"A few things had built up inside me" - Ermedin Demirovic makes admission after Stuttgart hat-trick Ermedin Demirovic admitted that “a few things had built up” inside him after producing a stunning first-half hat-trick in VfB Stuttgart’s Champions League opener against Viking FK. The Bosnia international struck three times in just 12 minutes as Sebastian Hoeness’ side secured a 3-1 victory at the MHPArena on Wednesday evening, with his goals arriving in the 20th, 26th and 32nd minutes It capped off an eventful few weeks for Demirovic, whose future had been the subject of considerable speculation towards the end of the summer transfer window. Galatasaray pushed to sign the 28-year-old and reportedly made an offer worth up to €20 million including bonuses, before Demirovic ultimately decided to remain in Stuttgart. Speaking to DAZN after being named Man of the Match against Viking, Demirovic was asked about pundit Nils Petersen’s suggestion that he often produces his best footb...

Napoli boss Allegri offers high praise of ‘extraordinary’ Arteta ahead of meeting with Arsenal Napoli boss Massimiliano Allegri believes Mikel Arteta has done an “extraordinary job” as Arsenal manager. After the devastation of losing out on penalties to PSG in last season’s final, the Gunners have an even stronger desire to win the competition for the first time in their history. Arteta will hope to get off to a winning start against Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Allegri praised what the Spanish coach has achieved so far with the north London club. “I think Arteta has done an extraordinary job in the last four years,” Allegri told the press. “He quickly brought a balance to the squad. They are very good on the ball, but just as good when they have to defend. He has instilled a great team mentality. “We know we are facing the Premier League champions and a team who reached the Champions League Final last season. “Every match starts at 0-0. It’s normal that Arsenal are ...

Do the New York Giants have a path to 8-plus wins in 2026?

Will the New York Giants exceed their over/under win total for next season? A panel of CBS Sports analysts issued a lean prediction that the Giants will finish over 7.5 wins in 2026, based on DraftKings Sportsbook’s over/under for the season. Lean: Over 7.5 (-110).  New York is a possible breakout team in 2026 with Jaxson Dart entering Year 2 and John Harbaugh now installed as head coach. Dart flashed his potential as a rookie (albeit with some reckless play as a runner), and if that can be honed in a bit under Harbaugh, there's a lot to like about the Giants. Malik Nabers is back as a true No. 1 weapon in the offense, and the defense boasts a slew of stud pass rushers, including Brian Burns. Their division isn't for the faint of heart, but they have the talent to put together eight wins.  The Giants do not have many favorable matchups. The Arizona Cardinals , New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns are the only three teams New York can confidently be expected to beat. The T...

(Photo by Ryan Kang/Getty Images) | Getty Images We asked and you answered! Los Angeles Rams fans expect Aaron Donald’s return to benefit young defensive lineman like Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske more than any other aspect of the team. Despite everything being to be determined, the expectation going into 2026 is regardless of however many snaps Donald gives, he’ll excel as he always did. With AD getting spelled by Braden Fiske, Kobie Turner, Poona Ford and more, each player may be able to thrive off of the other. This defensive line unit should be an immensely talented and versatile group with little to no drop-off when players sub in and out for one another. That’s L.A.‘s hope. Consider that every player on the Rams once again gets to learn and see how Donald move...

Duke's top prospect makes Jon Scheyer jealous with his explosiveness

As a former point guard himself, Duke head coach Jon Scheyer has a lot to offer young prospects at the position, building great relationships with his players over time, current Blue Devils point guard Caleb Foster being a great example. That said, Duke will usher in a new top point guard prospect for the 2026-27 college basketball season, Deron Rippey Jr. Rippey Jr., a two-time Gatorade New Jersey Boys Basketball Player of the Year award winner, has turned heads all summer due to his incredible athleticism at the position. When speaking at the Durham Sports Club, Scheyer offered a similar sentiment. "Probably the most explosive player at that position that I’ve coached," he said. "He’s 6'2", but when he jumps, he’s looking down at the rim. Makes me jealous." While Rippey Jr. is unlikely to start right away, his development and athleticism coming off the bench further solidify how deep Scheyer's squad is ahead of the 2026-27 season. Contact/Follow us...
