Indiana Fever star and reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark spent most of her debut season absolutely blowing minds on the court, but why wait until next season to do it again?
After an early playoff exit for the Fever, Clark took some time off, per Sports Illustrated, but she has been back on the court recently.
Clark got a workout in on a practice court in the Fever’s home arena, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and she did something that I would be confident in saying that court has never seen before.

We recently got looks at the jerseys players will be throwing on for the NHL’s new best-on-best international tournament, the 4 Nations Face-Off, and now, a lot of the talk will be about who ends up on the roster for teams representing the US, Canada, Sweden, and Finland.
Of course, some big names like Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid are shoo-ins to make the Team Canada roster, but then the question turns to who will serve as the team’s captain.

Thursday Night’s game between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams ended in a win for Los Angeles in part because of a missed call on an obvious face mask. Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold was tackled in the end zone, pulled down by his face mask, and despite an official seemingly staring directly at the play, it was ruled a game-ending safety.

Power unit problems are making for nervous times at Red Bull ahead of the F1 Mexico City Grand Prix
Max Verstappen notched a third-place finish in last week’s Formula 1 United States Grand Prix. While the result was fraught with controversy — Verstappen benefited from a five-second handed down to his rival in the Drivers’ Championship, Lando Norris, which McLaren has since requested a “right of review” — the result allowed Verstappen to outscore his rival for the first time since the Belgian Grand Prix.

Guys… what the hell is up with chess?!
The sport of nerds and old guys in urban parks has become a hotbed for allegations of cheating — often, but not always with sex toys — and now we’ve got a player who earned himself an assault charge after he pulled a Sean Penn and hit a videographer following a loss.
I’m sure I don’t need to tell you, but the 2024 U.S. Championships took place in St. Louis recently, and there were some fireworks after a match between 17-year-old grandmaster Christopher Yoo and U.S. chess champion Fabiano Caruana.

There are crazy endings to football games, and then there are really crazy endings to football games. And then, there’s what happened in a Texas high school football game last night.
Frisco Wakeland and Frisco Lone Star were duking it out in a clash of crosstown rivals. Wakeland led 56-42 with 8:52 left in regulation, but Lone Star stormed back to take a 59-56 lead with 40 seconds left. However, the game went into overtime tied at 59.
I just want to stop and say how bonkers this game is.
