With a stretch of mediocrity in international play in the rearview mirror, Mexico is opting to make a change.
El Tri has fired coach Diego Cocca, the Mexican federation announced Monday morning—less than 24 hours after Mexico beat Panama 1–0 to finish third in the CONCACAF Nations League.
Mexico is 3-1-3 in its last seven matches, including draws with Jamaica on March 26 and Cameroon on June 10. On Thursday, the United States beat El Tri 3–0 in the Nations League semifinals in Las Vegas; the game was halted early due to homophobic chanting by Mexico’s fans.

Although the Sioux Falls Storm are not having the season that they might have hoped, their win over the Tulsa Oilers on Saturday put them one step closer to the Indoor Football League playoffs. That’s great, but only the fine folks in Sioux Falls, S.., have any vested interest in the Storm.
And even that might be a stretch.
The rest of us are here to see a referee go flying, right? Right.
Sioux Falls competes in the Eastern Conference of the 14-team Indoor Football League. Other locations in the arena football league include Frisco, Green Bay, San Diego and Vegas.

Expectations are high for the Penn State Nittany Lions this season. The team finished 11-2 last year and capped off the season with a Rose Bowl win over Utah. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Penn State is tied with Texas and Notre Dame for the ninth-best odds (+2500) to win the College Football Playoff National Championship.
As many teams do, Penn State is preparing hype-up videos for the season. The team is also taking preseason pictures and putting together the usual assets to use for programs, media guide, etc.
USC football will not join the Big Ten conference this fall, but next. Thus, any recruit that commits to play for the Trojans in the Class of 2024 will never experience the Pac-12.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, they will play all four years alongside Michigan, Ohio State, Iowa, Penn State and the like. They won’t play Oregon, Washington, Stanford, etc. unless it’s a non-conference matchup.
With the impending change in conference comes a forthcoming change in uniform.
No, USC is not getting rid of its classic kits. It would never.
Kyle Schwarber has been tearing it up since the calendar flipped to June, something he has a history of doing.
Note: This interview was conducted before Paul’s trade from the Suns in June.
In late March, Chris Paul was eating breakfast at home when he decided to watch some old, family home videos. Chris’s father had recently had all the tapes accumulated over many years converted to DVD, allowing the memories to live on.
“One of the videos I came across looked like a party with my family,” Paul says. “And in walks my grandfather. And it was a video from his 60th birthday party. And it messed me up. I hadn’t heard my grandfather’s voice since I was 17.”

Reds first baseman Joey Votto is set to make his season debut on Monday vs. the Rockies after missing the start of the season while rehabbing from shoulder surgery.
Votto has been out since August 2022, when he needed surgery on his left shoulder to repair his torn rotator cuff and biceps. The injury meant that the 39-year-old missed Opening Day for the first time since ’08, as he has been a durable player for most of his career.
In his season debut, Votto will be playing first base and hitting sixth as Cincinnati hosts Colorado.
