#FoxAfterDark: 11 primetime CFB games to watch on Friday night
Friday nights in the fall have always seemed a bit light on televised football. With high schools playing their varsity games on Friday nights, and NFL games dominating Sunday, Monday and Thursday, Friday TV has normally gone to the most unhinged college football games of the season (see: Stanford @ Colorado last year).

The New York Yankees have gotten off to an exceptional start through late-May with a 34-17 record and three-game lead in the American League East.
After a disappointing 2023 saw them miss the postseason, the Yankees increased spending by acquiring superstar outfielder Juan Soto in December from the San Diego Padres. Soto’s $31 million salary pushed the Yankees spending this season to over $300 million, an entirely justifiable number for the country’s largest media market.
Well, justifiable to everyone except the Yankees owner.

The NBA has closed its investigation into Thunder guard Josh Giddey, sources told ESPN, after police previously determined they would not pursue charges following allegations that Giddey had an inappropriate relationship with an underage girl.

Louisville police said the arresting officer in the Scottie Scheffler incident violated procedure by not activating his bodycam video recorder and has been disciplined.

Qualifying in Monaco is everything, and it might come down to ‘risk assessment’ from each driver
On many Formula 1 race weekends, the matter of which drivers reach the podium, or win outright, can come down to the machinery in their hands.
In the Monaco Grand Prix, however, it could come down to their hands themselves.

Before the start of the April NFL draft, the New York Giants decided they’d like to add Drake Maye in the first round. He was their guy.
The Giants knew they weren’t getting Caleb Williams, who ended up going No. 1 overall to the Chicago Bears. And the consensus on Jayden Daniels was he needed some work, but the Washington Commanders were likely going to pick him No. 2, anyway.
But Maye? He could be within reach. And Giants’ evaluators loved his prototype size (6-4, 224 pounds), smarts, arm talent, competitiveness and, ultimately, his potential.

As the battle in the NL continues between three powerhouses, one club makes its debut at the top spot.

When you hear the name Drew Brees, you probably think of an undersized quarterback with a rocket launcher attached to his right shoulder and just an overall all-time great signal caller. You wouldn’t think of him being the most athletic quarterback to play in the NFL, but you certainly wouldn’t make the claim he wasn’t athletic.
Unless if you’re Michael Robinson of the NFL Network.

Women’s softball, like all NCAA sports, relies on transfers to get teams over the top. Here are the top transfers in 2024.
It doesn’t matter which sport, these days college coaches have to recruit three areas: high school, their own rosters, and the transfer portal. For the teams at the top of the sport, the portal can be the most important recruiting area to fill needs that are keeping those teams from reaching their goals.

Paul Skenes made his third career start for the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday afternoon, following up his remarkably dominant performance last week against the Chicago Cubs.
READ: Paul Skenes Throws Six No-Hit Innings In Second Start, Strikes Out Seven Straight
Skenes in that start was almost unbelievably unhittable; 11 strikeouts, with 22 swings and misses and a 35 percent called strike/whiff rate. Out of 100 pitches, Skenes allowed just one hard hit ball to be put in play. Thursday’s performance, while still excellent, was nowhere near that level.
