It’s official. The Green Bay Packers face the Philadelphia Eagles in their Week 1 opener in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

As a European fan myself, I am always an advocate of the Packers’ international growth, but I understand the complaints of domestic fans who don’t want to lose the opportunity to watch their team play. . I understood! If my local sports team left Ireland to play thousands of miles away, I’d be pissed too.

Former Miami Dolphins linebacker Mike Kolen, who played a significant role in the team’s legendary undefeated season in 1972, passed away at the age of 76, as confirmed by Auburn University and the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame. Kolen, a standout at Auburn University, joined the Dolphins in 1970 and quickly became a key player, starting every game at right linebacker during his rookie season. He played a pivotal role in Miami’s historic run, which included a perfect 14-0 regular season and a victory in Super Bowl VII over the Washington Redskins. Despite being drafted in the 12th round, Kolen’s impact on the field was undeniable, earning him recognition as a key member of the renowned “No Name Defense” that anchored the Dolphins’ championship teams.
