&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_bb1ffe6a.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. They may not even have a quarterback next season, and it’s &lt;strong&gt;hard to feel encourage&lt;/strong&gt;d 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;

Tyler Shough made NFL history in win over Panthers

&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 them 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_a09a17d4.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;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots&quot;&gt;New England Patriots&lt;/a&gt; couldn’t get the job done on Sunday. They depended on themselves to secure the&lt;strong&gt; AFC East &lt;/strong&gt;division, and they were dominating the Buffalo Bills in the first half.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Then,&lt;strong&gt; Josh Allen &lt;/strong&gt;put on the Superman cape to take care of business on his own hands. He had one of the best games of his career, rallying from behind to secure an epic comeback win.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Nevertheless, it seems like he may have had some help from the officials. At least, that’s how Patriots coach &lt;strong&gt;Mike Vrabel &lt;/strong&gt;seemed to hint in an appearance on The Greg Hill Show.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Mike Vrabel calls out the referees&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;It is a difficult job, they do have a difficult job,”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Vrabel said. “&lt;em&gt;The consistency… Sometimes I struggle with it. I’ll say this: the Bills lead the NFL in offensive holds, and I’ll leave it at that. And that would be hard for me to understand how the team that is coming into the game leading, and that’s how they play, didn’t have one yesterday. That’s hard for me to understand.”&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_546290_Mike-Vrabel-looks-on_920874e9.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Head coach Mike Vrabel of the New England Patriots&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-492094&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Head coach Mike Vrabel of the New England Patriots &lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;That makes sense to a degree. Even if the Bills &lt;strong&gt;got away with a couple of holds, &lt;/strong&gt;the Patriots should’ve never put themselves in a position to be affected by the officials.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;They were in control of the game and should’ve won without many issues, all things considered. Now, &lt;strong&gt;they’re still at the top&lt;/strong&gt;, but they have yet to punch their ticket to the postseason.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;New England Patriots&lt;/a&gt; were pretty close to making the playoffs and securing the division on Sunday. Then, &lt;strong&gt;Josh Allen &lt;/strong&gt;happened. The Buffalo Bills superstar put his team on his shoulders, and it was a wrap.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;It was an epic collapse by &lt;strong&gt;Mike Vrabel’s team&lt;/strong&gt;, and one that raised questions about their status as a contender once again. That’s why they need to respond in the best way.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;With that in mind, Ethan Hurwitz of Patriots on SI revealed the Patriots’ path to the playoffs. It won’t be easy, though, as they have to meet with the &lt;strong&gt;Baltimore Ravens. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Even with a loss, the Patriots can still make the playoffs&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“The most straightforward result on this list. &lt;strong&gt;Should the Patriots head down to Baltimore and beat the Ravens&lt;/strong&gt; — who are coming off of a 24-0 win over the Cincinnati Bengals — they’ll officially be in the postseason for the first time since 2021,&lt;/em&gt;” Hurwitz wrote. &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_546287_Mike-Vrabel-looks-on_18895d57.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Head coach Mike Vrabel of the New England Patriots&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-492094&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Head coach Mike Vrabel of the New England Patriots &lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;The 2-12 Raiders have had an awful season, but should they knock off the Houston Texans, the Patriots will be officially in the postseason&lt;/em&gt;,” he added.&lt;em&gt; “Just like the Texans, another AFC South team is gunning for a spot in the playoffs. It’s looking like the Jaguars are going to win the division, so it comes down to potentially either Houston or Indianapolis for the final spot.&lt;strong&gt; Regardless of who loses, New England will be in the postseason.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;At the end of the day, Mike Vrabel will focus on doing his job, and it’ll be up to the Patriots to ensure they get in, &lt;strong&gt;rather than relying on someone else to give them a hand.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&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;

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;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;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/yu-darvish&quot;&gt;Yu Darvish&lt;/a&gt;’s future with the San Diego Padres, and possibly &lt;strong&gt;Major League Baseball, &lt;/strong&gt;appears to be approaching a crossroads that goes beyond health or contract details. According to reporting by Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune, sources close to the situation suggest Darvish’s&lt;strong&gt; current mindset is shaped by his family&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;That perspective was underscored by one source cited in Acee’s article, who pointed to a deeply personal factor influencing Darvish’s thinking. As written by Acee, &lt;em&gt;“A fourth source, while not explicitly saying the right-hander with a record 208 wins between MLB and Japan is calling it quits, said Darvish’s&lt;strong&gt; priorities after 21 years in professional baseball&lt;/strong&gt; revolve around his family.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Acee’s reporting also highlights how that priority manifests in Darvish’s everyday life, especially following elbow surgery that has sidelined him long term.&lt;em&gt; “Among Darvish’s&lt;strong&gt; cherished rituals is playing catch with his sons&lt;/strong&gt;. That was something he feared he would not be able to continue to do without surgery,”&lt;/em&gt; Acee wrote.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;A decision bigger than baseball&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;As Darvish navigates rehab and reflects on two decades in professional baseball, the&lt;strong&gt; coming months may bring clarity &lt;/strong&gt;not just about whether he can pitch again, but whether he wants to. Acee’s reporting suggests the conversation now centers on balance, between legacy, health, and family.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Darvish has given the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-diego-padres&quot;&gt;Padres&lt;/a&gt; five years, &lt;strong&gt;starting in 2021 when he had one of his final seasons with 30 starts.&lt;/strong&gt; But despite his retirement potentially being near, the situation is still unclear with the San Diego front office. A.J. Preller recently made only a brief reference to the Japanese star’s future.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“We’ve got some more questions for the future and what does (the surgery) mean for Yu,” &lt;/em&gt;Preller said during the General Managers Meetings&lt;em&gt;. “He’s a pro, and we have a ton of respect for him. We’re&lt;strong&gt; gonna let him go through his process&lt;/strong&gt; and keep talking to him in the next couple of weeks.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Adolis Garcia&lt;/strong&gt; will play for the &lt;strong&gt;Phillies&lt;/strong&gt; next season in what has been one of the team’s most significant signings so far. However, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nick-castellanos&quot;&gt;Nick Castellanos&lt;/a&gt; could be ‘eliminated’ by the arrival of the new player, who plays the same position and &lt;strong&gt;will earn significantly less than him&lt;/strong&gt;, as explained by Bob Nightengale on X.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Just in case there was any doubt at all that Nick Castellanos won’t be returning to the Phillies, &lt;strong&gt;they just handed his starting right field to Adolis Garcia&lt;/strong&gt; on his one-year, $10 million deal. Castellanos is owed $20 million in 2026,”&lt;/em&gt; wrote Nightengale, indirectly suggesting that Castellanos could be on his way out at any moment&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Nightengale was not the only one to comment on a possible Castellanos exit. John Clark of NBCS also weighed in on the topic, writing on X: &lt;em&gt;“Phillies are signing rightfielder Adolis Garcia to a one year deal to be the new RF, Jon Heyman reports. A two time All-Star in 2023, 2021. &lt;strong&gt;Nick Castellanos will be gone.&lt;/strong&gt;“&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Analysts favor Garcia over Castellanos&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Neither Nightengale nor Clark were alone; other analysts and writers who follow the Phillies closely &lt;strong&gt;were saying that Garcia is ‘refreshing’ for the outfield.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;“Adolis Garcia is an upgrade over Nick Castellanos defensively &lt;strong&gt;with more pop if the bat can return,&lt;/strong&gt;” &lt;/em&gt;said Cory Nidoh.&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;NICK CASTELLANOS CLUTCH RBI DOUBLE&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://t.co/kYaPsyfFhM&quot;&gt;pic.twitter.com/kYaPsyfFhM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Barstool Philly (@BarstoolPhilly) &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/BarstoolPhilly/status/1976437975547510852?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;October 10, 2025&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt; 



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“I view it more&lt;strong&gt; as replacing Max Kepler, to be honest.&lt;/strong&gt; Nick Castellanos almost certainly isn’t coming back regardless. Also RF stats in 2025. García: 16 defensive runs saved, one out above average. Castellanos: Minus-11 DRS, minus-12 OAA,” &lt;/em&gt;commented Tim Kelly of On Pattison on X.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Where could Castellanos land?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;So far, his destination is unknown; there are no rumors or anything official. However, in November, Cardinal Territory discussed how Castellanos could be a perfect fit for the Cardinals. &lt;em&gt;“Knowing Nick [Castellanos] &lt;strong&gt;and how he is in the clubhouse as a veteran&lt;/strong&gt;… he has a really, really ‘want-to-win’ type personality,”&lt;/em&gt; explained Kyle Gibson regarding why Castellanos could be an intriguing trade target for the Cardinals.&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;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Julian Alvarez&lt;/strong&gt; has firmly established himself among the standout players of the new generation, making it logical that his personal references are not necessarily the same stars he regularly competes against on the field. When asked about his favorite players from &lt;strong&gt;France&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Spain&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Colombia&lt;/strong&gt;, his answers surprised many fans, as he did not choose &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe&quot;&gt;Kylian Mbappe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Lamine Yamal&lt;/strong&gt;, or &lt;strong&gt;James Rodriguez&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The conversation took place in a video with content creator Reysa, who asked Julian to name his favorite players from several countries, including &lt;strong&gt;Spain, Germany, Uruguay, France, Colombia, Brazil, and Argentina&lt;/strong&gt;, with one clear rule: he was not allowed to choose Lionel Messi.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Atletico de Madrid forward ultimately selected &lt;strong&gt;Pedri&lt;/strong&gt; for &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/spain&quot;&gt;Spain&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Jamal Musiala&lt;/strong&gt; for Germany, &lt;strong&gt;Luis Suarez&lt;/strong&gt; for Uruguay, &lt;strong&gt;Antoine Griezmann&lt;/strong&gt; for France, &lt;strong&gt;Juan Fernando Quintero&lt;/strong&gt; for Colombia, &lt;strong&gt;Neymar&lt;/strong&gt; for Brazil, and &lt;strong&gt;Enzo Fernandez&lt;/strong&gt; for Argentina.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/julian-alvarez&quot;&gt;Julian&lt;/a&gt;’s selections reflected a blend of established stars and players from his own generation. &lt;strong&gt;Pedri and Musiala have already proven themselves at the highest level despite their young age&lt;/strong&gt;, while Enzo Fernandez has been a close teammate for Julian with Argentina and during their shared connection to River Plate earlier in their careers.&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;545992&quot; src=&quot;https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251215_BUS_545883_yamal-alvarez_56826dd4.webp&amp;amp;width=1920&amp;amp;height=1080&quot; alt=&quot;Lamine Yamal of FC Barcelona and Julian Alvarez of Atletico Madrid.&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-545992&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Lamine Yamal of FC Barcelona and Julian Alvarez of Atletico Madrid.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Possible reasons for not choosing Mbappe, Yamal, and James&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The most striking aspect of the list was the &lt;strong&gt;absence of Mbappe&lt;/strong&gt;, who is widely regarded as one of the best players in the world and a global superstar. However, choosing Griezmann made sense, given &lt;strong&gt;his historical importance to &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/france&quot;&gt;France&lt;/a&gt; and his strong connection to Atletico de Madrid&lt;/strong&gt;, where Julian now plays.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/soccer/erling-haaland-overshadows-cristiano-ronaldos-mark-at-man-united-with-another-goal-for-man-city&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

        

        


&lt;p&gt;In the case of &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal&quot;&gt;Lamine Yamal&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;the explanation appears to be stylistic and experiential&lt;/strong&gt;. While Yamal is still developing and has enormous potential, Pedri is already a fully established midfielder with a refined style, &lt;strong&gt;serving as a central figure for both Barcelona and Spain&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;As for &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colombia&quot;&gt;Colombia&lt;/a&gt;, the decision to favor Juan Fernando Quintero over James Rodriguez raised eyebrows, but it carries a clear emotional context. &lt;strong&gt;Quintero is closely linked to River Plate&lt;/strong&gt;, Julian’s boyhood club, and left an indelible mark with legendary performances, &lt;strong&gt;most notably in the 2018 Copa Libertadores final at the Santiago Bernabeu against Boca Juniors&lt;/strong&gt;, a moment that remains iconic in South American soccer history.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the most anticipated matchups in international soccer features &lt;strong&gt;Argentina&lt;/strong&gt; against &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/spain&quot;&gt;Spain&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, a showdown designed to determine the reigning champion between South America and Europe. The long-discussed meeting is the &lt;strong&gt;Finalissima&lt;/strong&gt;, a match that has repeatedly been delayed but now reportedly has both a venue and a date confirmed for 2026, before the &lt;strong&gt;FIFA World Cup&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;According to Gaston Edul, &lt;strong&gt;Argentina and Spain are set to face each other on March 27, 2026, in Qatar&lt;/strong&gt;, with the match scheduled &lt;strong&gt;to be played at Lusail Stadium&lt;/strong&gt;, the same venue where Argentina lifted the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup&quot;&gt;World Cup&lt;/a&gt; trophy in 2022. Notably, both national teams could also cross paths again during the World Cup itself, &lt;strong&gt;potentially as early as the round of 16&lt;/strong&gt;, adding even more intrigue to an already marquee international clash.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The RFEF has already acknowledged the agreement for the match, with federation president Rafael Louzan confirming that the deal is in place and only awaits formal communication.&lt;em&gt; “&lt;strong&gt;We reached an agreement with UEFA&lt;/strong&gt;,”&lt;/em&gt; Louzan said when speaking to the media. He added that the final step is an official announcement, noting, &lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;We are just waiting for the formal confirmation&lt;/strong&gt;.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The March edition, &lt;strong&gt;which is expected to feature Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal as headline figures&lt;/strong&gt;, would mark another chapter in a matchup that has gained significant relevance in recent years. The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/finalissima&quot;&gt;Finalissima&lt;/a&gt; is increasingly viewed as a marquee international event and one that could become a permanent fixture on the global soccer calendar.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Two straight Finalissimas for Argentina&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Finalissima&lt;strong&gt; returned to the international calendar in 2022&lt;/strong&gt;, when &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina&quot;&gt;Argentina&lt;/a&gt; defeated Italy 3-0&lt;/strong&gt; at Wembley Stadium. Since then, CONMEBOL and UEFA have worked to ensure continuity for the clash between continental champions, making this the second time in the decade that Argentina would compete in the Finalissima, now aiming for a historic back-to-back title.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/soccer/lionel-messi-shows-humility-with-message-in-english-about-inter-miamis-successful-season&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

        

        


&lt;h2&gt;The Finalissima’s history before its return&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The competition, which pits the champions of the Copa America against the winners of the UEFA European Championship, replaced the former Copa Artemio Franchi, which was held twice, &lt;strong&gt;in 1985 and 1993&lt;/strong&gt;. Those editions were &lt;strong&gt;won by France and Argentina&lt;/strong&gt;, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In the most recent of those early editions, played in Mar del Plata, &lt;strong&gt;Diego Armando Maradona lifted his final trophy with Argentina&lt;/strong&gt;. That match ended 1-1 against Denmark, before Argentina prevailed 5-4 in the penalty shootout, closing a historic chapter in international &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer&quot;&gt;soccer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Porto&lt;/strong&gt; enter this fixture with the pressure turned up as the &lt;strong&gt;Primeira Liga&lt;/strong&gt; leaders look to maintain their advantage at the top of the table. With &lt;strong&gt;Benfica &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Sporting CP&lt;/strong&gt; both winning earlier in the Matchday, anything short of three points could tighten the race.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Porto &lt;/strong&gt;will look to take care of business against an &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/estrela&quot;&gt;Estrela&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;side short on form and sitting on 14 points, just four clear of the relegation playoff spots, making this a high-stakes matchup at both ends of the standings.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;When will the Porto vs Estrela match be played?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Porto &lt;/strong&gt;play against&lt;strong&gt; Estrela &lt;/strong&gt;in a Matchday 14 clash of the 2025/2026&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Primeira Liga&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;this&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Monday, December 15&lt;/strong&gt;, with kickoff scheduled for&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;3:45 PM (ET).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Manchester United&lt;/strong&gt; enter this &lt;strong&gt;Premier League&lt;/strong&gt; showdown with a clear mission as the &lt;em&gt;Red Devils&lt;/em&gt; push to lock down a European qualification berth that has been a season-long target. A win would pull &lt;strong&gt;United &lt;/strong&gt;level on points with &lt;strong&gt;Chelsea&lt;/strong&gt;, the club currently holding the final &lt;strong&gt;Champions League&lt;/strong&gt; spot, though goal difference still favors the &lt;em&gt;Blues&lt;/em&gt;.&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;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/connor-bedard&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Connor Bedard&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; will be placed on injured reserve as an upper body issue will sideline him for the foreseeable future. That includes the game against &lt;strong&gt;Auston Matthews&lt;/strong&gt; and the &lt;strong&gt;Toronto Maple Leafs&lt;/strong&gt;. Meanwhile, the &lt;strong&gt;Chicago Blackhawks&lt;/strong&gt; have added two players to the roster.&lt;/p&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;

Blackhawks announce two additions with injured Connor Bedard out against Auston Matthews’ Maple Leafs

&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;
