Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen recently underwent surgery after playing with a broken bone in his right foot during the final weeks of the 2025 season. Allen described it Thursday as an older injury that he aggravated during the Bills’ Week 16 win over the Cleveland Browns.
Specifically, the procedure repaired Allen’s fifth metatarsal avulsion. The projected timetable for his recovery is 8-10 weeks, which means that Allen should be fine by voluntary offseason workouts in the spring.
Buffalo went 2-2 over the span of Allen’s injury. That included a wild-card playoff win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and a season-ending loss to the Denver Broncos in the divisional round.
“Obviously, not an ideal situation,” Allen said. “Painful throughout the weeks, but again, on game day, [it’s a] different story, just being able to put that to the side and just go out there and play football.”
Allen entered the press conference with the aid of crutches and a walking boot.
“If I make one more play in Denver, we’re not sitting here right now having this press conference,” Allen said. “We’re probably getting ready to play another game.”
While he said McDermott’s firing was “very emotional,” Allen is excited to continue working with Brady, who has been on Buffalo’s staff since 2022.
“He is in the building dang near all day,” Allen said of Brady. “And that’s not going to stop. He’s going to continue to keep working hard and trying to find ways for our team to be put in successful positions. And he’s very much driven by that. And when he says he loves to work, he truly loves to work. He loves to work. He loves football, he loves this game, he loves the players, and that’s very evident in our meetings.
“I think, when he’s in front of our defense and our special teams players as well as our offense, people are going to understand that the love is real, and that the want to win and the want to bring a trophy here to Western New York is real. So, yeah, I’m looking forward to it.”
Allen, who was part of Buffalo’s head coach interview process, was also asked about Keon Coleman after Bills owner Terry Pegula essentially blamed McDermott for the team drafting him back in 2024.
“I’m not going to give up on (him),” Allen said. “He’s got too much ability. I will not give up on him. We’re gonna we’re gonna work tirelessly, him and me as everybody else in this building, to make sure that whenever we step foot on the field, that we’re going to we’re going to find ways to win football games, and he’s going to be a part of that.”

VATICAN CITY — VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Leo XIV told the Vatican’s doctrine office on Thursday to uphold truth, justice and charity when deciding clergy sex abuse cases, confirming a calibrated approach to dealing with a scandal that has tarnished the Catholic Church’s credibility worldwide.
History’s first American pope dedicated only a small part of his speech to abuse in an address to members of the Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vatican office that polices Catholic doctrine but also processes abuse cases worldwide.
What Leo didn’t say was almost more significant than what he did: Leo made no mention of victims in his speech, suggesting he believes the dicastery should function almost exclusively as a church tribunal, not a pastoral office.
Another Vatican department, the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, has become a main point of reference for abuse survivors. Pope Francis had made the commission part of the doctrine office, but Leo appears keen to keep the two functionally separate. No one from the survivor commission participated in Thursday’s audience.
Leo told the bishops and cardinal members of the doctrine office that they should welcome and accompany the religious superiors who, according to the church’s canon law, are responsible for investigating and sanctioning priests who molest or abuse young people.
“It is a very delicate area of ministry, in which it is essential to ensure that the requirements of justice, truth and charity are always honored and respected,” Leo said.
Two decades after the abuse scandal exploded in his native U.S., Leo has indicated a generally cautious approach to handling abuse cases. He has insisted that church leaders must better listen to victims but also expressed concern that the rights of priests be better protected.
During a recent closed-door meeting with cardinals from around the world, Leo said the abuse crisis was by no means over and that church leaders needed to do better to truly, actively listen to victims and accompany them.
“We cannot close our eyes or hearts,” Leo told cardinals June 8. “The pain of the victims has often been greater because they did not feel welcomed or heard.”
Perhaps coincidentally, Leo went from the doctrine office audience Thursday into a separate meeting with consecrated members of Regnum Christi, the lay branch of the Legion of Christ religious order.
The Mexico-based Legion remains the Catholic Church’s most egregious case of 20th century clergy sexual abuse and cover up: The Vatican in 2006 sanctioned its founder, the Rev. Marcial Maciel, to a lifetime of penance and prayer, but only after it ignored five decades of credible reports that Maciel was a pedophile, con artist, drug addict and religious fraud.
Leo met with members of the Regnum Christi who are having a general assembly in Rome. The Legion too is having its once-every-six-year assembly to elect a new leadership, but there’s no word if Leo will meet with Legion priests.
Leo didn’t mention the Legion in his remarks to Regnum Christi. Nor did he refer to the founder of both movements, Maciel, who died in 2008. But he suggested that the Vatican-imposed reform launched in 2010 after Maciel’s crimes came to light was still a work in progress. He noted that Regnum Christi still needed to better define its unique spiritual inspiration, known in church terms as a charism, that justifies its existence and to find new styles of governance.
The Vatican investigation into the Legion and Regnum Christi identified profound problems in the cultlike organization, including abuses of authority and the way authority was exercised by superiors, that it said required a process of “purification.”
“A truly evangelical government, moreover, is always oriented toward service: it supports, accompanies, and helps each member to become more like the savior every day,” Leo said.
“You should not be afraid to experiment with new models of governance; on the contrary, it is good to keep in mind that the collective search for your own style of exercising authority opens up paths that not only enrich the societies and their individual members, and strengthen the sense of belonging and participation in the common mission.”

Kid Rock‘s Congressional testimony about unfair ticketing practices was personal and persuasive. The country-rocker took aim at agencies such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation and fired.
Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn invited Kid Rock (real name Robert Ritchie) to speak on Wednesday (Jan. 28). During his allotted five minutes he spoke of a decades long (or longer) fight for fairness in event ticket sales and distribution.
Secondary markets that inflate prices are just part of the problem, he says, labeling the merger between Live Nation and Ticketmaster a failure. While he stopped short of accusing either of collusion, he stopped just short.
Kid Rock’s Solution To Unfair Event Ticketing Practices
“It’s no secret this industry is full of greedy snakes and scoundrels — too many suits lining their pockets off talent they never had and fans they misled,” he says during the sharpest portion of his five-minute testimony.

Read the full transcript below. Kid Rock’s solution is to break up Ticketmaster and Live Nation, mandate a 10 percent price cap on resale markets and use technology to eliminate bots.
“No artist should be forced to sell their tickets without a say in who sells them and how they are sold,” Kid Rock — a proud capitalist — says. “What other business in America doesn’t control — or at least have a say in — its own inventory?”
His testimony is rare, but representative, he suggests. “Unlike most of my peers, I am beholden to no one,” Kid Rock says early on. “To put it plainly, I ain’t scared to speak out on these issues like many artists, managers, and agents are for fear of biting the hand that feeds them.

The start of the 2025-26 men’s college basketball season feels like years ago. Before it tipped off, we ranked 80 teams based on how we expected them to end the year, including whether they would be real factors in the NCAA tournament.
Some of those projections held strong. UConn still looks like it could capture its third national title in four tries. Duke and Texas Tech have shaped into the Final Four contenders we forecasted them to be. And Nebraska has lived up to its billing as a comeback candidate, following up last season’s 7-13 Big Ten run to win its first 20 games of this campaign. The Cornhuskers have a real chance to be the men’s basketball version of Indiana football — a turnaround champion.
There were also misses. Arizona as just a second-weekend threat? The Wildcats have spent seven straight weeks atop the AP Top 25. We were also low on Vanderbilt, pinning the Commodores as a bubble team; they won their first 16 games.
There was no way to know then what we know now. But we did leverage the information we’ve gathered to this point to take another shot at ranking teams into their proper categories. This time, we’ve reduced the list to just 47.
ESPN’s Jeff Borzello and Myron Medcalf try to make some sense of what has unfolded thus far.
Each of these teams cracked this tier at different points during the nonconference stretch of the season.
For Arizona, it was its road win at UConn in mid-November — after already notching wins away from home over Florida and UCLA (Auburn and Alabama would soon join that group). For Michigan, it was the historically impressive performances at the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas during Feast Week, particularly the 40-point win over Gonzaga in the event’s championship game. UConn’s came later, but a string of wins over BYU, Illinois, Kansas and Florida — none at home — combined with a return to full health clearly put the Huskies in the top tier nationally.
Arizona currently sits at 21-0 after beating BYU in Provo on Monday, leading by as many as 19 points and looking utterly dominant for most of the game. Tommy Lloyd has a clear national championship favorite, with an ideal balance of youth and experience, guards and bigs and the best defense he has had since taking over in Tucson — by far. The Wildcats can beat teams in different ways, with Jaden Bradley and Brayden Burries anchoring the perimeter, and Koa Peat, Motiejus Krivas and Tobe Awaka controlling the paint. Ivan Kharchenkov‘s emergence as one of the elite defenders in the Big 12 takes the Wildcats to another level at that end of the floor, too.
Michigan, meanwhile, suffered its first loss of the season in early January after opening the season with 14 straight wins, many of them by 30-plus points. Dusty May has leaned heavily on size, starting three players 6-foot-9 or taller, but the Wolverines are still able to defend as well — and get up and down the floor as fast — as any team in the country. Yaxel Lendeborg, Morez Johnson Jr. and Aday Mara form an elite frontcourt, while Elliot Cadeau has made strides as a shooter and decision-maker.
UConn’s efficiency numbers aren’t quite up to par with the other two teams in this tier, but the Huskies have found a way to win close games throughout Big East play, and they’re already battle-tested from a brutal nonconference schedule. Dan Hurley’s crew took some time to get fully healthy, but now that it is, he has a team much more in line with his two title-winning groups of 2023 and 2024. There’s depth, size, point guard play and plenty of shotmakers on the perimeter with the likes of Alex Karaban, Solo Ball, Braylon Mullins and Silas Demary Jr. — Borzello
The NCAA tournament is often defined by the performances of players who step up in high-stakes moments, which means success in March depends on talent capable of shifting into a higher gear. The teams in this tier certainly are not without their flaws, but they could close the gap between them and the national championship favorites if their respective stars reach their ceilings in the weeks ahead.
Cameron Boozer is, at least statistically speaking, having a season that rivals those of the greatest Duke players over the past 25 years. His offensive rating is currently higher than the offensive ratings JJ Redick, Zion Williamson and Cooper Flagg had during their National Player of the Year campaigns. Boozer is a household name, in part because his father Carlos Boozer helped Duke to a national title in 2001, but the rest of these teams are here without any of their own thanks to breakout performances by emerging stars.

After recording a career-high 32 points in a narrow but critical win over Illinois in December, Nebraska’sPryce Sandfort gave the Cornhuskers a chance at another important victory at Michigan on Tuesday despite being down two starters to injury and ultimately falling 75-72. Illinois’Keaton Wagler has had similar head-turning performances, having led the Fighting Illini to a road win over Purdue with a program-record 46 points while standout Kylan Boswell was sidelined this past Saturday.
At Houston, Kingston Flemings has emerged as a projected top-five NBA draft pick and had a career-high 42 points in the loss to Texas Tech this past Saturday. He is notably the first freshman whom coach Kelvin Sampson has trusted to act as a catalyst for the Cougars. At Purdue, Braden Smith leads the nation in assists (9.0 per game) as the spark that has kept us believers amid a Boilermakers slump. And at Iowa State, Tamin Lipsey has found Joshua Jefferson — a legit contender for national Player of the Year — for a flurry of buckets as the Cyclones joust for the Big 12 title.
If Graham Ike (ankle) is healthy soon and Braden Huff (knee) returns to form in time for the NCAA tournament, a Gonzaga team that could have one of the best defenses of the Mark Few era will have a chance to enjoy postseason success. And finally, Texas Tech stars JT Toppin and Christian Anderson — who combined for 43 points, 16 rebounds and 12 assists in this past Saturday’s win over Houston — could be a winning combination for the Red Raiders again in March. — Medcalf

This tier is full of teams that have notable strengths but glaring weaknesses that could prevent them from advancing beyond the Sweet 16 or Elite Eight despite being capable of reaching those second-weekend rounds.
We know what Kansas is capable of when Darryn Peterson (21.6 points per game) is available. The Jayhawks are a top-15 defensive team with the luxury of a high-level star, but Peterson’s injury concerns could be an issue if they linger into March (he’s missed 10 of their 20 games so far).
On paper, BYU has arguably all the talent a head coach could want. AJ Dybantsa is in the running for the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA draft. Richie Saunders is one of the top shooters in the country. And Rob Wright III is averaging 5.2 assists for a top-10 offense. Yet, the Cougars are also 13th in turnover rate in the Big 12, surrendering the ball on 17% of their possessions.
Tom Izzo loves this Michigan State roster and Jeremy Fears Jr. (8.9 assists per game) is the right leader for a team that’s playing some of the best defense in America. The Spartans have also committed turnovers on one-fifth of their possessions in Big Ten play.
Florida has gotten its act together over the past six weeks in a reversal that has rebooted talk of a back-to-back national championship run for the Gators. But their lineups that include Boogie Fland and Xaivian Lee together are rated 126th in overall efficiency among the two-player lineups in the SEC, per EvanMiya.
Darius Acuff Jr. is a projected NBA draft lottery pick who leads Arkansas and the best offense in the SEC. John Calipari’s problem? Opposing conference opponents have made 57% of their shots inside the arc against the Razorbacks, who rank 15th out of 16 SEC teams in that metric at KenPom.
Vanderbilt had drawn comparisons to Indiana football as an underdog that won at an unexpected rate, and with Tyler Tanner — who wasn’t ranked as a high school recruit by ESPN — evolving into a potential first-round NBA draft pick. But the Commodores, with the worst SEC defense inside the arc, might not have the defensive chops to advance past the Sweet 16 despite having the talent to get there. You could say the same for first-year coach Ryan Odom Virginia or Labaron Philon Jr. (22.2 PPG) and Alabama’s high-powered offense. — Medcalf
We haven’t quite figured out this group yet, despite being nearly three months into the season. They could lose on the first day of the NCAA tournament, or they could be among the four teams left standing in Indianapolis. Nothing would surprise us.
St. John’s had a rocky first two months, with inconsistent guard play and an atypical Rick Pitino defense. But with six wins in a row entering the week and better role allocation in recent weeks, we’re not counting out this preseason top-five team.
Kentucky was considered the most disappointing team in the country when it was 5-4, and again when it was 9-6; then the Wildcats rattled off five wins in a row prior to Tuesday’s 25-point road loss to Vanderbilt. Injuries have really hindered Mark Pope’s team, but what if Kam Williams and Jayden Quaintance come back? The Wildcats would get an offensive boost from Williams’ shooting while Quaintance would be an immediate upgrade defensively.
Louisville will hope to get things rolling again now that Mikel Brown Jr. has returned from the lower back injury that kept him out for more than a month. The Brown and Ryan Conwell backcourt is as good as it gets. Even with the star freshman available, however, the Cardinals have only one win over a surefire NCAA tournament team.
North Carolina showed its ceiling and floor over the weekend when it trailed by 16 against Virginia and couldn’t guard anyone … and then came back to win, overpowering the Cavaliers with size and shotmaking. Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar are an elite post duo, but Hubert Davis needs consistent point guard play and defense.

Under Rick Barnes, Tennessee has typically had elite defenses and been prone to droughts offensively. Not this season’s team — although neither unit has been particularly impressive in SEC play. There’s still potential with Ja’Kobi Gillespie and Nate Ament leading the way, and the Vols showed it at Alabama last weekend. And if the defense turns around to play at the level of previous Barnes-coached teams, suddenly the Vols can go toe-to-toe with most teams in the country. — Borzello
This is a deep group, but all of these teams have shown flashes of being able to win a game in the NCAA tournament — even if some find themselves sweating on Selection Sunday.
Some have already shown they can beat high-level teams on a given night: Auburn won at Florida over the weekend and has wins over Arkansas and St. John’s. Wisconsin handed Michigan its lone loss thus far, in Ann Arbor. UCLA has been mostly inconsistent, especially against good teams, but beat Purdue and has won four of five entering the week. And Georgia blew out Arkansas.
Others have elite players who are good enough to carry them to a win: Iowa has Bennett Stirtz, NC State has Darrion Williams. Ohio State has plenty of talent in its starting five, and Bruce Thornton is a bona fide star. Boopie Miller puts SMU in this group as well.
For others, it’s simply a fact of us believing in their talent, coaching or general identity.
Randy Bennett’s Saint Mary’s teams are always a threat in March. Saint Louis is a legitimate top-25 squad and could find itself in position to win more than one game in the tournament. Utah State is annually destined to be in a coin-flip first-round matchup. Villanova, Texas A&M and Miami are all better than expected in Year 1 under new head coaches. UCF owns a win over Kansas and isn’t going away as a competitive Big 12 team. And San Diego State struggled early, but the Aztecs find themselves atop the Mountain West and have March pedigree. — Borzello
Over the past three NCAA tournaments, 10 teams outside the five high-major conferences — that were also double-digit seeds — won at least one game. The teams on this list all have the potential to join them, beginning with Miami (OH), a team that has won its first 21 games of the season. The RedHawks have made 39% of their 3-point attempts and 62% of their shots inside the arc, both top-20 marks nationally.
Under first-year head coach Bill Armstrong, McNeese has forced turnovers on 25% of its opponents’ turnovers, exceeding the tally of last season’s Cowboys team that reached the second round under Will Wade.
Murray State guard Javon Jackson (17.0 PPG) is one of the best mid-major players in America. UNC-Wilmington has seven players averaging at least nine points per game, depth that could make the team dangerous in March. Liberty is shooting 52% from the field, No. 2 in the country. And Yale has made 41% of its 3-point attempts, also second in the nation.
If your favorite team has to go through one of these squads in March, they might go home earlier than anticipated. — Medcalf

He’s too late. This was the first rate decision since the Justice Department launched an investigation into the Fed chairman and the central bank’s renovation project. In *** separate case, the Supreme Court is weighing whether President Trump can fire one of the Fed decision makers, Governor Lisa Cook.

The anonymous Trump parody/protest project originally emerged during Donald J. Trump‘s first presidential term, releasing an absurdly prolific run of roughly 100 ultra-short grind tracks aimed squarely at political outrage and satire. Now, the band has returned with a brand-new EP titled Fuckin’ Bitch and yeah – it’s exactly as pissed as it should be.
The release features 10 tracks of signature blast-driven chaos, staying true to the project’s confrontational ethos. More importantly, the EP carries a clear activist purpose: 100% of all proceeds — both digital and physical — will be donated to the Immigrant Defense Project and the National Immigration Law Center.
The EP is available now on vinyl via Bandcamp, with digital purchases also contributing fully to the two organizations. Here are the song titles as well, because you need to read ’em.
