&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-kelce&quot;&gt;Travis Kelce&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;and the &lt;strong&gt;Kansas City Chiefs&lt;/strong&gt; experienced all kinds of disappointment in the 2025 &lt;strong&gt;NFL &lt;/strong&gt;season. Following the playoff-elimination loss in Week 15, questions now loom around the star tight end’s future. Many are calling for him to retire, and &lt;strong&gt;Hall of Famer Cris Carter&lt;/strong&gt; is among them.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;He’s done,”&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/em&gt;Carter said about Kelce during an appearance on the &lt;em&gt;Up and Adams Show with Kay Adams. “I see him performing on stages more so than I do on NFL fields.&lt;/em&gt;“&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Carter’s comments come just days after Kelce and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs&quot;&gt;Chiefs&lt;/a&gt; missed the NFL playoffs for the first time since 2014. Although Kelce recorded seven catches for 70 yards against the LA Chargers in Week 15, his performance throughout the year was &lt;strong&gt;mostly flat and underwhelming&lt;/strong&gt;. He managed to make a couple of flashy plays here and there, but the woes essentially overshadowed the highlights.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Kelce’s lost his flair&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;He has no ability to be able to separate all his savviness and everything,” &lt;/em&gt;Carter added.&lt;em&gt; “When you don’t have an elite receiver outside and you don’t have an elite running game, you can’t hide that. When he catches the football, his objective is not to fumble and&lt;strong&gt; he can’t make anybody miss anymore&lt;/strong&gt;.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251216_BUS_546449_travis-kelce-1-2_9639a2f0.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Travis Kelce crestfallen&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-546458&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Travis Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Though the former Vikings wideout didn’t mince words or sugarcoat his thoughts on Kelce’s performance this season, to an extent his statement can be supported by the evidence. &lt;/p&gt;


        

        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/andy-reid-sends-clear-message-to-gardner-minshew-about-chiefs-qb-job-after-patrick-mahomes-injury&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

        


&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Known for his after-the-catch ability, Kelce has regressed&lt;/strong&gt; tremendously in that area of his game. He appears to be missing a gear, which is only reasonable for a 36-year-old player who has been performing at the highest level since entering the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl&quot;&gt;NFL&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Kelce’s story could come full circle&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;If Kelce indeed announces his retirement after the 2025 NFL campaign, he would end things where they started. &lt;strong&gt;Kelce and the Chiefs missed the postseason during his rookie year in 2014&lt;/strong&gt; and could now miss the playoffs again in the tight end’s final season. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Needless to say, this coincidence would only highlight the incredible run Kansas City has been on ever since rolling the dice on a rowdy player out of the University of Cincinnati in the 2013 NFL Draft.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;694189ffe2d53b59fb2f05c7&quot; data-title=&quot;If Kelce retires after this season, who is the best TE in NFL history?&quot; data-options=&quot;5&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aaron Rodgers&lt;/strong&gt;’ arrival in &lt;strong&gt;Pittsburgh&lt;/strong&gt; at this stage of his career had a single goal: to feel vital for the &lt;strong&gt;Steelers&lt;/strong&gt; and return to the playoffs. With &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin&quot;&gt;Mike Tomlin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; leading the squad from the sidelines, that primary objective now seems to be gradually coming to fruition.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;After the big Monday Night Football win over the Dolphins, it looks like the AFC North race is taking shape, even though the Ravens show no signs of slowing down. For now, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers&quot;&gt;Rodgers&lt;/a&gt; feels very comfortable with the franchise and knows that if they keep performing this way, they can keep moving forward.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“If we can take care of business then we’re going to be hosting a game right here,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;he told Lisa Salters on &lt;em&gt;ESPN. “&lt;strong&gt;That’s why I wanted to come back&lt;/strong&gt;, to be part of something special. It’s a great organization, we’re playing meaningful games. We’re up by a game in the division. A lot left to play for.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The last time Rodgers played in a postseason game was with the Green Bay Packers. &lt;strong&gt;Nearing the twilight of his career&lt;/strong&gt;, he’s now just a few games away from returning to the playoffs—and perhaps even dreaming of another &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl&quot;&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/a&gt; run.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251216_BUS_546364_aaron-rodgers-13_ab54df81.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Aaron Rodgers&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-546401&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Aaron Rodgers #8 of the Pittsburgh Steelers.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Playoffs within reach&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Only three games remain for the teams, and many are still vying for a ticket to the upcoming playoffs. The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers&quot;&gt;Pittsburgh Steelers&lt;/a&gt; are among them, and after a strong campaign, they’re closing in on securing their spot.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/afc-standings-and-playoff-picture-updated-after-steelers-dolphins-mnf-in-week-15&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;The Monday Night Football win put the Steelers at an 8-6 record, just ahead of the Ravens at 7-7, and according to the &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nfl.com/standings/playoff-picture&quot;&gt;official NFL site&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;their chances of securing a Wild Card spot now sit at 61%.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h4&gt;AFC North current standings&lt;/h4&gt;



&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Pittsburgh Steelers (8-6)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Baltimore Ravens (7-7)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cincinnati Bengals (4-10)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cleveland Browns (3-11)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;The Steelers’ final stretch&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Pittsburgh Steelers face a critical three-game stretch to close out their season. They must first contend with two tough road matchups: a trip to take on the Detroit Lions and a divisional clash against the Cleveland Browns. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Their final, and most crucial, contest is a &lt;strong&gt;home game versus the rival Baltimore Ravens.&lt;/strong&gt; The Steelers have a chance to secure a playoff berth in this season finale against the Ravens, in what is expected to be a dramatic, winner-take-all showdown.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once again, the&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt; Arizona Cardinals&lt;/a&gt; have been one of the worst teams in the National Football League this season. That has been their status since they appointed&lt;strong&gt; Jonathan Gannon.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;However, the head coach doesn’t want to hear anything about his hot seat rumors. He knows he &lt;strong&gt;hasn’t done a good job,&lt;/strong&gt; yet he continues to shut down those questions.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;That was the case again after his team’s latest debacle against the Houston Texans. When asked about that, he opened up about h&lt;strong&gt;ow much he believes in himself and his team. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Jonathan Gannon shuts down job security questions&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“There’s no pitch. I’m concentrating on Atlanta,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;” Gannon said, per Donnie Druin of Arizona Cardinals On SI. “&lt;em&gt;Your pitch is I believe in myself and I believe in our team. We are at a dip right now, and we’re going through some adversity, but I do believe in us, and we’ll get out of the dip.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251216_BUS_546301_Jonathan-Gannon-1_949666a9.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Jonathan Gannon in 2024&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-353403&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Head coach Jonathan Gannon of the Arizona Cardinals &lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Cardinals have only struggled since Gannon took the reins of the team three years ago, and now that &lt;strong&gt;they can’t blame Kyler Murray&lt;/strong&gt;, there’s simply no way to justify keeping this regime in place.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;This team doesn’t seem to have a clear direction. The Cardinals may not even have a quarterback next season, and it’s &lt;strong&gt;hard to feel encouraged&lt;/strong&gt; about what the future holds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints&quot;&gt; New Orleans Saints&lt;/a&gt; haven’t won many games this season, and, judging by their schedule, chances are that they’re not going to win another one after taking down the &lt;strong&gt;Carolina Panthers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Nevertheless, this season hasn’t been a complete waste in the Big Easy. If anything, Kellen Moore has gotten a chance to evaluate his rookie quarterback: &lt;strong&gt;Tyler Shough&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The rookie out of Louisville has been better than one might assume because of the team’s record. Moreover, he even broke one of&lt;strong&gt; Drew Brees&lt;/strong&gt;‘ marks in the win over Carolina.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Tyler Shough sets Saints rookie record&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;With 110 passing yards today through three quarters, Tyler Shough now has 1,322 passing yards in 2025, setting a new Saints single-season passing record by a rookie QB,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;” the Saints announced.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251216_BUS_546298_tyler-shough_819cadd6.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Tyler Shough #6 of the New Orleans Saints&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-518100&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Tyler Shough #6 of the New Orleans Saints&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Shough has been far from perfect, but he’s been better than the average rookie. Unfortunately for him, the market and his team’s record &lt;strong&gt;don’t do much to help his case.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Even so, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to think that he should be the leading candidate to run away with &lt;strong&gt;Offensive Rookie of the Year &lt;/strong&gt;honors, and the Saints may have found their guy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Carolina Panthers&lt;/a&gt; couldn’t take care of business when it mattered the most. &lt;strong&gt;Dave Canales’&lt;/strong&gt; team had a huge opportunity to stay strong in the divisional race, and they dropped it.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The New Orleans Saints got the best of the Panthers with a game-winning field goal. They were in control of their own destiny after the&lt;strong&gt; Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ &lt;/strong&gt;collapse.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;That’s why ESPN insider David Newton had some big words to say about&lt;strong&gt; Bryce Young.&lt;/strong&gt; Essentially, he blamed the former No. 1 pick for the team’s shortcomings on Sunday. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;ESPN insider says Bryce Young didn’t do enough&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;Bryce Young needed to step up in his biggest December game in the NFL, and he didn’t do quite enough.&lt;/em&gt;” Newton wrote. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“In the end, the quarterback, who went 15-for-24 for 163 yards and 1 touchdown, didn’t do enough.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251216_BUS_546294_bryce-young-2_5eacec81.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Bryce Young&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-519597&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Bryce Young #9 of the Carolina Panthers.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Granted, on the surface, &lt;strong&gt;Young’s numbers are far from impressive,&lt;/strong&gt; and this was a game the Panthers just couldn’t afford to lose. Nevertheless, this was a subpar team effort overall.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Also, the Saints have been much better than their record shows, at least offensively, since &lt;strong&gt;Tyler Shough&lt;/strong&gt; took the reins of the offense, and that’s just how divisional games usually go.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As of the time you’re reading this article, the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;New York Yankees&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; have yet to announce a significant addition to their roster for the upcoming season. They have re-signed Amed Rosario and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-ny-yankees-reportedly-secure-international-player-for-upcoming-season&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;brought in an international player&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, but the much-anticipated rumored signings have not materialized. Naturally, the fanbase has high expectations, eager for a World Series title in 2026.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;According to a report by &lt;em&gt;Chris Kirschner from The Athletic&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;the Yankees are exhibiting “genuine interest” in Luke Weaver&lt;/strong&gt;, who is open to returning. Following an impressive season in 2025, Weaver could become a strategic re-signing for the Yankees as they approach the 2026 &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;MLB&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; season.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In 2024, Weaver posted remarkable stats that played a key role in helping the Yankees reach the World Series. Although the team fell short against the Los Angeles Dodgers, &lt;strong&gt;Weaver’s performance endeared him to the fanbase and forged a special connection.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;With a shift in his 2025 season performance, Weaver’s potential re-signing is met with mixed reactions among fans. However, &lt;strong&gt;the recent report has stirred anticipation regarding the Yankees’ eventual decision.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251216_BUS_546431_GettyImages-2181837110-Bolavip_cd16605e.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Luke Weaver #30 of the New York Yankees&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-264257&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Luke Weaver #30 of the New York Yankees reacts.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Considerations surrounding Weaver’s potential Yankees reunion&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The report highlights the Yankees’ interest in reuniting with the right-handed pitcher. Yet, another source suggests there &lt;strong&gt;might be considerations affecting Weaver’s potential return to the franchise.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/mlb-rumors-ny-yankees-weigh-michael-king-reunion-as-al-east-rivals-intensify-pitching-race&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;MLB insider Bryan Hoch&lt;/em&gt; conveyed insights about Weaver’s situation with the Yankees. He noted, &lt;em&gt;“Never say never, but &lt;strong&gt;Weaver was irked late in the season due to some mechanical adjustments they were pushing on him related to pitch-tipping. &lt;/strong&gt;It seemed like he was overwhelmed with thoughts about various checkpoints instead of just focusing on executing the next pitch.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Is Weaver truly interested in re-joining the Yankees?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Hoch further divulged that Weaver might be contemplating different aspects of his MLB future, saying, &lt;em&gt;“He expressed interest in finding a place where he could attempt being a starter again, akin to Clay Holmes. &lt;strong&gt;If that’s his primary focus, it’s unlikely to be in the Bronx.&lt;/strong&gt;“&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;With the Yankees’ plans for the forthcoming season still up in the air, the fanbase &lt;strong&gt;might be hoping that Weaver can have a more significant impact on the roster&lt;/strong&gt;, as the margin for error narrows for the next season.&lt;/p&gt;

MLB Rumors: NY Yankees reportedly show “genuine interest” in signing a player from last season

MLB Rumors: NY Yankees reportedly show "genuine interest" in signing a player from last season - Bolavip US

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees&quot;&gt;New York Yankees&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;find themselves revisiting familiar territory, facing a decision that could alter the balance of the AL East. As free agency progresses, the possibility of &lt;strong&gt;Michael King&lt;/strong&gt;’s return has quietly surfaced as a storyline rich with history, competition, and timing. According to &lt;em&gt;Greg Joyce&lt;/em&gt; of the &lt;em&gt;New York Post,&lt;/em&gt; the Yankees are &lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;open to&lt;/strong&gt;”&lt;/em&gt; reuniting with King.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Two years after New York sent the right-hander west,&lt;/strong&gt; the market has shifted. King is no longer viewed as a developmental arm, but as a proven starter whose value now draws attention beyond the Bronx, adding pressure to an already delicate offseason for the Yankees’ front office.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That tension has only grown with division rivals watching closely.&lt;/strong&gt; With pitching depth at a premium across the league, the Yankees’ interest in a reunion comes with urgency—and with rivals ready to complicate matters.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Is a Michael King reunion realistic for the Yankees?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Interest in King is not limited to New York. According to report &lt;em&gt;Boston Globe’s Peter Abraham&lt;/em&gt;, the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-orioles&quot;&gt;Baltimore Orioles&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Boston Red Sox&lt;/strong&gt; are also engaged, turning his free agency into a divisional contest. The timing remains uncertain, but the competition alone raises the stakes for all involved.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251216_BUS_546349_king-michael_98e9639c.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-546388&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Michael King #34 of the Padres pitches during the game. Sean M. Haffey/Getty Images&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;New York manager &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-boone&quot;&gt;Aaron Boone&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; spoke highly of his former pitcher during the Winter Meetings, noting, &lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;He’s got obviously great stuff and a great arsenal. &lt;/strong&gt;He’s really smart and has a real good understanding of that stuff. It’s allowed him to evolve as a pitcher, coupled with his confidence.”&lt;/em&gt; Those qualities are precisely what make King appealing across the division.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/mlb-rumors-ny-yankees-face-very-real-risk-of-losing-cody-bellinger-to-despised-rivals&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;What did King become after leaving New York?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Following his trade to the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-diego-padres&quot;&gt;San Diego Padres&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, King completed a successful transition from reliever to full-time starter. Over the 2024–25 regular seasons, he started 45 of 46 games, posting an &lt;strong&gt;18–12 record with a 3.10 ERA and a 1.194 WHIP across 247 innings.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;How does King fit into the Yankees’ current plans?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;General manager &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-cashman&quot;&gt;Brian Cashman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; has kept the door open, acknowledging the organization’s flexibility as it explores roster options. &lt;em&gt;“We are playing around with a lot of different ideas and seeing if it takes us anywhere,”&lt;/em&gt; he said.&lt;/p&gt;

NY Yankees weigh King reunion as AL East rivals intensify pitching race

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;New York Mets&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; have announced some new additions to their roster, and a recent report suggests that other franchises might be watching them closely. The Mets are reportedly considering trading three players this offseason, which could pique the interest of several teams.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;According to &lt;em&gt;Will Sammon of The Athletic&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;the Mets are open to trading Ronny Mauricio, Luisangel Acuna, and Mark Vientos this offseason. &lt;/strong&gt;By placing these names on the trading block, the team is reportedly aiming to acquire a high-profile player in return to strengthen its roster.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;While &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/what-position-will-jorge-polanco-play-with-the-ny-mets-in-2026&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;the Mets have already announced acquisitions like Jorge Polanco this offseason,&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; their fanbase is eagerly anticipating a marquee signing, especially since the team brought in Juan Soto last year with a significant deal.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;With this strategy in mind, the three players could become valuable assets for other franchises, &lt;strong&gt;allowing the Mets to potentially land a big name to complement Soto and the rest of the team.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251216_BUS_546285_Mark-Vientos-celebrating_0dcfdad8.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Mark Vientos #27 of the New York Mets&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-449009&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Mark Vientos #27 of the New York Mets&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What kind of deal can the franchise make with the Mets?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Depending on their needs, franchises can aim to acquire one or possibly two of these players in exchange for a marquee player for the Mets&lt;strong&gt;. Of the three, Vientos has an edge in speed, leading with 17 stolen bases last season.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/former-ny-mets-manager-mickey-callaway-issues-blunt-warning-after-franchise-reset&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;If a franchise aims to enhance its lineup at second and third base, acquiring Acuna and Mauricio could be a strategic move, &lt;strong&gt;potentially leading to significant benefits for the Mets in the upcoming season.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Baty reportedly secures third base&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the situation with the three players involves a contingency plan for the third base position. According to Sammon, Brett Baty appears to be securing that spot. “&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;New York appears willing to give Brett Baty every chance to stick at third base &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;after a solid defensive season and .748 OPS, contributing to a 2.3 fWAR,&lt;/em&gt;” Sammon reported.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Although the outlook doesn’t seem promising for the Mets right now, they are aware of &lt;strong&gt;the negotiations necessary to revitalize the team and bolster its roster effectively.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;69416651e2d53b59fb2f05c1&quot; data-title=&quot;If you were an organization in search of a second or third baseman, which of the following players would you select?&quot; data-options=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

MLB Rumors: NY Mets reportedly identify three players available for offseason trade

MLB Rumors: NY Mets reportedly identify three players available for offseason trade - Bolavip US

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New York Yankees&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; entered the offseason believing they remained firmly positioned to retain &lt;strong&gt;Cody Bellinger&lt;/strong&gt;, a bat viewed internally as a near-ideal complement to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-judge&quot;&gt;Aaron Judge&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; in the middle of the lineup. The market, however, is beginning to shift in ways that could complicate that plan.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Momentum around Bellinger’s free agency changed this week when the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees&quot;&gt;San Francisco Giants&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; emerged as a serious presence. While interest from San Francisco had been hinted at earlier in the winter, new reporting suggests the Giants are no longer a background option but an active contender willing to engage at a high level.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;With elite offensive options thinning rapidly, the Yankees now face a familiar pressure point: deciding how far they are willing to push financially — or whether a pivot is becoming necessary.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Can the Giants disrupt the Yankees’ plans for Bellinger?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Giants’ interest gained traction after &lt;em&gt;Susan Slusser&lt;/em&gt; reported that &lt;strong&gt;San Francisco &lt;/strong&gt;has checked in on &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cody-bellinger&quot;&gt;Bellinger&lt;/a&gt; to address its vacancy in right field. The fit is not subtle. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251216_BUS_546261_bellinger-1-2_ffb9dae9.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-546269&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Cody Bellinger #35 of the New York Yankees reacts after a double. Ishika Samant/Getty Images&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;I don’t know if there was much more that we could do as far as conversations, meetings,”&lt;/em&gt; Giants president of baseball operations &lt;strong&gt;Zack Minasian&lt;/strong&gt; told Slusser.&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; “I feel like some things are heading in the right direction.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/mlb-rumors-ny-yankees-reportedly-rejected-by-all-star-player-from-the-diamondbacks-last-season&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minasian&lt;/strong&gt; confirmed discussions with &lt;strong&gt;Scott Boras&lt;/strong&gt;, though he stopped short of signaling urgency.&lt;em&gt; “It’s tough to handicap when a deal is going to get done, but we try to put our best foot forward, and think we’ve shown &lt;strong&gt;we’re willing to be aggressive, and you know, some things, we’re still working on&lt;/strong&gt;, some things we feel like maybe there’s a path. So we’ll see where it goes.”&lt;/em&gt; Minasian said.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What makes Bellinger such a high-stakes target?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bellinger remains one of the most accomplished hitters on the open market. &lt;/strong&gt;The former NL MVP has produced across multiple environments and finished inside MVP voting as recently as last season, reinforcing his value beyond reputation.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Are the Yankees prepared to pivot if needed?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;While the Yankees are widely viewed as the favorites, Boras has indicated that multiple teams remain involved. If negotiations stall or bidding escalates beyond comfort, New York may be forced to explore alternatives. &lt;strong&gt;Kyle Tucker&lt;/strong&gt; remains available, and general manager &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-cashman&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brian Cashman&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; has historically shown flexibility when leverage shifts.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;69414ba4e2d53b59fb2f05be&quot; data-title=&quot;Where will Cody Bellinger sign this offseason?&quot; data-options=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;The situation is familiar territory for the Yankees, who previously outmaneuvered the Giants to retain Judge. Whether history repeats itself will depend on how aggressively both sides act as the market tightens.&lt;/p&gt;

NY Yankees reportedly confront unexpected competition for star outfielder Bellinger

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets&quot;&gt;New York Mets&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; entered the offseason facing a defining crossroads, choosing to part ways with core figures who once symbolized stability and promise. As roster turnover accelerated, familiar faces such as&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pete-alonso&quot;&gt;Pete Alonso&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Edwin Díaz &lt;/strong&gt;disappeared from Queens, signaling a philosophical reset driven by urgency rather than sentiment.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Few understand the weight of those decisions better than &lt;strong&gt;Mickey Callaway&lt;/strong&gt;, who managed the Mets during a turbulent stretch marked by high expectations and uneven results. From his vantage point, the &lt;strong&gt;recent departures reflect more than payroll math&lt;/strong&gt;—they represent a calculated gamble on culture, leadership, and long-term direction.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Callaway does not dismiss the logic behind the moves&lt;/strong&gt;. However, his perspective carries a clear undertone: bold changes in New York demand immediate justification, especially when they involve dismantling the foundation of recent seasons.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Is the Mets’ front office betting everything on a risky reset?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From Callaway’s view, the organization reached a point where continuity no longer aligned with outcomes.&lt;/strong&gt; The Mets invested heavily in familiar leaders without achieving sustained success, forcing decision-makers to ask uncomfortable questions about stagnation versus renewal.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251216_BUS_546255_mets_48bdafbe.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-546256&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Former manager Mickey Callaway of the New York Mets gives starting pitcher Jason Vargas #44. John Amis/Getty Images&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;At some point, you have to go a different route if things are not working&lt;/strong&gt;,”&lt;/em&gt; Callaway explained, according to The New York Post, emphasizing that the shift appears rooted in accountability rather than impulse. Still, he acknowledged the margin for error is thin in a market where patience rarely exists.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/ny-mets-drama-edwin-diaz-reveals-what-he-told-francisco-lindor-after-choosing-the-dodgers&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;Callaway’s warning resonates louder in New York&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Callaway’s message strikes a chord&lt;/strong&gt; because it reflects the unique pressure of managing—and rebuilding—in Queens. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“It better work,”&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Callaway emphasized, underscoring the reality that every misstep will be magnified. From his experience, New York does not tolerate prolonged transitions without tangible results.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;694167f3e2d53b59fb2f05c2&quot; data-title=&quot;Did the Mets make the right call moving on from their longtime core?&quot; data-options=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;As the Mets continue reshaping their roster, the coming months will determine whether this reset fuels momentum or deepens scrutiny. One thing is clear: the verdict will arrive quickly, and the stakes could not be higher.&lt;/p&gt;

Former NY Mets manager Callaway issues blunt warning after franchise reset

&lt;p&gt;The global soccer spotlight shifted decisively to Zurich as &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ousmane-dembele&quot;&gt;Ousmane Dembele&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, representing &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/paris-saint-germain&quot;&gt;Paris Saint-Germain&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, was named the winner of the &lt;strong&gt;FIFA The Best 2025&lt;/strong&gt; award. The announcement crowned a season defined by elite performances, decisive moments, and sustained excellence at the highest level of the sport.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;For &lt;strong&gt;Dembele&lt;/strong&gt;, the recognition represents a milestone that reshapes his standing within modern soccer. Across domestic and international competitions, his influence extended beyond statistics, marked by leadership in decisive matches and consistency under pressure, elements that ultimately resonated with voters worldwide.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Yet individual glory at this level inevitably invites broader perspective. With this victory, Dembele enters a selective group of soccer’s elite, immediately drawing comparisons to the benchmark figures of the award’s history: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi&quot;&gt;Lionel Messi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Cristiano Ronaldo&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;How does Ousmane Dembele’s The Best triumph compare historically?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Winning &lt;strong&gt;The Best&lt;/strong&gt; places &lt;strong&gt;Ousmane Dembele among an exclusive class of players whose seasons transcended team success alone&lt;/strong&gt;. While the award reflects a single campaign, its historical weight often frames careers and shapes long-term legacy discussions.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251216_BUS_546418_dembele_60afc537.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-546504&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Ousmane Dembele #10 of Paris Saint-Germain wins FIFA The Best 2025 . Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;As debates emerge, the achievement underscores how rare such recognition remains—and how difficult it is to consistently reach the level once normalized by soccer’s most dominant figures.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/soccer/2026-finalissima-argentina-vs-spain-reportedly-has-date-and-venue-set-before-world-cup&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;How many FIFA The Best awards does Lionel Messi have?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Messi&lt;/strong&gt; has claimed &lt;strong&gt;three FIFA The Best awards&lt;/strong&gt; (2019, 2022, 2023), reinforcing his enduring influence across different stages of his career and solidifying his place in soccer history.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;How many FIFA The Best awards does Cristiano Ronaldo have?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo&quot;&gt;Cristiano Ronaldo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; won &lt;strong&gt;two FIFA The Best awards&lt;/strong&gt; (2016, 2017), both during his peak years at &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid&quot;&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, highlighting a period when his individual dominance aligned seamlessly with team success.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;69417be1e2d53b59fb2f05c5&quot; data-title=&quot;Does the FIFA The Best 2025 winner now rival Messi and Ronaldo?&quot; data-options=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;As the conversation around &lt;strong&gt;Dembele&lt;/strong&gt; continues to evolve, his 2025 triumph now stands as a defining reference point—one that will shape comparisons, expectations, and legacy discussions for years to come.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While the MLS is on break, European leagues continue full throttle. Even so, many are already speculating about potential moves in the near future, with one of the most intriguing being &lt;strong&gt;Barcelona&lt;/strong&gt; striker &lt;strong&gt;Robert Lewandowski&lt;/strong&gt; potentially joining &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi&quot;&gt;Lionel Messi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;’s &lt;strong&gt;Inter Miami&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The explosive news was revealed by former Polish national team player Marek Jóźwiak during a recent appearance on &lt;em&gt;Moc Futbolu&lt;/em&gt;. He hinted that &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami&quot;&gt;Inter&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;is reportedly looking for a home for him and his family in Miami&lt;/strong&gt;, suggesting a potential move.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Inter Miami –&lt;strong&gt; they were looking for a home for Robert Lewandowski. &lt;/strong&gt;I received a message from someone who is very knowledgeable about these matters,” &lt;/em&gt;Jóźwiak revealed.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Although Lewandowski is currently competing with his team in La Liga, &lt;strong&gt;his contract with &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona&quot;&gt;Barcelona&lt;/a&gt; runs through mid-2026&lt;/strong&gt;, making it plausible that he could be looking for a new destination.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251216_BUS_546429_lionel-messi-robert-lewandowski-1_12e98ce4.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Robert Lewandowski with Lionel Messi&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-546465&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Lionel Messi of Argentina is challenged by Robert Lewandowski of Poland.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Lewandowski’s numbers at Barcelona&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Since his arrival at FC Barcelona in 2022, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/robert-lewandowski&quot;&gt;Robert Lewandowski&lt;/a&gt; has established himself as the club’s offensive focal point, delivering elite production through the 2025 season. Across 177 appearances, the prolific Polish striker has netted an impressive 112 goals, maintaining his status as one of Europe’s top finishers. &lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/soccer/lionel-messi-inter-miami-welcome-former-real-madrid-player-to-replace-jordi-alba&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;His contributions have been instrumental in securing silverware for the Catalan giants, including two La Liga titles, one Copa del Rey, and two Spanish Super Cup trophies, cementing his successful tenure at the club.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;A replacement for Luis Suarez?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The acquisition of Robert Lewandowski would provide Inter Miami with a proven, elite goal-scorer, offering a potential solution to a major roster question. His arrival &lt;strong&gt;could effectively mitigate the potential departure of &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luis-suarez&quot;&gt;Luis Suarez&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, whose future with The Herons remains unconfirmed. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Lewandowski’s consistent world-class production ensures that if Suarez moves on, &lt;strong&gt;the team will immediately fill that pivotal No. 9 role with another legendary striker.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Messi and Lewandowski’s infamous beef&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;During the 2022 Qatar World Cup&lt;/strong&gt; group stage match between Argentina and Poland, a highly publicized, &lt;strong&gt;spicy encounter occurred between Messi and Lewandowski.&lt;/strong&gt; The tension stemmed from controversial comments Lewandowski made following the 2021 Ballon d’Or ceremony, which was ultimately won by Messi. This off-field drama spilled onto the pitch, manifesting in a notable, terse moment between the two star players during their group stage clash.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Eventually, Messi and Lewandowski made amends. During the 2023 Laureus World Sports Awards, shortly after the Pole star joined Barcelona, both players were seen together, with the Argentine star later &lt;strong&gt;revealing he shared advice for Lewy on life in the Spanish city and the Blaugrana club.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo&quot;&gt;Cristiano Ronaldo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; has felt a deep sense of connection with &lt;strong&gt;Al Nassr&lt;/strong&gt; since his arrival, and his mindset remains focused on continuing to grow alongside the club despite being in the final years of his professional career. His commitment reflects a long-term vision that goes beyond immediate sporting success.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;That vision now extends into a broader institutional role. &lt;strong&gt;The Saudi club is moving forward with the largest privatization project in its history&lt;/strong&gt;, with Ronaldo emerging as a central figure by joining the process as a strategic partner with direct influence on the club’s future.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;According to 365Scores, Ronaldo is in the process of &lt;strong&gt;acquiring a 15% stake in Al Nassr, a deal valued at up to £50 million&lt;/strong&gt;. This positions him not only as the face of the team on the field, but also as a key actor in the club’s financial and organizational development.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The privatization initiative marks a clear turning point for &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/al-nassr&quot;&gt;Al Nassr&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Ronaldo’s involvement as a shareholder strengthens the club’s financial transformation&lt;/strong&gt; and aligns it with a new investment-driven identity ahead of the upcoming season.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; data-id=&quot;533863&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251215_BUS_546056_ronaldo_d8c49710.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Cristiano Ronaldo&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-533863&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Cristiano Ronaldo of team Al-Nassr FC during the Saudi Pro League match.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;By securing a 15% ownership stake, the Portuguese star &lt;strong&gt;moves to the center of a new management model&lt;/strong&gt;. From this position, he takes part in the &lt;strong&gt;sporting, commercial, and global growth&lt;/strong&gt; of the institution, reinforcing his influence beyond matchday performances.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;The magnitude of the project&lt;/h2&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/soccer/euro-2016-champion-with-cristiano-ronaldo-portugal-announces-retirement-at-37&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

        

        


&lt;p&gt;The financial scale of the operation illustrates its significance. A 15% equity stake &lt;strong&gt;valued at approximately £50 million translates to nearly $66 million&lt;/strong&gt;, underscoring the scope of the privatization effort with Cristiano Ronaldo serving as a strategic partner.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;This move consolidates &lt;strong&gt;Al Nassr as one of the most ambitious clubs in Saudi &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer&quot;&gt;soccer&lt;/a&gt; in terms of investment and international projection&lt;/strong&gt;, strengthening its standing within an increasingly competitive regional environment.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Al Nassr with a revolutionary change&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Privatization represents a profound economic shift for the club. Ronaldo’s presence enhances the Al Nassr brand globally and redefines its positioning &lt;strong&gt;as an attractive institution for major investments&lt;/strong&gt;, while the club works to build a modern and competitive structure aligned with the sustained growth of the Saudi Pro League.&lt;/p&gt;

SOCCER

&lt;p&gt;Missing a team meeting is not a move met nicely by some coaches and that’s the case for &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-sullivan&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Mike Sullivan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. After not attending one of those meetings, the &lt;strong&gt;New York Rangers&lt;/strong&gt; coach decided to take disciplinary actions against a huge name on the roster where &lt;strong&gt;JT Miller&lt;/strong&gt; also plays.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;According to Vince Mercogliano of The Athletic, &lt;strong&gt;Mika Zibanejad won’t play tonight&lt;/strong&gt;. Mike Sullivan also opened up about it. “&lt;em&gt;There are logistical challenges the city presents”&lt;/em&gt; that caused Zibanejad’s lateness, Sullivan said. He then added, “&lt;em&gt;Mika understands the importance of the rules that we all expect of one another&lt;/em&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Sullivan said &lt;strong&gt;Zibanejad “&lt;em&gt;feels terribly. The one thing about Mika is he’s an honest person. He’s a great human being and he takes responsibility for it&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.” As long as we know, one game will be enough for Mika to learn not to skip &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-rangers&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Rangers&lt;/a&gt; meetings.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Will this affect the Rangers?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Not counting with Zibanejad is of course a hit to the team. He has played 33 games and scored 25 points so far this season. The Swedish star is the third-best scorer on the Rangers. &lt;strong&gt;In fact, he has scored five more points than &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jt-miller&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;JT Miller&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251215_BUS_545932_mika-zibanejad_bbc0b3fe.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Mika Zibanejad #93 of the New York Rangers&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-419866&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Mika Zibanejad #93 of the New York Rangers&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In the last five games, Zibanejad has scored five points. He has been great lately even if the team is 2-3 in that span, &lt;strong&gt;although three of those games were overtime matches. Two of those were losses.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nhl/players-with-the-most-assists-in-a-single-season&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;The excuse of transportation is not that credible&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;If the Swede was new to the city or country, one could understand the “&lt;em&gt;logistical challenges&lt;/em&gt;” the city presents. However, &lt;strong&gt;Zibanejad has played for the Rangers since 2016&lt;/strong&gt;. It’s been a decade where he’s known every single place in New York City.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Besides, no other player on the roster was late, so it’s a tough one to believe. &lt;strong&gt;Mike Sullivan did show, however, he won’t take lightly any sign of uncommittment to the team.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nhl&quot;&gt;NHL&lt;/a&gt; seasons&lt;/strong&gt; stop feeling normal by midwinter. One player keeps showing up on the scoresheet, night after night, turning points into routine and making the pace of production impossible to ignore.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The league has seen eras of wide-open ice and tighter systems, yet a few campaigns broke through context. These weren’t just hot streaks, but sustained runs that bent expectations over months.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Those &lt;strong&gt;record-setting point&lt;/strong&gt; totals still anchor conversations about offense. They mark moments when talent, opportunity and timing aligned to produce seasons that refused to slow down.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Who is the player with the most points in a single season?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Way back in the mid-1980s, the NHL wasn’t just a league of high scoring, it was a stage for the most astonishing individual offensive output in the sport’s history. In the 1985–86 season, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/wayne-gretzky&quot;&gt;Wayne Gretzky&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; etched his name into the record books by piling up an unprecedented 215 points across the regular campaign.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251215_BUS_545927_Wayne-Gretzky-1-1_e2e0bd6e.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-545934&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Wayne Gretzky (Source: Codie McLachlan/Getty Images)&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;His feat came as part of a string of dominant years for the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/edmonton-oilers&quot;&gt;Edmonton Oilers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. That singular season saw him combine 52 goals with 163 assists, setting a benchmark that has proven nearly untouchable for decades. His ability to influence the game at both ends of the ice redefined what a “great offensive season” looked like in professional hockey.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Decades later, his 215-point season remains a towering milestone in NHL lore. While modern stars like &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/connor-mcdavid&quot;&gt;Connor McDavid&lt;/a&gt; have put up staggering numbers, the gap between those totals and his record illustrates just how singular that historic campaign was.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-table is-style-stripes&quot;&gt;&lt;table&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Player&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Team&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Season&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Points&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Wayne Gretzky&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Edmonton Oilers&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1985-86&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;215&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Wayne Gretzky&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Edmonton Oilers&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1981-82&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;212&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Wayne Gretzky&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Edmonton Oilers&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1984-85&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;208&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Wayne Gretzky&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Edmonton Oilers&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1983-84&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;205&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Mario Lemieux&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Pittsburgh Penguins&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1988-89&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;199&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Wayne Gretzky&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Edmonton Oilers&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1982-83&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;196&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Wayne Gretzky&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Edmonton Oilers&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1986-87&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;183&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Wayne Gretzky&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Los Angeles Kings&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1988-89&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;168&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Mario Lemieux&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Pittsburgh Penguins&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1987-88&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;168&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Wayne Gretzky&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Edmonton Oilers&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1980-81&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;164&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Wayne Gretzky&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Los Angeles Kings&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1990-91&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;163&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Mario Lemieux&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Pittsburgh Penguins&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1995-96&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;161&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Mario Lemieux&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Pittsburgh Penguins&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1992-93&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;160&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Steve Yzerman&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Detroit Red Wings&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1988-89&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;155&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Connor McDavid&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Edmonton Oilers&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;2022-23&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;153&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Phil Esposito&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Boston Bruins&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1970-71&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;152&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Bernie Nicholls&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Los Angeles Kings&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1988-89&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;150&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Jaromir Jagr&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Pittsburgh Penguins&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1995-96&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;149&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Wayne Gretzky&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Edmonton Oilers&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1987-88&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;149&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Pat LaFontaine&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Buffalo Sabres&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1992-93&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;148&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Mike Bossy&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;New York Islanders&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1981-82&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;147&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Phil Esposito&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Boston Bruins&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1973-74&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;145&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Nikita Kucherov&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Tampa Bay Lightning&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;2023-24&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;144&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Adam Oates&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Boston Bruins&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1992-93&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;142&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Wayne Gretzky&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Los Angeles Kings&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1989-90&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;142&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;(Source: Statmuse)&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nhl.com/blackhawks/news/release-blackhawks-place-connor-bedard-on-injured-reserve&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Blackhawks communications team&lt;/a&gt; announced that they recalled both defenseman Ethan Del Mastro and goaltender Laurent Brossoit from the Rockford IceHogs&lt;/strong&gt;, which play in the American Hockey League.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;While not replacements for Bedard, the team needed to make some moves. &lt;strong&gt;Del Mastro has one game for the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-blackhawks&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Blackhawks&lt;/a&gt; this season&lt;/strong&gt;. For the IceHogs, Del Mastro has scored 11 points in 27 games. As for Brossoit, he has a .900 save percentage and 3.39 goals-against average in three games with Rockford.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;The Maple Leafs will be a tough challenge&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;With no Bedard, &lt;strong&gt;the Blackhawks will face the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-maple-leafs&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Maple Leafs&lt;/a&gt; who do have Auston Matthews ready to go&lt;/strong&gt;. Matthews has played in 26 games this season, scoring 21 points in the process.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251215_BUS_545856_auston-matthews-2-1_cd7b5bad.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Auston Matthews #34 of the Toronto Maple Leafs&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-513391&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Auston Matthews #34 of the Toronto Maple Leafs&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;It’s going to be a tough task for the Blackhawks to beat Toronto without Bedard, who is undoubtedly the team’s biggest star. &lt;strong&gt;Chicago has two straight losses and has lost four of the last five games.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nhl/players-with-the-most-assists-in-a-single-season&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;The Maple Leafs are also on a bad spell&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Toronto is not having the best of days either. &lt;strong&gt;The Maple Leafs have lost three of the last four games&lt;/strong&gt;. Hence, they are also needing to bounce back from this bad spell.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nhl&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;NHL&lt;/a&gt; is a league where streaks matter and this is not the first bad streak the Maple Leafs have had this season. In early November, &lt;strong&gt;they lost five straight, including one against the Blackhawks.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Playing for the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-rangers&quot;&gt;New York Rangers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; isn’t for everyone. Although &lt;strong&gt;Chris Kreider&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Jacob Trouba&lt;/strong&gt; did a phenomenal job in The Big Apple, they still appreciate the fresh scenery brought by their moves to the &lt;strong&gt;Anaheim Ducks&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Being an &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nhl&quot;&gt;NHL&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; player in New York City is a completely different experience than being one in Anaheim. Kreider and Trouba found out just that during the 2025-26 campaign. Both saw their time with the Broadway Blueshirts &lt;strong&gt;come to an abrupt end when being traded to the Ducks&lt;/strong&gt;. Nobody expected Anaheim to compete this season, yet somehow someway, the Ducks are currently sitting in a playoff spot.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;As the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/anaheim-ducks&quot;&gt;Ducks&lt;/a&gt; head East to take on the Rangers at the Madison Square Garden, Kreider and Trouba were asked about their NHL background. On that note, Kreider dropped a sincere admission on &lt;strong&gt;Trouba’s rebirthing in Orange County&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Kreider comments on Trouba&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Last year’s kind of a blur. The difference? &lt;strong&gt;[Trouba] doesn’t have the weight of the world on his shoulders,”&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/em&gt;Kreider stated on Trouba, via&lt;em&gt; The Orange County Register. “It’s an incredibly hard thing to be the captain in that city. It’s an incredible honor. There’s a lot of responsibility that goes along with that. And I think being able to come out here and just &lt;strong&gt;play without worrying about some of those things&lt;/strong&gt; might make it a little bit easier.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251215_BUS_545594_Jacob-Trouba-8-of-the-New-York-Rangers-is-escorted-off-the-ice-following-his-second-period-fight-wi_f17faebe.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Jacob Trouba #8 of the New York Rangers is escorted off the ice following his second period fight with Dillon Dube #29 of the Calgary Flames at Madison Square Garden on February 06, 2023 in New York City.&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-288910&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Jacob Trouba playing for the New York Rangers&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Since being traded to Anaheim on Dec. 6, 2024, Trouba has appeared in 85 games, registering &lt;strong&gt;6 goals, 15 assists, and 21 points&lt;/strong&gt;. His production has truly improved in the 2025-26 NHL campaign. Last season, the former Rangers’ captain was still being affected by the &lt;strong&gt;psychological factors behind such a sudden change.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;In the blink of an eye, Trouba went from being a captain in Manhattan to being the new guy in a locker room more than 2,700 miles away in Anaheim.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#20230316#BUS#216761&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;Trouba’s statement&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Though Trouba never expected the organization he captained to ship him away in such a fashion, there were signs indicating a rift between the front office and the captain. Kreider’s trade came as bigger surprise. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;We’re having fun on the ice and smiling, I just think &lt;strong&gt;we’re a little more relaxed&lt;/strong&gt; being out of the pressure or whatever you want to call it,” &lt;/em&gt;Jacob Trouba admitted about the former Rangers on the Ducks. &lt;em&gt;“We’re just &lt;strong&gt;having a lot more fun&lt;/strong&gt;.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Despite boasting the &lt;strong&gt;third-most goals in Rangers history (326&lt;/strong&gt;), Kreider was traded in the offseason with two seasons left on his seven-year, $45.5 million deal. Still, it wasn’t the worst thing in the world as Kreider joined former teammates Trouba and Frank Vatrano. Now, the chemistry is paying off, and the Ducks hope to prove it as they &lt;strong&gt;take on several familiar faces in New York City&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brad-marchand&quot;&gt;Brad Marchand&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; didn’t mince words in a heated exchange with one former teammate in the &lt;strong&gt;NHL&lt;/strong&gt;. During the &lt;strong&gt;Florida Panthers&lt;/strong&gt;’ statement 4-0 victory over the &lt;strong&gt;Dallas Stars&lt;/strong&gt;, the veteran forward showed his true thoughts on a player he won the &lt;strong&gt;Stanley Cup&lt;/strong&gt; with in 2011.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In many ways, &lt;strong&gt;Tyler Seguin&lt;/strong&gt; and Brad Marchand’s style of play show much resemblance. Perhaps, it’s the fact both were drafted and molded early in their careers by the&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-bruins&quot;&gt;Boston Bruins&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. The two were a part of the Stanley Cup-winning roster in Beantown in the 2010-11 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nhl&quot;&gt;NHL&lt;/a&gt; season. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;However, it looks like all love has now been lost between the two veterans. That was made clear after reports emerged of what Marchand said to Seguin during the game at the American Airlines Center in &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-stars&quot;&gt;Dallas&lt;/a&gt;, Texas. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Feels like yesterday when you came into the league a little baby boy. &lt;strong&gt;You still act like a baby boy&lt;/strong&gt;,” &lt;/em&gt;Marchand told Seguin, as reported by&lt;em&gt; The Dallas Morning News’ &lt;/em&gt;Lia Assimakopoulos on X.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251214_BUS_545253_tyler-seguin_cb5b8b0e.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-545274&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Tyler Seguin during his time with the Bruins&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Back on track&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/florida-panthers&quot;&gt;Panthers&lt;/a&gt; desperately needed to turn the page&lt;/strong&gt; after losing in embarrassing fashion to the Colorado Avalanche. Suffice to say, defeating Dallas 4-0 on the road provided just what Florida hoped—and more. &lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nhl/brad-marchand-net-worth&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;Though it’s been far from an ideal season, the Panthers have now won four of their last five outings. They will hope to ride the wave of momentum as &lt;strong&gt;the Cats return to the Sunshine State&lt;/strong&gt;, but to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning at Benchmark International Arena in the Big Guava.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Florida must turn the tide, though. The Panthers have struggled against the Atlantic Division so far in the 2025-26 NHL campaign, &lt;strong&gt;recording a 2-4-0 mark&lt;/strong&gt; against divisional foes. Moreover, the Bolts defeated the Cats 3-1 in the first ‘Battle of Florida’ of the season. In more ways than one, the reigning Stanley Cup champions &lt;strong&gt;have some ground to make up.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

NCAAF quarterbacks with the most passing yards in a single season: Record-breaking performances - Bolavip US

&lt;p&gt;One of the major storylines of the &lt;strong&gt;college football&lt;/strong&gt; slate was &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/college-football/dj-lagway-reportedly-makes-drastic-decision-on-florida-gators-future&quot;&gt;DJ Lagway’s drastic decision regarding his future in 2026.&lt;/a&gt; The &lt;strong&gt;Florida Gators&lt;/strong&gt; quarterback will enter the Transfer Portal, with three programs already surfacing as potential destinations to secure his services.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;According to a report from &lt;em&gt;On3&lt;/em&gt; via its X account, &lt;strong&gt;Baylor, LSU, and Miami are three programs closely monitoring the QB’s situation.&lt;/strong&gt; Whichever school lands Lagway will undoubtedly be adding proven talent and valuable experience to its roster.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;While several programs would welcome the chance to bolster such a crucial position, the three previously mentioned schools appear to be the frontrunners with the strongest odds of landing Lagway.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Lagway had hoped to remain in Gainesville&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The decision to enter the Transfer Portal and seek a fresh start ahead of the upcoming &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/college-football&quot;&gt;college football&lt;/a&gt; season &lt;strong&gt;was not an easy one for Lagway&lt;/strong&gt;. According to &lt;em&gt;CBS Sports&lt;/em&gt; reporter Chris Hummer, the quarterback &lt;strong&gt;wanted to remain in Gainesville&lt;/strong&gt; despite the coaching change.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251216_BUS_546278_dj-lagway-8_d63069ef.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;DJ Lagway&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-502829&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;DJ Lagway #2 of the Florida Gators.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Even with the coaching change and a tough season, Lagway wanted to remain in Gainesville,”&lt;/em&gt; Hummer reported. &lt;em&gt;“He picked the Gators for a reason: He loved the school, he loved the environment. &lt;strong&gt;The parting happened somewhat suddenly&lt;/strong&gt;.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/college-football/programs-with-no-playoff-appearances&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;It’s worth noting that, prior to the end of this season, &lt;strong&gt;Billy Napier was dismissed from his position as head coach. In his place, the front office decided to hire Jon Sumrall&lt;/strong&gt;, who seems to have no plans for Lagway moving forward.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Lagway’s numbers with the Gators&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/florida-gators&quot;&gt;Florida Gators&lt;/a&gt; quarterback DJ Lagway put up some significant numbers in his time, showcasing both his high ceiling and areas for development. Lagway concluded his tenure &lt;strong&gt;having amassed 4,179 passing yards&lt;/strong&gt;, a substantial total that demonstrates his ability to move the ball down the field. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;He was responsible for 28 passing touchdowns, a strong indicator of his scoring potential. However, the season also highlighted some volatility, as he threw 23 interceptions and was sacked 32 times, pointing to the need for greater ball security and improved offensive line protection at the next level.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;694165f6e2d53b59fb2f05c0&quot; data-title=&quot;Which team should be DJ Lagway’s next destination?&quot; data-options=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The similarities between &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dylan-raiola&quot;&gt;Dylan Raiola&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Patrick Mahomes&lt;/strong&gt; are impossible to overlook. Though some may argue the &lt;strong&gt;Nebraska Cornhuskers&lt;/strong&gt; quarterback has used them to his advantage, reports now state he won’t follow his role model’s steps in his next chapter in &lt;strong&gt;college football&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;After a disheartening &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa&quot;&gt;NCAA&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;season with the Cornhuskers, Raiola has decided to step away from the program in Lincoln. The 20-year-old quarterback has entered the transfer portal and a decision on his next school is looming. While &lt;strong&gt;many believed Mahomes’ college football career would play a role&lt;/strong&gt; in Raiola’s verdict, a report states otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;According to insider Pete Nakos and &lt;em&gt;On3 Sports&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-tech&quot;&gt;Texas Tech Red Raiders&lt;/a&gt; won’t be a factor in Raiola’s transfer portal decision&lt;/strong&gt;. Still, several users across social media aren’t buying the report, believing the Nebraska transfer will vie to enroll at &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes&quot;&gt;Mahomes&lt;/a&gt;’ alma mater. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;After Mahomes suffered a torn ACL in Week 15 of the NFL season, the coincidences didn’t end with their similar haircuts, facial hair, or even the same pregame routine. Now, &lt;strong&gt;both Mahomes and Raiola’s years have been cut short by season-ending injuries&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251215_BUS_546083_patrick-mahomes-11_9c2bc22d.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Patrick Mahomes Kansas City Chiefs&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-540682&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Raiola’s time at Nebraska&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Raiola enrolled in 2024 as a five-star recruit out of Buford, Georgia. Though the Cornhuskers were coming off disappointing seasons in the Big Ten, head coach Matt Rhule’s second year along with Raiola’s arrival &lt;strong&gt;created high expectations for the school in Lincoln. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/andy-reid-provides-further-updates-on-patrick-mahomes-after-season-ending-injury-with-chiefs&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;To an extent, those expectations were met as the freshman quarterback led the Huskers to their &lt;strong&gt;first winning season in seven years&lt;/strong&gt;. Moreover, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nebraska&quot;&gt;Nebraska&lt;/a&gt; won its first bowl game since 2015. The 2025 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/college-football&quot;&gt;college football&lt;/a&gt; season wasn’t necessarily a disappointment, but it wasn’t ideal, either. The Huskers secured bowl eligibility—they will be competing on New Year’s Eve in the Las Vegas Bowl against the No. 15 Utah Utes. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Raiola has been &lt;strong&gt;out for the season after breaking his right-leg fibula&lt;/strong&gt; in November. Now, the quarterback confirmed he won’t even be with the team as he steps into the portal.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Raiola’s numbers&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;After spending two years with the Cornhuskers, Raiola is now headed for the exit door. He leaves behind a bittersweet taste on everyone’s mouths. Raiola appeared in 22 games, registering 456 completions for 4,819 passing yards, 31 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. Lastly, &lt;strong&gt;he walks away with a 13-9 record (0-5 against ranked teams).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;69408693e2d53b59fb2f05b0&quot; data-title=&quot;Where would you like Raiola to transfer?&quot; data-options=&quot;6&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/florida-gators&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Florida Gators&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; were on the edge after the season ended. Their quarterback, &lt;strong&gt;DJ Lagway&lt;/strong&gt;, was thinking about entering the NCAA transfer portal while the team hoped he would stay. Now, the decision has been made.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;According to Pete Thamel of ESPN, &lt;strong&gt;DJ Lagway will indeed enter the NCAA transfer portal&lt;/strong&gt;. The quarterback just posted on his social media pages the decision in a heartfelt post. “&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;After much prayer, reflection, and thoughtful consideration, I have decided to enter the transfer portal&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;,” Lagway said.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Lagway is a former top 10 recruit and &lt;strong&gt;ESPN classified him as the number one dual-threat quarterback in the class of 2024&lt;/strong&gt;. He is a very interesting prospect and he is now looking to step up into another program.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Lagway is looking to revamp his college career pre-draft&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Lagway is entering his third year in College, hence he will be eligible to go to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;NFL&lt;/a&gt; Draft after next season. For Florida, Lagway posted a 63.2% of passes completed for 2,264 yards, &lt;strong&gt;16 touchdowns and a conference-leading 14 interceptions in 2024. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-embed__wrapper&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;ck-twitter&quot;&gt;&lt;blockquote class=&quot;twitter-tweet&quot; data-width=&quot;500&quot; data-dnt=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;p lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Thank you Gainesville ❤️ &lt;a href=&quot;https://t.co/sHszSUTslW&quot;&gt;pic.twitter.com/sHszSUTslW&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— LAG ✞ (@DerekLagway) &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/DerekLagway/status/2000581721926848579?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;December 15, 2025&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script async=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Those are not numbers to wow at, but &lt;strong&gt;the potential Lagway has is still good enough for a big program to try and develop him&lt;/strong&gt;. In the end, if Lagway’s new team has a great offensive scheme, he could become one of the most lethal weapons in football.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/college-football/fernando-mendoza-named-the-2025-heisman-trophy-winner-capping-a-dominant-year&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;Which big programs could land Lagway?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;According to Marissa Myers of TWSN, Lagway will make a decision on different factors, including how the coaching changes might influence his future and &lt;strong&gt;chance of development as well as help him reach his NFL aspirations&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Considering that, Myers says the teams that could land Lagway’s talents are the following:&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Florida State Seminoles&lt;/strong&gt;: Thomas Castellanos is in his final year of eligibility, Lagway could be his successor.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LSU Tigers&lt;/strong&gt;: With the arrival of Lane Kiffin and Garrett Nussmeier’s time with LSU coming to an end, Lagway could be the solution.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tennessee Volunteers&lt;/strong&gt;: If Joey Aguilar enters the 2026 NFL Draft, this could be a great landing spot for Lagway, as HC Josh Heupel has a track record in quarterback developing.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Miami Hurricanes&lt;/strong&gt;: A team that has a history of using transfer portal QBs.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Texas A&amp;amp;M Aggies&lt;/strong&gt;: The team has been previously linked with Lagway.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Texas Tech Red Raiders&lt;/strong&gt;: The Raiders tried to recruit Lagway out of high school. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets&lt;/strong&gt;: Also showed interest in Lagway coming out of high school.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Recent speculation linking &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/alabama&quot;&gt;Alabama&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; head coach &lt;strong&gt;Kalen DeBoe&lt;/strong&gt;r to&lt;strong&gt; Michigan&lt;/strong&gt; has forced &lt;strong&gt;clarity at a pivotal moment of the season. &lt;/strong&gt;Without naming destinations or entertaining hypotheticals, DeBoer’s statement read as a controlled response to the growing noise.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“My family and I are very happy in Tuscaloosa and &lt;strong&gt;remain extremely grateful for the support of President Mohler,&lt;/strong&gt; Greg Byrne, the board and so many others. We have an incredible opportunity in front of us,&lt;strong&gt; so my sole focus is on Alabama Football &lt;/strong&gt;and our preparations to play Oklahoma in the College Football Playoff.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“I have not spoken and have no interest in speaking with anyone else about any other job.&lt;strong&gt; I am fully committed &lt;/strong&gt;to this program and look forward to continuing as the Head Football Coach at the University of Alabama.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;DeBoer shuts down rumors&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kalen-deboer&quot;&gt;DeBoer&lt;/a&gt; redirected attention back to Tuscaloosa and the task in front of his team. By stressing commitment and focus, he appeared to &lt;strong&gt;draw a line between outside interest and internal priorities&lt;/strong&gt;, signaling that any chatter about his future elsewhere is, at least for now, not part of his thinking.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;div class=&quot;ck-twitter&quot;&gt;&lt;blockquote class=&quot;twitter-tweet&quot; data-media-max-width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;p lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Really happy with the job Kalen DeBoer is doing here in Alabama. Only thing I want him to take a control over is this offense. Other than that. Can’t wait to see what happens next with the &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/hashtag/DeBoerEra?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;#DeBoerEra&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://t.co/AjKLPUMORd&quot;&gt;pic.twitter.com/AjKLPUMORd&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— tc (@Goat_Latia) &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/Goat_Latia/status/1999674421209104657?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;December 13, 2025&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The situation at Michigan is quite difficult; it’s a major program that currently lacks a&lt;strong&gt; “strong” head coach.&lt;/strong&gt; They only have Biff Poggi as an interim, who knows the program from the inside, but it is not certain he will be the head coach next season.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, DeBoer is quite comfortable with a &lt;strong&gt;$10.25 million salary at Alabama&lt;/strong&gt;. At Michigan, they were paying Moore $6 million before his departure. The Crimson Tide head coach should not risk losing a contract that secures his future until 2031.&lt;/p&gt;
