College World Series: 1 reason why each team could win the whole thing
It’s anybody’s guess who will become the 2025 Division I NCAA baseball champion, as none of the eight teams that have qualified for the College World Series made it this far a year ago. That’s the first time an entrant from the previous series hasn’t made a return trip since the tourney expanded in 1999….
The NHL’s state tax problem is real, no matter how much Gary Bettman wants to ignore it
Take a spin around social media during the Stanley Cup Finals and there’s no shortage of discussion about the impact of state income tax on the league. It’s become a hot-button issue in hockey for fans, many of whom unfairly attribute the success of the Panthers to their ability to sign players for less due…
F1 news: Mercedes hoping to reset at the Canadian Grand Prix after ‘challenging’ triple-header
Formula 1’s triple-header, which brought the grid from Italy to Monaco and finally Barcelona, was not kind to Mercedes.

Kirk Cousins is the final NFL quarterback domino left to fall, if it falls at all
It is mandatory minicamp time across the NFL, which means that we are about to get some of our offseason thirst quenched like a little kid running for a Capri-Sun after two straight hours of playing. If you know you know. What does or does not happen this week will help us bide our time…
Dallas Wings announce key player is out for the season
Another season-ending injury has impacted the WNBA. After missing several weeks due to a knee injury, the Dallas Wings announced Tuesday morning that guard Ty Harris underwent a procedure and will be out for the rest of the year.

The Knicks want Jason Kidd as head coach, but Mavs hold all the cards
The New York Knicks’ head coaching search always felt like it was going to get weird after firing Tom Thibodeau following the franchise’s longest playoff run in 25 years. Whispers about Jay Wright and Jeff Van Gundy never really passed the smell test, and hiring a first-timer like former assistant Johnnie Bryant would require enormous…
The Bengals are the Dollar General of the NFL
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: The Bengals are being cheap as hell. It’s another banner offseason for the low-cost leaders of the NFL, with standout defensive end Trey Hendrickson officially holding out as he didn’t report to minicamp on Tuesday. Sources: NFL sack leader Trey Hendrickson, who has not received the new…
Remembering Lusia Harris-Stewart, the original women’s basketball pioneer
The WNBA has existed long enough for it to have its own legends. Players like Maya Moore, Diana Taurasi, Candace Parker, the list goes on and on. Personally, I am just old enough to have seen Cappie Pondexter play in the Prudential Center in Jersey for a middle school trip. However, whenever we talk about…
The Savannah Bananas are the hottest ticket in sports, and it’s not even close
I’m in awe every time a clip of the Savannah Bananas pops up on social media. Not just because of the skill, or how fun they are to watch — but because it took this long for someone to just say “how about the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball?” At this point it’s impossible to deny…
New WNBA initiative allows girls to cosplay Caitlin Clark, Sabrina Ionescu in parks across the U.S.
Outdoor basketball courts nationwide will soon have the WNBA’s three-point line painted onto them. That’s thanks to a new WNBA initiative, ‘Line ‘Em Up’, an initiative aimed at bringing the women’s professional game closer to communities by painting the official WNBA three-point line on park basketball courts across the country.
