Prior to arguably the most anticipated Big Ten matchup of the season to date (No. 3 Michigan against No. 7 Michigan State), Wolverines head coach Dusty May made himself a meme. Sitting on the bench prior to the Friday night ranked matchup, the Michigan head coach was surrounded by a group of Michigan State fans yelling over his shoulder. What happened here? "I was actually just taking a peak," May […]

To understand how much this one stung Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo, whose team swept the season series against in-state rival Michigan last season and had won seven in a row over the Wolverines at the Breslin Center dating to 2018, all anyone needed to see was the consternation twisted into his face in the waning moments, the game already out of reach. There stood Izzo, already the recipient […]

INDYCAR has added an 18th race to its schedule, and this one will feature a lot of red, white and blue. The Freedom 250 around the streets of Washington, D.C., is set for Aug. 23 on FOX. Most of the grounds will be free admission. INDYCAR had discussed a Washington race last year, but ultimately, the planning didn’t get to a point where they felt they could have the event. […]

Each winter, the college football coaching carousel sets social media ablaze with speculation surrounding who might leave for new jobs, which athletic directors and donors will give their existing coach another chance and which up-and-comers might get a big opportunity for the first time. The frenzied discussion is reasonable, considering just how much can change when a team swaps head coaches in the modern era. Not only will a new […]

It's usually an act of desperation. One last roll of the dice that can produce the most spectacular results. At other times it can be the result of a shambolic mix-up. One for the blooper reel. It doesn't happen often, but when goalkeepers score, it's usually memorable for right or wrong reasons. Anatoliy Trubin's header in the eighth minute of stoppage time for Benfica against Real Madrid on Wednesday produced […]

For the more than 70 players who have worn the U.S. men's national team jersey since Mauricio Pochettino took over with a mandate to produce a good 2026 World Cup showing on home soil, March is the month that counts. The 48-team tournament — which the U.S. will co-host alongside North American neighbors Canada and Mexico — doesn’t kick off until June. Pochettino won’t name his 26-strong World Cup squad until […]

It may be the worst snub ever by the hall’s selection committee. But it wasn’t the first.
