The pressure is on for Jake Paul after it was announced that he would box UFC fighter Nate Diaz this coming August.
“August 5th we commemorate the funeral for Nathaniel Diaz as we send him in a casket back to Dana White,” the Youtuber-turned-boxer wrote in a tweet. “Refreshments will be provided at the service. Black Tie Attire,” he continued.

The NCAA’s Division I Council met this week and tackled a host of topics, including one wide-sweeping change that affects recruiting across college athletics.
Effective July 1, there will be new recruiting rules for official and unofficial visits. Prospects will no longer have a limit on the number of schools they can visit on official visits. However, prospects will be limited to one official visit per school. The only time that prospects will be allowed a second official visit is if there is a coaching change that takes place after the first official visit has been taken.

New York Red Bulls forward Dante Vanzeir has been suspended for six games and fined by MLS for using a racial slur during a game against the San Jose Earthquakes. The decision from the league comes after the Belgian had stepped away from the team of his own volition.
A statement from MLS also states that, on top of the undisclosed fine and six-game suspension, Vanzeir will be required to participate in “education sessions as well as a restorative practices program.

Doc Rivers spent seven seasons in Los Angeles as the coach of the Clippers, presiding over one of the most exciting teams in the league during his run.
The Clippers were consistently one of the top three teams in the Western Conference, dubbed with the nickname “Lob City” thanks in large part to the alley oops thrown to Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan in the team’s wide open fast break offense.

It’s been a tough week of injuries for fantasy managers, especially at the shortstop position. Oneil Cruz, Tim Anderson, Dansby Swanson are all on the IL, and the waiver wire is pretty thin. Hopefully, you have another shortstop, and you can draft any middle infielder to help cover your bases. If still available at SS, consider Bryce Turang, Jorge Mateo, Javier Baez and Brandon Crawford, who are all less than 50% rostered in ESPN leagues. However, many play in even deeper leagues, so I have listed another option below in more detail.

Everyone makes bad choices. Whether it’s a signing, a trade or a poorly executed decision, these are the moves that haunt NFC teams.

Ohio State AD Gene Smith has no interest in replacing Ryan Day.
Day has a stunning 45-6 record with the Buckeyes (three wins came when Urban Meyer was away from the team in 2018), and he’s gone to the CFP three times in four seasons as head coach. However, back-to-back losses to Michigan has some fans wanting to make a change. As insane as it sounds, social media was on fire after the latest loss to Michigan.
However, Smith is blocking out all the noise and is well-aware of the fact Ryan Day is a solid coach.

Ten years ago, Dic Donohue became what is rare in America today: a universally beloved cop.
April 2013. The nation’s eyes were on Boston, and eyes in Boston were darting around, looking for murderers. A bomb had exploded at the Boston Marathon finish line, killing 29-year-old Krystle Campbell, 23-year-old Lingzi Lu and 8-year-old Martin Richard, and injuring over 250 more. Two suspects had been named but not apprehended. The city shut down while law enforcement searched for them.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said he removed shortstop Javier Baez from Thursday night’s game after a baserunning gaffe in order to send “a message to our whole team that we’ve got to clean that up.

By now, you have heard about the historic start to the season for the Tampa Bay Rays. They are a perfect 13-0, and what’s even more incredible? They have covered the run line in 12 of those 13 wins.
Yes, eventually, some bettor will make a significant profit when the underdog pulls off the upset win vs. Tampa Bay, but here’s why we are rolling with the Rays to cover the run line one more time Friday night:
