Michigan football has been on a recruiting tear the past few weeks, but as the Wolverines accumulated talent from around the country to fill the 2027 class, the big name that didn’t necessarily get the ball rolling, but got it to accumulate speed, was 2027 Chicago (Ill.) Mount Carmel four-star wide receiver Quentin Burrell.At 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, Burrell is highly ranked according to all three national recruiting services. He’s rated the highest by ESPN, which has him as the No. 57 player in the country, but Rivals is also quite high on him, ranking him No. 83 nationally. The Wolverines…
The New York Knicks haven’t reached the NBA Finals since the 1990s, when they played for a championship twice in the 1993-94 and 1998-99 seasons.As you might imagine, ticket prices have increased significantly for the 2025-26 edition:It makes sense that a fanbase that hasn’t seen a title in 53 years—the Knicks were last champions in the 1972-73 season—would be willing to pay extreme amounts of money to take part in the NBA Finals this time around. This Knicks team certainly appears to have some magic about it, winning 11 straight games in these playoffs. Granted, either the Oklahoma City Thunder…
There are 32 teams in the NFL, and over the course of his career, Aaron Rodgers has beaten 31 of them. With Rodgers announcing that he plans to retire at the end of the 2026 season, he’ll have one last chance to become just the fifth quarterback in NFL history to beat all 32 teams.Heading into the 2026 season, only four quarterbacks have beaten all 32 teams: Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and Brett Favre. (Joe Montana and Fran Tarkenton are kind of in the club, too. They never got a chance to beat all 32 teams, but they…

Luke Littler has offered to provide the tickets for the Prince of Wales for the World Championship at Alexandra Palace later this year.Littler, 19, received his MBE at Windsor Castle last week when Price William told him the event, which Littler won in 2025 and 2026, “looks like a good night out”.”Prince William said he’s been following the journey and we were just talking about how darts has blown up,” Littler told the Press Association.”I didn’t invite him, but if he needs a few tickets I’m sure myself or the PDC will sort some.”Littler rose to fame by reaching the…

(FOX Carolina) – North Greenville University announced the addition of women’s flag football.The university said women’s flag football will become its 21st NCAA-sponsored athletic program when competition begins in the 2027-28 academic year.“We are excited to see strategic growth in NGU’s athletics programming, with this emerging sport coming to campus,” said NGU President Dr. Gene C. Fant, Jr. “Women’s flag football has exploded in participation at the high school level, and we believe that this will provide a new pathway for some of these scholar-athletes to pursue degrees and cultivate the kind of life skills and disciplines that…
I’ve rediscovered the NBA in recent days. Not because NBC has returned to the roster of NBA broadcast partners (which doesn’t hurt), but because Victor Wembanyama is the most exciting and unique basketball talent since, in my own personal view, Michael Jordan.As a result, I’ve been paying closer attention to the NBA. It was hard to miss the ridiculous remarks made by Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson after Cleveland fell behind 3-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals. While watching the second half of Monday night’s blowout loss to complete the Knicks sweep, I made a simple observation on Twitter: “When is…
NFL media predicts the Raiders will have the same record as they did last season.There’s no question the Raiders have a rough schedule in 2026. While they face some of the weakest teams in the league, they also have a brutal lineup of some of the league’s top teams. And their tough opponents outweigh the winnable games.For that reason, my 2026 Raiders game-by-game predictions have them finishing with a losing record overall.That being said, there is obvious improvement in this team. They had the perfect storm of terrible last season. From a terribly coached offensive line to bad QB play,…
(Mark Robinson) Tyson Fury, well-known for dropping hints on social media, today appeared to announce that his next fight will take place in Dublin, Ireland, on August 1. The former heavyweight champion, 37 years old and on the comeback trail, last month outpointed Arslanbek Makhmudov over 12 rounds at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England. That victory marked his first action since losing two fights to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024. It was a win that Fury planned would lead straight to a money-spinning showdown with Anthony Joshua but, with Joshua opting to have a warm-up bout, Fury will now dow…
The New Zealand skipper added that his side did not have much to work off in terms of seeing their opponents in action in the Test format.”From an Ireland point of view there’s not a huge amount of footage of Test matches so for us it’s really important for us to adapt on the go and adapt to conditions as quickly as we can.”We’ve been here playing ODIs and T20 cricket so we have experienced this part of the world, and these conditions, before.”Fingers crossed, the weather remains sunny like this and we can get a full game in.”New Zealand…
