  • News & Notes from Around the NFL: Dolphins’ Patrick Paul aspires to be president; Micah Parsons not happy with perceived Jordan Love slight

    A Dolphin in office?!!? Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Patrick Paul believes his squad will surprise some people in 2026. Far more surprising than a Miami resurgence is what Paul aspires to become after his NFL days are over.

    He wants to be elected to the highest office in the United States of America.

    “One thing I want them to know is that I’m going to fight my hardest to become president one day,” Paul told former teammate Terron Armstead on The Set, when asked what’s one thing the world should know about him. “So, I want them to know that.”

    Not stopping there, Paul said he “might try to do Nigeria also.”

    “It’s possible,” he said. “I can do it legally, so why not?”

    Speaking to a stunned Armstead, Paul made it clear it was a “real goal.”

    It’s not a new dream for the offensive tackle, either.

    “It’s kind of been a thing growing up honestly,” he said. “A lot of my family was in politics.”

    Paul was born in Texas, has lived in Nigeria and has roots in England. He’s a worldly thinker with 34 games’ worth of NFL experience so far.

    Making it to the NFL is a big enough dream for most players, but the 6-foot-7, 320-pounder has some mighty large ambitions awaiting after his gridiron days have concluded.

  • Gianni Infantino no se detiene y pone presión para hacer un colosal Mundial de 64 selecciones en 2030: se estudiará tras esta Copa del Mundo

    Gianni Infantino y su plan de revolucionar el fútbol no tiene freno. El presidente de la Fifa habló sin pelos en la lengua de la posibilidad de seguir ampliando la Copa del Mundo después del éxito que ha sido este Mundial en Norteamérica con 48 selecciones.

    En pleno desarrollo de la Copa del Mundo, el mandamás de la Fifa fue consultado sobre esa posibilidad que está en el aire de seguir ampliando la Copa del Mundo para hacer un torneo colosal en 2030.

    Un Mundial para la historia

    Lejos de esconderse por la pregunta, Infantino reveló que hay un deseo de expandir el Mundial 2030 que, de por sí, ya tiene mucha carga histórica. La edición conmemorará los 100 años de la primera Copa del Mundo que se desarrolló en Uruguay en 1930.

    La Copa del Mundo del 2030, además, será organizada por primera vez en la historia por seis países de tres continentes diferentes. Uruguay, Paraguay y Argentina albergarán tres partidos únicos que darán el puntapié inicial al torneo. España, Portugal y Marruecos también serán sedes y se llevarán el lomito de la cita orbital.

    El plan de Infantino

    Gianni Infantino en sus planes quiere expandir el Mundial a 64 selecciones para que más países tengan la posibilidad de clasificar. La idea se está estudiando y no sería del todo descabellada.

    “¿64 equipos en la Copa del Mundo? Sin duda, este tema será considerado una vez que finalice el Mundial actual. Al organizar el torneo, es importante tener en cuenta no solo a Europa y Suramérica, sino al mundo entero. Cada país debería tener la oportunidad de cumplir su sueño de participar en la Copa del Mundo”, señaló Infantino.

    Gianni Infantino Foto:EFE

    Infantino indicó que esta primera Copa del Mundo con 48 selecciones ya es todo un éxito y quiere repetirlo en cuatro años. “Un torneo con 48 selecciones nacionales ha demostrado ser sumamente exitoso”, indicó el mandamás del fútbol mundial.

    “Todos los equipos mostraron un alto nivel de juego. Equipos de todos los continentes marcaron goles y sumaron al menos un punto. Nueve de cada diez selecciones africanas llegaron a la fase eliminatoria. Esto demuestra una vez más lo importante que es dar a cada equipo una oportunidad”, agregó.

    Más naciones contentas significan más votos para una futura reelección de Infantino. El presidente de la Fifa estaría muy cerca de hacer una jugada maestra para que el Mundial sea colosal y sin precedentes.

  • Brian Schottenheimer wants to win Super Bowl for Cowboys players – and get ‘extra’ Super Bowl ring for late father

    A quest for a Super Bowl return has carried on 30 years for the Dallas Cowboys.

    For the Schottenheimer family, the journey has been much longer.

    The late Marty Schottenheimer is widely regarded as one of the greatest NFL head coaches of all time to have never made it to a Super Bowl.

    His son, current Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer is entering his second season as Dallas’ head coach and isn’t shying away from talking about Super Bowl aspirations. Realizing a Super Bowl triumph is a pursuit he’s passionate about, though not for his own individual glory.

    “It’s always something I’ve always dreamed of, you know,” he said recently on The Twins Take Podcast. “I want to win a Super Bowl. I don’t want to win it for me.”

    So, who does he want to win it for? Well, his players for starters.

    “I want to win it for the people under my leadership,” he said. “I want to win it for Dak Prescott. I want to win it for CeeDee Lamb, for Quinnen Williams, for, your players that put in so much, you know, hard work and the sacrifice that goes into what we do. You know, from us as a coaching staff, it’s the hours, it’s the mental strain of game planning, but for the players, they put their bodies on the line.

    “I make no qualms, that that’s the goal. The Super Bowl next year is Feb. 14th, 2027.

    “We plan on being there.”

    Should Schottenheimer fulfill his – and his father’s – ambition, he plans on asking for a little extra.

    “I’ve said this from the very beginning,” Schottenheimer said, holding back emotions, “when we get our Super Bowl rings, I’ll be getting an extra one for my dad.”

  • Is 49ers’ Kyle Juszczyk a TE or FB? ‘I’m a fullback when it comes to contract negotiations, which hurts’

    One of the NFL’s preeminent fullbacks, the San Francisco 49ers’ Kyle Juszczyk‘s been rubbing shoulder pads with tight ends quite a bit lately.

    So, is he a fullback or a tight end?

    Well, as Juszczyk explained, his paycheck certainly says he’s a fullback.

    “Am I a tight end? Am I not a tight end? I don’t know. That’s a great question,” Juszczyk said recently from the 2026 American Century Championship golf event in an interview with NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco. “Unfortunately, I think I’m a tight end and not a tight end at all the wrong times. I’m a fullback when it comes to contract negotiations, which hurts, but then I’m a tight end on game day.”

    At least this offseason, Juszczyk has been living the tight end highlife. The 10-time Pro Bowler – as a fullback — landed an invitation to the annual Tight End University, run by teammate George Kittle, Kansas City Chiefs all-time great Travis Kelce and Greg Olsen, a color analyst who was a 14-year NFL vet with three Pro Bowl selections.

    More impressive than that, Juszczyk and wife Kristin scored an invitation to the social event of the year – Kelce and Taylor Swift’s wedding.

    Juszczyk’s wife, a designer, memorably made a puffer jacket for Swift fashioned like a Kelce jersey.

    The two-time All-Pro admitted he signed a non-disclosure agreement related to the Swift-Kelce ceremony. He was able to give a rave review of the evening, though.

    “I can just say that it truly was such an incredible time,” the 13-year NFL veteran said. “It was so much fun. It was so much genuine love and just fun and passion there, that we just had the best time.”

  • Los futbolistas de Suiza explotaron y tiraron veneno tras la eliminación del Mundial contra Argentina: ‘Es más fácil ser fuerte con los débiles’

    La clasificación de Argentina a las semifinales del Mundial 2026 volvió a ser opacada tras una serie de polémicas arbitrales y decisiones que fueron a su favor. Los futbolistas de Suiza explotaron tras la eliminación a manos de la campeona del mundo y la expulsión de Breel Embolo fue tema de discordia.

    Suiza demostró que no era un rival fácil y puso en aprietos a una Argentina que volvió a dejar dudas en su camino para defender la corona. El partido se fue al tiempo extra tras el empate 1-1 con los goles de Alexis Mac Allister y Dan Ndoye en los 90 minutos, pero estuvo marcado por la expulsión del delantero Breel Embolo por una simulación.

    El árbitro portugués João Pinheiro sancionó una falta a favor de Suiza y le mostró la tarjeta amarilla a Leandro Paredes. El VAR intervino y lo llamó para que revisara la acción, cambió su decisión, le mostró la amarilla al artillero y, como ya estaba amonestado, lo expulsó.

    La roja le quitó poder de fuego a la selección de Suiza que trató de llevar la definición a los penaltis. No lo logró y, con goles de Julián Álvarez y Lautaro Martínez, Argentina selló el triunfo 3-1.

    La caída provocó que los jugadores de Suiza explotaran a la salida del Arrowhead Stadium de Kansas City. El capitán Granit Xhaka fue uno de los que levantó la voz y se quejó por el arbitraje del portugués y sus colaboradores.

    “Creo que estábamos jugando muy bien; incluso tenía la sensación de que podíamos haber sacado más provecho. Pero, por desgracia, así es el fútbol. Es una decisión trascendental que cambia por completo el partido”, dijo Xhaka.

    “Duele mucho. Las reglas son las reglas. No podemos cambiarlas. Pero con esa decisión acabó con el partido. Esa es mi opinión. No sé qué más podría haber hecho el árbitro. Pero no debería haberlo hecho”, agregó.

    Manuel Akanji, uno de los grandes referentes de la selección, fue más crudo al hablar del arbitraje. “Normalmente no me quejo del árbitro, pero hoy todo les salió bien. Nunca había jugado un partido tan desigual. Ninguna de las simulaciones de los argentinos fue castigada. No recibieron ni una sola tarjeta amarilla en 90 minutos. Luego, por el incidente de Breel Embolo, recibió una tarjeta amarilla y fue expulsado. Pero incluso con diez jugadores, hicimos lo que pudimos”.

    El DT Murat Yakin también se despachó sin filtro: “No sé quién inventó esta regla, pero no podemos cambiarla. Si le sacas una tarjeta amarilla a Embolo por eso, tendrías que haberle sacado varias antes por algunas faltas contra Breel. Pero al final nos castigaron. Me resulta incomprensible que una regla nos debilite así”.

    Alexandre Comisetti, por su parte, señaló: “El señor Pinheiro no puede estar orgulloso de sí mismo. Es más fácil ser fuerte con los débiles que débil con los fuertes. Argentina se ha beneficiado de varias decisiones”.
