If you know one thing about Mike Piazza’s beef with Roger Clemens, it’s probably the moment in Game 2 of the 2000 World Series when Clemens threw a chunk of Piazza’s broken bat right back at Piazza. That’s definitely the climax of the feud, but it wasn’t an isolated incident.

We’ve seen only a few snippets of the work that’s been going on at the training ground so far, but the one thing that was immediately apparent was Enzo Maresca’s very much hands-on style. The new head coach is out there actively participating in drills — not all, but some — showing and not just telling what he wants his new charges to do.

Sometimes telling stories and sharing anecdotes just isn’t enough, and kids have to learn the hard way. A 16-year-old sprinter from England learned about the dangers of celebrating early in the most hilarious way at the U18 European Championships on Friday, and I promise you’re not ready for how bad this was.

This 16-year-old fell victim to the worst case of early celebration ever

Last season, Sunderland’s midfield was often outrun, outplayed, and outmuscled. Time and time again, the opposition cut through like a hot knife through butter and our defence came under pressure far more often than it should’ve done. We finished last season with a 0-2 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday,...

It’s not always easy being a short king, and Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young knows it more than anyone. The Panthers mortgaged the future to move up to the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft to select the 5’9 QB, but his rookie year was such a disaster Carolina ended up sending the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft back to the Chicago Bears to complete the deal. Young is only 22 years old, but he’s already facing a critical second season in Carolina as he reports to training camp.

I read that the club were promoted three times in a row to get to the 2nd tier of Spanish football - are they punching their weight or was this a redemption story?. This is very much a club punching above their weight - they achieve attendance of less than 5,000 for most home games and play in a small stadium.

The summer of Victor Wembanyama starts now. The 20-year-old wunderkind is about to be one of the faces of the 2024 Paris Olympics as he takes centerstage for his home country of France. The French are coming off a silver medal in men’s basketball at the last Tokyo Olympics, and the arrival of their 7’5 superfreak into the lineup is pushing the hype to the next level.

When general manager Brad Holmes and coach Dan Campbell took over the Detroit Lions in 2021, they knew they had a big task ahead of them to turn the franchise into a winner. Three years later, they were 30 minutes of football away from the Super Bowl and have exceeded expectations—even if they’re reluctant to take the credit.

The 19-year-old, who can play in both the defense and midfield strata, was monitored by Newcastle’s recruitment team throughout the 2023-24 season, according to Chris Waugh of The Athletic, and he visited Tyneside last month for discussions with club executives before reaching a deal with the Magpies.

LAS VEGAS — A smile broke across Bronny James’ face for the first time in recent memory, sweat dripping down his brow. He was surrounded by reporters in a hot, humid hallway in the bowels of Thomas and Mack arena, following his Lakers Summer League squad’s long awaited first win. The weight of the world had seemingly been proving cumbersome for the 19-year-old rookie: this particular game marked not only the squad’s first win, but the end to a summer-long three point shooting slump for him. The smile, it was clear, was more than just joy at finally securing his first win as a pro, but a more pressing emotion: relief.
