In July 2013, a couple of months after Chelsea had beaten Benfica in the Europa League final, José Mourinho, who had by then succeeded Rafa Benítez as Chelsea manager, scoffed at his predecessor.
“I don’t want to win the Europa League,” he said. “It would be a big disappointment for me. I don’t want my players to feel the Europa League is our competition.” Ten years later, Mourinho is in no position to be picky about which European final he is in.
There was a lot to discuss about this year’s Indianapolis 500. However, one of the biggest talking points was the terrifying crash that sent a wheel flying over the iconic track’s catch fence and into a nearby parking lot.
The incident occurred with just 14 laps to go in what had been otherwise fairly clean race. Arrown McLaren’s Felix Rosenqvist hit the wall between Turns 1 and 2. He then slid back down the track where Andretti Autosport’s Kyle Kirkwood was unable to avoid clipping him. This sent Kirkwood into the wall and flipped him upside down.
For at least the initial implementation, it appears most players have prioritized the WNBA with an assist from beneficial schedules by both their domestic league and overseas ones.
By defeating the Celtics in Game 7 of the NBA Eastern Conference finals Monday night, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra added to his already-impressive résumé. Despite allowing Boston to get back into the series, the Heat were not fazed by a winner-take-all game on the road for a chance to play in the NBA Finals.
The win marked the first time Spoelstra has won a Game 7 on the road. After the game, Spoelstra’s postgame speech took into consideration all the highs and lows the team went through, and he wanted his team to remember what it took to get to this point.
Last year’s No. 1 overall pick might be the most impressive player in the minors so far this season.
A nine-game schedule isn’t just the obvious choice, it’s the only choice. More good games. More rivalry games. More SEC, where they claim it just means more.
College football prospects in the Class of 2024 have a unique outlook on recruiting and NIL. They are the first group of recruits to go through their entire process with an underlying understanding of Name, Image and Likness.
NIL first came into existence in July of 2021 and has transformed the sport. Where money used to exchange hand under the table, like Eric Dickerson at SMU, all of those deals are being brokered in the public eye. It is legal for a college athlete to be compensated while in school, and the deals are growing in value, daily.
The New England Patriots discovered how hard it is to replace Tom Brady. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are already coming to that reality and the season hasn’t started. Perhaps attempting to replace him with Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask wasn’t ideal.
Following an incredible run with the Patriots in which the team won the AFC East 16 times in 17 seasons — and the only season they failed to win the division was when Brady missed essentially the entire year due to injury — Tom Brady left for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
