Mark McGwire wants baseball fans to understand that there was a lot of hard work behind taking all the steroids and human growth hormone during his playing days.
“I can personally tell you, from me, knowing me… I didn’t need to do it and I apologize for it. But there was a lot of f***ing hard work that went behind all the shi* that people wanna give me to do what I did,” McGwire, who hit 583 homers, told A.J. Pierzynski on his “Foul Territory” show.

UFC president Dana White is not happy with a coaches challenge that appeared on the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter that involved Conor McGregor.
While the show is designed to find the next UFC star, some of the sport’s biggest names serve as coaches and do challenges as well.
This season, two coaches are McGregor and Michael Chandler, and it was a challenge the two of them took part in that left White fuming.
McGregor and Chandler each sat in an ice bath while they answered UFC trivia questions.

Lakers star big man Anthony Davis inked a three-year, $186 million max contract extension earlier this week, which will pay him $270 million guaranteed over the life of his full deal through the 2028 season, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Davis is not the first member of the Lakers rotation to get paid this offseason, as teammate Austin Reaves signed a four-year, $56 million contract to return to Los Angeles after emerging as a core member of the rotation last season.
How did Reaves react to Davis’s huge deal? Safe to say he was elated.

The USWNT talked the talk but didn’t walk the walk at the 2023 FIFA World Cup—at least according to Netherlands forward Lineth Beerensteyn. The 26-year-old Juventus starter didn’t mince words when discussing the USWNT’s departure in the round of 16, according to ESPN’s Joey Lynch.
After Sweden defeated the United States 5–4 in penalty kicks, a mix of reactions poured in from social media. But Beerensteyn’s reaction? “Yes! Bye!”
“From the first moment I heard they were out, I was just like, ‘Yes! Bye!” The Juventus attacker told reporters on Thursday.

The Green Monster gives, and the Green Monster takes
Standing just 310 feet away from home plate, and rising more than 37 feet above the field, the Green Monster at Fenway Park is one of baseball’s iconic landmarks. The short left-field fence has played a role in many memorable moments in MLB history, such as Carlton Fisk’s walk-off home run in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series. And just mention the name “Bucky Dent” to a Boston Red Sox fan, and they’ll mutter his unofficial middle name before walking away from you in agony.

Billy Walters is known by most for two things: being arguably the greatest sports gambler to ever live and a man who had his insider trading sentencing commuted by former President Donald Trump in 2021.
Based on an excerpt from his soon-to-be-released book that alleges mindboggling gambling habits of Phil Mickelson, Walters should soon be able to add best-selling author to his resume as well.
