When word emerged last year that Nicholas Cage will take a break from making a nonstop string of movies to play John Madden in yet another movie, it was a curiosity. We didn’t know then what we know now. Christian Bale appears in the same film, as the legendary Al Davis. Cage has been in some things that, well, aren’t good. Bale’s work rarely lands in that category. The mere mention of Bale’s name gives Madden cachet. Up the ying yang. (If you’re never seen The Prestige, what are you waiting for? If you start now, you will have...

The Historical Overview Committee will develop the ballot of eight names...

Basketball fans clapped back at the NBA for allegedly “rigging” the Draft Lottery after the Dallas Mavericks won the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes. After shockingly losing to Houston in the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament, Flagg announced that he’d be entering his name in the 2025 NBA Draft. The Naismith Player of the Year is considered the consensus first overall pick, with Jayson Tatum, Colin Cowherd and Charles Barkley all expressing confidence that he will excel at the next level. The Mavericks, meanwhile, endured a brutal 2024-25 campaign highlighted by the three-team blockbuster trade that sent Luka Doncic to the...

A young female rugby player who was left screaming in agony after a transgender rival tore apart her knee ligaments has accused sporting chiefs of letting her down. Elena King, 20, suffered a torn ACL and MCL in January in the Netherlands after her biologically male opponent popped her left knee out of its socket with a rash challenge. Now facing lifelong pain and six months of physiotherapy just to run again, she is asking why the Dutch Rugby Association allows transgender athletes to compete against women.

WWE is saddened to learn that Terry Brunk, known to wrestling fans as Sabu, has passed away. WWE extends its condolences to Sabu’s family, friends and fans.

OPINION: What are the chances? That thing that “never happens” happened yet again last week: A biological male competing against females won first place in two track events. It happened in (surprise!) Maine, which so far has held firm against President Trump’s executive order banning biological men from competing against women in interscholastic athletics. In what appears to have been a tri-meet, North Yarmouth Academy junior Soren Stark-Chessa won the girls 800 meter and 1600 meter (mile) runs, the latter by almost 20 seconds. As noted by Outkick, the 800 event was a closer race with Yarmouth High’s Lilah Connor...

Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) Chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Greene got into screaming matches and a gavel-smashing marathon at Wednesday's hearing on protecting women's sports. The hearing on "Unfair Play: Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports" featured a signature rant by Rep. Nancy Mace, R-SC, and Rep. Lateefah Simon, D-Cal, suggest that protecting women's sports will lead to bringing back racial segregation. Mace ensured the hearing ended with a boom when she got into a heated back-and-forth with witness Fatima Goss Graves, CEO of the National Women's Law Center. Mace hit Goss Graves with one of the oldest tricks...

The NCAA is coming to ready to adjudicate the case of the century. The NCAA has the most important case in their history. Already they have lost on NIL and paying players, but they still have rules for cheating, lying, and advanced scouting (stealing). Michigan is beging to realize with the notice(s) of allegations, and the upcoming hearings, that their PR machine is beginning to crack. The National Media is beginning to clue in on what was going on. In part there was a FBI investigation that gave the university cover, because the NCAA could not move forward until they...

There’s something about eating a hot dog at a baseball game that makes those tubes of meat hit different, and the Brewers recently took advantage by launching a new promotion that lets fans get a free one at every contest they attend. However, it was greeted with some backlash after people who signed up discovered they still had to pay sales tax on each purchase.

Embattled kicker Justin Tucker was cut by the Ravens on Monday, general manager Eric DeCosta announced. The news comes 24 hours after head coach John Harbaugh had adamantly told reporters that any decision on Tucker’s future would be “based on football.” Tucker had been accused of inappropriate behavior by 16 massage therapists in the Baltimore area during a span between 2012 and 2016, which had first been reported by the Baltimore Banner in January. The longtime Ravens kicker has denied the accusations on multiple occasions, saying that they were “simply not true.”

Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham was on the receiving end of some brutal treatment by the Washington Mystics in the first preseason game of her WNBA season. The Fever played without star Caitlin Clark, who was absent due to a minor injury that was described as 'a little tightness' in her left leg. So it was Cunningham that led the way for Indiana. However, she didn't do so without a bit of bruising. In the second quarter, Cunningham was fighting for a rebound with Mystics rookie Kiki Iriafen. Iriafen had her arm wrapped around Cunningham's torso and then flung her...
