The last time that Team USA competed in the World Baseball Classic, Paul Skenes hadn't even made his major league debut yet. In fact, it wasn't until months later that the Pittsburgh Pirates would select him with the first overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft. Now a two-time All-Star and the reigning National League Cy Young winner, Skenes is one of the most feared pitchers in all baseball and […]

To be the best, you have to beat the best. That was certainly the case on Sunday as Kyle Kirkwood used an overtake of three-time reigning INDYCAR champion Alex Palou with 15 laps remaining to propel the No. 27 Andretti Global driver to victory at the inaugural Grand Prix of Arlington. While a late caution (the first of the entire race) set up a final lap shootout between Kirkwood and […]

The most anticipated — and nerve-racking — day on the college basketball calendar has arrived. Once the final five conference tournaments crown their champions, the attention turns to the unveiling of the 68-team field for this year’s NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. In his latest bracket projections, FOX Sports bracket forecaster Mike DeCourcy has Duke, Florida, Michigan and Arizona as No. 1 seeds. Michigan, Duke and Arizona have separated themselves from […]

LoanDepot Park (Miami) – The Venezuelans did it. They actually did it. Sparked by Ronald Acuña Jr.’s electric leadoff at-bat, the rest of Venezuela's stacked roster was not going to rest until it ended Japan’s title defense. It was always going to take a team effort to dethrone the Samurai and their intimidating championship pedigree. It was always going to be a highly competitive matchup, and boy, did it deliver. […]

We are down to the final four of the World Baseball Classic, and we'll have a new titleholder. Defending champion Japan is out after losing to Venezuela in Saturday's quarterfinals. The South American squad now joins two other star-studded casts and one espresso-powered surprise for the semifinals in Miami. Italy took down Puerto Rico earlier on Saturday and will now join the party in Miami, where the Azzurri will face […]

Unsurprisingly, the quote that reverberated around social media following UConn’s comfortable victory over Georgetown in the Big East Men's Basketball Tournament semifinals on Friday night came from head coach Dan Hurley. He was asked to share his thoughts on an impending matchup with top-seeded St. John’s, an opponent with whom the Huskies split their regular season contests, and Hurley provided another trademark quip. "It's going to be a death match […]

"Hello, A.J. … what's happening?" Star wide receiver A.J. Brown remains a member of the Philadelphia Eagles. Nonetheless, Brown's four-year stint with the Eagles (2022-25) has come against the backdrop of the three-time Pro Bowler publicly complaining about his role in the team's offense and rampant speculation about his relationship (or lack thereof) with quarterback Jalen Hurts. Just last season, Brown told fans to "get rid" of him if they […]

DAIKIN PARK (Houston) – As Team USA quashed a late charge from Canada on Friday night, Paul Skenes had already started the process of preparing for a seemingly indomitable machine. The reigning National League Cy Young Award winner, the best hope the United States has of getting back to the World Baseball Classic final, took off early to get ready for his Sunday start in Miami where a juggernaut will […]

DAIKIN PARK (Houston) – Once again, it did not come easily or stylishly for Team USA on Friday night, as evidenced by the subdued celebration on the field in the aftermath of its victory against its neighbors to the north. It seemed more like a sigh of relief than a scene of jubilation. But coming off a shocking pool-play loss to Italy that put its tournament hopes at risk, the […]
