But the news of the biggest European clubs forming their own sSuperleague” starting in 2022 is more likely to be used as blackmail to UEFA more than it is actual formation.The end goal is for the rich...
Let’s all enjoy the Yankees being ass
I fell into the trap, too. The return to a 162-game season lent a feeling of the Yankees being inevitable in the AL East. After all, the Red Sox simply declined to compete again (though no one seems to have told their players yet), the Blue Jays fel about a year away, and the Orioles smell like a sm...

Lightning strike can’t keep women’s Aussie Rules Football star from glory
The fifth season of women’s Australian rules football, AFLW, wrapped up on Saturday with the Grand Final at the Adelaide Oval, and after falling short in their first two cracks at becoming champions, the Brisbane Lions claimed their first premiership title with a 6.2 (38)-3.2 (20) victory over the d...
