Are you tracking your health with a device? Here's what could happen with the dataLOS ANGELES (AP) — Eric Bieniemy's return to UCLA lasted only one season. The Bruins let go of Bieniemy on Thursday after fielding one of the nation's worst offenses this season. It didn't take head coach DeShaun Foster long to find a replacement. Indiana quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator Tino Sunseri will become the new Bruins offensive coordinator, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Bruins had not yet announced the decision. Sunseri spent one season at Indiana after following Hoosiers coach Curt Cignetti from James Madison. Cignetti and Sunseri worked together for four seasons, the first three with the Dukes, who made the most successful transition from FCS to FBS in history. Bieniemy was hired as associate head coach and offensive coordinator shortly after Foster was hired as head coach in February. Bieniemy was also on the Bruins staff from 2003-05 as running backs coach. Jason Fletcher, Bieniemy's agent, said in a statement that Bieniemy planned to stay only one season in Westwood and termed it a “mutual parting of the ways.” However, Bieniemy signed a two-year contract at UCLA and did have a retention bonus if he was on staff for the 2025 season. "After interviewing for head coaching jobs last year, he wanted to stay active and busy," Fletcher said. “So, he decided to go help out Deshaun Foster, who is like his little brother, at UCLA as opposed to sitting out a year.” Out of 134 Football Bowl Subdivision teams, UCLA was 117th in total offense (328.8 yards per game), 126th in scoring (18.4 points per game) and had the nation's fifth-worst rushing attack (86.6 yards per game). The Bruins — 5-7 in their first season in the Big Ten after qualifying for a bowl the last three years — were the sixth Power Five team since 2000 that didn't score at least 20 points in their first six games. Players also said early in the season that Bieniemy's scheme was difficult to grasp and that play calls could be too wordy. Bieniemy was a two-time Super Bowl champion offensive coordinator with the Kansas City Chiefs but his last two stops have not gone well. He was Washington's offensive coordinator in 2023 but was not retained after Ron Rivera was fired. Bieniemy said in an email to ESPN earlier this year that he was not fired by Washington and that he received NFL offers to coach running backs or be a passing game coordinator. However, when asked during UCLA's spring practice to explain those remarks or what his other job prospects were, he refused to do so. “What I’m going say is this: I’m here coaching at UCLA. All that other stuff, you could go talk to the Commanders. I’ll leave it just like that,” he said. Bieniemy wasn’t retained by new Commanders coach Dan Quinn, who replaced Rivera. Despite his success in Kansas City, Bieniemy hasn’t landed a heading coach job, even though he’s interviewed with more than half of the NFL’s 32 teams. Fletcher said: "The plan was always to return to the NFL in 2025, and he’s looking forward to the opportunities ahead.” Sunseri's immediate priority will be to stem any further losses to the transfer portal. Quarterback Justyn Martin — who was on track to compete for the starting job following the graduation of Ethan Garbers — and running back T.J. Harden have already entered the portal. At Indiana, Sunseri worked closely with Kurtis Rourke, a transfer from Mid-American Conference school Ohio. Rourke went on to have one of the best seasons in Hoosiers history as No. 9 Indiana (11-1, 8-1 Big Ten, No. 9 CFP) broke single-season school records for victories and conference wins and appears set to make its CFP debut in two weeks. Sunseri, like Cignetti, also coached previously at Alabama. Sunseri served as a graduate assistant for the Crimson Tide in 2019 and 2020 after previous stints at Florida State and Tennessee. The 35-year-old Sunseri also spent three seasons with the CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders, winning a Grey Cup title as a rookie in 2013 following his college career at Pittsburgh.

Bayern Munich ’s Jamal Musiala and Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz are inarguably two of the best players in the Bundesliga and all of Germany at the moment, posting extraordinary achievements and playing some of the most beautiful football the league has on offer at the moment. So, inevitably, comparisons were made. Perhaps it is just human nature to compare instead of appreciate. Noise of such comparisons have become loud enough to reach Musiala, though. Asked in a recent interview if there is a rivalry between him and Wirtz, the former Chelsea FC youngster had this to say: “Not really. The comparisons always came from outside,” Musiala said, via @iMiaSanMia . “I just wanted to do my best and improve: I didn’t compare myself to Flo or see him as a rival. But I saw on Twitter, for example, that there were often these comparisons and videos.” Comparing the two incredible young players is just an asinine practice. Having said, that, however, FIFA’s rating of Wirtz over Musiala (88 to 87) is an absolute outrage and a national tragedy that should elicit a 10 minute long apology. The interviewer revealed this outrage to Musiala, but he laughed it off: “I can live with that,” he says, via @iMiaSanMia . ”Flo had a very good year, so I’m not concerned with the rating. Things like that have bothered me more in the past.” Pah. Imagine thinking Wirtz should be higher rated than Musiala. Maybe I should go to Twitter to blow off some steam. It seems to be the place to rant about unnecessary things nowadays... Looking to catch up on all the weekend’s action from Germany’s top flight?

Patiala: Sikh preacher Ranjit Singh Dhadrianwale , who has been recently booked for rape and murder in a 2012 case, is not new to controversies. In Aug 2020, Akal Takht , the highest temporal seat of Sikhs, had ordered his boycott, directing the Sikh community across the world not to attend his congregation, listen to him, or share his videos on social media until he apologised for his remarks. The direction had come after its five-member sub-committee formed to probe his alleged objectionable comments against Sikh Gurus and principles of Sikhism submitted its report under its then coordinator Chamkaur Singh that Dhadrianwale did not turn up for clarification despite several efforts. In Sept 2021, he faced a defamation case after Gurpreet Singh Randhawa, Shiromani Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee member from Fatehgarh Sahib, filed a criminal defamation case against him in the sessions court. This was in response to his alleged objectionable remarks during public speeches against him and his father Hari Singh Randhawa, terming them as “Gapaur Sankh” (gossiper) and misleading masses about Sikhism. Gurpreet had then claimed that his father was a Sikh preacher and, after 10 years of dedication, wrote the “Steek” (translation with meaning) of Guru Granth Sahib. He had alleged that Dhadrianwale had defamed him and other Sikh preachers who were students of his father. H S Dharni, Gurpreet’s counsel, said, “The criminal complaint was filed on Sept 17, 2021, and the case is in the arguments stage, with a hearing fixed this week.” Dhadrianwale, who has been advocating logical and scientific philosophy rather than preaching according to Sikh practices, has built gurdwara Parmeshar Dwar Sahib at Sheikhupur village of Patiala on the Patiala–Sirhind bypass. Earlier, Damdami Taksal chief Harnam Singh Dhumma landed in a conflict with him over the difference in ideology of narration of Sikh history and interpretation of Gurbani. On May 17, 2016, an attempt on Dhadrianwale’s life was made in which his fellow Sikh preacher Bhupinder Singh was killed. On July 5, 2021, Dhadrianwale appeared for over three hours before a SIT in Patiala in relation to the Kotkapura firing case, in which he is also one of the prime witnesses. The Kotkapura and Behbal Kalan firing case took place on Oct 14, 2015, when two Sikh activists died while some others were injured after police opened fire on people sitting in protest against the sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib that took place in Bargari on Oct 12, 2015.
