This past season was a disappointing one for Tottenham, albeit another fruitful one for star forward Harry Kane. Spurs struggled to an eighth-place finish in the Premier League, while Kane racked up 30 goals to tie a career-high in league play.
Kane remains one of the world’s best, but is also a little under two months shy of 30. An interview with Hall of Fame defensive end Michael Strahan on Good Morning America Wednesday saw Kane reiterate a surprising post-career ambition: coming to the United States and kicking in the NFL.
“It’s something I definitely want to explore,” Kane said.

Heat guard Tyler Herro is expected to return to the court during the NBA Finals, but coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters on Wednesday that Herro will not be ready to play on Thursday, June 1 for Game 1 vs. the Nuggets, per ESPN’s Marc J. Spears.
“He’s not there yet,” Spoelstra said of Herro.
TNT’s Chris Haynes reported on Monday night that Herro could be expected back by Game 3 of the Finals, which will take place on Wednesday, June 7.
Herro last played in Game 1 of the first round series vs. the Bucks on April 16, when he broke his hand.
In an appearance on JJ Redick’s The Old Man and the Three podcast, Heat wing Duncan Robinson explained the Hulk Hogan-style celebration he pulled out during the fourth quarter of Game 7 against the Celtics.
Robinson, a New England native who went to high school in Massachusetts, ruffled some feathers after using Hogan’s signature celebration, holding up a hand to his ear and gesturing to Boston faithful. Turns out, his motivation to troll Celtics fans came from an unlikely source: a group chat Robinson’s number was added to by Boston fans after Game 6.

Another designated event is here, as the Memorial Tournament is perfectly sandwiched between the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open.
This week, the PGA Tour lands in central Ohio to play at the Memorial Tournament hosted by Jack Nicklaus at Muirfield Village Golf Club.

As long as Turner, now known as Warner Bros.
Harry Kane, a soccer star at Tottenham and captain of England’s National Team, appeared on Good Morning America with Michael Strahan and discussed a potential NFL future. Apparently, the “footballer” actually wants to play real football at some point.
“It’s something I want to definitely explore,” Kane said of becoming an NFL kicker. “It’s something I’d love to do.”
Kane acknowledged that despite his kicking background, he doesn’t expect to simply be good enough to immediately make an NFL roster.
We’re roughly a third of the way through the season, a perfect time to introduce Baseballing Against Expectation to gauge team performance.
Strictly in terms of comedic value, the Clippers‘ loss to the Suns in five games in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs has been basketball fans’ gain.
Had Los Angeles made a run this postseason, Clippers forward Paul George would likely have found himself occupied and neglected his podcast. Such a run did not come to pass, however, and George has made the most of his free time.
First, George hosted Rockets guard Jalen Green for a hilarious conversation about life on Twitter.
Players and coaches from around the NFL have been near-unanimous in vocalizing their displeasure with the league’s new rule allowing fair catches on kickoffs to place the ball at the 25-yard line. On Wednesday, another key player with more invested in preserving the play than perhaps any other added his name to chorus of those decrying the rule change: Patriots special teams star Matthew Slater.
The series finale of Succession saw the iconic HBO series end in heartbreaking fashion with none of the Roy children winning the keys to their deceased father Logan’s media empire. Instead, Tom Wambsgans, Logan’s son-in-law, was named CEO and won the great game which led to a rather incredible viral theory regarding his name and baseball history. Unfortunately for baseball fans, there’s no truth to the viral theory.
Wambsgans is an unusual name, so a fan on TikTok theorized that there was a significance for it that dates back over a century.
