Iran still has the capabilities to enrich uranium — despite U.S. and Israeli strikes — and could restart its nuclear program if it wanted to, Tehran’s foreign minister claimed. While the U.S. struck three key Iranian nuclear sites, Israel destroyed much of its air defenses, took out top military commanders and killed at least 13 nuclear scientists and more than ...
NFL football is back. Sort of. Sort of NFL football. Regardless, the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Game was the first time any of the league’s teams had met between the lines since Super Bowl 59 – and, sadly, Thursday night’s contest was somehow exponentially less suspenseful than the Philadelphia Eagles’ one-night dismantling of the Kansas City Chiefs’ dynasty ...
PHOENIX — It’s like handing a basketball to Michael Jordan. It’s like giving a microphone to Beyoncé. It’s like providing Tony Robbins an audience. Granting San Diego Padres GM A.J. Preller a trade deadline. Preller, who lives for this time of year, and loves to play pick-up basketball at any opportunity, slam-dunked on his competition by pulling off the biggest ...
In this, the year of the flawed team, Major League Baseball’s July 31 trade deadline was appropriately odd and incomplete, largely a slew of imperfect players heading to teams with uncertain playoff prospects, and some of the better prizes ending up in situations where October baseball, let alone the World Series, are far from a certainty. So, who ended up ...
August is an important month in fantasy football. Maybe the most important month. It’s when position battles take place during training camp. When exhibition games get teams out on the field against each other. It’s also when injuries, unfortunately, start to mount. And it’s when average fantasy draft positions begin to take shape. Of course, every fantasy draft is different, ...
BRISTOL, TN — Using a cliché to describe a sporting event has become, well, cliché. Some clichés have made a complete 360, where they start as a description of a sports situation, graduate to becoming totally figurative, and then come home to roost. Such is the situation in Bristol, Tennessee, where the NASCAR racetrack has such an uneven infield that ...
Terry McLaurin has spent the 2025 NFL offseason attempting to negotiate a contract extension with the Washington Commanders. With no such deal yet reached, the 29-year-old wide receiver has requested a trade. It isn’t clear whether Washington will grant McLaurin’s request. The 2024 All-Pro second-teamer was critical to their offensive success, generating 82 catches, 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns in ...
President Donald Trump announced Friday that he has ‘ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions’ following ‘highly provocative statements’ made by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. Medvedev said earlier this week that Trump’s new deadline for Russia to end the conflict with Ukraine is an additional ‘step towards war.’ ‘Based on the highly provocative statements of ...
President Donald Trump issued a full-throated endorsement of Florida state Sen. Joe Gruters for the role of Republican National Committee chair after pre-endorsing him for the role last week. ‘He will be a wonderful Chairman!’ the president declared in a lengthy Truth Social post. Gruters is currently listed as the RNC’s treasurer. The president endorsed RNC national committeewoman from New ...
After the typically furious last couple of hours before Major League Baseball’s trade deadline, it only takes a few minutes for the air to clear and the silence to amplify those untraded stars who stayed with their teams. And in a mild upset, Sandy Alcantara is still a Marlin. Good for them. Hey, perhaps it’s just a byproduct that in ...
