Aaron Judge was the subject of some controversy earlier this month when Blue Jays broadcasters pointed out he was looking off toward his right during an at-bat against reliever Jay Jackson in Toronto, hinting that someone from his squad was relaying tips. Immediately after the game, the Yankees slugger said he was just looking at teammates chirping in the dugout.
Judge followed up his initial comment by saying he had some “choice words” about the cheating insinuation from Toronto’s broadcast team, but he opted against sharing those words with reporters.

Sloane Stephens says racist behavior directed at athletes is getting worse, and even software designed to protect them from it has little impact.

There is always a post-major championship hangover, but the week following Brooks Koepka’s PGA Championship win at Oak Hill turned out to be a rather entertaining one with Emiliano Grillo playing a large role.
While the big-time names in the field for the Charles Schwab Challenged didn’t make much noise – other than Scottie Scheffler – it was fun to watch Grillo, Harry Hall, and Adam Schenk battle down the stretch at a completely baked-out Colonial. Not only did we get a playoff, we had to track a golf ball running down a stream on the 72nd hole of the tournament.

DESTIN, Fla. – A year ago, SEC administrators arrived here for their annual spring meetings prepared to make a decision on the league’s future scheduling format: Eight conference games or nine?
They emerged without a resolution and with two important questions: (1) What is the future of College Football Playoff expansion?; and (2) how much additional revenue will ESPN pay the league to add a ninth game?
Twelve months later, similar questions linger—and then some.
“It is very fair to say that it is not just about the money,” says Kentucky president Eli Capilouto.

In the 2022 version of the Game 7 between the Heat and Celtics, Caleb Martin didn’t play a single second. Due to a combination of injury and inexperience, Martin could only watch as Jimmy Butler’s potential go-ahead three bounced off the rim late in the fourth quarter. In total, Martin averaged only 15.5 minutes per night in his six appearances during last year’s conference finals, many of which came in a Game 5 blowout.

A replay review in a crucial moment of a game between the Marlins and Angels led to an unfortunate hot mic moment from the umpiring crew on Saturday night.
The visiting Marlins were up a run in the top of the 10th inning with the bases loaded when Los Angeles appeared to get Miami catcher Jacob Stallings to ground into a 1-2-3 double play to get out of the inning. However, the Marlins saw that Angels catcher Matt Thaiss never touched home plate to record the force out, and they decided to challenge the play.

Two months after announcing he is cancer free, the White Sox closer returns to the majors.

How the latest trend in Texas high school sports — competitive barbecue — is sweeping the state.

Errick Miron, formerly known as Ricky Williams, is no stranger to controversy. The former Texas football star and NFL running back was the subject of relentless criticism during his playing days for failed drug tests and subsequent suspensions. The experience appears to have given him an interesting perspective on another embattled athlete.
While appearing on The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz on Thursday, Miron called for empathy when addressing Grizzlies star Ja Morant and the drama that has surrounded him in recent months.

June Watterson recently won the girl’s skiing state championship for California-Nevada by 17 seconds. The father of one of the girls Watterson beat has taken issue with the results seeing as how Watterson is a biological male, yet was allowed to compete against the girls as a transgender athlete.
Watterson uses she/her pronouns, which is apparently enough to deem you a girl in the eyes of race organizers.
