The Final Four is set. But who has the best players out of South Carolina, UConn, Texas and UCLA?
The winner of the national championship is often decided by who has the best player — or players — at the Final Four. While some could make the case that Iowa’s Caitlin Clark was the top player last year in Cleveland, Ohio, nobody could stop South Carolina’s Kamilla Cardoso as she piled up 37 points, 28 rebounds and five blocks in two victories.

Could a title fight be in the cards for George Russell?
On paper, 2025 looked to be a transition year for Mercedes.
The Formula 1 team saw one of the greatest drivers in the history of the sport leave at the end of the 2024 campaign, with Lewis Hamilton departing for Ferrari. Toto Wolff and company tapped young Kimi Antonelli to drive alongside George Russell for the 2025 season, and with both drivers on contracts set to expire at the end of the current campaign, the specter of the driver transfer market is always looming.

The teenage son of former New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner died of carbon monoxide poisoning while the family was on vacation last month in Costa Rica, according to a toxicology report.
Questions have swirled around 14-year-old Miller’s tragic death, with initial reports suggesting possible food poisoning. On Wednesday, the Judicial Investigation Agency of Costa Rica announced that the boy had passed away due to high levels of carbon monoxide in his system.

The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA — the league that would become today’s NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history.
To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team.

We asked you to tell us one thing that no-one is talking about at West Ham
Here are some of your comments:
Joe: Should West Ham sell players like Paqueta and Kudus to give Potter the funds to build the team he wants? You can tell he isn’t confident with the whole squad but needs some serious money to make a team able to compete at the level we want to be
Dave: We’ve consistently failed to address the major issue of having no pace in the centre of midfield. It’s been going on for years.

Rivals national recruiting analyst Sam Spiegelman has three predictions on Notre Dame beating out Michigan for a top running back target, USC bolstering its class with a receiver commitment and Tennessee finding more success recruiting North Carolina.

At the annual spring league meetings, the NFL owners tabled a vote on banning the “tush push” this week, but it wasn’t because the conversation cooled off. If anything, it’s just starting to heating up. What started as a short-yardage cheat code has now become a full-blown political drama. And somehow, safety is the scapegoat.
Except there’s one problem: there’s no data to back up that concern.
The tush push, made famous (and almost unstoppable) by the Philadelphia Eagles, is a modern-day QB sneak that looks more like a rugby scrum than a traditional NFL play.

Everybody is talking about Sandro Tonali after his performance against Brentford last night.
Here is some more of what the boss had to say about his midfielder.
Speaking to BBC Radio Newcastle’s Matthew Raisbeck, Eddie Howe said: “Very good again. Very good. Just a lot of good decisions from Sandro and I think that’s what makes him the player that he is.

At one point during his conversation with reporters this week, Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie was asked about the team’s upcoming White House visit. And a member of the media asked Lurie what he’d tell fans who “take offense” to the team “embracing” President Donald Trump?
“This is really just an invitation from the White House,” Lurie answered. “That’s all this is, and we’re not politicizing it in any way. Not for us.”

Alpine driver Pierre Gasly remains ‘confident’ despite team’s slow start in 2025
One of the hottest teams down the closing stretch of the 2024 Formula 1 season? That was Alpine. After a slow start a year ago the Enstone-based operation rocketed up the standings in the closing weeks, climbing from the back of the grid to finish sixth in the 2024 Constructors’ Championship race.
However, that strong finish has yet to carry over to the 2025 campaign.
