Ty Gibbs has six consecutive finishes of sixth or better, with his latest finish being his best. The 23-year-old Joe Gibbs Racing driver’s victory last Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway allowed him to continue to climb in these rankings. Tyler Reddick, though, with four wins and six top-10 finishes in the eight races this year, remains in the No. 1 spot. Here are my power rankings heading into the race […]

There is always baseball happening — almost too much baseball for one person to follow themselves. Don't worry, we're here to help you by figuring out what you missed but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: Yankees streak ends on a walk-off… wild pitch The Yankees started out 8-2, but then lost five-straight games, which did two things: allowed other AL […]

There are bad starts. Then, there's Garrett Crochet's Monday night outing against the Minnesota Twins. The Boston Red Sox ace, who was a finalist for the 2025 American League Cy Young Award, surrendered 11 runs (10 earned), 12 baserunners (nine hits and three walks), two home runs and was pulled after 1.2 innings in an eventual 13-6 loss to Minnesota. Of the 55 pitches that Crochet threw, 25 were balls. […]

Matt Crocker is leaving his position as U.S. Soccer’s sporting director with immediate effect to take a similar role with Saudi Arabia, multiple sources told me on Monday. Assistant sporting director Oguchi Onyewu, head of women's development Tracey Kevins and Dan Helfrich, the organization's COO, will assume Crocker's duties in the lead-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico this […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 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, […]
