As the Angels begin to tumble out of the American League playoff picture, Shohei Ohtani trade rumors have once again resurfaced. If Los Angeles is unable to make the postseason, yet again, with the two-way phenom, it stands to reason that the franchise is better off getting something in return him for the last half of the season, rather than risk him walking away with no return in free agency.
On Thursday, ESPN MLB insider Buster Olney argued that the Yankees are the team with the most motivation to make a huge splash and land Ohtani ahead of the trade deadline.
At the beginning of each episode of Goliath, the well-crafted, three-part Showtime docuseries on legendary hoops star Wilt Chamberlain that premieres this Friday, there’s a disclaimer.
“Wilt Chamberlain’s voice in this series is created using an A.I. program with the permission of the Wilt Chamberlain estate. Wilt’s words have been composed of quotations of his written work and public statements,” the statement reads.
Other interesting filmmaking tactics have been utilized before to voice departed legends.

It took some time, but we thought of some questions facing Red Bull right now
Things are never dull in Formula 1.
This was supposed to be a quiet week off, following a back-to-back in Austria and Britain, and ahead of another back-to-back in Hungary and the Netherlands. But a thunderbolt from the clouds came down on Monday, with the shocking news that Daniel Ricciardo was coming back to the grid.
After just ten races, AlphaTauri and Red Bull had seen enough from Nyck de Vries.
After Northwestern fired Pat Fitzgerald earlier this week, the school reportedly named defensive coordinator David Braun as the interim head coach. At the end of the year, though, Northwestern will have to fill that role permanently.
For a moment, it was reported that former LSU head coach Ed Orgeron was interested in the job, whenever Northwestern chooses to hire a permanent coach. However, Orgeron quickly spoke with The Athletic and Fox Sports’ Bruce Feldman to deny the report Wednesday night.
“Spoke to Ed Orgeron,” Feldman tweeted.
The group that opens the festivities might well be its least predictable. As one of four nations to win a Women’s World Cup, Norway would be the logical favorite, but a shocking group-stage exit at Euro 2022—thanks in part to an 8–0 loss to eventual champion England—throws that status in doubt. Fortunately, Norway is led by six-time Champions League winner Ada Hegerberg, who is back on the World Cup stage after missing the ’19 event during a five-year absence from the national team.
Group F features two traditional powers, the lone Caribbean nation in the tournament and a World Cup debutante in Panama, setting up a series of intriguing matchups. In February, Panama edged Paraguay 1–0 to land the 32nd and final qualifying spot, while Jamaica returns after a winless showing four years ago. France is the favorite, but after significant national team turmoil, it likely won’t be smooth sailing for Les Bleus.
In late February key forwards Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Kadidiatou Diani and captain Wendie Renard stepped down, citing subpar conditions and management issues.
All eyes will be on the U.S. women’s national team as the reigning world champions embark on their quest for an unprecedented World Cup three-peat. But before the U.S. can even think about hoisting the trophy, Vlatko Andonovski’s squad will need to advance out of a group featuring one rival and two World Cup newcomers. The Dutch and the USWNT have plenty of history; the U.S. took out the Netherlands in the 2019 World Cup final.
One key piece of the framework agreement between the PGA Tour and the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF) included a clause that the Tour and LIV Golf could not poach players from each circuit. That clause has now been removed, which means full-on recruitment battles could soon take place in professional golf.
The nonsolicitation clause was essentially a legal stop-gap to keep Tour players from making the move to LIV while negotiations were taking place about the new entity set to be formed between the PGA Tour, PIF, and DP World Tour.
