Mohamed Salah gives telling reaction after Declan Rice makes Premier League title admission
Salah glanced at team-mate after Rice admission Liverpool beat Arsenal to title last season Egyptian claimed PFA Players' Player of the Year Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? Salah and Rice were both included in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year during the awards ceremony on Tuesday night. The Egypt international's Liverpool side beat the England midfielder's Arsenal to win the Premier League title last year, with ten points ultimately separating the two clubs. THE BIGGER PICTURE Rice was interviewed on stage and admitted finishing second three seasons in a row has been "really tough" for the Gunners, who are hoping to finally make that last step to claim more silverware with manager Mikel Arteta. Salah appeared to glance towards Reds team-mate Virgil van Dijk, though it looked to be a fleeting moment with little malicious intent. WHAT RICE SAID Rice said: "It's been really tough, coming second three years in a row. But I've said it before, in life you've got to go through some small losses in order to win and we're going to keep going, we're going to keep pushing, and hopefully something can come for us." DID YOU KNOW? Salah himself knows what it's like to perform exceptionally without the reward of silverware. Liverpool were beaten in the 2018 Champions League final before winning the competition a year later, while the Merseysiders often came second in thrilling title races with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City. WHAT NEXT? Arsenal and Liverpool both picked up victories during the opening weekend of the 2025-26 Premier League season. Salah, who won the PFA Players' Player of the Year award, will be in action at Newcastle on Monday night, while Arsenal host Leeds on Saturday.

Yankees' Ben Rice joins Lou Gehrig in exclusive New York franchise history for RBI record
Yankees' Ben Rice joins Lou Gehrig in exclusive New York franchise history for RBI record originally appeared on The Sporting News Believe it or not, this was not the first seven-RBI game of Ben Rice's New York Yankees career. And because that's true, it means he joins one of the most exclusive, impressive lists that a Yankee can be on. Prior to Saturday night, there was only one first baseman who had multiple seven-RBI games for the Yankees, and his name was Lou Gehrig. He had nine, for the record. Now Rice has two. He joins the multi-7-RBI-game club. MORE: Juan Soto, Josh Naylor and Cal Raleigh are making stolen bases cool again The Yankees needed all of that Rice production in a crazy 12-8 win over the Cardinals. He came through for the first time in the top of the fourth inning, with the Yankees down 5-3. With two runners on, Rice crushed a no-doubt home run to right field for a 6-5 lead. That was still the score two frames later when Rice came to the plate with the bases loaded and emptied them with a three-run double. It was simpler in the seventh, when Rice delivered an RBI single to make it 11-7 Yankees. MORE: Phillies' pitcher Matt Strahm has the funniest reason for investing in Pokemon cards The lefty swinger ended the night 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and a walk in addition to the seven runs driven in. He raised his season average to .240 and his season OPS to .804. Rice even overshadowed the fact that Aaron Judge hit a home run against the Cardinals to complete the list of having gone deep against all 29 other MLB teams. The slumping Yankees needed a night like this. Rice provided it, and now he's got his name second on a list that previously only included the superhero Gehrig.

NFL Insider Provides New Update on Chiefs' Rashee Rice
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. The Kansas City Chiefs and their fans are still licking their wounds after the team's lopsided loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIV. That loss prevented it from becoming the first team to ever claim three straight Vince Lombardi Trophies. While some may be counting out the Chiefs for this season, Patrick Mahomes and crew are still expected to do a good amount of damage, if not return to the big game. The biggest concern for Kansas City right now appears to be wide receiver Rashee Rice's impending suspension. ESPN insider Adam Schefter reported a couple of days ago that Rice is expected to have his disciplinary hearing with the NFL on Sept. 30, which seems to indicate that Rice will be able to play in at least the first four games of the regular season. Read more: Chiefs Get Major Update on Rashee Rice's Looming Suspension According to another ESPN insider -- Tom Pelissero -- the league wants to suspend Rice for a long stretch of games. "The expectation is Rashee Rice is going to be suspended for a portion of the 2025 season," Pelissero reported. "The question now is how much? My understanding is the NFL initially proposed a lengthy suspension — double-digit games for Rashee Rice — the players union and Rice's attorney and agents argued for a much shorter suspension, in part, because there is no precedent for suspending someone for over half the season in a case like this." The NFL initially proposed a lengthy suspension that would sideline #Chiefs WR Rashee Rice for over half the season. And while a Sept. 30 hearing date has been set, it's still possible a settlement could be reached before the season. @NFLGameDay @nflnetwork — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) August 15, 2025 In fact, Pelissero said that there isn't any real clarity on when Rice would serve his likely suspension, and that it could still come during the beginning of the schedule. "There is still a possibility the sides could come together and agree to a settlement on a suspension that would allow Rice to be suspended at the start of the season," Pelissero added. "If not, he would be eligible for at least those first (four) games, but given the fact that not only the decision-making process but potential appeals could extend that process into October or November, this is something then that could jeopardize his availability for the postseason." Read more: Chargers Urged to Trade Key Wide Receiver Before Start of Regular Season Over the last couple of years, Rice has started to emerge as a legitimate threat for the Chiefs. As a rookie in 2023, he caught 79 passes for 938 yards and seven touchdowns, and last year, he had 24 catches, 288 yards and two touchdowns before a knee injury prematurely ended his season. They have lacked a legitimate star wide receiver ever since trading Tyreek Hill, an eight-time Pro Bowler, in 2022. KANSAS CITY, MO - SEPTEMBER 15:Rashee Rice #4 of the Kansas City Chiefs catches a pass during the fourth quarter of an NFL football game against the Cincinnati Bengals at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium... KANSAS CITY, MO - SEPTEMBER 15:Rashee Rice #4 of the Kansas City Chiefs catches a pass during the fourth quarter of an NFL football game against the Cincinnati Bengals at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on September 15, 2024 in Kansas City, Missouri. Rashee Rice sustains knee injury in Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. MoreBut Rice seems to be on his way to perhaps becoming one. Additionally, speedster wideout Xavier Worthy showed some promise as a rookie in 2024 with 742 total yards from scrimmage and nine touchdowns. Their tag-team duo of Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt at running back looks rock solid, as does their defense, which was fourth in points allowed last year. Any team with Mahomes on it can beat any other team, especially in high-leverage situations, and he could have as many weapons around him as he has had in a couple of years -- when Rice is available to play.
