New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson once again drew the ire of former adult film actress, and apparently former flame, Moriah Mills as she posted alleged texts between herself and the NBA player and continued to rant about him on Twitter.
Mills, who is now a hip-hop artist and calls herself Moriah M, made the initial claim she was in a relationship with Williamson after his girlfriend announced earlier in the week the two were expecting a baby.

It’s never too late to chase your dreams. Or in Brandon Crawford’s case, it’s never too late to prove that one of the hardest things to do in sports is just a walk in the park.
Crawford spent his entire 12-year major league career at shortstop until Sunday, when he took the mound to close out a lopsided Giants win against the Cubs—and didn’t allow a single run. After the game, Crawford took a fun shot at his pitching counterparts.
“I always give pitchers a hard time about it not being that hard,” said Crawford, who touched 90 mph with his fastball.

F1 is back this week with the Canadian Grand Prix, and here are the major storylines to watch
After a week off, Formula 1 is back this week with the Canadian Grand Prix. While there was concern early last week about whether the race would go forward, due to widespread wildfires raging through Canada, F1 calmed fears late last week about the Grand Prix taking place.
As the grid heads to Montreal, what are the major storylines to follow this week? Let’s dive in.
The Rangers host the AL West-rival Angels Monday night in Arlington, and we are grabbing the value for the home team on the run line.
Not only is Texas averaging the most runs per game in MLB this year (6.25) and 6.00 runs per game in June, they absolutely mash lefties with an .826 OPS (third), .298 batting average (fifth), and .462 SLG (fourth). That’s not great news for Tyler Anderson, who gets the start for the Halos.
Anderson has a 5.62 ERA this season and he has allowed 10 earned runs across his last two starts (nine innings). Batters are hitting .300 or better vs.
It was bound to get crazy in Hattiesburg on Sunday afternoon between Southern Miss and Tennessee fans. Two teams battling for a spot in the College World Series, and two fanbases battling the Mississippi heat, and each other.
It all transpired on Sunday, with both teams finishing up the first game that was postponed due to weather. After a five-hour wait on Saturday afternoon, officials finally decided to postpone the rest of the first game until Sunday. They would play the second game on Sunday as well.
Well, after taking game one, Southern Miss was one win away from a trip to Omaha.
On May 26, Iowa athletic director Gary Barta announced his retirement from a job he’s held since 2006. Two weeks later, Notre Dame announced that its AD, Jack Swarbrick, is stepping down in 2024 after 16 years on the job. And just like that, an increasingly impermanent profession saw its collective experience further diminished.
Consider how things once were at Iowa and Notre Dame. While Barta’s tenure seemed endless in Iowa City, it doesn’t measure up to Bump Elliott, who held the AD job from 1970–91.
It’s that time of year again: our annual list of players who have not yet made a Pro Bowl, but who we think will this year. Once again, rookies are excluded. Last year one of our big hits was Eagles pass rusher Haason Reddick, whom we imagined would shine in Jonathan Gannon’s defense, buttressed by a bunch of elite, pocket-pushing defensive tackles. Joe Burrow and Penei Sewell also came through from our list.
Projecting anything is difficult, but first-time Pro Bowlers are at the top of that pyramid. Jerry Jeudy was one of our big bets last year.

There are some big changes in our latest mock draft.
It’s almost jarring how fast the NBA Draft sneaks up on the league calendar even if you’re the type of person who spends the whole year preparing for it (guilty). Once the NBA Finals end, it’s a sprint to the draft with rumors and smoke screens bubbling up in equal measure until the big night finally arrives.
Victor Wembanyama, the 7’5 big man from France being hailed as one of the best prospects in history, will be the No. 1 overall pick to the San Antonio Spurs.
Brittney Griner and her Phoenix Mercury teammates were asked questions while walking through Dallas airport on Saturday and now her fellow WNBA players and the league itself are issuing calls of action for her safety.
Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty spoke about Griner’s airport interaction on Sunday calling for “extra precautionary reasons” and suggesting Griner fly charter while the rest of the league flies commercial.
“I think that there needs to be extra precautionary measures taken,” Stewart said, according to the NY Post.
