AFL fans react to Geelong's t-shirt stunt ahead of Patrick Dangerfield's 350th career game - as Brisbane Lions flex their premiership muscles
Geelong's bold decision to fill GMHBA Stadium with a sea of white t-shirts ahead of their clash with Brisbane on Friday night backfired after the Lions cruised to a 41-point victory. The away side didn't read the script, kicking four early goals to assume control in what was a statement performance. The triumph also ended the club's long losing run in Geelong. Promoted pre-game as 'a sight to behold' and a 'slice of history' on the Geelong website, the Cats decked out every seat at the venue with white t-shirts. It is a move often seen in US sports, with the Indiana Pacers and OKC Thunder doing so in the NBA Finals. On a night when the club was also celebrating captain Patrick Dangerfield's milestone 350th AFL appearance, the commentators backed the concept. 'They have kitted out the Cattery with the white T-shirts on every seat, inspiration drawn from the NBA and college football in the US,' Gerard Whateley said on Fox Footy. 'It is quite the sight as the local heroes emerge onto the field. 'Patrick Dangerfield said one of his favourite parts of this would be (his children) Winnie, 'Flip' (Felicity) and George joining him to run through the banner. 'All the kids are fully aware of what they're part of, his place in Geelong folklore, which grows tonight, game (what is) a special night.' But numerous footy fans weren't on the same page, taking to X to question the move from the Cats. 'Lol white out is a roaring success so far,' one posted before halftime as Brisbane assumed control. 'I don't think the white out worked,' said another. 'White out turning into a whitewash,' a third weighed in with.

Tom Brady rips an Eli Manning jersey apart in ultimate act of disrespect towards his former nemesis
Tom Brady brutally trolled his former rival Eli Manning on Friday by ripping his New York Giants jersey in half. The seven-time Super Bowl champion made an appearance at Fanatics Fest in New York City, much to the delight of the thousands of fans in attendance. Brady spoke to some of the crowd at Manhattan's Javits Center before then taking part in a WWE-style performance later on. The Fox commentator came out to the theme song of pro wrestler Cody Rhodes wearing sunglasses and carrying a WWE-style championship belt. But, as he made his way down to the walkway, Brady was presented with a Giants jersey that had 'Manning 10' on the back. The former New England Patriots quarterback then ripped the jersey in half in a playful dig at Manning. Brady's actions prompted Manning, who was watching on, to storm the stage and climb on his rival's back. Their rivalry dates back to their stellar NFL careers, when Manning and the Giants were able to briefly halt the Patriots' dominant run to beat them in two Super Bowls. The Giants stunned Bill Belichick's team to win 17-14 in Arizona in 2008, despite being heavy underdogs after Brady led his men to a perfect 16-0 regular season. Then, four years after, the Patriots were stunned by the Giants again when they were beaten 21-17 in Indianapolis. Manning was named Super Bowl MVP that year. Brady and Manning quickly regained their composure and were later pictured competing against each other in a baseball pitching contest.

NFL WAG Kristin Juszczyk put through grueling workout by husband Kyle
Couples who train together, stay together - that's if San Francisco 49ers star Kyle Juszczyk and wife Kristin are anything to go by. The fashion designer was put through her paces by her NFL beau Friday when she joined him in a grueling preseason workout. With the 2025 NFL season looming, the fullback began ramping up his preparation, taking to the field to run a series of drills and Kristin joined him for a 'dreaded 'come train with me"' day. Kristin, whose sports-inspired designs blew up after Taylor Swift wore one her custom puffer jackets to a Kansas City Chiefs game, shared a video to Instagram Friday showing her mimicking her husband's workouts to Survivor's 'Eye of the Tiger.' The entrepreneur, who married the Niner in 2019, copied Kyle as he tossed a medicine ball over his head and carried out a plank, crunches and sprints among other drills. On the whole, Kristin managed to hold her own, only occasionally losing her balance and failing to launch the weighted ball as far as her partner. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kristin Juszczyk (@kristinjuszczyk) The fashion designer was captured mimicking her NFL beau's tough training regime Social media users were left impressed in the comment section, with one writing: 'Honestly crushed it.' 'He's not taking it easy on you at all lol,' another claimed, while a third added: 'Ok but you held your own during that workout- slaaaayed it!' The couple have endured a turbulent offseason, with Kyle, at one point, appearing likely to return to the Bay Area next season. Kyle was cut by the Niners in March following eight seasons with the team, only for San Francisco to sign him to a new contract just four days later. The 49ers had initially decided to cut Kyle, instead of paying him a $4.1m salary this season and up to an additional $500,000 in offseason workout and per-game roster bonuses. The team took on a $3.6m dead cap charge with the move but brought him back on a new two-year, $8million contract. He was also nearly cut last season but agreed to take a pay cut to stay in San Francisco. Juszczyk began his career with the Baltimore Ravens after they picked him in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft. The 33-year-old was one of the first players signed after 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch took over in 2017 and has been a key part of the offense since then thanks to his versatility. Kyle faced a turbulent offseason after being cut by the 49ers only to later sign a new deal In an era when few teams use fullbacks, Juszczyk has played about half the offensive snaps during his time with San Francisco and has made the Pro Bowl all eight seasons with the team and nine times overall. He was a first-team All-Pro in 2023 and second-teamer in 2024 after fullbacks were added back as a position for All-Pro the past two years. Juszczyk had 19 catches for 200 yards and two touchdowns last season, while also rushing for 26 yards and a touchdown. He has 184 catches for 1,895 yards and 13 touchdowns in eight seasons with the Niners, along with 237 yards rushing and six more touchdowns on the ground.
