This iteration of the XFL isn’t nearly as EXTREME as it was before the X simply stood for “X” instead of EXTREME. But someone forgot to make this clear to the Vegas Vipers and San Antonio Brahmas.
Special teams aren’t exactly front of mind in the XFL, and the league’s rules make it difficult to run a kick all the way to the house. If you had to pick the player who was going to finally break loose and hit pay dirt it was going to be Brahmas wideout Fred Brown would be a decent candidate.
That’s precisely what he did.
Florida Atlantic and San Diego State were two teams no one expected in Houston, yet here we are. Follow live as the Owls battle the Aztecs in the semifinals.
Former New York Yankees superstar Derek Jeter is joining the Fox Sports crew for the 2023 MLB season.
That’s exciting news for baseball fans, as Jeter will bring a wealth of experience, knowledge and star power to nationwide broadcasts.
But the addition of “The Captain,” means another one of the previous analysts will no longer be featured.
For several years, the Fox MLB crew has used Kevin Burkhardt as the host, with Alex Rodriguez, David Ortiz and Frank Thomas serving as analysts.
But with the addition of Jeter, Frank Thomas will no longer be part of Fox’s broadcast team.
As MLB teams and umpires continue to get acclimated to the new pace-of-play rules, the league issued a clarification to the Mets, acknowledging a controversial pitch clock call levied against them on Opening Day.
Thursday’s game between the Mets and Marlins featured a questionable call against New York’s Jeff McNeil in the top of the sixth inning. The second baseman was assessed an automatic strike by home plate ump Larry Vanover after teammate Pete Alonso was slow returning to first base between pitches following a McNeil foul ball.
Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is working on a career year in 2023. In his fifth season, Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging a sterling 31.4 points per game; he ranks in the top 10 in the league in that category, steals per game and free-throw percentage.
For all his spectacular feats this year, however, none can quite compare with one sequence in Oklahoma City’s 121–117 loss to the Pacers on Friday.
With 4:31 left in the first half, Gilgeous-Alexander drove in for a layup to cut Indiana’s lead to 55–48.
Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson threw down a highlight reel grab followed by a throw from his knees that probably decapitated any worms living in the Wrigley Field grass.
It happened on Saturday with the Cubs playing their second game of a season-opening three-game series against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers.
Brewers catcher William Contreras was at the dish, and he got a hold of a 1-1 pitch from Cubs lefty Justin Steele. It looked like had that ball gotten past Swanson Contreras could’ve had an extra-base hit if he hustled.
Knicks legend Charles Oakley sat down with Hall of Fame big man Kevin Garnett on his KG Certified basketball show on Showtime to answer what seems like an age-old question.
Would you rather play with LeBron James or Michael Jordan?
Oakley, who played against Jordan in his heyday and considers the Bulls legend his best friend, surprisingly chose James.
“They’d ask me ‘who would you rather play with? LeBron or Mike?’ I said LeBron but Mike’s my best friend,” Oakley began. “Mike ain’t passing me the ball. He don’t care if I get a shot today or tomorrow.
South Carolina star Aliyah Boston announced Saturday that she will enter the 2023 WNBA draft and forego her final year of eligibility with the Gamecocks’ program.
“There is a quote that says – Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away,” Boston wrote in a note addressing her decision. “In this moment, I am truly breathless as I make the next best decision of my life. I have decided to further pursue my dream by declaring for the 2023 WNBA draft.
