough loss in Super Bowl LIX to the Philadelphia Eagles. They’ve retained necessary talent on their roster that were set for free agency, with guard Trey Smith also being hit with the franchise tag to keep him in place on the offensive line. 

The Chiefs also brought wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown back on a one-year pact.

Speaking of the Eagles, their stud linebacker, Zach Baun, was also signed to a lucrative long-term extension to make sure he wasn’t a free agent. In turn, the top middle linebackers expected to be on the market are now staying with their respective franchises. 

CHIEFS AGREE TO BRING BACK WIDE RECEIVER HOLLYWOOD BROWN AFTER XAVIER WORTHY'S ARREST: REPORTS

It only makes sense the Chiefs found Bolton a priority before the legal tampering period begins on Monday. 

Bolton, a second-round pick out of Missouri in the 2021 NFL Draft, has been a defensive staple in Steve Spagnuolo’s scheme, totaling 458 combined tackles and five sacks through 57 career regular-season games thus far. 

Last season, Bolton had 106 combined tackles, three sacks, six passes defended, one forced fumble, one interception and 11 tackles for loss. 

And just two seasons ago – he played only eight games in 2023 due to injury – Bolton had a whopping 180 tackles, two sacks, one forced fumble, two interceptions and three passes defended over 17 games. 

That season also marked his first Super Bowl victory, where he had a game-changing play when he strip-sacked Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and ran back the fumble recovery for a touchdown. 

Then, during the Chiefs’ back-to-back Super Bowl run, Bolton led the team with 40 combined tackles, ultimately leading up to the win over the San Francisco 49ers in overtime to defend the title. 

Only four years into the NFL, Bolton has made his mark as one of the best young linebackers in the game, having the ability to rush the passer, stop the run, and get sideline to sideline to make tackles – a vital asset for any good defense in the modern game. 

With this contract, the Chiefs will have Bolton under contract through the 2027 season.
