But it also contains some things you wouldn’t expect, like that he’s an entrepreneur, a speaker and a best-selling author. When you read the “About Logan” section…
Before we go any further I need to say it too. I know, it’s been covered and thank you to all the people who pointed it out on X. Tom Wright, for the love of god, run it closer to the sticks.Now, we begin. Australia are two games into their Grand Slam northern hemisphere tour, the halfway mark. I think Wallabies’ fans would have bitten your hand off to get two wins on the trot before they made the trip up north.

Cinkara grabbed the mandatory spot after winning a final eliminator against Armend Xhoxhaj in two rounds in April.

The NBA will experiment with a new four-team tournament-style All-Star Game in 2025. There will be two semifinal games up to 40 points with the winning teams advancing to a final game played to 25 points. The league is hoping the quick-burst competition and pickup ball style will inject a more competitive and watchable All-Star Game.

The 2025 NBA All-Star Game will be held in San Francisco at Chase Center, home of Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors.
Former undisputed UFC flyweight champion, Demetrious Johnson has revealed he crunched the numbers from his gold laden tenure with the Dana White-led promotion, claiming he was “f*cking gutted” to discover how underpaid he was during his time with the organization. Johnson, a former undisputed flyweight champion and pound-for-pound number one fighter on the promotion’s books, departed the Octagon in a high-profile trad with ONE Championship, with Ben Askren moving the other way to the North American-based promotion back in 2018. And calling time on his illustrious mixed martial arts career earlier this year, Kentucky native, Johnson — who is regarded…

Trentino is expected to make a formal bid to host the 2031 multi-discipline super UCI World Championships and so the Tour of Alps will highlight the potential of that area as a cycling outdoor…
Hello BP Readers, We recently met with our ownership and wanted to provide you with an update on the state of things at Baseball Prospectus and our plans for the future. To get straight to the core of it: Like a lot of places with our business model, our subscriptions have tailed off a bit over the last 1-2 seasons. It’s nothing dire at the moment, but also something we want to be aggressive about remedying. One solution available to us is to raise the price of our subscription—we’ve been told many times by readers that they’d pay more for…
