49ers WR Ricky Pearsall out after season ending surgery.
He started last season really well. He's clearly a talented player but his knees are made of glass. Hopefully whatever else the surgery helps him health wise in the long term.

No age at all. Absolutely tragic, and a legend of the game.
Glad he got a job in the league after the recent controversy, even if it’s one he is significantly overqualified for.
Totally agree, they keep saying he has nothing left to prove. I disagree. Yes, he has a gold jacket waiting for him, but a few more years of this level of play and another DPOY and he will have proven himself as not just a HOFer, but as the GOAT defensive player. Right now he is the best defensive player of the last decade or so... but he can seal it as best in history with a little more.
Hardly a classic, but a decent game all the same.
The difference for me was the play calling at the end. On 4th and short with the game on the line, the Rams give the ball to their best player in Kupp on a sweep and he runs for the first down.
On 3rd and short right at the end, the Bengals run backup RB Samaje Perine straight at Aaron Donald.
Several awards were handed out on Thursday, recognising players and coaches both on the field and in the community. Who won each of the main awards handed out at the 2022 NFL Honors?
NFL MVP
Aaron Rodgers | Green Bay Packers
Rodgers now stands alone with four NFL MVP awards. He is just one behind Peyton Manning for the most MVP awards ever. Having won the last two, he has a great chance to match the Hall of Fame QB. Rodgers also joined a select list of players to have won the MVP award in back-to-back seasons.
Offensive Player of the Year
Cooper Kupp | Los Angeles Rams
Kupp became just the third wide receiver to win the Offensive Player of the Year award in the last 30 years. Who are the only two other members of that club? Jerry Rice (1993) and Michael Thomas (2019).
Defensive Player of the Year
T.J. Watt | Pittsburgh Steelers
It was no real surprise that Watt took home the Defensive Player of the Year award after matching Michael Strahan’s single-season sack record. Watt earned the award for the first time and it is the fourth DPOY award won by the Watt brothers in the last 10 years.
Coach of the Year
Mike Vrabel | Tennessee Titans
In what was viewed as a tight contest between Vrabel, Zac Taylor, and Matt LaFleur, it was Vrabel who came out on top in the Coach of the Year voting. Vrabel taking home the award makes the 2022 NFL Honors the sixth consecutive year a coach has won the award for the first time.
Assistant Coach of the Year
Dan Quinn | Dallas Cowboys
How things change in a year. In the 2020-21 season, the Atlanta Falcons fired Quinn as head coach. Less than 18 months later, he earned Assistant Coach of the Year honours after turning around what had been a woeful Cowboys defense.
Comeback Player of the Year
Joe Burrow | Cincinnati Bengals
It was a tight call whether Burrow or Dak Prescott would take home the Comeback Player of the Year award — both led their teams to division titles coming off serious leg injuries. Ultimately, the incredible turnaround that Burrow helped lead the Bengals to this season gave him the edge over Prescott.
Offensive Rookie of the Year
Ja’Marr Chase | Cincinnati Bengals
The last offseason was filled with much debate around the Bengals and Chase. Many felt the Bengals should have reinforced their offensive line, while Chase’s issues with drops were highlighted in the preseason. Chase would defy those discussions to win the Offensive Rookie of the Year award, posting 1,455 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns on 81 receptions.
Defensive Rookie of the Year
Micah Parsons | Dallas Cowboys
Parsons became a versatile chess piece for the Cowboys in the 2021-22 season. Starting the year at linebacker, he made a seamless transition to help the team rush the passer. He finished the season with 13 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 3 pass breakups, and 84 combined tackles. He was deservedly rewarded with the Defensive Rookie of the Year award.
Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year
Andrew Whitworth | Los Angeles Rams
The Rams matched their Super Bowl opponents with two major awards at the 2022 NFL Honors. Whitworth took home the Walter Payton Man of the Year award for his volunteer/charity work and his excellence on the field. His charitable work includes his Big Whit 77 Foundation, serving a mission to impact the lives of youth and families in the local community.
They increased the requirement last year - now 2 minority candidates must be interviewed for HC jobs.
The Dolphins paying to lose games is a far bigger deal. That's a lose of draft picks kind of offence if they are found to be guilty.
A bit boring in my opinion, and as was pointed out earlier it doesn't have a good shortened version like the Pats, Bucs, 9'ers, etc. I suppose that goes for a lot of teams though.
Should have stuck with Football Team. It was really growing on me, and it is certainly the most precise.

Liverpool did not complete Fabio Carvalho deal with Fulham by deadline.

The Premier League may reconsider the rules surrounding postponing fixtures.
A statement from the Premier League read: “The Premier League is consulting with our clubs regarding COVID-19 postponement rules and guidance in light of the changing national picture and the falling number of cases within our squads."

Not watched any UFC in a while but his one could be interesting
I read Badasses a few years ago, about Madden's Raiders team from the 70s, which was great. Always loved him on co-commentary too. RIP.
Just watched the documentary on BBC 1 about Walter Smith.
Really good. He was an exceptional manager for Rangers during both spells at the club and he also brought some pride back to the national team after the disastrous run of Bertie Vogts. It didn't work out too good for him at Everton but they are going through a troubled time with finances during his time there and many of their top players were sold.
It is also on the iPlayer if anyone wants to watch it - BBC One - Walter: A Life in Football
Mercedes have withdrawn their appeal against the controversial finish to the Abu Dhabi GP.
In a statement, the team say they were left in "disbelief" on Sunday and will "hold the FIA accountable" for review process.
Mercedes intend to appeal but there won't be a title change or anything like that though, and probably rightly so as Max did nothing wrong. It'll likely be swept under the rug and Mercedes pretty much paid off to let it die down.
There's no other outcome in this farcical world of F1.
That's expected, let's give him a penalty that has zero impact on the outcome.
Besides, Bayern are guaranteed to win the league title every year and Lewandowski starts every season without any competitors for top goal scorer.
Was sad to hear of his passing. Motorsport was his life and the Williams team has been synonymous with F1 as long as I've been watching it.
Great to see Alonso back on the podium. A true great.
Max deserves the title but I doubt he'll be winning it against that Mercedes car. It's a rocket and will be a formidable force in the remaining races.
All 20 Premier League clubs have unanimously voted to oppose FIFA’s plans for a World Cup being held every two years
Brilliant first corner from Verstappen. Not the most exciting race after that but I love these evening time races
Every year Burnley are in the PL and competing is a testament to his ability as a manager. Their budget and revenue/potential is tiny but they operate it so well and with him at the helm leading it, they'll keep going.
Seriously underrated manager.
