Toppserien-klubben Røa i stor økonomisk krise – trenger millionbeløp på to dager

Røa Fotball Elite er i kritisk pengenød og må ha inn 2 millioner kroner for å overleve etter helgen.
Det avslørte styreleder Harald Nickelsen til TV 2 før fredagens kamp mot Vålerenga.
– Status er at vi sliter. Da får vi skylde på oss selv. Vi har ikke vært flinke nok til å nå ut med budskapet vårt, sa Nickelsen.
Det ble i sommer kjent at Røa slet økonomisk.
«Klubben står nå uten tilstrekkelig støtte fra sponsorer, investorer og næringsliv til å møte kravene som stilles til videre satsing på øverste nivå», het det i en pressemelding.
Nickelsen sier at styret skal ta en avgjørelse om fremtiden på søndag. Han er klar på at den eneste utveien kan bli å finne en klubb som kan ta over lisensen.
– På Røa har vi ikke noe næringsliv, vi har noen butikker som også lever fra hånd til munn. Vi må nok dessverre kaste inn håndkleet ser det ut som, med mindre det dukket opp et par millioner fra oven i løpet av helgen, sa Nickelsen. (NTB)

Patriots Reportedly Placing A.J. Brown On Injured Reserve With Ankle Injury

The New England Patriots will be without their No. 1 wide receiver for the foreseeable future. New England is placing star wide receiver A.J. Brown on injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain, ESPN reported on Friday afternoon. Brown, who will now miss at least four weeks, suffered the ankle injury in the third quarter of the Patriots' Wednesday night loss on the road to the defending Super Bowl-champion Seattle Seahawks in what was a rematch of Super Bowl LX. Brown will miss home games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Las Vegas Raiders and road tilts against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills. Prior to the injury, Brown had reeled in three receptions for 26 yards. With Brown sidelined, New England's wide receiver room includes fellow offseason pickup Romeo Doubs (the Patriots signed the former Green Bay Packers wide receiver to a four-year, $68 million deal), Mack Hollins, DeMario Douglas and second-year receivers Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III. The Patriots acquired Brown, a three-time Pro Bowler, from the Philadelphia Eagles in June for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder. Last season (2025), Brown totaled 78 receptions for 1,003 yards (12.9 yards per reception) and seven touchdowns across 15 regular-season games. Over his four years with the Eagles (2022-25), highlighted by helping them win Super Bowl LIX, Brown averaged 84.8 receptions for 1,258.5 yards and eight touchdowns per year. The 29-year-old Brown begins a three-year, $96 million extension in 2027.

2026 NFL MVP Best Bet: Why Patrick Mahomes Is Most Valuable Wager

The NFL is back, and in a few days from now, every team will have played a game. Before the other 28 teams get into action, let’s take one final look at how the MVP odds stack up and figure out where the value is. First, a little history to put in context and provide some clues as to who this award might go to. It’s a quarterback award. Since 2008, there have been 18 winners and only running back Adrian Peterson, who nearly broke Walter Payton’s rushing record, won the award as a non-quarterback in 2011. Inevitability, there will be a running back midseason who's having a great year. Think Christian McCaffrey in 2023 and Saquon Barkley in 2024. And there will be people asking if this will be the year a running back once again wins MVP. The answer is most likely no. Stick to quarterbacks when betting this market.

While it is a quarterback award, it is also an individual award, since there is a major team component to winning MVP. Nobody is winning this award on a 9-8 team. Of the last 18 MVPs, 17 have been QBs, and 15 of those 17 played on a team that got a first-round bye in the playoffs. Peyton Manning in 2008 and Matthew Stafford in 2025 were the only two MVPs that did not get a bye in the playoffs, but even their teams went 12-4 and 12-5, respectively. When this award is announced in February, the trophy will be handed to a quarterback on a team with an outstanding record. Which brings me to Patrick Mahomes at 15-1 (FanDuel). Sure, there are questions surrounding Mahomes as he returns from a torn ACL in a 2025 season that saw him and his team miss the playoffs for the first time in his illustrious career. There are also questions about the offensive line and his receiving weapons. Yet, this is still Mahomes, and at 15-1, the price is too tempting to pass up. Just two years ago, he led his team to a 15-2 record and was one win away from a third consecutive Super Bowl title and the fourth in six years. Mahomes has been to five Super Bowls, and he’s also lost at home in overtime in two other AFC title games. Last year, the Chiefs went 6-11, but a lot of that poor record was due to them being just 1-9 in one-score games. I expect Mahomes and the Chiefs to bounce back, have some better luck in close games and be right near the top of the AFC standings. What also helps Mahomes’ hopes for MVP is that he hasn’t won this award since 2022, so there is no voter fatigue with him winning. There could also be a positive narrative surrounding him as he comes off the ACL injury.
