Salvador Perez celebrated Venezuela’s World Baseball Classic title by making sure it will never come off his skin.
The Royals captain sat through a four-hour tattoo session with artist Luis Gil — not THAT Luis Gil — to put Venezuela’s 2026 WBC championship on his left thigh.
That’s not exactly how a guy treats a so-called “meaningless exhibition.

North Carolina men’s basketball fired Hubert Davis on Tuesday evening, according to multiple reports. The program begins its search for a new head coach after Davis spent five seasons on the job following the legendary Roy Williams.

After losing to VCU in what was another early exit for the North Carolina basketball program in the NCAA Tournament, the decision to move on from Hubert Davis was essentially made, it just took an extra four days. 
But, it was how the Tar Heels would negotiate the public perception firing that took up a majority of the time since that loss last week.

With the 2026 NFL Draft quickly approaching, teams are finalizing their boards for draft night. Meanwhile, media members, fans, and mock draft enthusiasts continue to deliver a steady stream of hot takes.
ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky recently delivered one that set the sports media world on fire. He declared Ty Simpson the QB1 of the NFL Draft.
That statement effectively places Fernando Mendoza, the presumed number one overall pick, as QB2. Many analysts, fans, and teams have pushed back on that notion.

Hubert Davis is out as the head basketball coach at North Carolina.
Davis’ exit ends a five-year run for the former North Carolina shooting guard as the head coach of his alma mater. Davis was a longtime assistant under Roy Williams and took over the program upon the coaching legend’s retirement following the 2021 season.
In his first season as head coach, Davis guided the Tar Heels to the 2022 Final Four and two of the most iconic wins in program history. North Carolina defeated rival Duke in head coach Mike Krzyzewski’s final home game at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

The offseason is the time for change, renewal, and upside in the unknown. But some change hurts more than others, and for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, this spring has been particularly difficult.
Longtime wide receiver Mike Evans is the San Francisco 49ers‘ newest threat on the boundary. Linebacker Lavonte David has left for the greener pastures of retirement.

Kyle Whittingham continues to build an impressive future roster in Ann Arbor with the Michigan Wolverines.
Not only did Whittingham have a solid transfer portal haul since taking over at Michigan, but he has picked up a couple of nice commitments as well. The latest one came on Tuesday afternoon, with 4-star safety Darnell Mattison committing to the Wolverines.
Mattison stands at 6-foot-1, 160 pounds, and is rated by 247Sports as the No. 263 overall player and No. 23 safety in the 2027 class. Mattison chose the Wolverines over Ole Miss, Penn State, and Indiana.

Bad news keeps finding wide receiver Puka Nacua. Or maybe it’s the other way around. The golden boy of the Los Angeles Rams is now at the center of a wild TMZ report alleging he spewed anti-Semitic rhetoric and bit a woman.
Puka Nacua faces explosive accusations from a woman in Los Angeles who sought a temporary restraining order against the star receiver over an incident dating back to New Year’s Eve.
The alleged incident took place in Century City on Dec. 31, 2025.
