During the NFL offseason, Micah Parsons is trying out some other, less conventional athletic pursuits.
While on a tour of Asia alongside Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, the Dallas Cowboys edge rusher went one-on-one — twice —with a sumo wrestler in Tokyo. In his first attempt, Parsons was easily tossed out of the circular dohyo.
Stroud taunted the All-Pro linebacker with a “too small” celebration followed by a cradling baby gesture, which the wrestler then imitated. But Parsons wasn’t going out like that.
“Run it back,” he responded.

The Alpine F1 Academy driver swept the weekend at the Miami Grand Prix
MIAMI — At the moment, the title for the most dominant driver here at the Miami Grand Prix does not belong to Max Verstappen.
It belongs to Abbi Pulling.
The Alpine junior academy driver pulled off the double on Sunday, winning the second feature race in dominant fashion. Pulling started Sunday’s race on pole position, and led wire-to-wire for her second win of the weekend, and her third of the F1 Academy season.

For 11 consecutive years, Bundesliga was the fiefdom of Bayern Munich, which won every German league title from 2013-23.
That is not true anymore—and Bayern Munich’s dominance has been undone in record-breaking fashion.
Bayer Leverkusen—the already-crowned champions of Germany—crushed Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 Sunday to run its unbeaten streak to an astounding 48 games.
With the victory, the Leverkusen-based club tied the record for longest all-competition unbeaten streak by any European club since pan-European competition began in the 1956 season.

Brooks Koepka became the first player to win four times as part of the LIV Golf League, shooting a final-round 68 at Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore on Sunday to beat Cam Smith and Marc Leishman by two strokes.
His timing wasn’t bad, either.
A few days after offering concern about his game in light of a poor Masters performance, Koepka stepped up and won the LIV Golf Singapore even to give himself a boost heading into the defense of his PGA Championship title in two weeks.
The year’s second major begins on May 16.

One of the biggest problems for LIV Golf players right now is that their events don’t earn World Golf Rankings points like PGA Tour players do. That shuts many of the competitors out of the four major tournaments. Phil Mickelson posted a warning to those tournament organizers, but then appears to have quickly deleted it.
The gist of Mickelson’s now-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter), which was saved for posterity by others on X, is that the major tournaments need LIV Golf players more than the LIV Golf players need to play in the major tournaments.

Before he made the TD Garden crowd jump out of their seats on Saturday night, David Pastrnak’s own seat was rather hot.
The 10-year NHL veteran—and two-time All-Star—was called out by Boston Bruins coach Jim Montgomery following his second straight scoreless effort in Game 6, also Boston’s second straight loss in the series.
“Your best players need to be your best players this time of year,” Montgomery said. “I think the effort is tremendous and they need to come through with some big-time plays in big-time moments.

Cleveland and Orlando meet in the only Game 7 of the first round, and Sunday’s winner earns a spot in the semifinals against the Boston Celtics.

It’s been nine years since the Rams played their last season in St. Louis. And without an NFL team, the city has had to resort to drastic measures — like watching the UFL.
The St. Louis Battlehawks are dominating the United Football League in attendance, and it’s not even close. Through three home games, the Battlehawks are drawing an average attendance of 35,014. Meanwhile, non-St. Louis teams are averaging 10,145 fans per game through five weeks.

Clearly, women are fed up with biological men calling themselves women and trying to take over female spaces. Deta Hedman, a British female darts player, forfeited a match in the Denmark Open rather than compete against a transgender (biological male) opponent. 
Noa-Lynn van Leuven is the name of the transgender darts player and this is not the first time that players have quit due to Van Lueven competing against women. In March, two women quit the Dutch National Womens’ Team, citing the unfairness of Van Leuven being included.

The Canadian Football Hall of Fame announced their 2024 class of inductees this weekend, with one notable South Florida Bull included.
Former USF wide receiver and Brandon High School product S.J. Green was named one of seven total inductees that will be enshrined on September 14.

Over four seasons at USF (2003-2006), Green caught 62 passes for 864 yards with five touchdowns.
