Tyrone Hughes' 86-yard fumble recovery TD is the Saints Play of the Day
Tyrone Hughes' 86-yard fumble recovery TD is the Saints Play of the Day Our countdown to the start of the New Orleans Saints' 2025 season is down to 86 days, which makes this 86-yard fumble recovery by Tyrone Hughes the Saints Play of the Day. The Saints didn't win the day, or the battle, or the war, but we'll take it. Victories were few and far between in this long-running rivalry series with the San Francisco 49ers. Take wins when you can get them. Future Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker Sam Mills stripped the ball for a fumble, and it was recovered by Hughes, who returned it 86 yards for a touchdown -- a great moment of redemption for him after Hughes fumbled a punt to set up an early San Francisco touchdown. Hughes faked out Steve Young so badly on the return that the Pro Bowl quarterback lost his footing and fell to the turf. You can see it here for yourself. This was a rare highlight during what was otherwise a miserable series with San Francisco. The Saints beat the 49ers back-to-back between two games in the 1990 and 1991 seasons, but then went 2-14 over the next 16 meetings from 1991 to 1999. So every opportunity to thumb their noses at 49ers faithful was meaningful to the Who Dat Nation. As for Hughes? The New Orleans native went down in the history books as one of the better playmakers in franchise history, initially for his skills in the return game (he led the league in kickoff return yards every year from 1994 to 1996) but also for his nose for the end zone. He twice scored touchdowns on fumble recoveries and found paydirt three more times on special teams, twice on punt returns and one on a 99-yard kick return. He gave Saints fans something to cheer for when those things were hard to come by.

What FSG think about Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes' SENSATIONAL Florian Wirtz offer
Liverpool are locked in talks with Bayer Leverkusen over the signing of playmaker Florian Wirtz. The 22-year-old is widely expected to become a new Liverpool player in the near future with negotiations ongoing over the exact structure of the fee. Leverkusen are reported to be holding out for a maximum value of £126m but Liverpool are not content to pay all of it. Advertisement That's why talks in recent days are said to have been conducted over additional payments - which will end up making up a percentage of the overall fee paid for Wirtz. The 2023/24 Bundesliga champions are already reported to have turned down TWO bids from Liverpool that fell short of the mark. That said, sporting director Richard Hughes and FSG CEO of Football Michael Edwards are still expected to walk away from this high-stakes poker game with the biggest prize. FSG BLOWN AWAY by Hughes and Edwards And in a new report from TBR Football it's been revealed what Hughes and Edwards' paymasters at Fenway Sports Group think about these negotiations. Advertisement FSG have RARELY splashed out like this at Liverpool - reserving the majority of their big spending for the Boston Red Sox. But club bosses are said to be DELIGHTED at how talks are progressing for Wirtz - who will become the most expensive-ever signing in English football history. 'I really can't explain just how happy Liverpool are behind the scenes with this deal. FSG, the club's owners, are blown away by the work of Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes – those two have put so much work into this move, not just this month but the lead-up to it also,' transfer expert Graeme Bailey said. © IMAGO - John Henry FSG Reds are flexing their muscle 'Liverpool are the Premier League's best on the field, and it's hard to argue they are the best off the field now too.' Advertisement Liverpool under Hughes have largely sat out the transfer windows up until now. They signed Federico Chiesa last summer and added Giorgi Mamardashvili while allowing him to stay on loan at Valencia. There were no signings, meanwhile, in the January window. Allied with sales including Sepp van den Berg and Fabio Carvalho, it gave Liverpool a significant budget heading into this summer. With Premier League-winning prize money, increased Champions League participation fees, new sponsorships secured, a new stand providing more matchday income and a fresh kit deal with Adidas, the future is certainly looking rosy for the Reds - who are about to flex their muscles in the market.

PFL announces title eliminator for Usman Nurmagomedov; Paul Hughes calls out 'rage bait'
PFL will determine the next title challenger for lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov this month, much to the dismay of Paul Hughes. The promotion announced on Friday that a lightweight title eliminator between Mansour Barnaouri and Archie Colgan has been added to its 2025 PFL World Tournament 6 event on June 20, which takes place at INTRUST Bank Arena in Wichita, Kan. (ESPN, ESPN+). Advertisement According to the announcement post, the winner will be granted a fight against undefeated 155-pound Champions Series titleholder Nurmagomedov (19-0), who hasn't competed since a thrilling victory over Hughes (14-2) in January. The news seemingly came as a surprise and frustration to Hughes, who called for a rematch with Nurmagomedov after a quick knockout win over Bruno Miranda at 2025 PFL Europe 1 in Belfast in May. He quickly replied to the announcement post, labeling it as "rage bait." Barnaouri (22-6) is coming off a third-round submission of surging prospect Alfie Davis in November, which came after a first-roudn finish of Yusuke Yachi in May. Colgan (11-0), meanwhile, has put together an undefeated career so far that is highlighted by wins over former Bellator title contender Emmanuel Sanchez and UFC veteran Thibault Gouti. The latest lineup for 2025 PFL World Tournament 6 now includes: Gadzhi Rabadanov vs. Kevin Lee Liz Carmouche vs. Elora Dana Mansour Barnaoui vs. Archie Colgan Mando Gutierrez vs. Justin Wetzell Marcirley Alves da Silva vs. Jake Hadley Alfie Davis vs. Brent Primus Jena Bishop vs. Katerina Shakalova Sarvadzhon Khamidov vs. Magomed Magomedov Antonio Caruso vs. Vinicius Cenci Darragh Kelly vs. Chuka Willis Lazaro Dayron vs. Matheus Mattos Ilara Joanne vs. Saray Orozco Alan Dominguez vs. Nick Meck This article originally appeared on MMA Junkie: PFL announces Nurmagomedov title eliminator; Hughes reacts
