This is an especially fun time to talk quarterbacks. We have yet to see teams take a single snap in training camp — let alone in a padded practice. And this year, there’s no real consensus on which QBs are among the elite. There’s even less consensus around the quarterbacks ranked from No. 9 to No. 19. The beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But that’s what makes the ranking […]

NEW YORK — Allow me to imagine a scenario for a moment. Indulge me with this fantasy. Months from now. Perhaps years. When the World Cup is long gone. I will be having coffee at my favorite spot in downtown Manhattan, a Puerto Rican establishment right by the historic Stone Street, paved in the late 1700s and one of the oldest streets of the city. I’ll sit down with Erling […]

NEW YORK NEW JERSEY STADIUM — I’ve often joked that ranking World Cups is like choosing between your children: They’re all different and unique. You don’t love one above another. It just doesn’t work that way. The 2026 FIFA World Cup was the sixth, men’s or women’s, that I’ve had the privilege of covering. The first five took me to Brazil, Canada, France, Qatar, Australia and New Zealand. Each was […]

Yes, we did an NFL Half-Decade Team last year, but if you're a strict follower of the Gregorian calendar, we're technically only halfway through the decade now. If you're not a strict follower, consider this an update. In any case, the NFL in the 2020s has already featured quarterback brilliance, record-shattering receiver play and iconic postseason thrillers. Over the past six seasons, legends such as Tom Brady have retired, current […]

Earlier in June, days before the start of the 2026 World Cup, as I began to walk around the streets of New York in order to get a better sense of the energy that was building towards the tournament, I decided to head to Jackson Heights in Queens. For those who don’t know, the neighborhood is a world within itself. It is a multicultural melting pot, a micro-community where blocks […]

Spain is the FIFA World Cup champion for the second time ever after a 1-0 extra-time victory over Lionel Messi and Argentina at New York New Jersey Stadium on Sunday to close the largest edition of the tournament in history. With the first 48-team World Cup now complete, there were many players who put together fabulous performances throughout the tournament. But only 11 can be picked for the World Cup […]

Norway taking down Brazil, England knocking Mexico out, Lionel Messi's continued excellence, Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha's meteoric rise, an incredible Golden Boot race and star-studded semifinals — the 2026 World Cup delivered some incredible moments, and it's hard to pick a favorite. There were so many thrilling and outrageous matches and tons of fun off the pitch, and FOX Sports ranked the 50 best moments. But we want to weigh […]

Just as we saw a new generation of elite young players make big strides in the World Cup's immense global spotlight, we also saw what is likely the curtain call for some of the greatest and most beloved players of all time. Nothing is ever known until a player formally retires, and even then, some players come out of international retirement when asked. But with a very high degree of […]

Here's what's happening this week Inside The Garage: NASHVILLE SUPERSPEEDWAY (Lebanon, Tenn.) — Christian Lundgaard admits he was surprised. A driver who has two wins in a season is rarely told he won’t be offered a new contract for the next season. But he also knows he has, in a way, no choice but to move on from the decision made by the Arrow McLaren brass. And, frankly, most expect […]
