MAMMOTH news for MLS.
In what could be the biggest news in the history of Major League Soccer, Lionel Messi has reportedly picked Inter Miami over Saudi mega-club Al Ittihad or Barcelona.

Details are yet to be released on Messi’s contract with Miami, though it’s safe to say it will be the largest in the history of MLS.
Bryson DeChambeau couldn’t have done a worse job attempting to defend Saudi Arabia and its horrific history during an appearance on CNN.
The LIV Golf star appeared on CNN with Kaitlan Collins to discuss the organizations merger with the PGA Tour, and things went off the rails when one subject was brought up:
Saudi Arabia’s ties to terrorism and 9/11.
The 21-Year Anniversary Of 9/11 Is A Great Reminder Of American Exceptionalism In Our Darkest Moments
Fifteen of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudis and Saudi Arabia has long been an exporter of radical Wahhabism.
Nick Saban continued his annual tradition of taking some of his players out for a fun day of tubing on the lake in Alabama.
Before Saban headed to Washington, DC to speak with congress about NIL, Saban took the time to make sure his players knew who the real captain is.
The boating trip usually occurs three times a year for Alabama players, with seniors, incoming freshman and members of the leadership group getting a spin. This is also a chance for Nick Saban to have fun with his players, as he speeds around the lake hoping to toss guys off the raft.
Is Baby Gronk the new Drip King, or is he just getting rizzed up by Livvy?
Baby Gronk stole Livvy from Drip King, which might make Baby Gronk the new Drip King. However, there are very real concerns that Livvy is just using Baby Gronk for clout.

Everyone knows that Livvy rizzed up Baby Gronk, which caused him to commit to LSU. Baby Gronk is the No. 1 college football prospect in the country because he averages over 300 yards and 5 touchdowns a game.
Bryson DeChambeau was one of golf’s biggest stars to jump ship from the PGA Tour and sign with LIV Golf. Like other big-name players who did the same, DeChambeau received a massive signing bonus to join the Saudi-backed circuit.
Now that the Tour and LIV have agreed upon a merger, DeChambeau is looking like a genius while players who passed on huge paydays look foolish.

Gauff still can’t get past Swiatek.
Some fun questions looking ahead to the season (and even next year’s draft) hit the inbox today.
The term “sleeper” has different meanings for different people in the world of fantasy football. Some folks believe it’s simply a player who will outperform his draft position. Others think it’s a relatively unknown or once forgotten player who unexpectedly emerges or re-emerges into a useful fantasy option.
In my opinion, both definitions are true but with a caveat. I don’t see a player as a sleeper if he’s already been a valuable fantasy asset during his career. For example, Aaron Rodgers or D’Andre Swift aren’t “sleepers” to me.
The day that Reds fans have long been waiting for finally came on Tuesday, as star prospect Elly De La Cruz made his first career start in the big leagues.
The 21-year-old third baseman, who recently hit a home run over a scoreboard in the minors, got on base twice with walks and also got his first career hit—a scorched double that he made look way too easy.
Even better for the Reds, they were able to score three runs in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 9–8.
Let’s get back to De La Cruz’s first hit because all of it was impressive.
When the Women’s College World Series championship kicks off Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET, No. 1 Oklahoma will try to cap a historic season with a third consecutive title, while No. 3 Florida State will do everything it can to prevent that.
Here’s the rundown for the best-of-three series.
Just How Good Is Oklahoma?
It’s almost impossible to understate it. This is potentially the best team in the history of the sport. The Sooners are 59–1 with a record 51-game win streak (and counting).
