Bills MVP 'Superman' Josh Allen Reveals Brutally Honest Take on Individual Honor originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
It is something for the trophy case and something for the resume.
But to Josh Allen, it is not "the thing.''

For many players, winning an NFL MVP award can be the highlight of their career. It's an honor not to be taken lightly and Buffalo Bills quarterback Allen certainly respects that.
But ...
Allen, having been named the NFL's Most Valuable Player for the 2024 season, is not even close to the achievement he craves.
Allen is talking now about the honor of winning the award … but how it meant little compared to his overall legacy and goals.
"I still didn't win a Super Bowl. Didn't win a ring, and that is the only goal. It's the only focus that I've ever had going into this league," Allen said.

It's a brutally honest take ... and yet it is the only right one.
Humble stuff? Sure. But look at it this way: He's become one of the best quarterbacks in the sport ... but that is now only the foundation of where he's going. It's almost to be taken for granted - by him, not by us - that he will give Buffalo individual "Superman'' excellence along the lines of what he did last year.
Allen totaled 3,731 yards and 28 touchdowns with only six interceptions as a passer and 531 yards and 12 touchdowns as a rusher as he cleverly and bullishly led his team to a 13-4 record.
But that's not enough, because he knows his legacy will be tied directly to whether he can get the Bills to the promised land.

At the same time, speaking about the "foundation'' ...
"The one positive, I will say, about winning an MVP,'' Allen added, "(is that it) means that your team is in a good position. You're making the playoffs, you're playing well, and you're doing whatever you can to help your team win football games."
Allen and the Bills do a lot of that.
But they - and he - need one more win. ... in The Big Game.

Borussia Dortmund ‘confident' they can keep Carney Chukwuemeka

Borussia Dortmund secured their place in the last 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup with a 1-0 win against Ulsan HD on Wednesday night. Speaking after their narrow victory, Sebastian Kehl remains confident that they can keep Chelsea loanee Carney Chukwuemeka until the end of the tournament. The 21-year-old's loan deal at Dortmund expires at the end of the month and while it would be financially unfeasible for the Bundesliga side to sign Chukwuemeka on a permanent basis, BVB want to keep the English midfielder on loan for the duration of the Club World Cup. Advertisement 'I'm very confident we can do it,' BVB sporting director Kehl told reporters. 'We don't want to get any worse. That's why we'd like to keep him. Chelsea know that too.' Chukwuemeka has featured in all three games at the Club World Cup for Dortmund. According to FussballTransfers, a short-term loan agreement could be a part of the agreement that would see Jamie Gittens join Chelsea. GGFN | Daniel Pinder

What Did the Fan Say to Make Ketel Marte Cry? Here's What's Known

Diamondbacks' second baseman Ketel Marte's mom died tragically. Elpidia Valdez passed away in a 2017 car accident in the Dominican Republic, according to My Stateline. Thus, it's not surprising that Marte is still emotional about the topic. Advertisement Now a fan who taunted him about his mom has received his punishment. However, what the fan said exactly has not been revealed. What is known: The Diamondbacks' manager Torey Lovullo told AZCentral that he heard what the fan said to Marte but did not want to repeat it. A new TikTok video shows Lovullo yelling at the fan. The same TikTok page posted a video its creator says shows the fan being confronted by a security guard, but that has not been verified. 'Dumb f—,' Lovullo said, according to the New York Post, pointing at the fan. 'His mom died, you dumb f—. Dumb f—.' The fan "yelled derogatory comments about his deceased mother," AZCentral reported. The incident occurred in Chicago on June 24. Advertisement The 22-year-old fan, who has not been named, has been "banned" indefinitely from "all ballparks" in Major League Baseball, ESPN reported, citing a source. "Ketel Marte was in tears after a fan shouted something regarding his late mother that passed away in a car accident in 2017," wrote Barstool Baseball, sharing the video. "Manager Torey Lovullo and Geraldo Perdomo consoled him after the incident The fan was removed from the ballpark," the post says. The video shows Marte visible in tears. Marte's teammate Geraldo Perdomo urged Major League Baseball to take action against the man. 'That can't happen,' Perdomo said to AZ Central. 'Everybody knows how Ketel is. He's fun. He plays the game hard. I feel bad for him. I feel mad about it. I hope MLB can do something with that guy. I don't know who it was, but they've got to do something. We can't continue to do that (expletive) here in MLB.' Advertisement The fan showed remorse after making the comments, ESPN reported. Marte's mom died in the accident shortly after he had spoken to her on the phone, according to AZ Central.

Caitlin Clark Made Unfortunate History During Fever-Storm Game

Caitlin Clark Made Unfortunate History During Fever-Storm Game originally appeared on The Spun. The Indiana Fever picked up a much-needed win over the Seattle Storm on Tuesday night, but Caitlin Clark's struggles on the hardwood continued. Advertisement Clark had just six points in one of the worst shooting performances of her career. She went 3 for 13 from the field and failed to hit a single attempt from beyond the arc. Believe it or not, the sharpshooter from Iowa has made just one 3-pointer over the past three games. On top of her shooting woes, Clark has really struggled taking care of the basketball. She has recorded 22 turnovers during her three-game slump. On Tuesday night, Clark recorded more turnovers (8) than points (6) in a game for the first time in her career. That has led to fans questioning if everything is OK behind the scenes. "Something is wrong. She's walking off ball more than I've seen in over 5 years of watching her. She's got no spark. She's going through the motions but there's more going on than we know," one fan said. Advertisement "She's definitely in a shooting slump after returning from injury, it happens to most players. Her shot will land eventually," another fan wrote.

(Photo by Jeff Haynes/NBAE via Getty Images)Even though Clark struggled against the Storm, head coach Noelle Quinn had nothing but praise for the former No. 1 pick. "She is a matchup nightmare because she can pass, shoot and do a lot of good things on the basketball court," Noelle said, via Athlon Sports. "I like our attention to detail on her. I like how we're staying in plays. And I like that we're getting our hand up and making it difficult." The Fever will return to action Thursday night against the Los Angeles Sparks. That'll be their first home game since June 17. Advertisement We'll see if a return to Gainbridge Fieldhouse helps Clark break out of her shooting slump.
