He’s 96 years old, and the zingers keep on coming. Right there on the Crimson Tide football practice field, Eddie Conyers keeps them laughing. Eddie has been a light in the lives of thousands for decades, and he’s not done yet. “I’m thinking of retiring when I reach 100,” Eddie chuckled. I reminded him that is only four years away. I joked that he will be working well past then. About 10 days ago, Coach Kalen DeBoer began his first football season at the University of Alabama with his first fall practice. Eddie started his 62nd. The Crimson Tide practice…
Not only are AC Milan forced to play catchup from a financial standpoint against the richest clubs in Europe, but they are also obliged to replicate ‘modern football’ that involves maintaining possession and implementing a high press. Thankfully, attempting to administer a certain style of play does not require monetary funds. While many may argue that Pep Guardiola’s philosophy is turning professional footballers into robots and has stripped away the flair element of the beautiful game – it has helped Italian football escape from its shell and embrace an attacking and entertaining model on the pitch. For the first time…
The Baltimore Orioles beat the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night to move to 70-48 on the season. The win, coupled with a Yankees’ doubleheader split, keeps the Orioles in first place in the American League East by 1.0 game.

Holliday looked overmatched in his first taste of big-league action but since being re-called, he’s on absolute fire. Holliday now has five home runs for his young career, and he joined Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir…

The Samu Omorodion deal has been thrown into chaos and extreme doubt, with multiple reports emerging tonight of the young striker supposedly failing his medical. The 20-year-old was held out of the gold medal game at the Olympics on Saturday, but we had all assumed it was because of the agreed move with Chelsea. Apparently not! Reports in Spain have been backed up by the likes of Fabrizio Romano and The Athletic’s David Ornstein, so there’s little reason to doubt the veracity of the doubt that now suddenly surrounds this €40m deal. While we have seen deals come back from…
The Baltimore Orioles have a lot of highly-ranked prospects, and because of that there is an urgency to see them as soon as humanly possible. That was the case with Jackson Holliday, whose first MLB stint went about as poorly as one would expect. Holliday, who is still just 20 years old, went 2-for-34 and was immediately sent back down to Norfolk. There, Holliday refined his swing and (eventually) earned another call-up. His second stint in the bigs has gone quite well, as he’s hit five home runs since being recalled. “I’m not trying to hit homers. I’m just trying to hit the…

Chelsea captain, Reece James has reportedly suffered an injury setback ahead of the Manchester City clash at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. This was disclosed by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano in a tweet on his X account at the weekend. “Reece James has suffered minor hamstring injury this week, as @SJohnsonSport has reported,” Romano tweeted. “Not serious injury but Chelsea staff will be careful to have Reece in best conditions possible when back.” James will not be starting the season in…
After AC Milan Futuro’s first competitive game – which saw the young Rossoneri team win 3-0 – Kevin Zeroli spoke to the media about his changing role within the side and the group as a whole. Of course, there have been positives we could take from earlier stages of the Milan Futuro setup, but now we can say that the side have played, and won, their first competitive fixture, which is massive for several reasons. Not only does it show that the youngsters can compete against a fellow Serie C side, albeit Lecco reside in Girone A, whereas, the Rossoneri are…
