Ronaldo adds a lot more interruptions for Portugal by skipping news meeting

Cristiano Ronaldo was out of sight at the Planet Cup on Wednesday afternoon, but definitely not out of head.  

Who are we kidding, when is Ronaldo at any time “out of thoughts?”

The Portugal superstar, just hrs immediately after it was declared he experienced sensationally left his club, Manchester United, by mutual consent, and that he has been suspended and fined by the Soccer Affiliation for two matches with regardless of what club he lands with next, skipped his media duties as countrywide group captain and was changed by teammate Bruno Fernandes at the squad’s formal FIFA information meeting forward of its Thursday clash with Ghana in Team H (11 a.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports application). 

When Ronaldo talks, it is a large tale. When he doesn’t, it is arguably an even more substantial one particular.

Ronaldo, Manchester United concur to component approaches

Ronaldo, Manchester United agree to part ways

Mo Edu, Kate Abdo, Chad Ochocinco and Cobi Jones respond to Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure from Manchester United.

At any time due to the fact the six-time Planet Footballer of the 12 months fell out of favor at English Leading League club United, it has been a whirlwind. The form of whirlwind that only a dude who is one of the most well known folks on Earth, with an Instagram-report following of 502 million, can make.

Soon after his romance with club supervisor Erik ten Hag deteriorated, Ronaldo introduced into an explosively vital interview with Piers Morgan times ahead of the Globe Cup. Unsurprisingly, the encompassing ruckus has comprehensively overshadowed the guide-up to Portugal’s marketing campaign. 

Consider as they might, Portugal head mentor Fernando Santos, Fernandes and even Ronaldo himself have been unable to shift the concentrate on to the team’s initiatives to contend for the title as just one

Jerry Jones says Dan Quinn ‘would love’ Cowboys’ head coaching job, adds Mike McCarthy will be gone ‘someday’

Dan Quinn had multiple opportunities to potentially become an NFL head coach again this offseason before returning to the Cowboys as the team’s defensive coordinator. That’s partly because there’s a good chance he’ll soon be the Cowboys’ head coach. Or at least that’s what team owner Jerry Jones strongly suggested while addressing reporters this week, saying Quinn would “love” the job and is qualified for it, while acknowledging that current coach Mike McCarthy won’t always hold the post.

McCarthy, who just finished his second season on the job, received assurances in January that he’d remain the coach for the 2022 season, according to CBS Sports’ Patrik Walker, albeit with expectations of a deeper playoff run next year. Jones, meanwhile, has been a bit less publicly committal than CEO Stephen Jones, and his comments this week were another reminder. Calling Quinn’s return to the defensive coordinator job “a major coup,” the owner said he wanted other teams interested in Quinn “to be thinking that they were talking to a guy who could be head coach of the Cowboys.”

Jones, of course, acknowledged that McCarthy is the guy for now, and that he’s comfortable with the former Packers coach entering 2022 atop the staff. But he repeatedly left the door open for Quinn, the ex-Falcons head coach, to take over. His first hint came when referencing Quinn alongside former assistants Jason Garrett and Sean Payton, who were once also sought by other teams as potential head coaches.

“(Quinn) stays here because … every one of those three coaches have said they’d love to be the head coach of the Cowboys,” Jones
