data-mm-id=”_bbfm35fw5″>Spring training is underway and Major League Baseball's new pitch clock is causing all kinds of chaos. Both pitchers and batters are being penalized for not going about their business fast enough as the push to speed games up and cram more action into tighter windows has hit the ground running. And to be quite honest, I hate it. I hate the pitch clock a lot. Instead of enumerating the reasons completely, let me throw out the idea that it's an anathema to the entire spirit of the game out there to see if it lands.After the initial rage over incidents like the one below passes, though, it's easy to see through the fog and concede that, ultimately, this initiative will be a net positive, even if its neccesity is very much up for debate. Bottom of the…
data-mm-id=”_4rusblzw9″>Donald Trump is back on the campaign trail and remains the GOP front-runner for the 2024 election despite facing indictments in multiple cases. On Tuesday he was in New Hampshire giving a speech and apparently the room was really hot. And I don't mean people were fired up, I mean the temperature was borderline unbearable. That led to Trump complaining about the air conditioning in the building.

data-mm-id=”_q7z3tv42c”>Justin Herbert is dealing with a fractured middle finger on his left hand. He originally hurt the finger when it got caught in the helmet of a Las Vegas Raiders player during the Chargers Week 4 victory. Over the last couple weeks he's tried various combinations of casts and wraps and gloves to try to protect the finger, but for the team's Sunday Night Football game against the Chicago Bears, Herbert just taped that sucker up so he would spend the game giving everyone the finger. Chicago Bears v Los Angeles Chargers / Joe Scarnici/GettyImagesHerbert is sporting a hard plastic splint underneath that wrap according to Melissa Stark. Not that it's been an issue. Herbert completed all six of his passes on the Chargers opening drive, capping it with a …
data-mm-id=”_j3qnb67mn”>Every guy likes to think he wouldn't be the dude who ends up going viral because he swings and misses at a exploding ball as part of a gender reveal party or whatever. It happens to plenty of other people but surely it would not happen to him. "I'd hit that out of the park," is the thought that occurs to every man in existence when watching such a gender reveal gaffe. But if even David Ortiz misses, well… it's hard to really believe that anymore. On Monday night, Ortiz was having a gender reveal party and got a nice softball down the middle to take a cut at. He completely, utterly, and totally whiffed. It didn't even seem like he got close, which led to an amusing scene of Ortiz bending over to grab the ball while the blue confett…
data-mm-id=”_d9qm2qkjj”>The Boston Celtics blew out the Washington Wizards on Sunday afternoon. Sam Hauser started in place of Jaylen Brown and went off, scoring 30 points, all on three-pointers. Hauser could have had a shot at breaking the NBA record for most three-pointers in a game, but sprained his ankle with just under eight minutes remaining in the third quarter.Since Hauser only rolled his ankle and was able to immediately walk off the court on his own, I think it's safe for everyone to laugh at the absurdity of this clip. First, it begins with NBC Sports Boston's Drew Carter and Brian Scalabrine discussing whether or not Hauser would break Klay Thompson's record (14 3's) and mere seconds later Hauser was rolling around on the floor in pain. We need to respec…
data-mm-id=”_dpp7ymsls”>UConn and Purdue are facing off in the national title game Monday night. The Huskies lead 36-30 at the half in a back-and-forth contest. Zach Edey has been excellent for Purdue, but drew the ire of UConn coach Dan Hurley at one point. During a break in the action that came after a hard screen from Edey, Hurley stormed onto the court to confront the officials. He thought Edey should have been called for a foul. As he yelled at the officials, Edey turned and said something, which led to Hurley yelling at Edey. It was a tense moment. Here's video:pic.twitter.com/vWeZ0zuNkn— wow that was crazy (@CowardlyDoggo) April 9, 2024Look, I'm an Indiana alum and I can't stand Purdue. Even I can see that was a clean screen by Edey. And while I'm thrilled …

Due to the financial restrictions imposed by the Premier League s profit and sustainability regulations (PSR), United will head into this summer needing to offload high earners and generate transfer income to release funds for the recruitment of new signings.
Sources have told ESPN that United do have headroom to add to the squad, but a net spend of £100 million is likely to be the limit of expenditure.
There have been rumours that as many as 12 players could leave Man Utd in the summer as they look for a fresh start with Ogden adding that Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial are definitely gone.
Raphaël Varane as free agents, and their departures will free up around £450,000-a-week in wages. Christian Eriksen is attracting interest from Turkey and will …
Kieran Tierney admits that he expects to be sold by Arsenal this summer but is prepared to stay and fight for a starting spot in Mikel Arteta s side.
Tierney joined from Celtic for around £25million in 2019 and won the FA Cup in his first season at the club.
The Scottish left-back has struggled with several injuries during his time in north London and fell out of favour at the start of last season following the signing of Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Zinchenko was brought in to play as an inverted left-back, a role that does not suit galloping old-school full-back Tierney, and after a difficult 2022/23 campaign, the 26-year-old joined Spanish side Real Sociedad on a season-long loan.
A permanent transfer away from the Gunners this summer feels inevitable and T…
Vincent Kompany is on the verge of becoming Bayern Munich s new manager and has reportedly set his sights on a very unhappy Manchester City star as his first transfer.
is set to be appointed as the new Bayern boss after talks on Wednesday after he earned promotion to the Premier League as Burnley boss last season before taking them straight back down.
The Belgian s whole backroom staff is set to follow him to Bayern, who have been frustrated in their attempts to find a successor for Thomas Tuchel.
After they failed in bids to land Xabi Alonso and Ralf Rangnick, they are now set to welcome Kompany, who has also managed Anderlecht and captained Manchester City to great success in his time as a player.
