Oakland A’s fans are giving it all they’ve got to convince owner John Fisher to sell the franchise in hopes of keeping it in town.
While a good old fashion boycott would usually do the trick, when the team’s attendance is already lower than a lot of Triple-A teams, that’s not going to work. The stadium is already practically empty on most nights, save for a smattering of fans and the possum in the press box.

“Who is he competing against?” Kittle asked with a smile on his face.
When Lundberg asked more directly whether Lance is a starter for the 49ers, Kittle went into more detail.
“Trey is a starter in the NFL,” Kittle began. “He will be. Get that guy some reps and he has an incredibly high ceiling.

One of Major League Baseball’s coolest and rarest feats happened Tuesday night when Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto hit for the cycle. The only problem is nobody knows about it.
Now what could be the ONE thing that happened in a professional baseball game that would overshadow the cycle? You guessed it … the benches clearing.
The worst part is there weren’t even any punches thrown. And people still are talking more about that today than Realmuto’s accomplishment. Maybe Commissioner Rob Manfred does have himself a problem with the future of the sport.
One of the most fascinating interviews to go back and watch stems from May 1991, when then NBC analyst Pat Riley got a chance to sit down with Bulls superstar Michael Jordan.
Jordan had won three league MVPs in four years and had led the NBA in essentially every advanced metric—including win shares—for a fifth consecutive season.

UCLA and USC football are still more than a year away from joining the Big Ten, but the hype is already starting to build. To get ahead of the impending change, the conference went ahead and rolled out its new scheduling format for 2024 and 2025 earlier this month.
There will be no divisions, and only specific rivalries will be protected.
Although it was always going to be something of a culture shock, for lack of better term, the new Big Ten schedules have created a grueling travel dynamic for the Bruins and Trojans.
