The seemingly unkillable Arena League is coming back for another go in 2024 after a five-year hiatus.
The AFL, which originally formed in 1986, filed for bankruptcy in 2019 and hasn’t played a season since. In 2022, however, F1 Sports & Entertainment — no, not that F1; it stands for Force1 — bought the league and is reviving it next year.

As Alicia Keys performed the chorus with the perfect blend of voice and harmony of the popular song, New York is what Stewart’s hoops dream was made of. But she couldn’t limit herself to central New York.

Brady is supposed to take Olsen’s spot at Fox, but it’s not that simple.
1. I laid out the dilemma Fox faces now that Tom Brady has retired from the NFL in yesterday’s Traina Thoughts. Brady signed a contract last year with Fox to become its lead NFL analyst when he retires, but Greg Olsen, who he would replace in Fox’s No. 1 booth, has emerged as a fan favorite who has excellent chemistry with play-by-play man Kevin Burkhardt.

Skip Bayless has never missed a second (minus one game) of LeBron James’ games and explains the King’s ‘watershed, career breakthrough moment.

Former NFL running back Arian Foster made some headlines earlier this week when he joked that the NFL is literally scripted. He said, sarcastically, that there was a script in his locker for the entire season when he and his teammates arrived for training camp.
