Cape Verde made more World Cup history on Monday when Sidny Lopes Cabral won the public vote for goal of the tournament. Lopes Cabral’s curling shot into the far top corner of the Argentina net was a standout moment at the World Cup where the unheralded African team made a stellar debut. His goal tied defending champion Argentina at 2-2 in extra time of their thrilling round of 32 game […]

Thousands upon thousands of people will have a role in how the 2026 NFL season will play out. However, only a small percentage of that group will control the storylines this fall and who'll play for the Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl LXI at SoFi Stadium on Feb. 14. Who will those people be? Well, we know that quarterbacks have the strongest influence over the final result on the field. […]

The Red Sox are streaking, the Marlins are fading, and for the plethora of teams on the bubble, we’re finally nearing decision time. Every win or loss coming out of the All-Star break provides a bit more clarity as teams decide whether they’re buyers, sellers or somewhere in between. With one week to go before the Aug. 3 trade deadline, this week's Power Rankings features one second-half question for every […]

Yeeeeeehaw. Football is here. The offseason didn’t feel quite as long as normal, with the 2026 FIFA World Cup filling my schedule with outstanding sporting experiences. But, man, I’m excited for the NFL season to get underway. And even if we’re still a long way away from the regular season, there might not be any better time of year than training camp.

"I'm trying to do better at not comparing myself to others," Manning said Thursday, wearing a burnt orange […]

Three weeks ago, the Red Sox were an afterthought. They were a last-place club, facing the possibility of selling their top assets. Then Boston ripped off 15 wins in a row, tying a franchise record that dates back to Ted Williams, and suddenly the AL East looks different. Forget the Blue Jays. They've been lapped, dropped from the conversation entirely. The team the Yankees actually have to worry about just […]

It takes solid role players and contributors to chase a Super Bowl, but championship teams are usually led by core foundational players who make big plays in the critical moments of the game to bring home the Lombardi Trophy. Just look at last season’s Super Bowl run for the Seattle Seahawks.

In each of their last two marches to a World Series championship, the Dodgers’ deadline needs were much more pressing and obvious than they are right now. In 2024, the Dodgers made their desire for an impact arm abundantly clear and traded for the best starter available in Detroit’s Jack Flaherty.
