‘Take in the moments or they just pass you by‘: Aden Durde, the first British coach to win a Super Bowl
The Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator is preparing for the NFL draft later this week. On a recent trip home to London, he reflected on his extraordinary journey A middle-aged man pulls down his baseball cap, walks across Leicester Square and heads to Greggs for lunch before taking the Piccadilly Line home to Southgate. It’s only two months since he won the Super Bowl but none of the thousands of tourists milling around central London recognise him. Aden Durde should be a British celebrity. Olympians often say there is a massive comedown after they win gold medals. Some think: ‘Now what?’ How have you felt after winning the Super Bowl? “I wouldn’t say it’s a comedown, but there were moments after you win it, like at the parade, I felt numb. The little letdown is, while you might get another chance to create it, you’re not going to do it again with that group of people. You realise that this special thing that we had is over. I thought that on the bus going back to the hotel from the game.” Continue reading...

The Spin | Glitzy socials are one thing but it is more valuable to hear cricket’s most important voice
The ICC chair Jay Shah has dominated social media posts from global tournaments but his views on the future direction of the game are harder to find “Visuals that the whole nation will remember for ages,” reads the social media post by the Board of Control for Cricket in India, introducing a 37-second video clip. It captures the celebrations after India’s T20 World Cup triumph in Ahmedabad last month, a victory built by an astounding squad; strong enough to exclude names such as Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal, nerveless enough to thump 255 in the final against New Zealand. But one man in a suit dominates the footage: Jay Shah. The chair of the International Cricket Council (ICC) is in most of the shots, embracing the players and soaking in the moment alongside their head coach, Gautam Gambhir. He is all smiles alongside former India captains Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni, and at one point there is a frame of him on his own holding the trophy. He goes on to help Suryakumar Yadav lift it. Shah is not the honorary secretary of the BCCI any more; the whole sport is his responsibility. Yet here he was, transformed into the protagonist of a story that did not belong to him. This is an extract from the Guardian’s weekly cricket email, The Spin. To subscribe, just visit this page and follow the instructions Continue reading...

Fernando Mendoza: LinkedIn lunatic, endearing goofball and a symbol of the NFL’s future
The Indiana quarterback will almost certainly be the No overall pick in this week’s draft. He is also a sign of what’s to come for the league Ever since the NCAA changed its rules in 2021 to allow student athletes to profit from their name, image and likeness, institutional money has been circling college football, desperate for a way to turn top programs into money-making machines. These incursions have had limited success to date. Perhaps the private equity and venture capital vultures have been approaching things the wrong way. Instead of building a fully financialized and business-friendly college football league, why not start with the players? When Fernando Mendoza emerges, as he almost certainly will, as the No 1 overall pick of the NFL draft on Thursday night, his coronation will not only cap a remarkable personal story – it will also mark the ascendancy of a specific idea of the modern football player. Mendoza’s story is extraordinary. Ranked as the 140th-best quarterback prospect by respected college recruiting website 247Sports in 2022, as he was applying for college, he rose through the ranks at the California Golden Bears, earning both his stripes as a starting quarterback and an undergraduate business degree in three years. Last year he transferred to Indiana, winning the Heisman Trophy as he led the Hoosiers to an undefeated season and the national championship. His rise is a tribute to dedication, hard work, grit, determination – all qualities NFL franchises look for when scouring the college field for prospects. Continue reading...

Bernardo Silva’s performance against Arsenal shows what Manchester City are losing
The Manchester City captain’s all-action display captured what has made him indispensable to Pep Guardiola By Opta Analyst “You were like fucking Cannavaro today.” Erling Haaland scored the winner in Manchester City’s colossal 2-1 victory against Arsenal but he was quick to highlight the real standout performer: his team’s captain, Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese midfielder will leave City in the summer after nine trophy-laden seasons, and his latest all-action display against gave everyone a clear reminder of what Pep Guardiola’s side will be losing when he departs. Haaland was referring to a crucial headed clearance late on, with Silva defending his own box and beating 6ft 2in striker Viktor Gyökeres to a dangerous cross. Silva and Cannavaro play in different positions, but the comparison to the World Cup-winning centre-back felt pretty accurate. Like Cannavaro, Silva is not particularly tall or physically imposing, but he compensates with his outstanding timing, bravery and reading of the game. Continue reading...

Gianluigi Buffon: ‘You have a perception that you are unbeatable, almost omnipotent’
Italy’s legendary goalkeeper on getting used to retirement, the decline of Italian football and why he blames himself for Zidane’s World Cup final red card “I tear the gloves off my hands and my bare knuckles, reddened and soaked with sweat, shine in the neon light,” Gianluigi Buffon writes when he remembers leaving the pitch at half-time during the final game of his remarkable career, in May 2023. “I really feel dead inside. I am 45 years old, and around me many of my teammates walking in shorts towards the dressing room could easily be my children.” The gripping and intimate tone of Buffon’s book, Saved, which opens with his last-ever game in a Serie B playoff for Parma, is matched by his warm and open character. The great goalkeeper played professionally for 28 years and his reflections are as moving as they are sombre. “Can you live without it, Gigi?” he asks. “No, I can’t … when you have outlived your youth, and the time when you feel strong and all-powerful has ended, and your muscles, joints and reflexes start to wear out, then it really is like dying.” Continue reading...
