Josh Allen accused of using marriage to Hailee Steinfeld as leverage in bold demand to Bills front office
The pressure is mounting in Buffalo, and no one feels it more than Josh Allen. Fresh off his high-profile wedding to actress Hailee Steinfeld, the reigning NFL MVP is entering the 2025 season with sky-high expectations—and he's reportedly making bold demands behind the scenes.

's postseason curse against Patrick Mahomes is haunting his legacy
According to multiple reports, Josh Allen has made a 'strong request' to the Buffalo Bills front office in hopes of elevating the team's offense ahead of what could be a make-or-break Super Bowl run. While the exact nature of the request remains under wraps, insiders point to Allen's urgent desire for more reliable receiving talent after back-to-back playoff heartbreaks.

Allen's 0-4 playoff record against Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is becoming a defining obstacle.
Despite Allen's brilliance under center, Mahomes has repeatedly shut the door on Buffalo's championship hopes. The Bills have come close, but the narrative is clear: until Allen conquers Mahomes, the Super Bowl remains out of reach.
This season, however, could be different. Mahomes and the Chiefs have a less certain offensive outlook, and the AFC feels more open than in years past. Allen, entering his prime, knows time is ticking—and fans are seeing a more vocal and determined leader off the field.

With Stefon Diggs gone, Josh Allen may push for new weapons—like Jauan Jennings
Last year, Allen lost top receivers Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis, yet still managed to lead an offense that ranked second in the NFL with 30.9 points per game. Heading into 2025, second-year receiver Keon Coleman is projected to be the top target—but that may not be enough.
Rumors are swirling around San Francisco 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings, who is reportedly unhappy with his current deal and open to a trade. ESPN's Adam Schefter notes Jennings wants an extension, and if the 49ers don't deliver, 'he'd like to be traded.'
Jennings recorded 975 yards and six touchdowns in 15 games last season—a breakout campaign.
But acquiring Jennings won't be easy. The Bills are tight on cap space, and Jennings' projected extension—two years, $20 million—could complicate any move.

IND vs ENG 4th Test: 'Shubman Gill gave me complete backing behind the scenes,' says Sai Sudharsan
Divya Deshmukh (Sahil Malhotra/ in Manchester: On a day when India's batters showed grit against England's disciplined attack, Sai Sudharsan credited India's Test captain Shubman Gill for his calm guidance that helped him craft a vital 61 off 151 balls on Day 1 of the fourth Test at Old Trafford. 'After first game, Shubi (Shubman Gill) gave me complete backing behind the scenes. He tells everybody clearly. It's been same Shubi from IPL,' Sudharsan told reporters in the press conference after the day's play on Wednesday. Sudharsan, who replaced Karun Nair in the playing XI, looked composed even on a challenging surface that offered inconsistent bounce and seam movement. 'There was variable bounce, two-paced wicket. Throughout the day, the ball was moving and was doing something off the pitch,' he explained. The young left-hander was candid about his dismissal, a mistimed pull to fine leg. 'I didn't know how I edged it down the leg. England do it quite often for other batters too. I was quite aware coming into this game,' he said. Despite the pressure of a comeback Test, Sudharsan insisted he was focused on playing for the team. 'I am not looking at this as pressure but an opportunity to express myself. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gold Is Surging in 2025 — Smart Traders Are Already In IC Markets Learn More Undo I wanted to play the situation and do well for the team,' he further said.

'Rishabh Pant was in a lot of pain. He was batting really well today as well,' he remarked, hinting at a possible concern for the team management ahead of Day 2. India finished Day 1 at 264/4, with Ravindra Jadeja (19 not out) and Shardul Thakur (19 not out) holding fort. Yashasvi Jaiswal (58) and Sudharsan's composed innings has given India a solid platform, but Pant's injury could be the key talking point moving forward.

According to The New York Times via social media on July 23, 2025, ESPN is aiming to buy NFL RedZone and NFL Network in a deal worth over $2 billion. The news came out today and it's a big surprise.

The NFL might also get some ownership in ESPN in exchange, creating a deeper partnership with Disney, ESPN's parent company. Scott Hanson confirms NFL RedZone return amid ESPN takeover talks Scott Hanson, who has hosted NFL RedZone since 2009, renewed his contract for another season with NFL Network in May 2025. He faced tough talks, calling them 'knock‑down, drag‑out negotiations' and admitted he almost left for NBC's Olympic coverage.
