Hall Jets Future Uncertain After Trade Deadline
After watching teammates Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams get traded, Hall remains the last man standing with the Jets. The 24-year-old running back, who rushed for a career-high 1,065 yards in 2025, didn't exactly commit to the franchise when asked about his long-term plans.
With the Jets appearing deep in a rebuild and Hall among the best running backs on the market, this offseason could provide the opportunity he's been looking for to prove he's been held back by poor offensive situations.
Police launch investigation into racist abuse of four Premier League players
Police are investigating a spate of online abuse directed at Premier League footballers over the weekend, with authorities issuing a stark warning to offenders that "anyone who believes they can hide behind their keyboards should think again".
The UK Football Policing Unit (UKFPU) confirmed it had received four separate reports of abuse targeting top-flight players within the last three days.
Wolves striker Tolu Arokodare and Sunderland midfielder Romaine Mundle were the latest to be subjected to online vitriol on Sunday, following similar incidents involving Chelsea’s Wesley Fofana and Burnley’s Hannibal Mejbri on Saturday.
Chief Constable Mark Roberts, head of the UKFPU, condemned the behaviour on Monday, stating: "There is absolutely no place for racial abuse, either online or in person, and anyone who believes they can hide behind their keyboards should think again.
“The UKFPU condemns this abhorrent behaviour and we will ensure that, through our dedicated team of officers, we do everything possible to identify those responsible and bring them to justice."
Arokodare, who missed a penalty during Wolves’ 1-0 defeat at Crystal Palace on Sunday, subsequently received racist messages from multiple accounts.
Sunderland later revealed Mundle had been the victim of similar attacks after his substitute appearance in the 3-1 loss to Fulham.
Anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out, which has consistently called for social media platforms to take more robust action, issued a statement on Sunday evening.
It read: "We stand in solidarity with Wolves’ Tolu Arokodare and Sunderland’s Romaine Mundle. This has been an appalling weekend after four players called out the racist abuse they’ve received on social media.
“But the sad fact is, we know it happens regularly. The message from them is loud and clear: action must follow. Players cannot be expected to tolerate this behaviour, and nor should anyone else."
Fofana, who shared screenshots of messages sent to his Instagram account, expressed a pessimistic view on the ongoing issue.
"2026, it’s still the same thing, nothing changes. These people are never punished," he posted.
"You create big campaigns against racism, but nobody actually does anything."
Mejbri also shared abusive messages, writing on his Instagram story: "It’s 2026 and there are still people like that. Educate yourself and your kids, please."
The Premier League issued its own statement, pledging to assist Wolves’ and Sunderland’s investigations, promising "serious consequences" for those found guilty, and reaffirming: "Football is for everyone – there is no room for racism."
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman added: "The racism experienced by these footballers is abhorrent.
“The Prime Minister has supported footballers before who have had the courage to come forward and call out discrimination and racism and this is no different.
“Premier League clubs have said they want to work with social media sites, including Meta, the Premier League and the police to identify those responsible.
“And Meta has said that it will continue to work to protect people from abuse. Ministers will be holding them to account to ensure it happens."
In a related development, Nigel Dewale, who sent online abuse to England defender Jess Carter during last summer’s Women’s Euro, is scheduled for sentencing on 25 March after pleading guilty to a charge of malicious communication in January.
His arrest and subsequent conviction followed an investigation launched by the UKFPU last July.
Bayern star returns to team training ahead of Dortmund clash
Bayern Munich have been boosted by the return to full training of Konrad Laimer ahead of their top-of-the-table clash with Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.
As reported by Sky Germany, the Austrian international trained with his teammates on Monday and is expected to be available for selection against Dortmund.
Laimer missed Bayern’s 3-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday after he struggled with a minor issue last week.
Meanwhile, Manuel Neuer is also making progress in his injury recovery and returned to individual training on Monday.
He, too, could potentially return to the squad to face the Black and Yellows.
Giants star stunningly wins strike challenge by less than 0.1 inch
It's a brand-new day for MLB teams, players and fans: The ABS challenge system -- which was tested in spring training and the All-Star Game last year -- is coming full-time to the game in 2026!
That's right! Hitters and pitchers will be able to challenge umpires' ball and strike calls with replays starting this year, so we've already seen some use in early spring training games.
That included what might already be the best challenge of the year, courtesy of Willy Adames. The San Francisco Giants shortstop challenged a third strike call... and replay showed he was right by LESS THAN 0.1 INCHES!
