Madison Barone, disqualified at the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest on Friday, July 4 because she couldn’t keep the food down, said she feels no embarrassment about what happened.
“Nope,’’ Barone, 24, told USA TODAY Sports three days after the contest in Coney Island, N.Y. “It was very discreet. All part of the sport.’’
Barone, who lives in Manville, New Jersey, was making her debut at the 2025 contest. Overshadowed by the likes of Joey Chestnut and women’s champion Miki Sudo, she still managed to gained notoriety for violating contest rules.

DETROIT (AP) — Keider Montero and three relievers combined on a five-hitter and the Detroit Tigers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 on Monday night.
The Tigers (58-34) have won four straight games while only allowing four runs, improving to 24 games over .500 for the first time since 2013.
Montero (4-1) allowed one run and four hits and a walk in six innings while striking out four. After losing his first start, Montero is 4-0 with a 3.31 ERA in 11 outings as a starter and bulk reliever.
Tyler Holton, Brenan Hanifee and Will Vest each pitched a scoreless inning to complete the win.

A massive weekend of wrestling is on the horizon, and to get there, “WWE Raw” stopped through Providence, Rhode Island. This Monday, very specifically, followed a significant story to help tease the immediate future, which is all about one man: Mr. Money In the Bank.
Caitlin Clark’s Reaction to Lexie Hull’s Comments at Indiana Fever Event originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Head coach Stephanie White and the Indiana Fever hosted an open practice for fans Monday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Following the practice, season ticket holders were treated to a Q&A session with players.
That’s when things got a little entertaining for the Fever, who head into Wednesday’s game against the Golden State Valkyries with a 9-9 record.
Texas A&M head coach Michael Earley is heading west to pick up a talented infielder out of Southern California. On Monday night, Maddox Latta confirmed via social media that he will be transferring to A&M.
Latta should be an intriguing addition to the Aggie infield, where every spot is up for grabs—except third base, which is expected to be manned by Gavin Grahovac. “Should be” is the operative phrase, though, as college baseball’s schedule often clashes with the MLB draft.
