Former UFC star Conor McGregor and the home venue for the Miami Heat were named in a lawsuit filed this week by a woman who alleged sexual assault and negligence. 
According to ESPN, the woman filed the lawsuit in the Southern District of Florida and seeks “medical treatment costs, compensatory damages and other relief from the Heat and McGregor as deemed reasonable.” She presented the case to Miami-Dade County prosecutors, but the suit was dropped over “insufficient evidence.

A transgender (biological male) high school basketball player in California, who competes for San Francisco Waldorf, nearly outscored the entire opposing girls’ team on Tuesday night by scoring 29 points in a 59-33 win over Jewish Community High School. 
A video posted to social media shows the player, Henry Hanlon, dominating the girls on the floor and towering over opponents and teammates, alike. 
This is not the first game that Hanlon has completely dominated this season. In fact, Hanlon is the team’s leading scorer by almost 100 points over the next closest teammate.

When he’s not pimping his dog out for cameras, pretending to avoid social media or pounding the table for Ole Miss and Alabama, Kirk Herbstreit spends his time scolding the Ohio State fan base. A portion of that fanbase includes those fans which he recently labeled the “lunatic fringe.” 
Remember, it was just last month when Herbstreit said “The lunatic fringe at Ohio State is as powerful as anywhere in the country.” He then speculated that the “lunatic fringe” portion represented 15-20 percent of the OSU fanbase.

An Olympic kite surfer was in the right place at the right time on Friday when he was able to rescue a woman who was drowning off the coast of Sao Luís, Brazil.
Bruno Lobo was out testing new gear in cloudy, windy conditions when he heard someone crying for help. The Paris Olympian, who is also an orthopedic doctor, rushed toward the woman, who was struggling to stay above water.
“I promptly approached her with the kite, tried to calm her down and asked her to climb on my back,” Lobo wrote in an Instagram post, translated to English. “She was very tired and had no strength.

These two teams are a lot a like. Now the slugfest begins.
Normally, I spend this section talking about a specific matchup. What one side of the ball needs to do to the other, or something that I’m watching. However, this kaiju battle between two of the best offenses in football actually reminds me of a quote from one of the world’s greatest scribes, Norman Osborn.

On Tuesday, the House of Representatives passed the “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act” by a vote of 218-206. Only two Democrats voted in favor of the Republican-sponsored bill. Neither of those Democrats was Seth Moulton of Massachusetts. 
Why is that significant? Well, in November, Moulton blasted his fellow Democrats for their position on transgender athletes (specifically, males competing in women’s sports). 
Following the election of Donald Trump and a sweep of Congress by Republicans, Moulton expressed that Democrats had lost touch with American voters.

Are the ultra-rich Los Angeles Dodgers about to get richer by signing Roki Sasaki, the most prized free agent pitcher of the 2024-2025 MLB offseason?
On Monday, it was reported by several sources that Sasaki had narrowed his list of potential teams down to three: the San Diego Padres, Toronto Blue Jays and the aforementioned Dodgers.

Sasaki had already visited Toronto to tour the Blue Jays’ facilities, and he was videoed working out on the Petco Park field recently too.

Deron Santiny took up hunting whitetail deer in 2007 as a form of therapy. In the years since, the Iraq War veteran has tracked everything from elk to mule deer and antelope. But last month, Santiny harvested his biggest prize yet — a massive, 696-pound black bear in his home state of Louisiana.
In 2024, Louisiana allowed black bear hunting for the first time in more than 35 years. The animal’s population was decimated in the mid-20th century, to the point where the Louisiana black bear, in particular, was listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 1992.
