The UK jury in the rape trial of French footballer Benjamin Mendy was on Wednesday told by one of his accusers how she had shouted 'stop' while trying to fight him off. The 32-year-old woman's recorded interview was played at Chester Crown Court in north-west England. She recalled how the 28-year-old Manchester City player, wearing just boxer shorts, had walked in on her having a shower at his house, where she had stayed the night with one of his friends. "I said, 'You need to leave'," she recalled. "I kept pushing him away, he kept grabbing me back. I just kept trying to wriggle out. "He got very close but I pushed him away as much as I could," she added. The woman, the first of seven accusers to give evidence in his trial, said in the interview that she had considered screaming, but thought "there's no point as he's in his own territory." She had stayed the night at Mendy's home in the village of Mottram St Andrew in rural Cheshire with one of the footballer's … [Read more...] about “Kept Pushing Him Away, He Kept Grabbing Me Back,” Manchester City Player Benjamin Mendy’s Rape Accuser Tells Court | Football News

The Ohio State Buckeyes had an explosive offense last season, but defensive woes were an Achilles heel. And in order to return to the College Football Playoff after missing out a year ago, the Buckeyes must rectify that weakness. College football analyst Joel Klatt shared his thoughts on where Ohio State stands on the defensive side of the ball, saying that there should be improvement. “I think defensively they have — it’s taken them some time to try to find their identity and I think they’re still on that path," Klatt said as a guest on The Herd . "Remember now, they’ve got a new defensive coordinator, Jim Knowles, he comes from Oklahoma State and now he’s going to be Ryan Day’s new defensive coordinator at Ohio State. His first year, I thought he made one of the best hires in all of college football before he had ever coached a game. What he did with Jeff Hafley and that defense — granted, they had great players — but they were physical, they were stout, they were really good … [Read more...] about Ohio State football: Buckeyes defense ‘should be better’ this season, Joel Klatt says

Former Manchester United footballer Ryan Giggs , on trial for assaulting and coercively controlling an ex-girlfriend, told a UK court Wednesday that his record of one sending off in a 24-year career showed he was not prone to violence. Taking the stand at Manchester Crown Court for the second day running, the former United and Wales forward broke down in tears as he described spending a night in the cells as the "worst experience of my life". Giggs denies physically assaulting former partner, PR agent Kate Greville, and her sister nearly two years ago. He also denies controlling Greville during their rocky years-long relationship. Giggs claims that injuries sustained by Greville were an accidental result of a three-way tussle between her and her sister over a mobile phone. The former winger admitted he "may have caught her and her sister", but that his playing career showed he was not violent. He told the court it was "part and parcel" to be verbally abused and provoked on … [Read more...] about Manchester United Legend Ryan Giggs Cites Disciplinary Record In Assault Trial | Football News

Graphic by Keytron Jordan HAMPTON, Georgia -- In the beginning, it was about the raw talent for Will Anderson Jr . A teenage edge rusher from an Atlanta suburb, Anderson was a Porsche without brake lights. It didn't matter if the kid couldn't decipher a bull rush from a speed rush. He was a wind-up toy who never wound down. Forget about technique ... that could come later. In that beginning, it was first about making it through a Dutchtown High School practice. Anderson's defensive coordinator, Will Rogers, remembers the prize defender lining up against the offense in drills. "We had to take him out," said Rogers, who was at Dutchtown for Anderson's entire high school career. "We couldn't get anything done [offensively]. I hear they're doing the same thing at Alabama . They've got to get his butt out of there." There is no official word on Anderson's impact at Alabama practices. They are mostly held out of sight of prying eyes. There is enough proof on Saturdays, … [Read more...] about Motivation, focus never an issue for Will Anderson Jr., the 2022 CBS Sports Preseason Player of the Year

As he did for the 2011 college football season when transferring to Wisconsin from NC State and winning the inaugural Big Ten Championship Game, Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson is looking to elevate his new squad in Year 1 after coming over in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks this spring. Wilson spent one season at Wisconsin and became a Big Ten champion before playing his final collegiate game in the Rose Bowl. “This is Wisconsin all over again,” a source familiar with Wilson’s career said, via ProFootballTalk. During that season, Wilson had a completion rate of 72.8% and passed for 3,175 yards with 33 touchdowns to just four interceptions, which gave him an efficiency rating of 191.8. Prior to the transfer, Wilson was a star at NC State, but the production was not as great. Wilson threw 76 touchdown passes to 26 interceptions in his three seasons with the Wolfpack. Wilson’s work ethic has been on display since his arrival in Denver, attracting the … [Read more...] about Russell Wilson to Denver Broncos ‘is Wisconsin all over again,’ source tells NFL insider
