Seahawks coach sounds off on ‘crazy' Sam Darnold QB controversy after $100 million star's rough practice
Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald isn't opening the door to a Sam Darnold quarterback controversy. Speaking Tuesday on Seattle Sports 710-AM, the second-year coach quelled any speculation that the team's $100 million acquisition could lose the role of QB1 before the start of the season. 'No, you guys are crazy,' Macdonald replied when asked if anything except injury would loosen Darnold's grip on the job, per ESPN. 'I respect that you've got to ask it, but it's just a crazy question. It's just not going to happen. Sam's our starting quarterback. We love him. He's doing a tremendous job.'

Advertisement Macdonald, 37, responded to Tuesday's question after Seattle took a spin on the Darnold roller-coaster at OTAs this week, when he tossed two interceptions in a brief span.

We want these guys to go prepare the right way and then when they go out on the practice field, go freaking let it rip and then we'll go fix it. … We've got time. It's June 3 … They're going to get plenty of reps. We'll get those things fixed.'

AP The NFL journeyman — whose previous stops included the Jets, Panthers and Niners — came crashing back down to earth in the playoffs, with the Vikings being routed by the Rams in the wild-card round, 27-9. Darnold tossed a touchdown and an interception, and was sacked nine times. Advertisement The Vikings are moving forward with last year's first-round pick, quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who missed last season due to a knee injury. 5 Sam Darnold is coming off a career year with the Vikings. Bill Kostroun for New York Post Prior to Darnold's arrival, the Seahawks moved on from quarterback Geno Smith, trading the fellow ex-Jet to the Raiders in March after missing the playoffs following a 10-7 campaign. Even with the Seahawks all-in on Darnold, they do have a $37.5 million escape hatch in the event they want to get out of the union after a year. Seattle also has insurance in former backup quarterback Drew Lock, who rejoined the team in April after a stint with the Giants, and rookie Jalen Milroe, taken in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Alabama. Darnold and the Seahawks host the Niners in their season opener on Sept. 7.

At least 11 people die in a stampede outside a cricket stadium in India after IPL win
BENGALURU, India (AP) — At least 11 people are dead and more than 30 injured after a stampede on Wednesday as crowds tried to enter a cricket stadium in southern India's Karnataka state, authorities said. The crush happened as tens of thousands of cricket fans gathered outside the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru city to celebrate the winners of the Indian Premier League, the world's most popular T20 cricket tournament. Karnataka state's Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who only uses one name, said the crowd tried to break one of the stadium's gates and enter to take part in celebrations. Eleven people were killed and 33 others were injured, Siddaramaiah said, adding that most of the injured were stable and receiving treatment in hospitals. 'At a time of celebration, this unfortunate event should not have happened. We are saddened by this,' he told reporters. 'No one expected this crowd,' he said. Cricket fans had come out to celebrate Royal Challengers Bengaluru's first Indian Premier League title win on Tuesday . The team had given away free passes to fans for the event through its website, and urged them to follow guidelines set by police and authorities. Local TV news channels showed some people stretched out on the ground and emergency personnel carrying people into ambulances, while celebrations inside the stadium continued. D.K. Shivakumar, the deputy chief minister of Karnataka state, told reporters that 'the crowd was very uncontrollable.' The Board of Control for Cricket in India, which organizes the IPL, in a statement called the incident 'unfortunate.' 'This is a negative side of popularity. People are crazy for their cricketers. The organizers should have planned it better,' BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said. Stampedes are relatively common in India when large crowds gather. In January, at least 30 people were killed as tens of thousands of Hindus rushed to bathe in a sacred river during the Maha Kumbh festival , the world's largest religious gathering. Error!
