Ethan Conrad, Bourne Braves (Photo by Shannen Hardy) Summer Baseball David Seifert – August 16, 2024 Bourne once again made the Western Division playoffs, finishing the regular season with an overall record of 21-17. They continued to post more Ws in the postseason, winning a winner-take-all, one game series against Hyannis in the first round of the playoffs, then taking two-of-three from Cotuit to earn a spot in the CCBL championship. However, their late season magic ended in a 4-3 loss to Harwich in the final game of the three-game championship series. Offensively during the regular season, Ethan Conrad (Wake…
Another failure to make the top four will be enough to see Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag lose his job, according to Jamie Carragher.Ten Hag signed a contract extension at Old Trafford over the summer after guiding the Red Devils to a shock FA Cup final win over Manchester City — his second trophy in two seasons with the club following their 2023 EFL Cup final success against Newcastle.However, United struggled greatly in the Premier League, slumping to eighth place and finishing eight points adrift of Aston Villa in fourth, with only that FA Cup triumph enough to secure…
At the conclusion of England’s series defeat by New Zealand last month, Steve Borthwick looked on the bright side of two narrow losses by the cumulative margin of just eight points.Despite the national head coach’s positive outlook, you got the feeling his team missed a huge opportunity to record a statement win over an All Blacks side so used to being seemingly invincible on home soil. That sense of one that got away was only emphasised further last Saturday when Argentina did what England couldn’t and beat New Zealand with a famous 38-30 win in Wellington. ‘They realise they’re in a…

Social media exploded earlier this month when footage of Khelif stopping Italian Angela Carini in just 46 seconds went viral.

The LA Clippers are preparing for PJ Tucker to remain on their roster at the start of the 24-25 season, sources tell Law Murray of The Athletic. The Clippers have explored trading Tucker since last season, but have been unable to find a workable trade. Tucker was acquired by the Clippers from the Philadelphia 76ers as part of the James Harden trade. Tucker, however, fell out of Ty Lue’s rotation for most of the 23-24 season. With most roster spots taken across the NBA, a trade is unlikely to materialize for the Clippers. Tucker is represented by Andre Buck and…

And slated to return in the main event of UFC 303 at the end of June during International…
Yesterday we reported that Notre Dame’s men’s swimming program would be suspended for a minimum of one academic year after a gambling investigation. So what now? There’s still a lot of uncertainty, but I’m wondering what the athletes will do in response. I’m not sure how long the Notre Dame team has known about this, but the news is coming right before the start of the school year and I’m guessing many incoming athletes have already moved in and started training with the team (if the team is allowed to train at all). For those who are senior or 5th…
