Cycling’s landmark event is about to get underway. Here is how, and what, to watch
Cycling’s premier event is about to get underway.
And it will look a little different than in year’s past.
The 2024 Tour de France, the 111th in history, begins on Saturday June 29. However, the starting point for this year’s Tour de France, as well as the finish line, will mark a series of firsts for the event.

It was inevitable that golf was going to be discussed during the Presidential Debate on Thursday night. On one side, you have Donald Trump, who may play more golf than any current or former elected official ever, always at the ready to talk about winning club championships. Then you have Joe Biden, who still likes to play, although his game is more like ‘hit it, find it, and go hit it again,’ which is not unlike most other 81 year olds out there.

I know all eyes are on that trainwreck of a debate from last night, and rightfully so. Yikes. BUT, for those of you searching for an alternate route to travel today, let me introduce you to the wildest set of NBA Draft allegations this side of the Mississippi. 
Strap in. 
For those who missed it – and that’s all of you, because who watched the NBA Draft? – Duke star Kyle Filipowski mysteriously slid (that’s relative in the NBA Draft) to the second round of the draft.

The Saints hovered around .500 last season and that could happen again after an uninspiring offseason.

Here’s our first projection of the 2025 NBA Draft.
The 2024 NBA Draft never had a consensus No. 1 overall prospect at any point in the cycle. That won’t be the case next year. Duke freshman forward Cooper Flagg feels like a lock to go first in the 2025 NBA Draft, and his looming entrance to the league is about to set off a race to the bottom for teams who realize they aren’t good enough to make the playoffs.
Now that the 2024 draft has come and gone, and it’s time to look ahead to the 2025 NBA Draft.

Hunter has skills on both sides of the ball, but what’s his best fit at the next level?
When the 2025 NFL draft rolls around, teams will have to make one fascinating decision regarding Colorado’s Travis Hunter:
Will he be better as a receiver or as a cornerback at the next level?
What we saw from Hunter’s first major college season in 2023 was quite a revelation. Hunter was a legitimate two-way star – not a guy who played mostly on one side of the ball, and barely on the other. Hunter was a legitimate both-sides star for the Buffaloes.

Not every pick from the first round is perfect, but these ones sure are.
The first round of the 2024 NBA Draft has come and gone, and it was a night full of surprises. Despite 2024 being a draft class that has been considered weak, there were a bunch of pretty fun players going to interesting spots. The French continued their world domination via basketball, as Frenchmen Zaccharie Risacher, Alex Sarr, and Tidjane Salaun all going in the top-6 picks.

Nick Saban might not be coaching football at Alabama anymore, but he’s still getting paid big money.
The seven-time national champion coach rode off into the sunset after last season, and he’s viewed by most fans as the greatest coach in the history of the sport.
However, the party has to eventually end for everyone, and Saban decided his time to step away had come. The good news is he isn’t going to have to worry about money.
Saban earned right around $11 million for his final season coaching the Crimson Tide.

Everything you need to know to watch this year’s Tour de France.
