Giants Place Robertson-Harris on IR, Sign Two DBs

This October will mark the 50th anniversary of the first time Liverpool and Trabzonspor were thrown together by the gods of football. When they played each other in the second round of the European Cup in 1976 it’s fair to say not many associated with Liverpool were impressed with Trabzon. Bob Paisley described the team hotel as a “doss house”, the ball as “a pig’s bladder” that “was not good enough for blow football”, adding that “teams in the Durham Mining League would not play with it”, and as for the food, well, he’d had “better rations in my bivvy in the Western Desert”, back when he was in Montgomery’s Eighth Army.

Mike LaFleur on Josh Sweat: I'm not worried about him for Sept. 13 at all

Cardinals edge rusher Josh Sweat remains on the active/physically unable to perform list as he deals with a knee issue.

But even as Arizona progresses further into training camp, head coach Mike LaFleur is not concerned about Sweat being on the field when games count.

"Whether you believe me or not, I'm not worried about him for Sept. 13, at all,” LaFleur said Wednesday, via Darren Urban of the team’s website.

Sept. 13, of course, is when the Cardinals will open the regular season against the Chargers.

LaFleur has used a similar line before when discussing Sweat’s health and potential unhappiness with his contract. Sweat was the subject of trade rumors over the offseason.

Last year — Sweat's first with the Cardinals — Sweat recorded a career-high 12.0 sacks with 13 tackles for loss and 17 QB hits.
