Another Summer scouting report is ready, this time on Clemson’s Sammy Brown.
(Mark Robinson / Goldstar Promotions) Tyson Fury is weighing up his options regarding his next fight, currently pencilled in for August, as he warms up for a proposed winter showdown with Anthony Joshua.

An iconic streak from Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was officially snapped on Sunday. The All-NBA teams were announced, and James wasn’t included on the list for the first time in 21 seasons, as he did not meet the 65-game threshold to be eligible for postseason awards. James, who missed the first few weeks of the year due to sciatica in his right side, played 60 games this season. While he didn’t make an All-NBA team, James is still contributing at a high level. He put up 20.9 points, 7.2 assists and 6.1 rebounds per game despite being 41…

It all matters whether these players end up on the Vikings, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Vikings fans can be…
SE: I think the best thing is when the first phone call… John will ring and he’ll be like, ‘Listen, I just had to phone you. They want you to fight, blah, blah,’ or ‘this is up for grabs,’ or ‘you’ve been made mandatory.’ That first realisation that there’s a fight, not even at the weigh-in or the press conference or even before the fight, getting your hands wrapped… That first phone call, and that first jitter you get, it’s a hard feeling to mimic. You know someone’s going through hell and back to do a job on you and…
