The Tigers logged the franchise’s first-ever combined no-hitter Saturday, thanks in no small part to starter Matt Manning’s 6 2/3 innings on the mound. The no-no was finished by relievers Jason Foley and Alex Lange, but apparently, Manning had no idea that he hadn’t allowed a hit prior to his exit.
“Honestly, I swear I had no idea,” Manning said after the 2–0 win over the Blue Jays, according to the Detroit Free Press. “After I had a scuffle in the first, I was just trying to eat up innings. We had a two-run lead, so I was trying to protect that lead.

Following the Lakers’ loss to the Nuggets in the 2023 NBA Western Conference finals, LeBron James dropped a bit of a bombshell on the NBA world by failing to rule out retirement. Speculation subsequently spread like wildfire and brought a mixture of reactions from some observers who believed it could happen and others who essentially scoffed at the idea.
But as the 2023-24 season inches closer, all the pieces of the puzzle are coming together—and it looks more likely than not that LeBron will be back plying his trade in the league this upcoming season.
Northwestern University president Michael Schill has issued an update on the investigation into hazing allegations surrounding the Wildcats football program and head coach Pat Fitzgerald. His statement came just a few hours after the entire football team pushed back on grotesque claims made by anonymous former players to the student newspaper.
The situation in Evanston first came to light when the school announced that Fitzgerald will be suspended for two weeks without pay, effective immediately. That decision came down on Friday.
Pat Fitzgerald is suspended two weeks without pay.
Gregg Popovich appears invigorated to continue his Hall of Fame coaching career with the Spurs. Following the team’s announcement that Popovich had agreed to a five-year contract extension with the team, praise from fans and players came from many directions, including Lakers star LeBron James.
James, who has spent time with Popovich with USA Basketball, has offered plenty of praise for the longtime San Antonio coach, and he took to Twitter to show some love—and to let Pop know that dinner is on him.
POP!!!!!! Congrats on the new deal.
Amid detailed information regarding disturbing hazing allegations within the Northwestern football program, university president Michael Schill sent a letter to the school community regarding his decision to suspend head coach Pat Fitzgerald for two weeks without pay.
In the letter, Schill said the initial investigation concluded that there was “no direct evidence” that Fitzgerald knew about the hazing incidents.
The match schedule may not confirm it, backlogged as it was after days of rain (inescapable) and 1:30 start times for Centre Court play (an unforced error). But, chronologically anyway, we are through Week 1 of Wimbledon 2023. Seeds have advanced. Brits have been eliminated. Americans, too. Schedules have been backlogged. Players have been asked to expound on victories they did not achieve. The passive voice has been used.
Bob Huggins’ time at West Virginia may not be over just yet. Probably, but maybe not.
The 69-year-old college basketball coach claims that he did not resign from the university in wake of an arrest for drunk driving. He wants to return to his role with the Mountaineers, immediately.
His attorney, David A. Campbell, sent a letter to school president E. Gordon Gee on Friday that demands his client be reinstated. Huggins threatened to sue. West Virginia has since replied, confused.
Huggins’ resignation was announced on June 17, after he took over the program in 2007.
The future of Grant Williams was very much up in the air as the NBA offseason began, but as free agency wore on, it appeared the veteran forward, who was a restricted free agent, could have a chance to return to the Celtics after the early signings and trades.
That was not the case when all was said and done, as Williams became part of a sign-and-trade deal that sent him to the Mavericks.
The deal involving Williams was a three-team swap involving the Celtics, Mavericks and Spurs.

At Friday’s press conferences ahead of the British GP, the Mercedes boss talked expanding the field
Expanding the Formula 1 field has been a hot topic this entire season.
Earlier this year FIA invited prospective teams to apply for entry to F1, and we have confirmed bids from both the newly formed Andretti-Cadillac partnership, as well as Hitech Pulse-Eight. The Andretti-Cadillac partnership was announced earlier this year to media members, including SB Nation, while Hitech confirmed their bid last month.
Tyler Herro’s name is making the rounds as the Damian Lillard trade chatter continues to swirl around the Heat. Now, the 23-year-old guard is grabbing plenty of attention for a photo that gave fans plenty to talk about — for numerous reasons.
Herro, who appears likely to be a part of a potential deal for Lilliard, should Miami make it happen, was shown in the gym with no Heat gear on and looking … different. Specifically, the former Kentucky Wildcat looks to have put on some muscle in recent months, and NBA fans had plenty of wide-ranging opinions.
