On Sunday’s edition of ESPN2’s Kay-Rod Cast, the former MLB star was describing a hitting technique to Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay. But his analogy didn’t sit right with some fans.

Minnesota Vikings first-round draft pick Jordan Addison reported to training camp on Sunday after issuing an apology for the reckless driving via his agent.

As Chiefs training camp gets underway, tight end Travis Kelce looks to be practicing a new technique on the field: throwing passes.
This wouldn’t be the first time Kelce has been seen throwing passes. In January 2022, the eight-time Pro Bowler threw a touchdown pass to Byron Pringle.

Kylian Mbappé made news in the soccer world on Monday, as Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal reportedly offered over $1 billion to Paris Saint-Germain to acquire the French star. As part of the offer, Al Hilal would send $322 million to PSG while paying Mbappé $776 million for just one year.
