After parting ways with head coach Steve Nash earlier this week, the Brooklyn Nets announced on Thursday that it will be suspending Kyrie Irving for at least five games without pay for his failure to disavow antisemitism when given a clear opportunity to do so, further stating that he is “currently unfit to be associated with the Brooklyn Nets.” It’s reported that Kyrie’s five-game suspension without pay will extend until he “satisfies a series of objective remedial measures that address the harmful impact of his conduct.” Last week, Irving was criticized for tweeting a link to the controversial movie “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America,” based on Ronald Dalton’s 2018 book which is seen as antisemitic by civil rights groups. Following the backlash, the tweet was deleted and Irving a...

Tiger Woods will make his first televised appearance since The Open Championship when he plays in Capital One’s The Match on December 10, 2022, according to a report from The Fried Egg. The seventh edition of the made-for-TV competition will pit PGA Tour poster boys Woods and Rory McIlroy against Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth in a 12 hole, prime time, under the lights showdown. Tiger made three competitive appearances in 2021, his first full year of competition after the February ‘21 car crash that left him bedridden for three months. After playing the first two majors of the season, he skipped the US Open and finished his year at St Andrews where he missed the cut and appeared to struggle physically.  Meanwhile, from a business point of view, in the time since Woods last teed ...

The NFL’s Washington Commanders may have a new owner in the near future. Per a press release from the organization, current owner Dan Snyder has hired US Bank to explore “potential transactions.” Forbes valued the team at $5.6 billion USD in its annual list of NFL team valuations, making it the sixth most valuable franchise in the league — and an unnamed source has told CNBC that a sale of the team could fetch up to $7 billion USD. Snyder has been in hot water with both the NFL and the US Government’s House Oversight Committee for a history of sexual harassment and financial misconduct through the organization, but he isn’t being forced to sell the team by the NFL. The league said in statement that their review of the organization is still undergoing and does not currently have a timeline,...

Between Kevin Durant requesting a trade and endless drama surrounding both Ben Simmons and Kyrie Irving separately, the Brooklyn Nets were anything but stable heading into the 2022-23 NBA season. As a result, head coach Steve Nash had his hands full when developing a game plan for the team. Unfortunately for the Nets, the result is a 2-5 start to the season that has prompted Nash to part ways with the team. Announced as a mutual decision, Nash leaves his role as head coach with just over two seasons with the team. His first time as a head coach, Nash led the Nets to a 94-67 regular season record across his three seasons of coaching, pairing with a 7-9 playoff record that includes getting swept by the Boston Celtics in 2022. Looking at potential replacements, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski has r...

Bronny James is considered a part of the next generation of young superstars the NBA community is keeping an eye on. Since his dad and current Los Angeles Laker, LeBron James announced that he wants to, by all means necessary, play with his son in his final NBA season, the young king has had more eyes on him than ever. Bronny is currently a senior at Sierra Canyon High School and is a four-star college recruit. Many have said that he could make it as a solid NBA player, however a recent report from Dana O’Neil of The Athletic has revealed that “most coaches and scouts” from major conferences schools have told the publication that they do not think he is NBA ready just yet. Bronny evidently has choices as a top 100 recruit, showing undeniable talent. Aside from playing college ball, Bronny ...

Luka Doncic continues to prove that he is not only a European superstar but a well-seasoned veteran on the court. The Slovenija player is only in his fifth season of the NBA and currently holds a stunning record, matched with the GOAT, Michael Jordan.

“Go west, young man” was a phrase that was first uttered at the beginning of America’s westward expansion in the 1810s, but in the current century, it applies to major soccer stars. Heading to the USA for an end-of-career MLS stint has been a way for aging legends like David Beckham, Wayne Rooney, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thierry Henry to bask in the adulation of a new audience, collect a solid check and establish their reputation in a country that has long appreciated them from a distance — and the latest football icon to do this just might be Lionel Messi. Messi, who at 35 years old has 7 Ballon D’Or awards to his name, is currently in the second to last year of his three-year contract with Paris-Saint Germain. However, the final year is a player option, which means Messi can depart PSG if...

Jake Paul once again advances his boxing record, this time with a win over the legendary mixed martial artist Anderson “The Spider” Silva. Leading up to the fight, many thought that regardless of Silva’s age at 47-year-old, he would dance around Paul due to his past experience and dominance in the cage, and based on his performance against Julio Caesar Chavez Jr. back in 2021. Early on in the fight, it looked as if there was a chance Paul bit off more than he could chew as Silva was all technique, gradually wearing Paul down with his movement. Things began to shift as Paul landed heavier shots, including one that left Silva’s nose bloodied. Paul’s victory was cemented when he dropped the Brazilian in the eighth round with a counter right. Paul was eventually awarded the eight-round unanimo...
