The 2026 FIFA World Cup will start in 100 days and even sooner than that, United States men's national team coach Mauricio Pochettino will sit down and choose the 26 players he's going to call up for the tournament. Trying to get into Pochettino's head is dangerous, as I said before when he first started. For much of his first months, I did not see a method to the madness; […]

INDIANAPOLIS — There was plenty of discussion all last week regarding whether the 2026 NFL Draft class might underwhelm both at the combine and on the field this fall. Time will tell on the latter. But man, the top prospects were outstanding during their workouts in Indy. They demonstrated elite athleticism that, maybe, folks didn’t see coming. (I didn't.) The 2026 class generated real buzz for draft day. I'm much […]

Duke is No. 1 in The Associated Press men's college basketball poll for the second straight week, extending its all-time record with the program's 149th appearance in the top spot. The Blue Devils received 55 of 59 first-place votes in Monday's poll following lopsided wins over Notre Dame and then- No. 11 Virginia last week. No. 2 Arizona received four first-place votes after clinching a share of the Big 12 […]

The top conference races are coming to a clear end: Duke flexed its muscle on Virginia, Michigan dominated Illinois in Champaign, Florida beat Arkansas by a million points, and Arizona blew out Kansas to pretty much seal regular-season titles. The Big East and West Coast Conference are still up for grabs, though! And there is a Miami school in the top 25 for the first time this year! Here’s the […]

Tyler Reddick went from no wins in 2025 to making history in 2026. The 23XI Racing driver won Sunday at Circuit of the Americas to become the first driver in Cup Series history to open the season with three consecutive victories. In dominating on a road course, Reddick’s victory at COTA — even though he won there in 2023 — might have been the most impressive of the three, which […]

Michael Jordan achieved two three-peats during his NBA career. On Sunday, he achieved another, in a different sport when 23XI Racing driver Tyler Reddick earned the checkered flag at the NASCAR Cup Series race at the Circuit of The Americas in Austin. Reddick became the first NASCAR driver in history to start a season by winning the first three races, including the season-opening Daytona 500. Jordan might have a knack […]

INDIANAPOLIS — The primary purpose of the NFL Scouting Combine is for teams to gather intel on the top prospects in the upcoming draft and scout them in simulated drills. However, the week in Indianapolis also gave us several tea leaves to read on what to expect in the NFL this offseason. Will Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby get traded? What does George Pickens' franchise tag mean for the Cowboys? […]

St. Petersburg, Fla — The more things change, the more they stay the same. While several organizations had changes in the offseason as far as their driver lineup, the driver who has dominated the series over the last year continued to blister the competition. Alex Palou, who won eight races in 2025 on the way to his third consecutive INDYCAR title (and fourth overall), won the 2026 season-opening St. Petersburg […]

Jameis Winston quarterbacked the mic during the pre-race festivities at INDYCAR's Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on Sunday. And yes, he also had a pre-race speech for one of the drivers. Winston gave Dennis Hauger a pep talk ahead of the rookie's first INDYCAR race at St. Pete. He also gave him a nickname, calling Hauger the "Norwegian Nightmare." "Age ain't nothing but a number," Winston told the 22-year-old […]
