Interim UFC Heavyweight Championship Aspinall vs Blaydes

With Jon Jones’ heavyweight title seemingly in stasis until further notice, Aspinall gets the chance to keep chugging along as interim champion until something shakes out. He also gets to avenge his only UFC loss in the process. Aspinall got a solid bit of hype as England’s best heavyweight prospect ahead of his UFC debut in 2020, but it was still a shock to see how quickly he ran up the division. He wielded a rare combination of size and speed, and most of Aspinall’s first few adversaries were unable to make it out of the first round before getting knocked […]

Jarren Duran named All-Star Game MVP after HR fuels AL win

On a night when Paul Skenes, baseball’s pitching phenom, toed the rubber for a historic All-Star Game start, and Shohei Ohtani, the sport’s brightest star, demolished a home run for the National League, it was a former top prospect enjoying a breakout season who stole the show at the 2024 All-Star Game on Tuesday. Boston Red Sox center fielder Jarren Duran completed the American League’s comeback 5-3 triumph at Globe Life Field with a two-run homer off Cincinnati Reds fireballer Hunter Greene. With the blast, the first by a Red Sox player at an All-Star Game since Adrian Gonzalez in 2011, Duran became the fifth player in franchise history […]

Carlos Alcaraz sweeps Novak Djokovic, wins 2nd Wimbledon title

After winning his first Wimbledon title in 2023 versus seven-time champion Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz fell to the ground in disbelief after what he had achieved. It had been a nearly five-hour battle, needing five sets and with the momentum constantly shifting between the two. On Sunday, there was no such dramatic celebration, nor much drama of any kind. Instead, Alcaraz broke Djokovic in a 13-minute marathon opening game, converting on his fifth break point, and largely dominated the rest of the 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (4) match. By the end of the 2-hour, 27-minute clash on Centre Court, Alcaraz had collected his fourth […]

France move past Belgium into Euro quarters on late own goal

Substitute Randal Kolo Muani’s shot forced an own goal five minutes from time to give France a nervy but deserved 1-0 Euro 2024 round-of-16 victory over a disappointing Belgium on Monday. France made most of the running in a cagey game but were reckless with their finishing, until a nice combination of passes, finished off by N’Golo Kanté, finally created space for Kolo Muani to bundle his shot in off the leg of Jan Vertonghen. France will now meet the winner of Monday’s match between Portugal and Slovenia in the quarterfinals in Hamburg on Friday. “We’re enjoying this, we pushed hard, we had a lot of attempts but we were missing […]

Jacksonville approves $1.4B renovation of Jaguars stadium

The Jacksonville City Council voted 14-1 Tuesday night to approve an agreement between the Jaguars and the city on a $1.4 billion renovation of EverBank Stadium. That brings the Jaguars one step closer to securing the long-term stability of the franchise, with the final hurdle getting the agreement approved by 24 of the NFL’s 32 owners at the league’s meetings in October in Atlanta. If that happens, construction is scheduled to start after the team’s 2025 season concludes and will finish in time for the 2028 season. “This is a historic day for our city,” Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan said. “As I […]

Padres put Fernando Tatis Jr. on IL with stress reaction in thigh bone

Padres star right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. stated he might not return from a stress reaction in his right thigh bone until after the All-Star Game. Tatis was placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday after dealing with the injury for essentially the whole season. “It’s a huge gap,” Tatis said when asked about the timetable for his return. “I don’t want to put it out there because people are going to expect stuff. But it’s going to be some time. We know with the right stuff we’re trying to aim after the All-Star Game, but we’re talking about something serious in […]

Mets say Jorge Lopez’s post-ejection glove toss ‘not acceptable’

The New York Mets held a players-only team meeting Wednesday night after getting swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers with a 10-3 loss that included another late-inning bullpen implosion and reliever Jorge Lopez throwing his glove into his stands after being ejected. The score was tied at 3-3 heading into the eighth inning before the Dodgers scored six times against three relievers. One was Lopez, who took issue with third-base umpire Ramon De Jesus’ ruling on a check swing from Shohei Ohtani. Lopez wound up surrendering a two-run home run to Ohtani. He kept arguing with De Jesus while falling behind 3-1 to Freddie Freeman before the umpire ejected […]

Jaylen Brown’s 3 rescues Celtics in Game 1 thriller vs. Pacers

The Indiana Pacers, massive underdogs in these Eastern Conference finals, coming off a dramatic triumph over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden to advance to this series 48 hours earlier, had the ball and were up three with 10 seconds left. They only needed to inbound the ball and hit a free throw to seal the victory. But then Indiana threw the ball away, giving the Celtics life. And after a spectacular inbounds pass from Jrue Holiday — one of many spectacular moments from him en route to a 28-point, 7-rebound, 8-assist, 3-steal performance — to Jaylen Brown in the corner permitted Brown to rise […]

Liverpool back on track with 4-2 win over hapless Spurs

Liverpool finally found some form in a 4-2 Premier League triumph over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in much-loved manager Juergen Klopp’s penultimate game at Anfield. Strikes from Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott secured a much needed victory for Klopp’s men, who had won one of their previous five league matches and seen their title challenge crumble. While still mathematically in with a chance finishing top of the pile, they are five points off leaders Arsenal in the table with two games left and four points behind holders Manchester City, who have a game in hand over both. “It was a disappointing few weeks where the results were not what we […]

Astros’ Alvarez 3rd player with two 460-foot-plus HRs in game

Before the first of two games in Mexico City, Houston Astros manager Joe Espada stated he hoped that the trip could help them solve their offensive struggles. Apparently, it worked. Yordan Alvarez hit two home runs, Kyle Tucker added a solo shot and the Houston Astros defeated the Colorado Rockies 12-4 on Saturday night in the MLB World Tour: Mexico City Series to snap a five-game losing streak. Alvarez hit a two-run homer to center field and Tucker followed with a shot to left field and the Astros took a 4-2 lead in the third. Alvarez hit his seventh home run of the season in the ninth […]
