Newcastle manager Eddie Howe says he nearly drove off the road after hearing FA Cup draw vs. Man City

Drawing defending champions Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals was the last thing Eddie Howe wanted to hear as the Newcastle United manager prepares to face last year's treble winners for a fourth time this season.

Newcastle, who last won the trophy in 1955, will visit City on March 16 for the knockout fixture.

"I was driving at the time and I almost swerved off the road! It wasn't the draw we wanted, that's for sure," Howe told reporters on Friday.

The CBS Champions League crew provided fans with another golden moment on Wednesday. A video of Thierry Henry reacting to Kate Abdo and her appearance in 2007 has gone viral on social media.

The relationship and chemistry between Henry, Abdo, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards makes for endless entertainment. During Wednesday’s coverage the crew did a throwback bit where they looked at where each member of the cast was back in 2007.

Henry’s jaw nearly hit the desk when a clip of Abdo from many years ago appeared on screen.

Watch: Philadelphia Union open 2024 campaign with the most Concacaf own goal ever

A Philadelphia Union own goal during their 3-2 Concacaf Champions Cup victory vs. Costa Rica’s Deportivo Saprissa marked the return of Concacaf club play in all its glory.

One reason often given for MLS teams’ poor performances in Concacaf competitions is that the teams are still in preseason mode in February and aren’t in full form.

That couldn’t have been more the case for Jakob Glesnes and Andre Blake as they combined — or failed to combine — for a hilarious blooper on Tuesday.

Watch: Kelley O’Hara shares hilarious clip of her getting taken out by a practice dummy

Preseason serves as a great window to get rid of the rust and make mistakes to learn from even for veteran players. Gotham FC and USWNT star Kelley O’Hara shared just that on Wednesday in a hilarious video of her getting tackled by a motionless defender.

During NWSL preseason with defending champions Gotham, O’Hara was completely cleaned out by a defender. The good news is that there won’t be any hard feelings due to the fact that one of the players involved in the incident lacks the ability to have feelings.

Lionel Messi and Ted Lasso’s Michelob ad wins our favorite Super Bowl commercial

Enough time has passed that we can look back on Super Bowl 58 and all agree that the commercials were lackluster. That being said, our favorite was the Lionel Messi Super Bowl commercial with Ted Lasso actor Jason Sudeikis and a feature from NFL legend Dan Marino.

We’re not sure what it was but the commercials weren’t that memorable. Many ads followed the cookie-cutter format of somewhat recognizable celebrity does something goofy. It was either that or having to watch three dogshit Temu commercials or ANOTHER homes.com video.

Sydney Leroux pretending to be in a 2000’s music video is the laugh you needed today

One difficult part of being a content creator for a professional sports team is getting the athletes to agree to do funny videos or trends. Some people just hate being on camera and that’s fine.

What every creator on a team dreams of is having a personality like Angel City star Sydney Leroux on the squad. Having a player who doesn’t shy away from goofing off on camera can lead to some of the best content.

Leroux displayed that side of herself with a hilarious video posted on Monday of her pretending to be starring in 2000’s R&B music video. She nailed it.
