San Antonio Spurs fans are already losing their minds for No. 1 draft pick Victor Wembanyama.
That’s not particularly shocking. he was the clear-cut player at the top of every mock draft. However, Wembanyama was greeted upon arriving in San Antonio less like a highly-touted draft pick, and more like a folk hero.

The man has officially been a Spur for like 48 hours and already there’s a theme song and a mural.

Few franchises in the NBA boast a history like the Spurs. Even fewer boast San Antonio’s sense of linearity — Hall of Fame center David Robinson played with Hall of Fame forward Tim Duncan, who played with Hall of Fame guard Manu Ginóbili, who played with future Hall of Fame forward Kawhi Leonard, etc.
With new Spurs center Victor Wembanyama becoming the heir apparent to San Antonio’s past greats after being drafted No. 1 Thursday evening, it only made sense for him to dine with living, breathing legends.

A week after carding the most birdies ever in a single U.S. Open, Fowler is still on a heater.

Reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge said he has a torn toe ligament. Manager Aaron Boone said he expects Judge to return this season, but did not provide any guarantees. Judge has been on the IL since June 6.

That’s a heartbreaking way for the Firebirds to end their inaugural season, but what a win for Hershey.

Aaron Judge announced Saturday he has a torn ligament in his right big toe and he still feels pain when he walks.
The news comes just two days after the New York Yankees said Judge possibly could start baseball activities this weekend. But that’s not happening.
The Yankees slugger originally sustained the injury June 3 when he crashed into the right field wall at Dodger Stadium. It’s an unusual injury for baseball.
“I don’t think too many people have torn a ligament in their toe,” Judge said Saturday. “If it was a quad we’d have a better answer.

OMAHA, Nebraska – First of all, it’s because it’s here in Omaha.
And the College World Series is here every year. It started in this All-American city of about 500,000 on the Missouri River at the Iowa line in 1950 and has been here every year since, except in 2020 because of COVID.
The CWS is so entrenched in Omaha literally and mentally that people began using “Omaha” as a synonym for the College World Series decades ago. That doesn’t happen in many other sports.
