There's something to be said for every baseball game featuring something you haven't seen before. Our latest example came in the New York Mets' Monday night road matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Mets reliever Craig Kimbrel was set to deliver a 2-2 pitch to Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani. Then, Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez started walking out to the mound to presumably stop […]

For a prospect like Ty Simpson, the NFL Combine was one of the busiest weeks of his life. It is, after all, the world’s most intense job fair, where NFL teams line up prospects to take MRIs and X-rays — of everything — before grilling them with questions about the good, bad and most scrutinized plays from their college careers. But at its core, the combine is a football convention, […]

Former Michigan Wolverines football coach Sherrone Moore faces a sentencing hearing Tuesday for misdemeanors related to a confrontation with his executive assistant soon after Moore's firing for having an inappropriate relationship with her. Moore pleaded no contest in March to trespassing and malicious use of a telecom device. The maximum possible penalty is six months in jail, though he has no previous criminal record and the judge will have much […]

The winner at the Food City 500 on Sunday wasn't just any winner. It was filled with meaning and importance. It represented Ty Gibbs' first NASCAR Cup Series race victory, and a tribute and celebration to the entire Gibbs family. "What a moment for the Gibbs family," Kevin Harvick said on the latest episode of "SPEED with Harvick and Buxton." "Yeah, man, felt like an emotional one, a really meaningful […]

The NBA regular season has finally — and mercifully — come to an end. While the end of the season was littered with blowouts and tanking (along with endless proposals on how to prevent tanking in the future), the postseason offers hope of a much more exciting and competitive brand of basketball. But before we get to the playoffs, the play-in tournament awaits. Six games will ultimately eliminate four teams, […]

There will be 32 players selected in the opening round of the 2026 NFL Draft, of course, but frankly, only a fraction of those truly deserve a first-round grade. While it is true that every year has several prospects selected in the first round that aren’t universally graded as top-round talents, the Class of 2026 is especially thin at the top. I stamped only 12 prospects this year with first-round […]

There is always a place in the NFL for a high-motor pass rusher with cat-like quickness and an exceptional closing burst. Given the importance of disrupting the quarterback’s rhythm and timing in a passing league, it is easy to understand why teams are buzzing about Texas Tech’s David Bailey as the premier edge rusher in the 2026 draft class. The 6-foot-4, 251-pound Bailey terrorized opponents in the Big 12, displaying […]

The WNBA draft is underway, as the league welcomes its newest rookie class on Monday night. With the No. 1 pick for the second straight year, the Dallas Wings opened the night by selecting Azzi Fudd, reuniting the 5-foot-11 guard with former UConn teammate Paige Bueckers. WNBA’s international flavor Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said before the draft started that the league is looking to play a game outside North America for […]

Aaron Judge and Trent Grisham both homered twice and the New York Yankees scored on a game-ending wild pitch in a three-run ninth inning to overcome Mike Trout’s two homers and five RBIs in an 11-10 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night that stopped a five-game losing streak. Judge and Jose Caballero each hit a two-run homer off Yusei Kikuchi for a 4-0 second-inning lead on an […]
