One of the most electric moments in baseball over the last decade didn’t happen in October. It didn’t come under the weight of a 162-game grind, or for the prize of a Commissioner's Trophy. It came in March, with two countries stopping time, holding their breath, as Shohei Ohtani toed the rubber 60 feet and six inches from his then-longtime teammate, Mike Trout. Two of the greatest players in Major […]

Let’s get one thing straight: the top spot in my men's college basketball Player of the Year Ladder isn't up for debate. Duke freshman forward Cameron Boozer stands alone. But behind him? Absolute mayhem. Illinois freshman guard Keaton Wagler delivered back-to-back impressive outings this past week, going for 19 points, eight rebounds and six assists against UCLA, and then following that up with a team-high 23-points against Michigan. Those performances […]

What comes to mind when you think of the top men's FIFA World Cup moments? It could be Diego Maradona carving through England's defense for the Goal of the Century. Or, a legend like Pele or Lionel Messi raising the trophy up high into the sky. It could be something more controversial, like Cristiano Ronaldo's wink after getting Wayne Rooney sent off. When the World Cup comes to North America […]

Ready or not, here it comes. Only 100 days until the World Cup commences, and we're in store for a tournament for the ages. And there will be plenty of attention on the United States men's national team, who are one of the three tournament co-hosts alongside Canada and Mexico. There's not much time left before the USA play their first match on June 12 against Paraguay in Los Angeles. […]

When it comes to the U.S. men’s national team, there are plenty of players in the pool who fans are keeping regular tabs on. Beyond the best-friend trio of Christian Pulisic, Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie, there are other players who'll be under the spotlight with only 100 days before the World Cup begins. USA manager Mauricio Pochettino will name his 26-man roster in May, and we’ll get a glimpse […]

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.)

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.

No. 2 Arizona received four first-place votes after clinching a share of the Big 12 […]
