Here we go yet again. This club just will not learn, will it?. Once again, we’re lurching towards a new season without a recognised striker on the books. It’s been only six weeks since they were cooing about how they’d learned from past mistakes, but they just don’t get it.

Fan Letters: “Have Sunderland truly learned from past mistakes?”

A big allocation for a popular venue? Whoever arranged this pre-season friendly deserves a pat on the back!. Ever since this fixture was announced, I’ve been looking forward to the day trip and based on the number of old faces I bumped into, it obviously appealed to plenty of other members of the travelling support too.

Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

Snoop Dogg is the greatest thing to ever happen to the Olympics. There I said it. To be fair I have said this at least 14 times so far whether it be through various text messages to friends, out loud to my dogs or in my head over and over again. The Olympics in general rule and I am in no way trying to make this anything about the greatest athletes in the world competing for eternal glory, but how did we ever do this without Snoop being a part of it?

This must be what it sounds like to win gracefully. Silence, save for the moments when record-setting attendance applauds the most popular WNBA season yet. I, and many other dudes like me, would not handle victory this well. I’d be launching smug GIFs at anyone who once went out of their way to harp on the WNBA, heaping comeuppance posts at Bill Simmons and Clay Travis’ Twitter accounts every time raving news of the WNBA’s success hit (had they not blocked me already). WNBA fans should be running five-women weave victory laps in the face of anyone who poked fun at the league’s right to try and make a business out of a good time, and a professional sport out of great basketball.

The WNBA is finally getting the love it always deserved

Expectations are always high for France in men’s basketball at the Olympics, and that’s particularly the case this year with the country hosting the 2024 Paris Games. Victor Wembanyama’s Olympic debut is the major storyline for the French, but this team is so talented even beyond the 20-year-old wunderkind. France took silver in men’s basketball at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, and the bulk of that team returns this year (plus Wemby) for another medal run.

George Russell called his shot and delivered a stunning victory in the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday. After pitting on Lap 10, as one of the first drivers at the top of the field to come in for fresh tires, Russell told his team that they could consider making Sunday’s Grand Prix a one-stop race, flying in the face of all conventional wisdom and going against the grain of the rest of the drivers on the grid.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
