New York Giants cornerback Adoree’ Jackson, an impending free agent, isn’t likely to be back with Big Blue in 2024. That is unless he believes the Giants are ready to compete for a Super Bowl. “I want to win a Super Bowl, and I know the Giants are capable of winning because we saw [in the 2022 playoff run] that it was a possibility.

That shouldn’t be happening in the Six Nations which is the pinnacle of rugby.Test players and coaches are in the results business which is why with two wins from…

Buoyed by the goalscoring form of Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw, City have won their previous ten games in all competitions. Last weekend, they overcame Arsenal away from home to progress into the quarter-finals of the Women’s FA Cup.Given Chelsea’s similarly imperious run, you feel as if City are going to need to win on the road again on Friday if…

The Jay Fund was inspired by…
