Jay Woodcroft is out as coach of the Edmonton Oilers after the supposed Stanley Cup contenders lost 10 of their first 13 games this season.Woodcroft was fired Sunday at the end of the team’s road trip, which wrapped up with a 4-1 win at Seattle on Saturday night.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:00:16 GMT

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — It wasn’t until late into Von Miller’s weekly session with reporters when the Buffalo Bills edge rusher came to a realization regarding how his surgically repaired right knee is feeling better by the week, and the significance of facing his former team on Monday night.After spending a majority of his time on Thursday detailing how much he cherished his 10-plus seasons in Denver and calling the outing “just another game,” Miller acknowledged there might be something more to it.He didn’t exactly contradict himself.It’s more as if the 34-year-old Miller found perspective in the timing of the game, how far he’s come in the nearly 12 months since he was hurt, and more importantly, how far he still needs to go after getting no sacks, one quarterback hit and one tackle in five games since returning.“You know, I can go out there and win the game by myself, kind of like a quarterback on offense. I’ve always had that type of self-belief,” Miller said.“So it’s definit...

Texas A&M fired coach Jimbo Fisher on Sunday, a move that will cost the school more than $75 million and end a tenure that began six years ago with the Aggies presenting him an engraved national championship trophy missing only the year.“After very careful analysis of all the components related to Texas A&M football, I recommended to President (Mark) Welsh and then Chancellor (John) Sharp that a change in the leadership of the program was necessary in order for Aggie football to reach our full potential and they accepted my decision,” Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork said in a statement. “We appreciate Coach Fisher’s time here at Texas A&M and we wish him the best in his future endeavors.”Instead of winning a title, Fisher went 45-25 and 27-21 in the Southeastern Conference, never winning more than nine games in any season. The Aggies are 6-4 with two games left, coming off a 51-10 victory against Mississippi State on Saturday night in College Stati...

BRIGHTON, England (AP) — Sheffield United moved off the bottom of the Premier League after Adam Webster’s own-goal secured a 1-1 draw at 10-man Brighton on Sunday. The result extended Brighton’s winless run in the league to six games — its worst run under manager Roberto De Zerbi.Simon Adingra had put the home team ahead with a solo run in the sixth minute, but Mahmoud Dahoud’s red card in the 69th saw the game turn. And when Webster slid into his own goal in the 74th, Sheffield United was on course to pick up the point that moved it off the bottom and above Burnley. It looked like being another difficult day for the visitors when Adingra fired Brighton ahead.The Ivorian’s fourth goal of the season came whe he collected the ball 35 yards from goal on the left. He then shrugged off two tackles and played a one-two with Facundo Buonanotte before slotting past Wes Foderingham.But the character of the game changed when Dahoud was dismissed for stamping on Ben Osborn’s lower ...
