The highly anticipated upcoming college football video game from EA Sports will add a touch of realism with its broadcast experience.
Kirk Herbstreit, one of the announcers who leant his voice to College Football 25, told USA Today this week that he and partner Chris Fowler won’t be the only announcers players hear in the game. There will be multiple broadcast teams that will change based on the “magnitude” of the matchup, according to Herbstreit.
“Chris and I won’t be on every every game,” Herbstreit said.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s popularity very obviously rose in the last year since he started dating international pop star Taylor Swift.
While the couple seems to be living their best lives, dating one of the world’s most famous people comes with some difficulties. For Kelce, an issue for him is receiving too much mail.
At some point, the three-time Super Bowl champion’s address was posted online, which led to a flood of packages and letters being sent to him.

Chicago Cubs pitcher Shota Imanaga has been dominant to start his career in Major League Baseball, with just a 0.78 ERA in his first six starts.
He’s walked just one hitter per nine innings, leading to a sparkling 23.5 percent K-BB%. He’s also racked up five wins, tying him with three other starters for first in baseball. Given his early success, it’s easy to forget that the 30-year-old is in his debut season in American baseball, after years of pitching in the Japanese Nippon League.

Inter Miami FC will soon unveil Miami Dolphins-inspired kits this summer. The news was confirmed by the Miami Herald after a few weeks of rumors about the emergence of a third uniform option.
A rumored look at the aqua-themed kits has emerged online, featuring a not-to-scale image of Tua Tagovailoa towering over Lionel Messi. Reasonable minds can disagree but they look pretty slick.
Inter Miami has predictably ascended on the world stage as they brought in Messi last year and further leveraging the local market with tried-and-true threads is a really smart idea.

Ahead of this week’s LIV Golf event in Singapore, Brooks Koepka discussed his poor form and disappointing Masters finish.
In two weeks’ time, Brooks Koepka will arrive at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, as the defending champion of the PGA Championship.
He decimated Oak Hill over the final 54 holes a year ago, easily waltzing his way around the Western New York property.

One of the signs that summer is right around the corner comes on the first weekend in May with the Kentucky Derby.
I love watching the Derby because there’s nothing like watching 4 hours of pre-race coverage for a race that takes less time than a commercial break.
Hunter S. Thompson once called it “decadent and depraved” and that’s why everyone seems to like it.
However, I’m not particularly learned in the world of thoroughbred racing. All I know is that any of Bob Baffert’s horses usually win and that the names these horses have are fantastic.

There’s only one game on the evening slate tonight, so all eyes will be on the Houston Astros again.
The Cleveland Guardians are one of the hottest teams in baseball, and the Astros have won three of their last four, and they may be able to start digging out of their hole.
Pick a winner. Nah.   
Play some plus-money props?  Yes, indeed!  
Consider the value for these props offering plus-money payouts—all odds, according to DraftKings.
Let’s start with a strikeout prop for tonight:
The Guardians have a mere 19.7% strikeout rate this season—the fifth-lowest in MLB.

Speaking with the media ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, Daniel Ricciardo made it clear he just wants to be racing again
MIAMI — It would be fair to say that the 2024 Formula 1 season has not started the way Daniel Ricciardo has wanted. Following his shocking return to the grid midway through last year, and the work he did to see AlphaTauri move up the Constructors’ standings in the late stages of the season, Ricciardo has yet to open his account here in the 2024 campaign.
Complicating matters was how his weekend ended in Shanghai.

Tiger Woods is heading to Pinehurst in June.
The United States Golf Association announced Thursday that the three-time U.S. Open champion has accepted a special exemption to the 124th edition of the championship, to be held June 13-16 at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.
The Hall of Famer was not exempt for the tournament, the first time since the 1996 PGA Championship that he had not been exempt for a major. He got a five-year exemption into the U.S. Open for winning the 2019 Masters, which began with the 2019 edition and ended last year.

Player teed it up with Donald Trump and reminded the former president why he is an all-time legend in golf.
A video surfaced Wednesday of Gary Player and Donald Trump enjoying a round of golf at Trump International Palm Beach Golf Club.
Player, the 9-time major champion, made an impressive chip-in shot during the round. At 88 years old, Player is still enjoying golf and likely breaking his age in score.
The legend hits his shot and immediately says, “There it is.
