“Last person team’s focus on” – Dani Busboom Kelly gets real about Taylor Landfair’s performance after Nebraska Volleyball team win

**Nebraska Volleyball Head Coach Dani Busboom Kelly Praises Taylor Landfair’s Stellar Performance Against Minnesota**

Nebraska Volleyball head coach Dani Busboom Kelly recently shared her thoughts on Taylor Landfair’s incredible performance against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Landfair, who previously represented the Minnesota team, put up an impressive 11 kills without committing a single error.

In a post-match interview, Coach Kelly highlighted how the opponents seemed to have underestimated Landfair’s potential. According to her, the Minnesota team appeared more focused on defending against attacks from Rebekah Allick, Andi Jackson, and Harper Murray.

“She’s the last person right now that teams focus on. When she’s playing that well, it just feels like we can do anything offensively,” Kelly remarked, emphasizing Landfair’s impact on the game.

**Minnesota Coach Acknowledges Landfair’s Unseen Strengths**

Interestingly, Kelly wasn’t the only one impressed by Landfair’s performance. Keegan Cook, the head coach of the Minnesota Golden Gophers, also commented on her standout play after the game.

“If you haven’t seen Taylor hitting the sharp angle, which a lot of our young guys haven’t seen before, it could be tough. I wasn’t thrilled that we couldn’t make those adjustments, but it’s a tall task to ask if you’ve never seen it before,” Cook said.

**Nebraska Extends Winning Streak to 24-0**

With back-to-back wins against the Illinois Fighting Illini and the Minnesota Golden Gophers, the Nebraska Volleyball team has extended its undefeated streak to 24-0 this season.

**Coach Kelly on Maintaining Team Morale After Tough Victories**

Ahead of the match against the Illinois Fighting Illini, Dani Busboom Kelly opened up about the importance of maintaining the team’s morale following hard-fought victories. In a press conference, she stated:

“It is really tough to win, no matter what level, what sport, and we never want to lose sight of that, and that’s something that I have always been a firm believer in. I also am a firm believer that we spend a lot of our time together and a lot of our time with our sport, and if we can’t enjoy and celebrate the little things, then we are going to drive ourselves crazy.”

She further emphasized the need for enthusiasm as the season progresses, adding,

“When December comes in, you’re relieved that the season’s over, and I don’t want our players to walk out of here feeling that they are relieved, I want them to feel like they can’t wait to be back.”

**A New Era for Nebraska Volleyball**

Dani Busboom Kelly took over as head coach of the Nebraska Volleyball team last year, succeeding John Cook, who announced his retirement after the 2024 NCAA Championships. Under her leadership, the team continues to thrive and demonstrate remarkable resilience and skill.

“They accidentally gave Max Verstappen Yuki Tsunoda’s car”: Fans react to the Dutch driver’s disastrous qualifying

Fans React to Max Verstappen’s Shocking Q1 Exit at Brazilian GP Qualifying

Max Verstappen faced a surprising setback during yesterday’s Q1 session of qualifying at the Interlagos racing circuit for the Brazilian Grand Prix. Despite his best efforts, Verstappen could only manage 16th place in the session while piloting Red Bull’s RB21, a performance that left fans and pundits stunned.

Adding to the drama, Verstappen’s teammate was also knocked out in Q1, marking an unusually poor outing for Red Bull — a team typically known for its competitiveness.

Fan Reactions and Memes

Following the qualifying session, fans flooded social media with hilarious and sometimes incredulous reactions. One popular post on X (formerly Twitter) read:
“By every aspect this is ridiculously poor from Red Bull, whatever they’ve done. This is horrible from them, this car shouldn’t be going out in Q1. Questions need to be asked, wtf are they doing?”

Another fan humorously suggested:
“They accidentally gave Max Yuki’s car.”
— Simon (@f1f1account, @effonecasualfan) added, “Couldn’t hurt.”

Other fans expressed their disbelief:
– “I am just wondering wtf just happened in one session between a sprint and Q1? Like how did they go from bad to absolutely thrash?”
– “Looks like they ran out of the Horner upgrades,” joked another user.

Verstappen to Start Brazilian GP from Pit Lane

Following the qualifying disappointment, Max Verstappen is set to start the Brazilian Grand Prix from the pit lane. Red Bull has made significant setup changes to the RB21 in an attempt to regain competitiveness.

Red Bull Team Boss Reacts

Red Bull team boss Laurent Mekies appeared visibly dejected after the session and spoke to Formula 1 media about the team’s struggles:
“Today has not been a positive day for the team, but one we will try and learn from. The sprint race was tough, and we did not have the pace to fight for the win. We weren’t happy with where we were after the sprint, so we decided to make a number of changes. It is part of the risk-taking we felt was necessary to see if we could get more out of the car.”

He added:
“It didn’t work and, if anything, it went in the opposite direction — clearly, we lost a lot of competitiveness. It’s painful and difficult to accept but it is what happens when you take risks sometimes. The best we can do now is learn from it and see where we can improve the car from here.”

Looking Ahead: Can Verstappen Bounce Back?

Despite this setback, Max Verstappen can take some confidence from his 2024 performance when he climbed from 17th to P1 under wet conditions. If circumstances align, a remarkable comeback could still be on the cards during the Brazilian Grand Prix.

Stay tuned for what promises to be an intense and unpredictable race weekend at Interlagos.

“He’s playing like a tiger” – Pawan Sehrawat’s massive praise for Fazel Atrachali after Pro Kabaddi 2025

**Pawan Sehrawat Praises Fazel Atrachali’s Stellar Performance Following Pro Kabaddi 2025**

Tamil Thalaivas’ star Pawan Sehrawat showered massive praise on veteran defender Fazel Atrachali after the conclusion of Pro Kabaddi 2025. Fazel played a vital role in Dabang Delhi’s title-winning campaign, showcasing his experience and skills throughout the season.

Pawan reflected on Fazel’s auction price, highlighting how the Iranian stalwart was initially acquired by Puneri Paltan for a hefty ₹1.5 crore in previous seasons. However, this season, Dabang Delhi picked him up at his base price of just ₹20 lakhs. Despite this, Fazel delivered a phenomenal performance and went on to win the coveted ‘Most Valuable Player’ (MVP) award.

“There was one player who was sold for ₹1.5 crore – Puneri Paltan took him. That Fazel Atrachali today went for ₹20 lakhs and became MVP. So was Fazel Atrachali only a 20 lakh player? That’s why money doesn’t matter. The value you go for in the auction doesn’t reduce your game or your playing aura at all. Fazel has proved that whether he was a 20 lakh player or not, that’s a different matter,” Pawan said during an interaction on Sunil Taneja’s YouTube channel.

He further elaborated, “Whether he should get 20 lakhs according to his name or according to his game or not – those who sit in the auction will decide that. But that player is good. It’s in his hands to decide. He has shown by playing well. He’s playing like a tiger. The word ‘Sultan’ that you people have given him, he has played really like a sultan. I feel proud of him.”

Fazel’s impressive statistics this season included 52 tackle points from 19 matches, with four High 5s to his name. He also captained Dabang Delhi in the absence of Ashu Malik, utilizing his vast experience both as a player and leader to guide the team.

**Sehrawat Lauds Dabang Delhi Head Coach Joginder Narwal**

Pawan Sehrawat also praised Dabang Delhi’s head coach Joginder Narwal for making smart choices in assembling an experienced squad. He singled out players like Fazel Atrachali, Saurabh Nandal, and Surjeet Singh, commending the coach’s faith in veterans.

“I give a massive salute to Joginder for this. Be it Saurabh, Fazel, or Surjeet – people thought they couldn’t play, but he took them all and proved that age is just a number and experience comes in use. They won the final,” Sehrawat said.

In the hard-fought final, Dabang Delhi edged past Puneri Paltan 31-28 to clinch their second Pro Kabaddi title. Alongside Fazel’s defensive heroics, Saurabh scored 52 tackle points from 19 matches, while Surjeet contributed 33 tackle points, making significant impacts throughout the campaign.

With seasoned leaders like Fazel Atrachali and the tactical acumen of Joginder Narwal, Dabang Delhi proved that experience combined with determination is a winning formula in the Pro Kabaddi league.

‘Not a politician’ Max Verstappen picked as the favorite for the title by Bernie Ecclestone

Four-time F1 champion Max Verstappen has been steadily reducing the gap to the championship leaders since the summer break and is now just 36 points behind Lando Norris. Amid the Dutchman’s recent surge in performance, former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has picked Verstappen as the favorite for the 2025 title.

As the new season unfolded, Red Bull found themselves overtaken in the performance index by McLaren, which allowed Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri to sprint ahead in the championship battle. Verstappen started the Dutch Grand Prix over 100 points behind Piastri. However, the upgrades Red Bull introduced during the latter races of the European stage brought Verstappen back into contention. Since then, Max has not finished off the podium.

Despite Lando Norris winning last weekend’s race in Mexico, Verstappen remains a strong favorite for the championship. Bernie Ecclestone highlighted Verstappen’s impressive track record at the Brazilian Grand Prix, calling it a “happy hunting ground” for the Dutch driver and predicting a likely victory there.

“I think Max will win and make it again! He has the special, the extraordinary. And the next race is Brazil—the weather is changeable, even with rain,” Ecclestone said.

Ecclestone also acknowledged that while Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are both talented drivers and McLaren has a great car, they are still no match for Verstappen.

“But Verstappen is the special one, the best racer, not a politician, but a real racing driver,” he added.

In the last six races, Verstappen has won three and finished on the podium in the other three, underlining his consistent form.

**“It’s in his hands”: Former F1 driver on Verstappen’s path to the 2025 title**

With four races remaining in the season, Verstappen needs to outscore Lando Norris by an average of nine points per race weekend to claim the championship. These final four weekends include two Sprint race events, adding to the challenge.

Former F1 driver Jolyon Palmer weighed in on how Verstappen might approach the final races.

“If he wins in Brazil, I think it will be in the balance. If he can win there, the gap will be less than 30 points. Vegas is going to be the big opportunity where you’ve got Mercedes, who will be quick. They’re always quick in Vegas. Ferrari is a wild card. McLaren could easily end up being sixth and seventh.

If you’re Max now with four races to go, you’ve got to just think, ‘let’s get the gap as close as it can be for Abu Dhabi,’ and then the pressure is on McLaren,” Palmer explained.

If Verstappen manages to clinch the 2025 title, it would mark the biggest points gap ever closed by a driver to win the F1 championship.

“He always called me ‘negro, negro’” – When former Real Madrid star opened up on his clashes with Lionel Messi at Barcelona

Former Real Madrid midfielder Royston Drenthe has slammed Barcelona legend Lionel Messi over his remarks and behavior during their encounters on the pitch. Recalling their clashes, Drenthe claimed that Messi repeatedly called him “negro,” a term that deeply bothered the Dutch player.

Drenthe, who faced Messi three times—once each while playing for Real Madrid, Hercules, and the Netherlands—won only with Hercules but lost the other two matches. Despite their frequent matchups, the tone Messi used during these encounters left a lasting negative impression on Drenthe.

In an interview with Dutch magazine *Helden* (h/t GOAL), Drenthe said:
“We played against each other a lot, and we always had problems. You know what really bothers me? That tone with which he always called me ‘negro, negro’. I understand that it is very common in South America, but we cannot stand it. Mahamadou Diarra, my teammate at Real Madrid, would become furious when Gabriel Heinze and Gonzalo Higuain initially called him ‘negro’. But they soon stopped.”

He added, “When I played against Barcelona with Hercules, I had the same problems with Messi again. Before the match, he gave me a hand and said, ‘Hola negro’. He didn’t shake my hand again after the match. I don’t think he’ll invite me to his birthday party.”

Drenthe made 65 senior appearances for Real Madrid over five years after joining the club from Feyenoord in 2007. He retired from professional football in November 2023.

**Pep Guardiola likens Erling Haaland’s numbers to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi**

Erling Haaland has been in incredible form for Manchester City this season, scoring 17 goals and providing one assist in just 13 games across all competitions. For context, the club’s second-highest scorer in the same period, Jeremy Doku, has only two goals.

Haaland scored a brace in Manchester City’s 3-1 home win over Bournemouth in the Premier League on November 2.

After the match, Pep Guardiola compared Haaland’s impact to that of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, saying:
“This is what it’s like if you play with Messi or Ronaldo, his influence is so big. You see the numbers of that guy? Of course, he’s that level. Messi and Ronaldo have done it for 15 years, but this is the level. The first goal, the way he shoots the ball, it’s like, ‘I am going to score’. He has that hunger. It’s top. I said how incredibly coachable and manageable he is.”

Notably, Guardiola coached Lionel Messi for 219 games at Barcelona. During that time, Messi recorded 211 goals and 94 assists, winning numerous trophies, including a treble.

Kendrick Perkins Says Public School Classes Are Holding Back the Next Generation of Hoopers: “You’re wasting time”

Kendrick Perkins carved out a successful NBA career spanning 14 seasons across four teams. He won an NBA championship with the Boston Celtics in 2008 and was part of Cleveland’s final playoff run in 2018. After retiring from professional basketball, Perkins transitioned into a broadcasting career and now works as an analyst for ESPN.

Perkins is known for his bold opinions and doesn’t hesitate to criticize players, including some of his former teammates like LeBron James and Kevin Durant.

### Perkins Talks About the Benefits of Prep School Over Public School

In a recent appearance on the “Out The Mud Podcast” (Saturday), Perkins discussed the advantages of attending prep school compared to traditional public education, especially for aspiring basketball players. At timestamp 1:24:24, he said:

> “If you’re talking about taking basketball serious, to the next level, then public school, traditional public school, is not the way to go. If you talking about taking this basketball sh*t serious… Because you’re wasting time throughout the day. Don’t come giving me this sh*t about, you need it for social skills and all this bullsh*t. Man, it’s enough shit to be doing in the outside world. You’ll be alright. Right?”

He also reflected on his own experience in a public school in Texas:

> “I spent damn near all of my ninth grade year taking Texas history because it was a requirement. I don’t give a f*ck about no damn Alamodome.”

Perkins emphasized that for serious basketball players, spending time on unrelated academic requirements—like history—can be a distraction. Instead, he suggested that the time could be better spent on training or learning practical skills such as financial literacy.

### Why Prep Schools Can Be Beneficial: The Example of Cooper Flagg

It has become increasingly common for basketball prospects to attend prep schools to better prepare themselves for college and professional careers. A recent example is Cooper Flagg, the projected No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, who completed high school at Montverde Academy, a renowned prep school.

Perkins highlighted the benefits of prep school by referencing Flagg’s college readiness during his freshman season at Duke University (timestamp 1:26:25):

> “I have been watching players who come out of prep school—like this year, Derik Queen, Cooper Flagg. Cooper Flagg could have stayed in New Hampshire, or where you from in Maine, and gone to his local high school. Still probably would have gone to Duke, but would he have been that ready for Duke his freshman year to dominate like he did? No. They train different. They watch film, bro.”

While Perkins’ points on the advantages of prep schools hold merit, it is important to recognize that attending such schools is not always feasible due to high tuition and other barriers.

Justin Fields makes feelings clear on Woody Johnson’s criticism after handing Aaron Glenn’s Jets 1st win of 2025 NFL season

After eight tries, the New York Jets finally secured a victory. On Sunday, Aaron Glenn’s squad defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 39-38 on the road, ending their 0-7 start to the season.

Quarterback Justin Fields delivered a strong performance, completing 21 of 32 attempts for 244 yards and a touchdown to Tyler Johnson. The win was especially important for Fields following some less-than-favorable comments from Jets owner Woody Johnson earlier in the week. After the game, Fields addressed those remarks:

“That’s outside noise at the end of the day. I get that he’s the owner of the team, but that’s outside noise.”

The Jets’ offensive highlight was running back Breece Hall, who rushed 18 times for 133 yards and two touchdowns. Hall also threw the decisive touchdown to Mason Taylor in the fourth quarter, showcasing his versatility.

On the Cincinnati side, Joe Flacco led the offense, completing 21 of 34 passes for 223 yards and two touchdowns. He also contributed with a rushing score.

### Jets Head Coach Aaron Glenn Reacts to First Win of 2025 Season

Following the Jets’ first victory, head coach Aaron Glenn shared his thoughts on what he described as a “very, very exciting” game. He praised his team’s resilience and grit, especially after a difficult start to the season.

“I told my guys at halftime, these are the games where I really can tell the mental and physical toughness of our team, the grit we’ve been talking about having to play with to win these games. I’m proud of the way we fought,” Glenn said.

He continued, “There were a number of things we did today that didn’t put us in position to lose and put us in position to win. We had a number of guys who made plays at crucial times. Now it’s our time to consistently do that.”

Glenn also addressed the criticism the team has faced throughout the season:

“These guys, this staff, this team get criticized for so much. And I understand why. We were 0-7 and we brought a lot on ourselves. But a lot of it I feel was unwarranted. I’m just so happy for these guys and our coaches. We still have a long way to go. I’m going to enjoy this win.”

### Looking Ahead

The Jets will now enter their bye week, taking some time to regroup. Their next game is scheduled against the Cleveland Browns on November 9, with kickoff at 1 p.m. ET on CBS.
