After losing to SuperSport United, Nasreddine Nabi expresses his annoyance at Mfundo Vilakazi and the Kaizer Chiefs’ youth. WHAT OCCURRED? After years without a trophy, the Amakhosi faithful have found optimism again thanks to Nasreddine Nabi’s bright start in South Africa.

The Chicago Bulls, who defeated the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday to earn their first win of the season, will play the Oklahoma City Thunder at home on Saturday to finish the tail end of a back-to-back. To date, no Bulls player has had to leave early because of an injury, which is surprising. As part of his load management strategy, Lonzo Ball was expected to miss Friday’s game; however, he is available on Saturday against the Thunder.

How much will the Phillies decide to reform their bullpen for 2025? A crucial offseason for the Phillies, who are still reeling from an ugly NLDS loss to the Mets, arrived too soon. The team’s first decision will be how to handle the 26 players that helped them finish with 95 wins this past season and earn the second seed in the National League. Who ought to leave, and who ought to stay? Returning the complete roster would be insane. They must be modified. The team’s bullpen was clearly a problem during the playoffs, and they lacked enough contact hitters.…

Brendan Rodgers is not deserving of certain Celtic supporters. And they won’t realize how true it is until he’s gone and they experience a grief that verges on bereavement. Brendan’s critics still condemn him to be The Unforgiven despite all he does, including traveling to Italy on Wednesday night to play in the Champions League and earning a valuable point against Atalanta, the Europa League winners from the previous season. After Celtic was thrashed by Borussia Dortmund by seven goals, I had a caller on the radio who exemplified the long-memory, short-tempered supporter element. After making the customary remark that…
