The focus of the season for the Baltimore Orioles has been on winning games. Rightfully so, too, as that’s always the goal during the year. However, after acquiring Corbin Burnes in a blockbuster trade in the offseason, they have to figure out his contract situation. The right-hander hits free agency at the end of the season and is expected to command a contract well over $200 million. Things have changed for the Orioles in multiple ways, but historically, the franchise hasn’t paid players in that type of way. Their young core does allow them to pay Burnes, as many of them don’t hit free…

Bronny James had a shaky start to his professional career. Criticism rained down on the Los Angeles Lakers rookie after two less-than-stellar performances in the NBA Summer League; however, some analysts consider that it was all the fault of the team’s management. The eldest son of Lakers star LeBron James began generating expectations during his high school days. The possibility of the young prospect playing with his father in an official NBA game made him the target of critics and analysts alike. The cardiac arrest he suffered in July 2023, when he was already playing for the USC Trojans, only increased the scrutiny on the…
Angel Reese BEATS Caitlin Clark in shooting contest to win $100 prize… before rival blanks her as she celebrates with All-Star teammates During a practice for the WNBA All-Star game, long-standing rivals and temporary teammates Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese competed in a half-court shooting contest. ADVERTISEMENT Reminiscent of last year’s national championship game, Reese was victorious over Clark, sinking her long-range shot, and Clark not swishing hers. There was no pointing to her ring finger in this celebration, just her holding three fingers in the air, then high-fives all-around for her teammates, but not one for…
With much love to the clothing designers who may be among Chiesa di Totti’s readership, I’ve often felt that the easiest job in the world might just be designing Roma’s kits every year. The colors are so iconic yet simultaneously so unique to Roma that pairing red and goldish-yellow almost always results in a slam dunk of a kit, whether the distributor has been Adidas, New Balance, Nike, or even the club itself. Roma’s first season as an Adidas club showcased this to a certain extent: the home kit wasn’t anything over-the-top, but it did the job well, letting the…
Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese BOTH set WNBA All-Star Game records on historic night for rookie sensations On a spectacular night for the WNBA All-Stars, who defeated Team USA in the league’s All-Star game, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese both set records themselves.

Clark set the rookie record for assists in an All-Star Game, with 10. She fell two assists shy of the all-time All-Star Game record, 12, held by Sue Bird. …
One of Chelsea’s big priorities (as it has been for the last couple of years) is getting Romelu Lukaku off the books, either on loan or ideally, on a permanent transfer. The £100m-odd paid for him from Inter Milan has made that impossible so far – nobody has offered close to what we want, and we don’t want to realise a hideous loss on the books, so it’s all been loans for the striker so far. But now it seems like a reunion is on the cards with Antonio Conte, this time in Naples. There’s still a big difference between…

José Mourinho’s assistant, Salvatore Foti, feels the Special One deserved a ‘different farewell’ at Roma and believes there has ‘always been a lot of envy’ towards the Portuguese coach. Foti has followed Mourinho at Fenerbahce after spending nearly two years with the ex-Giallorossi boss in the capital. “There is a solid bond. We are both straightforward people, and our rapport has improved with time, fuelled by results and trust,” the former striker told Il Secolo XIX, as quoted by Corriere dello Sport. “We’ve had strong experiences that have united us. I feel his trust.” Mourinho spent two and a half years in…
