(Photo courtesy of SFA) Stories Joe Healy – November 26, 2024 If you’re not familiar with the story of Sisyphus in Greek mythology, just know this: he was doomed to a life of pushing a boulder up a hill, only for the boulder to roll all the way back down the hill every time he got it close to the top. In this way, Stephen F. Austin baseball has been a lot like Sisyphus over the last 15 years. Previous head coach Johnny Cardenas did a lot of things right. He…
Ireland has been building slowly but surely during this November series. The loss to New Zealand was marred with basic head-scratching errors in the opening game and put Andy Farrell’s men under the microscope. Argentina nearly made history in what would have been their first win in Dublin but Ireland’s defence did just enough right up to the 80th minute. Fiji saw an injection of new blood with Gus McCarthy and Cormac Izuchukwu making their international debuts. Sam Prendergast made his first start on just his second cap. Fiji were a shambles during this game and Ireland grabbed at the…

SHORTLY after Jake Paul had chugged his way past Mike Tyson, his DMs were filling up with the usual kind of appreciative fan mail. On this occasion, the most pertinent arrived from other, seemingly more legitimate, sources. IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois was the latest high-profile name to offer Paul a crack at his belt. The YouTuber-turned-boxer responded by stating that he would consult his business partner to contact Warren, adding, tongue in cheek, that he would put Dubois in line for the throne. The final comment is perhaps a little closer to the truth than some might admit. If…
Tiger Woods has announced that he will not compete at the Hero World Challenge in December. Woods, who hosts the event in the Bahamas, has not played since The Open, more than four months ago. He underwent back surgery in September. “I am disappointed that I will not be able to compete this year at the Hero World Challenge, but always look forward to being tournament host,” Woods wrote on X. Woods said after The Open at Royal Troon that he intended to play, but it now looks to be too early for him during his recovery. The 15-time major…
Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone was not happy with his team’s effort in a blowout home loss to the New York Knicks. Malone also called out his team’s leaders by saying he needs them to be more vocal. “Well, yeah, I mean like Russell Westbrook, he’s vocal — but we need more than Russell Westbrook,” Malone replied when asked about Westbrook’s leadership after the veteran guard addressed the team in a huddle. “I need Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, I need guys that have been here in that starting lineup to be vocal. And you know tonight we got embarrassed.…
As the PFL prepares for its 2024 season to come to a close on Friday, several prominent fighters from Bellator have come out publicly criticizing the promotion for inactivity with no signs about when they’ll fight again. PFL bought out Bellator in 2023, and even kept the brand alive for this past year, but questions about the future of the organization have plagued the promotion in recent days. Champions such as Patricio Pitbull, Patchy Mix and Corey Anderson have all lamented long layoffs and in some cases fight cancellations with only one Bellator card currently scheduled for January, but none…
Sebastian Massabie Named Canada’s Breakout Paralympic Swimmer of the Year Sebastian Massabie’s first year on the international Paralympic swimming scene was a memorable one, culminating last week in being named Swimming Canada’s Paralympic Breakout Swimmer of the Year. Massabie, 19, is the fifth winner of the award. It’s been a quick ascent for the native of Surrey, British Columbia. He received his classification in December 2023 at the Ken Demchuk International Swim Meet, which set him on the path toward Paralympic qualification. At that meet, he set six Canadian records and was named the male swimmer of the meet. …
Price: £49.99 / $59.99Max Lumens: 300Weight: 84.5gBattery Life: 6-200hrs Rear bike lights, more so than front, have seen little change over the years. LED bulbs have replaced filament ones, but when the chips are down most rear bike lights simply shine a red light straight backwards in an effort to make sure distracted motorists notice you. Smart features are now pretty frequently seen, with the likes of the Exposure Boost-R offering brake lighting and ‘Peloton’ mode whereby it dims when it detects a rider behind you so as not to dazzle them. The Knog Cobber range opts to curve a panel…
