The United States women’s national soccer team has fallen to fifth in the latest FIFA rankings, which is the team’s worst world ranking since FIFA began ranking women’s teams in 2003.
The USWNT held the No. 4 ranking in the world in March, but prior to 2024, the team had never been ranked worse than second. The team has dropped three places in the world ranking in just six months, which for a once powerhouse squad, is an eye-opening development. The USWNT held the top spot in the world rankings between 2008 and 2014 and again from 2017 to June 2023.

Donald Trump sat down with Logan Paul this week for nearly an hour, and, I’ll be honest with you, it may have been Trump’s best interview ever. 
That’s not shtick. It’s not hyperbole. I’m not near the Trump fan I was eight years ago – I’m more of a DeSantis guy now, but we’re all on the same team! – but even I can admit, he crushed this one.

Former Texas star BJ Johnson apparently had a very interesting interaction with Urban Meyer in high school.
Johnson was a standout receiver for the Longhorns from 2000 through 2003, and he was a highly-touted prospect coming out of high school.
So much so that Urban Meyer decided to pay him a visit when he was an assistant at Notre Dame. However, the three-time national champion didn’t come to just talk football, according to Johnson.
He allegedly came ready to offer some money.
“Hell, Urban Meyer locked me in an office in my school, and no bullsh*t, asked me straight up.

A change to the FIA International Sporting Code could see phenom Andrea Kimi Antonelli on the grid this season
This week the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the world’s motorsport governing body, published an update to the International Sporting Code. The update to Appendix L involves international drivers’ licenses as well as Super Licenses.
And the updated regulation might just open the door to a young driver seeing the Formula 1 grid before his 18th birthday.

METAIRIE, Louisiana – If you’re going to play hard to get, you better first make sure you’re pretty hot. Especially in the NFL.
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is no longer so hot. He’s much like the franchise for which he plays. Used to be hot, but gradually going down each year since 2021 to just a simmer the last three seasons and likely more of that decreasing heat in 2024.
On Thursday, though, Kamara made a big play – something he hasn’t done much since 2020. Or some say even before that.

It’s now or never for Deshaun Watson and the Browns
The Deshaun Watson trade has been quite simply a trainwreck for the Cleveland Browns. After giving him a $230 million deal that was fully guaranteed, Watson has been mired by injuries and constant reminders of a player that he once was. As the Browns made their playoff run on the back of their top rated defense and Joe Flacco (!), the questions looming around the future of Watson and how good he truly is grew louder and louder.

On and off the court, Derrick White’s presence has lifted Boston to where they are today.
When the Boston Celtics got eliminated by the Brooklyn Nets in the 2021 NBA playoffs, the screen faded to black, and the credits began to run. The Brad Stevens years had come to a disappointing close, yet simultaneously, the true Stevens era hadn’t even begun.
Danny Ainge retired, if only for a short time, and it allowed Stevens to move to the front office.
