NFL Coach Reveals Teams Still Doubt Eagles' Jalen Hurts
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Despite being the latest Super Bowl MVP, Jalen Hurts still isn't viewed as a top-tier quarterback in the NFL. Top 10? He's got that for the most part, but barely. A recent panel of anonymous coaches and GMs ranked quarterbacks, and The Athletic placed Hurts in the Tier 2 category, tied for ninth with Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud. The standout quote regarding Hurts considered him a "really good player on a team of really good players." Oftentimes, the fact that the Eagles have a strong roster is used against Hurts in quarterback debates. The questions about Hurts' value as a passer remain. One anonymous head coach claimed that Hurts improved in that category, but not enough to change the typical defensive game plan going against Hurts. "He has improved from the pocket, but when you play him, you still want him to beat you from there — that is the whole plan," a head coach said. "If he can get out of the pocket in two-minute, he is effective as hell, and he has done it. But he has to do it with his legs in crunch time. The guys you want can do it with the arm and legs in crunch time."

Jalen Hurts #1 of the Philadelphia Eagles puts on his helmet during Training Camp at NovaCare Complex on August 4, 2025 in Philadelphia, Eagles didn't throw nearly as much in 2024 as they did in 2023. Two seasons ago, Hurts attempted a career-high 538 passes. While he threw for 23 touchdowns, he also turned the ball over with 15 interceptions, which certainly helps the anonymous coach's case. Last year, the Eagles picked up the game's top running back in Saquon Barkley. Clearly, there was a plan to run the ball more often than not. As a result, Hurts threw for just 361 attempts. It was just the second time in his five-year career that he threw under 400 passes in a season. The run-heavy offense didn't help Hurts' case in the debate. However, his playoff performance as a whole did. The Eagles played in every round and saw Hurts throw for a career-high 726 yards and five touchdowns in the postseason. His previous career-high came during the 2022 Super Bowl run, which included 579 yards and three touchdowns. Heading into Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs, it was clear the plan was to shut down Saquon Barkley and force Hurts to take matters into his own hands. The Chiefs held Barkley to 57 yards on 25 carries. Hurts stepped up to the plate and tossed for 221 yards and two touchdowns, while rushing for 72 yards and one touchdown. It was a statement playoff run put together by Hurts, but opinions haven't changed much. Heading into his sixth NFL season, Hurts still has plenty of doubters about his value as a pocket passer.

Greg Olsen says he and Tom Brady have built 'really nice personal relationship' this past year at Fox
While Greg Olsen, an Emmy-award-winning color commentator, hasn't been shy about his feelings toward Fox management after his demotion last year, he's remained committed to separating his business grievances from his personal relationship with Tom Brady, who replaced him as the network's top game analyst. Olsen had Brady on the new episode of his podcast, "Youth Inc." to discuss Brady's youth sports journey and how it helped shape his competitive drive that eventually piloted seven Super Bowl victories. When Olsen joined "Yahoo Sports Daily" with Jason Fitz and Caroline Fenton Tuesday, Fitz referenced the recent Youth Inc. episode with Brady and asked Olsen if it's weird for him to be talking in that space with a colleague who is also a competitor in the sports broadcast industry. "It's really not weird at all," Olsen said. "Tom and I have gotten to know each other over the last 12 or so months and have actually gotten to have a really nice personal relationship. "We knew each other as players, but just on the field before and after games saying hello. But it wasn't really until Tom joined Fox that we really got to know each other more on a personal level, and I've just really enjoyed being around him, spending some time with him." Olsen said during his "Daily" appearance that he was just at the Fox seminar in California, where he caught up with Brady. But the former tight end's conversation with Brady on Youth Inc. was front and center for everyone to watch. And the All-Pros addressed the elephant in the room toward the end of the episode, albeit through the youth sports lens of how you can be a good teammate. "We've discussed this a lot privately. There's been a lot of speculation about our relationship, a lot of speculation about our working relationship," Olsen said on Youth Inc. "Something we used to try to preach with our kids all the time is, you can compete against people, but in order to prop myself up, I don't have to pull you down." Olsen added: "I think, and I'm not patting ourselves on the back by any means, I'm just using it as an example where you can be highly competitive and you can be highly motivated in a very competitive world that you and I now live in and still be incredible supporters of one another and still share information and still want to see each other do well." Brady notably took Olsen's place alongside Kevin Burkhardt as Fox's No. 1 game analyst after signing a 10-year, $375 million contract with the network. Brady's up-and-down rookie year in the booth ended with his first Super Bowl broadcast, just two years removed from Olsen calling the first iteration of Eagles-Chiefs on Fox. "I was very much a rookie this last year, but I looked up to a lot of people that I thought, 'Man, he does a great job!' And you're obviously one of the greats already at such a young age," Brady said to Olsen on Youth Inc. "I watched so much Greg Olsen broadcasting tape, and I just said, 'OK, well what's he do that I really like that maybe I can apply to what I'm doing in my prep or on air?' And then [do the same thing with] other people that have been in this business a long time because [I'm] trying something that's totally new and totally different." While alluding to the delayed gratification he received during the first chapters of his playing career, Brady stressed the importance of getting a little bit better every day. He also conceded that he knows not everyone's going to be a fan of his on-air work and that he's never going to be perfect. But, more than anything, he's trying to be "good with the man in the mirror," in other words proud of what he's working toward. "I'll be here for you for anything," Brady told Olsen on Youth Inc. "That's the reality when you ask anything, from now to the rest of my life, because you've been available to me, and that's what a great teammate is." Then Brady hinted at his and Olsen's competing roles in the network. "And there's a part with our jobs that people want to write about that — I don't give a s*** about any of that. I just care about my relationship to you," Brady said to Olsen on Youth Inc. "I know if I'm cool with you, that's all that matters. And I know that when you call, I answer. And I know when I call you, you answer. When I got a question, you answer it. And when you got a question, I answer it. ... This time will come and go, and the articles will come and go, but the only people that need to be cool are me and you, because that's all that matters to me in my life. So that's how I view it." Olsen is itching to call big-time games again, but he's also continuing to drive home the point that he can both push for that opportunity and support Brady in his role at Fox. Brady, meanwhile, is clearly thankful for that support.

PSG Beats Tottenham on Penalties To Win UEFA Super Cup After Late Comeback
UEFA Super Cup PSG Beats Tottenham on Penalties To Win UEFA Super Cup After Late Comeback Updated Aug. 13, 2025 5:54 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Paris Saint-Germain beat Tottenham 4-3 on penalties to win the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday, completing a remarkable rally after scoring two late goals to take the match to a shootout. It secured a fifth trophy of 2025 for the French club. Lee Kang-in scored in the 85th for PSG and fellow substitute Gonçalo Ramos grabbed an equalizer in the fourth minute of stoppage time to make it 2-2 in regulation. Nuno Mendes converted the clinching penalty in the shootout for PSG. The Super Cup is an annual early-season match between the most recent winners of the Champions League (PSG) and Europa League (Tottenham), and it was hardly going to script when the English club took a 2-0 lead early in the second half. Defenders popped up with Spurs' goals, with Micky van de Ven showing quick reactions to prod home the opener in the 39th minute after new PSG goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier tipped Joao Palhinha's shot onto the crossbar. Chevalier — playing ahead of Gianluigi Donnarumma, who announced Tuesday he was leaving PSG — might have been unlucky with the first goal but was to blame for the second after failing to keep out a header from newly appointed Tottenham captain Cristian Romero in the 48th. ADVERTISEMENT Tottenham is further along in its preparations for the new campaign than PSG, whose players have only just returned to training after being involved in the Club World Cup until mid-July, and looked much sharper at Stadio Friuli. PSG finished strongly, though, and hit Tottenham with late goals as Lee smashed in a low shot from the edge of the area and Ramos headed home Ousmane Dembélé's right-wing cross. In the shootout, Vitinha missed PSG's first attempt, but the French team then converted four in a row. Van de Ven and Mathys Tel failed to score for Tottenham, whose manager, Thomas Frank, was taking charge of his first competitive match with the Premier League team. Frank took over in the offseason following the firing of Ange Postecoglou, who led Tottenham to its first trophy in 17 years with a victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final in May. PSG completed the Champions League-Ligue 1-Coupe de France treble last season, also winning the Trophee des Champions in January. The team lost the Club World Cup final to Chelsea.
