Yeah yeah AJ Dybantsa looks legit but have you SEEN Will Riley?
AJ Dybantsa is big. Not exactly a deep insight, but it really shows
Hard to think of a bigger buzkill than losing 4-1 to a team that brought their two best attackers on as subs and didn't even play the third.
The United States men's national soccer team has expressed interest in signing LeBron James, according to a goalscoring striker who requested anonymity because he is currently playing a game.
All seven goals England have scored in this World Cup have come from players that didn't play in England last year.
Whatever happens to replay only overturning "clear and obvious" errors?
Chris Vannini@chrisvannini.com · last mo.Iran was offsides by this much. Would've sent them to the Round of 32. (And then they hit the crossbar a few minutes later)
Could not agree more with this. The second-day second round is boring as hell. www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...
NBA Draft 2026 Round 2 live updates: Every pick, best available players, latest news and rumors
I'm not sure why the 2nd round of the draft is its own night, but it's got worse vibes than when it wasn't. No crowd. No energy. The 2nd round used to have that bar-at-the-end-of-the-night energy. Now...

And this is why I was against the Traed. This sort of contract conclusion was inevitable. The 4D chess of acquiring him to trade him later as an expiring contract was always folly. www.nytimes.com/athletic/738...

Paraguay cut it to 15 in the third quarter but the 30-point deficit was too much to overcome.
The regular-season was kind of a slog this year, outside of Victor Wembanyama's emergence. The playoffs? Just incredible. Somehow better than last year's playoffs, which were pretty amazing too.

Donald Trump, James Dolan tried to ruin NBA Finals vibe. The Knicks’ loss killed it (Gift Article)

One thing I'm watching for Game 2 is 3-point shooting regression. Both teams were bad in Game 1, though the level of defense was so good that it wasn't just missing shots. Will someone be better? Here's from our live blog for Game 2 (which you should follow tonight) www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...
