Twenty years ago, we’d be talking about Edey as the runaway favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick. But Purdue’s star big man is a tough fit in the modern NBA.

Shane Lowry would rather Rory McIlroy not be dragged through the mud after already suffering what many would say was the most gruesome loss of his professional career at the U.S. Open. While Lowry’s heart is in the right place, that’s not how the sports world works, especially when we’re talking about one of the most influential and outspoken golfers ever suffering one of the game’s all-time collapses.
McIlroy stood on the 15th tee at eight-under par before making bogeys on three of his final four holes.

People might run into a little confusion when they pre-order “College Football 25.”
The first college football video game by EA Sports in 11 years will be released July 19th, but there is the opportunity to get early access for a little extra money.
That’s where my confusion started, and it’s still not crystal clear what’s going on.
After a *VERY* stressful and expensive Tuesday afternoon, I decided to treat myself and uplift my spirits with a couple beers and by pre-ordering “College Football 25.

Make Grimace the Mets’ new mascot

USC was disappointing, finishing under .

Very few ballplayers loved the game like Willie Mays did and the game reciprocated that love even before his passing.
When someone who was larger than life passes on from this life, you often hear people say that it’s “impossible to put into words” just how important that particular person was. While that might be 100 percent true when it comes to the legendary Willie Mays, it’s also true that maybe words are the best way to talk about The Say Hey Kid and his impact on the game of baseball.

Connor McDavid clinched Game 5 for Edmonton, and Panthers GM Bill Zito was not exactly happy
The Stanely Cup Final is headed back to Edmonton.
After the Oilers won Game 4 at home to push the NHL Stanley Cup Final back to Florida, they forced Game 6 with a 5-3 win over the Florida Panthers to keep their title hopes alive.
Edmonton star Connor McDavid was huge again for the Oilers, making NHL history as he notched a “three-point period” in Game 5.

Mays, who died Tuesday, was truly a player before his time. The numbers we value in today’s game would have only enhanced his all-time place.

J.J. McCarthy and Dallas Turner attempted first pitches at Tuesday’s Twins game. They did not go well
The Minnesota Vikings drafted J.J. McCarthy and Dallas Turner in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft because both are incredible athletes on the football field. Turner was one of the top pass rushers in this draft class, and is coming off an 11-sack season for Alabama. McCarthy was part of a deep quarterback crop, and helped the Michigan Wolverines to a National Championship a season ago.
