LSU punched its ticket to the College World Series on Sunday night, and the participation of one Tigers player is likely to make some baseball fans feel old.
Blake Money went viral during his days in the 2014 Little League World Series, when his family name became a sensation because of his younger brother Cash. A picture thought to be of Cash Money sporting dollar sign-themed sunglasses during the LLWS caught fire as well—however it’s worth noting the photo actually featured Blake’s other brother, Logan.
Now, Money is now looking for what eluded him at age 12: a World Series win.

Toto Wolff thinks a tougher week is in store for Mercedes at the Canadian GP
Mercedes had their breakthrough moment of the 2023 Formula 1 season in Barcelona, as the team secured their first double podium of the year. Lewis Hamilton came in second, with teammate George Russell behind him in third, and their success in the Spanish Grand Prix led to the idea that their big upgrades to the W14 were going to completely turn their season around.
The wow moments have been in ample supply in North Jersey. Jets coach Robert Saleh, in fact, got two more just last week.
The first one came Monday, at one of the team’s final OTA practices before breaking for the summer. On this one, after collecting the snap, Aaron Rodgers stared down the middle of the defense in a seven-on-seven drill, quickly moved his head left, then pivoted and reset too quickly for anyone on the other side to react. As the defense tried, he released a go ball down the right sideline for Malik Taylor, who spent parts of the last four seasons in Green Bay.
Comedian Bill Maher is well known for his hard takes on political issues, which you can see each week on his HBO show, Real Time With Bill Maher.
But he’s also a huge sports fan, which you can get more of sense for with his podcast, Club Random With Bill Maher, which announced Monday that it is joining The Arena Group’s platform and will have new episodes every Sunday night. Maher has had some great episodes already with Aaron Rodgers, Mike Tyson and other sports stars and famous broadcasters, and he has some more big-name folks from the sports world coming up on future shows.
Almost one year to the date of LIV Golf’s inaugural event, the golf world was upended again by the announcement of a PGA Tour-DP World Tour-LIV Golf deal. Here are the details of the alliance and its aftershocks.
Pro Football Hall of Famer Rod Woodson mutually agreed on Sunday to part ways with XFL’s Vegas Vipers, the team he coached this past season.
In the league’s first season back, the Vipers finished with a 2–8 record, which was the worst in the North Division.
“We want to thank Rod for his hard work and commitment to the Vipers and the League last season,” XFL president Russ Brandon said in a statement. “During Rod’s time with the team, the players had an incredible opportunity to learn and benefit from his experience.
Saquon Barkley has yet to sign the franchise tag for the upcoming season as he and the Giants continue to try and work out a long-term deal. During the offseason, there have been several reports about him turning down offers and the star running back addressed it all while at his AMPT football camp on Sunday.
“I would like to address that I feel like there’s been some things out there that’s been misleading,” Barkley said. “I’ve been public. I’ve been open about it. I said I want to be a Giant for life.

Why Ford could hold the key to Max Verstappen’s future
Max Verstappen is currently under contract with Red Bull through the 2028 season. But could the world champion make a shocking move to another team at the end of his current deal, or leave Formula 1 entirely?
And might Ford somehow hold the key to his racing future?
Verstappen has certainly opened the door to leaving F1 before.
Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark claims he’s never pursued adding Memphis.
Yormark and the Big 12 are currently in the process of trying to add more teams amid realignment chaos.
The conference is definitely targeting teams from the PAC-12 as its top priority. If that fails, the Big 12 will then work its way down a list of options among G5 programs.

It was recently reported the Tigers could be on that list, but Yormark says that’s simply not true.
