The Greatest of All Time is joining WWE’s action figure line.
Muhammad Ali is the newest member of Mattel’s WWE Ultimate Edition line, Sports Illustrated has learned.
One of the most recognizable athletes of the 20th century, Ali’s impact extended well beyond his success in boxing. The humanitarian also had a cameo in WWE at the inaugural WrestleMania in March of 1985, serving as the special guest outside referee during a main event that pitted Hulk Hogan and Mr. T against “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff.

In many years, we all jump the gun in talking about the following year’s draft-eligible quarterbacks over the summer.
This is not one of those years.
And it’s not just one player you can mark down to have his name called in the 8 p.m. hour of draft night, nine-and-a-half months from now. This year, we got two.
We’re reprising the dive we’d do years ago on the upcoming year’s quarterback prospects, which was part of our old draft week coverage. I figured this was the year to bring it back, for one obvious reason, plus another that’s becoming increasingly apparent.

Here are six teams that should be better next season after making strong signings in free agency.
The biggest trade of the NBA offseason is still on the horizon, but the free agency has mostly settled. As the league waits on the Damian Lillard trade to finally go through — and maybe a James Harden trade, too — rosters around the NBA have been reshuffled by the free agent frenzy.
Free agency is mostly about filling holes in a team’s roster, especially now that superstars rarely hit the open market.
Brenden Aaronson became the latest U.S. men’s national team star to make a major summer move with a season-long loan to Union Berlin.
The 22-year-old played a significant role at Leeds last season with 36 Premier League appearances after arriving in the summer from RB Salzburg in a $32 million move. The winger scored one goal for the side in 40 appearances across all competitions.
But after Leeds was relegated at the end of the season, Aaronson managed to secure a move to the Bundesliga.
The 2024 Southeastern Conference football schedule announced last month has one glaring omission.
Texas and Alabama are not playing.
And they should be. These two huge brand names of southern fried football could be the best new rivalry of the revamped SEC with Texas and Oklahoma joining in 2024. A Burnt Orange and Crimson passion play may already be brewing.
No. 1 Alabama Holds Off Texas For 20-19 Win With Bryce ‘Houdini’ Young And Late Field Goal
Texas Lost Close One To Alabama Last Year
Alabama luckily squeaked by Texas, 20-19, last Sept.
The New York Yankees stumbled into the 2023 MLB All-Star break by losing four of their last five games. They sit in fourth place in the AL East and following Sunday’s loss the team fired its hitting coach after an awful first half of the season.
So yeah, things haven’t been going great for the Yankees as of late.

Does the team expect Alvin Kamara to get suspended? What’s the latest? That is the expectation among the Saints coaching staff and front office.
Leonard Fournette lived a real-life nightmare last month when his car burst into flames while driving on Interstate 275 in Tampa Bay. While initial reports claimed the fire started randomly, a new police report claims the car fire resulted from Fournette racing a motorcycle.
The former LSU running back shared a video from the scene thanking God that he didn’t suffer any injuries from the scary situation. Fournette’s Dodge Durango SRT was burnt to a crisp after flames started bursting from the vehicle’s hood.
Welcome to 32 teams in 32 days. To get us through the offseason, we’ll be taking a closer look at every team in the league, in order of projected 2023 win totals. Up next: the Saints.
It’s been a long time since the Saints sustained their relevance.
Since winning Super Bowl XLIV, New Orleans has only been victorious in one divisional playoff game. Now, entering its second season under coach Dennis Allen, and competing in a hideous NFC South, it’s time for the franchise to take advantage of signing quarterback Derek Carr this offseason.
The Northwestern football program is engulfed by more chaos as dueling narratives are emerging amid hazing allegations.
The Wildcats initially suspended head coach Pat Fitzgerald for two weeks after a lengthy investigation into the program. Fitz claimed to have no knowledge of any hazing, and the suspension and other sanctions appeared to put an end to the situation.
However, everything changed when a new report the hazing activities were very sexual in nature. Northwestern president Michael Schill indicated Fitzgerald’s status could be re-evaluated.
