As we’ve grown accustomed to in the past years, the Spurs 2024-25 season has been full of inconsistencies, despite showing some improvements in comparison to last year.

The team is currently trying their best to play without Victor Wembanyama, who fell to injury and has missed the past…
A pair of Bellator champions are growing frustrated with a lack of activity since PFL took over the organization in 2023. Patchy Mix and Corey Anderson are both lamenting continued delays in booking fights with no sign when either might return to action. Mix in particular was understandably upset after he was actually booked to defend his title against Leandro Higo in November at a Bellator card in Paris but the entire event was scrapped in October. The next Bellator card is now scheduled in January in Dubai with lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov defending his title against Paul Hughes but…

After leading now-rival Texas A&M to the National Championship series in Omaha last June, Schlossnagle rejoined his best friend, Chris Del Conte, as Texas in a move that sent shockwaves across the college baseball landscape.As one might expect, there was plenty of drama surrounding that move. Aggies weren’t particularly pleased about the move,…

IN an interesting move going forward, Teofimo Lopez has added top trainer Eddy Reynoso to his team. The hook-up is unsurprising given the blossoming relationship between Lopez and Reynoso’s prize asset, Canelo Alvarez. ‘The Takeover’ has been invited out to train with Canelo in the past and the pair recently enjoyed some light sparring. It will be interesting to see how the dynamic works out, as Joey Gamache was previously part of the setup before exiting. Teofimo Lopez Sr will remain in camp. Teofimo Jr’s career has hit a bit of a lull since a summer 2023 win over Josh…
