Is this the start of a run back to the Olympics?
Simone Biles is back. Following a three-year absence from competition, the GOAT is coming back to compete at the U.S. Classic, hinting at a potential run at qualifying for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Biles stepped away from the sport in 2020, shortly following the games in Tokyo. It was a crushing games for Biles, as she sat out the vault, floor, and all-around finals while dealing with a bout of the “twisties.

The Blazers appear committed to building around Damian Lillard, while Miami is patiently waits for a trade request that may not come.
Travis Kelce is currently on top of the world this summer. The eight-time Pro Bowler is still celebrating his second Super Bowl win from February and is enjoying the newfound success that his and his brother Jason’s podcast, New Heights, has found. But it wasn’t always like this.
During an interview with Vanity Fair, Kelce was emotional recalling some of his more turbulent days. His lowest moment was in 2010 when he was suspended for a year while playing for Cincinnati in college.
Ja Morant flashing a gun on Instagram Live not once, but twice, and recently receiving a 25-game suspension without pay has overshadowed his back-and-forth lawsuit involving a teenage basketball player. The lawsuit, however, has officially hit a level of absurdity that we can’t ignore it any longer.
The civil case dates back to July 2022 when Morant and then 17-year-old Joshua Holloway were playing a pickup game at the NBA star’s home outside of Memphis.
Apparently, Sara Walsh doesn’t like that her former MLB player and coach husband, Matt Buschmann, plays a lot of golf. She took to “Good Morning Football,” NFL Network’s morning show, to go on a long-winded rant about it.
Because, you know, the vast majority of viewers for “Good Morning Football” and NFL Network can’t possibly be golf-playing husbands and fathers.
But, no, Walsh is tired of her husband “asking for permission” to play golf and then getting upset that he has to “ask for permission.” That sounds more like a personal issue, but I digress.
This is highway robbery.
NASCAR is headed to Chicago this weekend for the Grant Park 220 street race, and I’ve never seen a more upsetting photo of a concessions stand than this one.

There’s so much to unpack here. Firstly, the price — it’s obviously disgusting.
The apple does not fall far from the tree when it comes to Lane Kiffin and his son, Knox. Ole Miss’ 48-year-old head coach is known to jab the ribs of opposing coaches on Twitter and during media appearances.
His 14-year-old son is equally as quick to take shots at rivals, which we found out over the weekend.
Knox, who was born in Knoxville, was in Louisiana for the prestigious Manning Passing Academy. Although he is still four years away from making a decision on where to go to college, the youngest Kiffin is set up to shine at quarterback in the Class of 2028.

Whenever you feel down, remember you get to watch Ohtani do this stuff in real time
I’m not even going to waste time here, so let’s go ahead and say it:
Shohei Ohtani is arguably the greatest baseball player we’ve seen in this generation. Yesterday in the Angels’ win over the Chicago White Sox, Ohtani struck out ten batters as a pitcher while only allowing one run as a pitcher. Oh yeah, he also hit two home runs in the same night, one of them after leaving the game as a pitcher due to a fingernail issue.

Here’s our full projection for the first round.
There will be zero surprises in the 2023 NHL Draft until the fourth pick. That is basically locked in stone. Throughout this entire process we’ve known Connor Bedard will be the No. 1 pick, and nothing in a million years will change that.
Why? Because he’s just that good. There is Victor Wembanyama levels of hype to his game, or if you prefer a hockey reference: Connor McDavid, but to an even higher degree.
Some news, notes and rumblings as we move toward Friday’s official start of NBA free agency …
There certainly were a few eyebrows raised this week when Trail Blazers general manager Joe Cronin publicly doubled down on Portland’s desire to build a team around Damian Lillard. Still, there is a belief among rival execs that the Blazers will not be able to do enough in the coming days to satisfy Lillard’s stated desire to play for a winner, and the two sides will eventually decide its best for both to move on.
