College football coach famed for Netflix show fired after calling officials ‘idiots’
Buddy Stephens, who was featured on Last Chance U, publicly criticized his school and league hierarchy game-sweetbonanza.com
A college football coach who rose to prominence in a Netflix documentary series about student athletes trying to make the big time on their final opportunity has been fired after publicly calling officials “idiots” for changing the structure of the league in which his team competed.
Buddy Stephens, the coach in question, starred in the first two seasons of the gritty reality show Last Chance U that chronicled the struggles endured by football players at East Mississippi Community College (EMCC) as they juggled academics, challenging home lives and their full-contact sport in their efforts to reach the NFL.
Continue reading...Chris Ballard: Anthony Richardson will be a Colt this year
Back in February, Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson requested a trade.
When nothing materialized, Richardson reported to the offseason program and has been competing to be the team's backup behind Daniel Jones with Riley Leonard.
Richardson's feelings may or may not have changed. But at this point, the Colts do not intend to trade him.
"He is going to be an Indianapolis Colt this year," General Manager Chris Ballard said in his Tuesday press conference.
Richardson, 24, has continued to make strides in his development, Ballard said.
“We forget how young he is sometimes. Really proud of his growth,” Ballard said. “ There were two times in camp where I thought, OK, he’s starting to really show some poise. So the two-minute against New England, we’re backed up, I think it was 38 seconds left on the clock. Gets us in field-goal range to give us a chance to get points. And then during the Atlanta scrimmage, he had a tremendous two-minute [drive] also.
“So, it’s been fun to watch Anthony’s growth.”
Ballard did not declare whether or not Richardson, the No. 4 overall pick of the 2023 draft. will serve as the backup, deferring to head coach Shane Steichen. But when it comes to Richardson’s status with the team at large, Steichen said the quarterback is “in a good spot.”
“He’s a phenomenal teammate — and I don’t use that word lightly,” Ballard said. "Like, he is a great teammate. He likes to be around the team. He likes being part of the team. There’s never been a point — even going back into last year when he didn’t win the job — there’s not been one point where I’ve seen him hang his head and get salty. He’s a phenomenal teammate.”
Wolfe-overgang bekreftet: – Aldri følt meg så ettertraktet
David Møller Wolfe (24) er klar for bundesligaklubben Hamburg. Det bekrefter klubben selv. Venstrebacken går fra 1.-divisjonslaget Wolverhampton på et låneopphold ut sesongen.
Det har versert mange rykter om den norske landslagsspilleren spesielt de siste dagene, og i dag gjennomførte han den medisinske sjekken.
– Jeg har aldri følt meg så ettertraktet av en klubb i min karriere, og jeg er helt overbevist om at vi kan passe godt sammen. Det er det rette steget for meg for å utvikle meg videre og bli den spilleren jeg ønsker å være. Jeg har mye energi som jeg ønsker å ta med til laget, og jeg er en lidenskapelig fyr som alltid gir alt på banen, sier Wolfe til klubbens nettsider.
Den tidligere Brann-spilleren gikk til AZ Alkmaar sommeren for tre år siden. I fjor sommer signerte han for Wolverhampton, men Wolfe har slitt med spilletid.
Også den norske målvakten Sander Tangvik spiller for Hamburg. De tapte sin første kamp for sesongen med 0–2 mot Borussia Dortmund.
