Jacksonville, FL – Cam Little of the Jacksonville Jaguars connected on a remarkable 70-yard field goal in the final moments of the first half of Saturday’s preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a contest the Steelers ultimately won 31-25.
The prodigious kick, a personal best for Little, landed just shy of the end zone and set a new Jacksonville Jaguars franchise record for the longest field goal. The attempt, executed with considerable force, completed the second half for the Jaguars, culminating in a 31-25 defeat.
The Steelers dominated the first half, capitalizing on several Jaguars miscues. While Little’s remarkable kick showcased the potential of the Jaguars’ special teams unit, the team struggled to maintain offensive momentum against a resilient Pittsburgh defense.
Following the game, Little acknowledged the difficulty of the kick, stating, “It was a high-risk, high-reward situation, and thankfully, it paid off.”
The Jaguars will continue their preseason schedule, utilizing these games to evaluate roster depth and assess player performance leading up to the start of the regular season. The 70-yard kick, however, is sure to generate significant buzz amongst fans and analysts alike.
La historia de la NFL ha sido escrita con momentos de pura genialidad, y el reciente intento de 70 yardas de Cam Little, kicker de los Jacksonville Jaguars, es un claro ejemplo. El domingo por la noche, durante un partido de pretemporada contra los Pittsburgh Steelers, Little no solo sorprendió, sino que, según la definición que vamos a utilizar, estableció un nuevo récord en la NFL. Aunque la NFL sólo registra oficialmente dos de estos intentos, nos divertiremos explorando los cinco kicks de campo más largos de la historia, tanto en pretemporada como en temporada regular.
La historia del intento de 70 yardas de Cam Little es particularmente significativa. En un partido de pretemporada, Little logró un golpe de campo de 70 yardas, una distancia que nunca antes se había visto en la NFL. Si bien la NFL no reconoce oficialmente estos intentos, la hazaña de Little merece ser celebrada, y es la base de nuestra lista de los cinco kicks de campo más largos de la historia.

Este recorrido por los kicks de campo más largos de la NFL ilustra la capacidad y el riesgo que los kickers asumen en cada partido. La distancia que logran alcanzar a menudo desafía la lógica y demuestra la habilidad de estos atletas para controlar la potencia y la precisión. Desde los intentos más recientes como el de Cam Little hasta la hazaña de Ola Kimrin en 2002, cada kick de campo en esta lista representa un momento de gran impacto en el juego. La búsqueda de la distancia perfecta continúa, impulsando a los kickers a superar los límites de lo posible en el campo de fútbol americano.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — El rugoso golpe de Cam Little del Jacksonville Jaguar de 70 yardas al final de la primera mitad contra los Steelers en un juego de exhibición del sábado por la noche, un golpe que rompería el récord de la NFL si hubiera ocurrido durante la temporada regular.
Little y los Jaguar celebraron ampliamente mientras terminaba la mitad con los Steelers liderando 14-9. El novato sensación Travis Hunter fue uno de los primeros en saludarlo en el campo, chocando cuerpo a cuerpo en el aire.
Justin Tucker de los Baltimore Ravens mantiene el récord de la NFL, habiendo realizado uno de 66 yardas en Detroit en 2021.
Little, un seleccionado en la sexta ronda del draft de 2024 procedente de Arkansas, realizó 27 de 29 intentos de gol en su primera temporada y todos los 27 puntos extras. Su golpe largo fue de 59 yardas.
Parecía saber desde el principio que su último golpe era bueno. Observó atentamente y golpeó el puño mientras se deslizaba un poco a la izquierda y superaba la travesía por varios yardas — lo suficientemente lejos como para que el niño que lleva el balón lo atrapara en el aire.
Kelly Clarkson’s ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, vivió sus últimos meses en paz en Montana, donde se sentía “en casa”.
Blackstock, quien fue su ex-manager, compró una casa de 1,8 millones de dólares en Butte, Montana, poco más de un mes después de que su divorcio de 2022 se concretara. La pareja comenzó a salir en 2012, casándose poco más de un año después en octubre de 2013.
“Brandon vivió una vida tranquila en Montana. Eso era lo que quería”, declaró una fuente exclusivamente a *Us Weekly* el viernes 8 de agosto. “Aunque trabajó en el mundo del entretenimiento en el pasado, esa no era su personalidad. Estaba en casa en Montana.”
La carrera previa de Blackstock como manager de talentos comenzó con Starstruck Entertainment, propiedad de su padre, Narvel Blackstock, quien continúa dirigiendo la empresa, trabajando con Blake Shelton y otros artistas. Blackstock más tarde fundó Valley View Rodeo en Montana.

“Tenía su rancho y rodeo, pero prefería estar bajo el radar”, agregó la fuente. “Algunas de las personas que trabajaban con él en Starstruck [Entertainment] terminaron moviéndose a Montana para trabajar en el rodeo con él.”
Blackstock estaba viviendo en su rancho cuando su salud “dio un giro muy malo” dentro del último año, según la fuente.
“Si bien ‘se estaba enfocando en su tratamiento’, también ‘pasaba mucho tiempo con su familia en los últimos seis meses, más que nunca antes’”, agregó el informante.

Aunque Clarkson “no estaba cuidando a Brandon”, según la fuente, la presentadora de talk shows hizo que el tiempo de sus hijos con su padre fuera su prioridad.
“Ella sí pasaba mucho tiempo viajando con sus hijos para estar con él”, continuó la fuente de la relación del ex pareja, hasta la muerte de Blackstock el jueves 7 de agosto, después de una batalla privada de tres años contra el cáncer. Tenía 48 años.
Clarkson, 43, y Blackstock compartieron la hija River Rose y el hijo Remington James. Blackstock también está sobrevivido por sus dos hijos, Savannah y Seth, de su primer matrimonio con Melissa Ashworth.
Savannah, quien dio a luz a su propio hijo Lake en 2022, estaba “con él casi todo el tiempo”. “Ella ha estado teniendo un tiempo increíblemente difícil. Estaban muy cerca. Todos están en shock.”
La fuente agregó, “Brandon estaba viajando y haciendo cosas. Incluso hace unos meses parecía bien. Se veía delgado pero se veía como él. Nadie puede creerlo.”

Ser padre, abuelo y hombre de familia eran lo más importante para él.
“Le encantaba tener a su familia con él y le encantaba cuando los niños visitaban”, dijo la fuente. “Le encantaban sus animales y eso era una pasión que compartía con su hija Savannah.”
Billy Joel’s ex-wife Elizabeth Weber is opening up about their marriage and what really led to her leaving her first husband, Jon Small, for the famed singer.
“I never thought of Bill as the homewrecker,” Weber exclusively told *Us Weekly* on Friday, August 8, adding that she needed to “tread carefully” because “Jon and I didn’t have a great romance.”
Weber first met Joel when she was married to his best friend and bandmate, Small. The pair engaged in an affair that was credited for breaking up the band and negatively impacting Joel’s mental health, which at one point included a deep depression and two suicide attempts.
The affair was discussed in the new, two-part HBO documentary *Billy Joel: And So It Goes*, which premiered in July. In it, Joel touches on the infidelity, going on to describe the feeling of being what he perceived to be a homewrecker.
How Many Wives Has Billy Joel Had? His Marriage and Divorce History
“The home was wrecked,” she added. “We didn’t have a deep connection, Jon and I. Almost in a way, my life began again when my son was born. Sean just lit up every room. He was an adorable, precocious child. So I really never thought of Bill as a homewrecker because there wasn’t much home to wreck.”
In the doc, Joel told filmmakers that he “was just in love with a woman, and I got punched in the nose, which I deserved.”
After attempting to take his own life for a second time following the band’s split and in the midst of his depression, Small took Joel to the hospital — saving his life.
“He never really said anything to me,” Small said in the documentary. “The only practical answer I can give as to why Billy took it so hard was because he loved me that much and that it killed him to hurt me that much. Eventually I forgave him.”

Joel and Weber later reconnected following the fallout of the affair and said “I do” in 1973, going on to spend nearly 10 years together before their 1982 divorce. Joel went on to marry Christie Brinkley in 1985, welcoming daughter Alexa Ray Joel before calling it quits in 1994. Joel then married cookbook author Katie Lee in 2004 — the pair divorced five years later in 2009. In 2015, Joel married Alex Roderick. The pair share two children, Della Rose Joel and Remy Anne Joel.
“Bill and I became, like, an arc,” Weber explained to *Us* of their previous relationship. “We were unto ourselves with Sean. So, I wasn’t seeking anyone’s approval because while I don’t really play an instrument anymore, I’m kind of rock and roll, too. I’m outside of the boundaries. And I decided in those days that I wanted to live a certain life.”
Weber describes her current relationship with Joel as friendly, but not particularly close, telling *Us*, “If I wanna talk to him or if I have something to say, I am able to contact him whenever I want to.”

“But, he has a wife and he has children and, right now, he’s struggling with something that’s … that’s a big thing,” she added. “So [our relationship is] as close as it needs to be for two people who decided to divorce 40 years ago.”
In May, Joel canceled his remaining 2025 tour dates after revealing he had received a normal pressure hydrocephalus diagnosis, a brain condition where abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid that can cause walking, memory, balance and bladder control issues.
“I have my grandchildren that he knows and they know him,” Webber continued of their relationship in the midst of his diagnosis. “And his relationship with Sean is important to both of them. So we’re not distant, but we’re, you know, and he lives in Florida and I live in California. But it’s all good.”

“That’s the nature of the negotiation. If you look at any negotiations around the league right now…I think they’ve all negotiated a trade. We have no intention of trading Micah.”

“Unfortunately, I no longer want to be here,” Parsons wrote on Twitter/X last Friday afternoon. “I no longer want to be held to closed door negotiations without my agent present. I no longer want shots taken at me for getting injured while laying it on the line for the organization, our fans and my teammates. I no longer want narratives created and spread to the media about me.”
Since entering the NFL via the 2021 Draft out of Penn State, Parsons has evolved into one of the best defensive players in the league. Over his four years with the Cowboys, Parsons has been named a two-time First Team All-Pro, a one-time Second Team All-Pro and a four-time Pro Bowler. The star linebacker will head into the 2025 season on the final year of his rookie contract.
Parsons claims that Dallas won’t speak with agent about contract
Standout defensive players around the league, such as New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner and Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end T.J. Watt, have received lucrative contracts in recent weeks. However, Parsons remains unsigned and now wants to continue his NFL journey elsewhere.
“Up to today the team has not had a single conversation with my agent about a contract,” Parsons continued. “Not one demand has been made by my agent about money, years or anything else. Still, I stayed quiet but again after repeated shots at myself and all the narratives I have made a tough decision I no longer want to play for the Dallas Cowboys. My trade request has been submitted to Stephen Jones personally.”
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb commented on the contract dispute on Saturday, revealing that he was disappointed in how the process has played out. The former Oklahoma wide receiver signed four-year, $136 million contract extension with the Cowboys prior to the 2024 season.
“I feel like he’s gonna be here,” Lamb said, via *The Athletic’s* Jon Machota. “Reaction was crazy. A little disappointed (in the process). But it is what it is. You gotta do what you gotta do and he’s gotta do what’s best for him and his family.”
Dallas opens the 2025 NFL season against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sep. 4. The game will kick at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
Nueva York, 9 de Agosto de 2025 – En medio de una temporada particularmente difícil para los New York Yankees, el ícono del béisbol Joe Torre ha ofrecido sus “condolencias” a su antiguo sucesor en el banquillo, Aaron Boone. La jugada, aunque parezca inusual, refleja la continua dinámica de relaciones en el mundo del béisbol y la preocupación por el rendimiento de su equipo.
Según fuentes cercanas a la situación, Torre, quien dirigió a los Yankees durante 12 años exitosos, se comunicó con Boone a través de un mensaje privado el viernes. El mensaje, en esencia, ofrecía apoyo en un momento que ha sido particularmente complicado para el manager de los Yankees.
“Joe siempre ha sido un líder en el béisbol y valora la honestidad y el respeto,” declaró un portavoz de Torre. “Reconoce los desafíos que enfrenta Aaron y quiere ofrecerle su apoyo en este momento.”
La temporada actual de los Yankees ha estado plagada de problemas. Un rendimiento inconsistente bateando, errores defensivos y una racha de victorias decepcionante han sumido a los aficionados en una profunda frustración. La prensa deportiva ha criticado fuertemente la gestión de Boone, aunque muchos también le han dado tiempo para corregir el rumbo.
Boone, quien asumió el cargo en 2017, ha estado bajo presión constante desde el principio. A pesar de algunos momentos brillantes, el equipo ha luchado por alcanzar el nivel de competencia esperado y la gestión de los jugadores ha sido objeto de escrutinio.
Este gesto de Torre, aunque considerado inesperado, subraya la importancia de las conexiones dentro de la liga y la necesidad de apoyo, incluso en momentos de dificultades. La relación entre dos figuras prominentes del béisbol, que alguna vez estuvieron alineadas, sigue siendo un ejemplo de la forma en que el deporte puede conectar a líderes y fomentar la comunicación, incluso cuando las estadísticas no están del lado de un equipo.
La prensa deportiva está monitoreando de cerca los próximos movimientos de Boone y la reacción del equipo. Se espera que un breve resurgimiento en el rendimiento pueda aliviar parte de la presión. Sin embargo, el futuro de Boone como manager de los Yankees sigue siendo incierto.
Palabras clave: Joe Torre, Aaron Boone, Yankees, Béisbol, Nueva York, Condolencias, Rendimiento, Liga Americana, Press Deportiva.
Los Angeles, California – 9 de agosto de 2025 – El veterano lanzador Max Scherzer de los Texas Rangers le demostró a Clayton Kershaw, ahora miembro de los Los Angeles Dodgers, un gesto de respeto y admiración, bajando la cabeza y estrechándole la mano en un encuentro privado después del partido de ayer. La conmovedora escena, grabada por aficionados y difundida rápidamente en redes sociales, ha generado un torrente de reacciones positivas y ha reavivado el debate sobre el legado de Kershaw.
Scherzer, conocido por su profesionalismo y deportividad, ha sido un firme admirador de Kershaw a lo largo de su carrera. “Clayton es un leyenda, un ganador, y un tipo increíblemente duro de trabajo,” declaró Scherzer en una breve entrevista después del encuentro. “Siempre he admirado su dedicación y su compromiso con el juego. Es un honor haber compartido el diamante con él.”
La interacción ocurrió después de un juego de liga entre los Rangers y los Dodgers, donde ambos equipos se encontraban en una rivalidad amistosa. Aunque los Rangers se llevaron la victoria por un apretado 3-2, el ambiente en el campo permaneció respetuoso y colaborativo, facilitando el encuentro entre los dos jugadores.
Kershaw, que ha estado pasando un tiempo en Los Angeles recuperándose de lesiones recientes, se encontró con Scherzer en el área y los dos lanzadores optaron por intercambiar unas palabras y un apretón de manos. La imagen de Scherzer bajando la cabeza mientras estrechaba la mano a Kershaw es un símbolo de deportividad y respeto mutuo dentro del mundo del béisbol.
“Es genial poder conectar con jugadores que has admirado durante tu carrera,” dijo Kershaw en una publicación en redes sociales. “Max es un profesional y un gigante del juego. Gracias por el respeto, Max.”
Este gesto ha sido interpretado como un reconocimiento del legado de Kershaw, que ha ganado múltiples premios Cy Young, un campeonato de la Serie Mundial y es ampliamente considerado como uno de los mejores lanzadores de todos los tiempos.
El béisbol es conocido por su tradición de respeto entre los jugadores, y este encuentro entre Scherzer y Kershaw reafirma ese valor. No solo representa el agradecimiento de Scherzer por la carrera de Kershaw, sino también un testimonio del compañerismo y el respeto que prevalecen incluso entre rivales en el diamante.
Palabras clave: Max Scherzer, Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers, Texas Rangers, MLB, Béisbol, Deportividad, Respeto, Legado, Campeonato Serie Mundial.
The Godfather of the Manning family has spoken: Arch Manning will be at Texas after 2025. That means Longhorns fans will see the Arch Madness era pull through for a little longer than expected. We now have a rough timeline for the QB’s stay in college football and his journey onwards. But given the family he comes from, they sure have a lot planned in mind before dropping such a huge bite of info. What is the real reason behind Arch Manning’s stay at Texas?
On August 8, Archie Manning ended all talks about Arch heading to the NFL. “Arch isn’t going to do that. He’ll be at Texas,” the veteran quarterback said. That comment sparked conversation about Arch’s now confirmed stay in college football. That means he will very likely hold on to the starting QB position, something that every Manning has done in their collegiate career. Manning already has nearly 1000 passing yards in the bag and will be the talking point of the season. Despite Archie’s statement, it has done less to quieten the rumor mill, as fans continue to theorize who will pick Arch Manning in 2027.
Rich Eisen, however, figured that the Manning family just wants to take it easy when it comes to Arch. He said in an August 8 episode of his show, “I thought it [Archie Manning’s comment] could also be a great way to just… let’s not have this conversation with this kid this year.” Two full seasons as QB1 are going to make Arch Manning the uncontested No. 1 draft pick, provided he has two brilliant seasons. He is already a star in college football, but also faces tremendous pressure because of the overwhelming amount of expectations.

“Obviously, the Mannings know all about developing quarterbacks. They also know about business. They also know about life, right? This kid is going to have an opportunity to be the starting quarterback at the University of Texas. Let him be a kid. Let him be a kid on campus, let him be the BMOC… [Why] not just provide him some cover right now and say, ‘Don’t ask him about it. Don’t make this season about what’s next in the NFL,’” Eisen added. Before Archie’s statement, there were a lot of talks about Arch going to Cleveland or the Jets. But he would be thrown into an extremely high-stakes environment, with a still shaky foundation. After another year, he will be at his best to handle that kind of pressure.
NFL will happen when it has to happen for Arch Manning
Arch Manning knows how high fans think of him. “I’m not really sure how they get these opinions. I’ve only played, what, two games?” he said of his Heisman projections. The hopes for his NFL career reach about the same height. Jimmy Halsam, who has a connect to the Manning family via Cleveland’s relationship with Nick Saban, was confident about Manning staying in college. “If you know the Manning family, I would bet that— and I don’t know Arch at all, okay— I bet he stays in college two years,” he said on July 29.
If Arch Manning does end up ruling college football this season and the next, there’s no doubt that needy teams will roll out the carpet for him. But that will happen with time. “Just let him be a kid and try and provide the cover for it. Because the NFL is going to be there. And one would think like, if he does have a monster season and they do survey the scene and go, ‘You know what? A really good organization, with a really good coach, and a really good ownership group, and a really good front office, has the first overall pick or would move up to take Arch.’ Got to consider that,” Eisen said. “That may be something that is down the road,” he added.
This is likely the best shot Texas has at winning the National Championship. And Steve Sarkisian has the best guy to lead the Longhorns to that big game. Arch Manning will take center stage for the first time in college football and has a lot to prove. Only after that will he be making his departure for the NFL, per his grandfather. But until then, we get to see Arch being the star he is at Texas, for one more year.
Kenyan star sprinter Ferdinand Omanyala failed to clock in below 10 seconds once again, competing in the 100m race at the International Josko Laufmeeting in Andorf on 9th August 2025. Despite being dubbed the “fastest man in Africa,” he continues to fall short of achieving a sub-10-second race.
Omanyala had previously stated his ambition to become the fastest sprinter in Kenyan history. As he told Olympics.com prior to the 2024 Olympics, “I’ll go down as the fastest sprinter Kenya has ever had. Of course, my records will be broken, but (I’ll be) the person who came about and changed the notion that Kenyans are only known for long and middle distance. That is what I’m going down in books for.”
The Track & Field Gazette recently shared a still image of Omanyala’s win at the meeting. He dominated the 100m against Arthur Cisse (10.13 seconds) and Retshidisitswe Mlenga (10.14 seconds).
Shortly after the X post went live, track and field fans reacted strongly. One fan commented, “He hasn’t gone sub 10 this season.”
Omanyala’s recent performance is being scrutinized, particularly considering his previous successes. In 2021, he finished the Kip Keino Classic in 9.77 seconds with a tailwind of +1.2 m/s, and had run below 10 seconds in three consecutive races. However, his 2025 season began with a 10.00-second result at the FNB Botswana Golden Grand Prix.
Doubt persists regarding Omanyala’s ability to achieve a sub-10-second run outside of Africa. He had previously clocked in at 9.96 seconds in the semifinals and 9.86 in the finals of the International Josko Laufmeeting – Andorf, Austria (2021), and finished the Hercuylis Diamond League in Monaco (9.92 seconds) and Prefontaine Classic in Eugene (9.85 seconds) in 2023. Nevertheless, one fan noted, “Omanyala this season has been struggling to dash under 10 but all in vain.”
Some fans have questioned his legitimacy, labeling him “the fakest 9.7 sprinter in history.” Another suggested, “This brother still living off 2003 9.7,” referencing his 2023 record. Despite these criticisms, the Kenyan sprinter continues to strive for a sub-10-second race, and fans are awaiting to see if he can break his own record.
