By next Tuesday, all 48 spots in the 2026 World Cup – the largest-edition in tournament history – will be filled. Until then, there's a lot of important soccer happening around the world. There are four mini-tournaments taking place in UEFA, the European soccer confederation, that will fill four important spots at this summer's World Cup. Three of those four spots will get matched up with one of the three […]

After an incredible finish to 2025, culminating with one of the best World Series in baseball history, it’s exciting to see what the 2026 Major League Baseball season has in store for us. Will the Dodgers become the first team in over two decades to win three consecutive World Series? Will the Yankees win their first championship since 2009? In a long season that will take us until midway through […]

Expectations are rising on the North Side of Chicago. After breaking a four-year playoff drought, the Cubs know that simply getting a spot in the dance won’t be enough in 2026. Not after the breakouts of Pete Crow-Armstrong and Cade Horton. Not after the additions of Alex Bregman and Edward Cabrera. And not after losing in the National League Division Series to a Brewers team that won the NL Central […]

A minute before halftime of the inaugural Fanatics Flag Football Classic last weekend, Team USA’s Velton Brown Jr. caught a pass just past midfield. He surveyed the open field around him and scanned the defense. Then he accelerated. As Team Wildcats' Luke Kuechly tried to pull one of his flags from behind, Brown contorted his body mid-sprint to make the Hall of Fame linebacker miss. When veteran NFL receiver DeAndre […]

Florida’s Boogie Fland was driving to the basket with 1:10 remaining and a three-point lead over Iowa when Hawkeyes forward Cooper Koch stepped into the lane, swatted at the ball, and it sailed out of bounds. Officials ruled it Gators ball. Iowa coach Ben McCollum quickly consulted video coordinator Jace Smith, who checked his iPad and nodded yes — go for it. "I had a very clear view," Smith said. […]

Paul Skenes' first start of the 2026 season might not have even lasted a New York minute. The Pittsburgh Pirates' ace surrendered five runs in his Opening Day start against the New York Mets, and was pulled after pitching just ⅔ of an inning. All five runs were earned, with the Mets logging four hits and two walks off Skenes before he drilled catcher Francisco Alvarez. Skenes also recorded a […]

Roy Hobbs wanted to be "the best there ever was." Notre Dame Fighting Irish running back Jeremiyah Love will settle for less, but he still has lofty NFL aspirations. "I want to be one of the best of all time," Love, a potential top-10 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, said at Notre Dame's Pro Day on Tuesday, according to ABC57. "I want to be a Hall of Famer. I […]

Three races. Three winners. Three points leaders. Following a season where Alex Palou led the entire year and captured five of the first six races, INDYCAR has enjoyed a little more parity to start 2026. If someone other than Palou, Josef Newgarden or Kyle Kirkwood leads the points after the race Sunday at Barber Motorsports Park, it would be only the second time since 1996 that the points leader has […]

Ty Simpson felt like he made a final impression at Alabama's pro day in front of NFL scouts. The Crimson Tide quarterback went through a 40-plus-minute throwing session Wednesday for dozens of the league's key decision makers. He previously threw at the NFL Scouting Cmbine in February but elected to go through another workout in Tuscaloosa. "Why not?" Simpson said. "Go have fun. Go sling it. You watch the tape […]
