Marvel Rivals is blending comic book icons with hero shooter chaos — and gamers are feeling it. After the first closed beta, we got a closer look at the action as streamers tested out the game for the first time. If you felt FOMO, you’re in luck: A second closed beta is coming. Here’s what we know about the Marvel Rivals closed beta.
The second Marvel Rivals closed beta is coming soon. It’s expected to come sometime on July of 2024. An exact date hasn’t been announced just yet.

In the NHL, as in other sports, trophies are awarded for conference titles—much in the way that hardware is given to the AFC and NFC champions, American League and National League champions, and so on.
However, only hockey’s conference trophies have elaborate lore surrounding what you can do and not do with them.
Superstition generally holds that you should touch neither the Eastern Conference’s Prince of Wales Trophy nor Western Conference’s Clarence Campbell Bowl, instead saving your adulation for the Stanley Cup.

Michal Oleksiejczuk doesn’t quit easily. Possibly to his detriment.

Baseball is a great game, it is said, because no matter how badly you screw up, you have the opportunity to come back the next day and redeem yourself.
In fact, sometimes you don’t even need to wait a day.
Take the example of Chicago Cubs right fielder Seiya Suzuki, manning his familiar position Saturday evening against the Cincinnati Reds at Wrigley Field. With the bases loaded and two outs in the top of the second inning, Reds catcher Luke Maile lofted a routine fly to right—only for Suzuki to drop it.
Three runs scored and Cincinnati ended the inning with a 4-0 lead.

We now officially know one team that will appear in the Stanley Cup Final, and for the second year in a row, the Eastern Conference champs are the Florida Panthers.
They’ll get another shot at hoisting Lord Stanley’s Cup for the first time in franchise history just 12 months after coming up short against the Vegas Golden Knights.
The Panthers finished off the New York Rangers in Game 6 and carried a two-goal lead late into the third period only for the Rangers to cut the league in half with a 6-on-5 goal.

When fans watched Novak Djokovic crush Robby Ginepri 6–0, 6–0, 6–3 in the first round of the 2005 French Open, could they have known what was coming next?
That turned out to be the first Grand Slam match win for Djokovic, who won his 369th such match Friday against Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti 7–5, 6–7 (8), 2–6, 6–3, 6–0. With the win, he tied Swiss legend Roger Federer’s record. Rafael Nadal is third with 314.
Musetti did not make it easy on Djokovic, but the 37-year-old defending champion recovered to take the final two sets.

A couple of months ago, there was a kerfuffle over US Women’s National Team player Korbin Albert sharing a video that featured a pastor espousing some talking points that the LGBTQ community wouldn’t be super fond of.
She apologized for it.
But, at her next match, Albert was booed when she subbed in, which was ridiculous, but at least it was the end of the story.
Wrong.
According to Daily Mail, Albert heard boo birds once again.

ESPN’s production crew oddly forgot to include Chennedy Carter’s body check on Caitlin Clark in its recap of the Chicago Sky-Indiana Fever game.
Unfortunately, the dirty cheap shot by Carter on Clark was the most buzz-worthy event of the game. After exchanging words with Clark on the previous possession, Carter purposefully threw herself into her opponent. 
The play generated a lot of buzz, with many fans calling Carter’s hit and Angel Reese’s subsequent reaction classless. Fever general manager Lin Dunn even tweeted out her frustration after the game.

There’s been a lot of talk about former United States President Donald Trump over the last few days, and it would seem that No. 45 has been on the mind of Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey too.
Specifically, the former Commander in Chief’s old habits on Twitter, or as the kids call it now, X.
Humphrey hopped online to tweet his #UnpopularOpinion, which I think he learned pretty quickly is actually a pretty common take for anyone with an ounce of a sense of humor.
I mean, I think we all miss Trump tweets to varying degrees.

Birmingham-Southern keeps its baseball season alive with a 9–7 walk-off win over Randolph-Macon in the Division III College World Series.
