Back in April, Drake took to Instagram to share that he had placed a $200,000 USD bet on the Golden State Warriors to take NBA Western Conference Title. Just earlier this week, Steph Curry and co. have won the title and will now be heading to the NBA Finals for the sixth time in eight seasons. Drake has recently been busy on Stake making bets from events of the Super Bowl to the NBA Playoffs. However, long before Stake, the Toronto rapper has a long history with sports betting, often showing support in terms of the dollar to his own hometown team, the Toronto Raptors. There is no word on who Drake is rooting for to win the NBA Finals and whether or not he will place a bet on the Warriors winning the title all the way. Golden State beat the Dallas Mavericks in a 4-1 series win. Curry was al...

Real Madrid has won the Champions League for the 14th time — twice as much as any other club in the history of the competition. As a rematch of the 2018 CL Final, tensions were already high going into the match, but an unforeseen incident outside the Stade de France would end up delaying the game by over 30 minutes. Viewers from around the world wondered at why the match was being pushed back, as video footage began to surface of thousands of Liverpool supporters waiting outside the gates of the stadium. “I’ve never been so scared in my life,” said Peter Clarkson, a Liverpool season ticket holder for over 20 years. “I’ve been to five Champions League finals but I’ve never experienced anything like this. It was awful. I spoke to (FSG president) Mike Gordon outside the ground and he said it ...

AS Roma and Jose Mourinho have created history as the the first winners of the UEFA Europa Conference League. A goal in the 32-minute by Nicolo Zaniolo helped Jose Mourinho and his team secure a win against Dutch side Feyenoord beating them 1-0. Mourinho remains undefeated in major European finals and secures his fifth European title. On the other hand, Roma are the first Italian side to win a major European competition since Inter Milan in 2010, which Mourinho also managed. Infamously known as “The Special One,” he claims it no longer applies as he labels it an “old story.” During a post-match interview, Mourinho announced that he is here to stay despite rumors. “This remains in the history of Roma, but also mine. I was told only I, Sir Alex (Ferguson) and Giovanni Trapattoni won tro...

The 2021-22 NBA season was a massive disappointment to fans of the Brooklyn Nets franchise, especially after the teamw as eliminated in a 4-0 sweep in the first round of the playoffs. While there were many reasons why the Nets were not at their bests entering the playoffs, Kyrie Irving‘s long-term status with the team has recently come into question. Earlier this year, Irving declined his $36.9 million USD option to become an unrestricted free agent. On multiple occasions, Irving has stated he wants to stay in Brooklyn. However, it looks as if the Nets may not feel the same way about offering Irving a long-term deal. New York Daily News reports, “…The Nets’ championship hopes hinge on an amicable solution with Irving, whose personal decision not to get vaccinated and unpredictable injury h...

NFL‘s long-rumored paid streaming service NFL+, may just be arriving as soon as this July. The service is expected to give fans the opportunity to stream games and NFL content anywhere live on their phones and tablets. According to Sports Business Journal, the NFL streaming service will cost just $5 USD monthly, though it is possible that the pricing structure could change. The games fans will be able to stream on their phones and tablets will be restricted to those made available on local TV. Previously, these games were distributed on tablets and laptops via Yahoo, but the deals have since retired and it appears that the NFL is retaining these rights. It has also been reported that the league has been in talks with other media companies like Apple and Amazon about purchasing an equity st...

Colin Kaepernick hasn’t played a snap in the NFL since he began kneeling to protest racial injustice in the 2016 season. Neither has he been brought in for a workout by any of the 32 clubs in that span, despite his relative success. This week, the Las Vegas Raiders will change that as they host the former dual-threat quarterback for his first workout since being exiled. Having played at the University of Nevada, Reno, Kaepernick, 34, returns to the state of his alma mater to prove that he still has top-tier football left in him. In an episode of the I AM ATHLETE podcast, the former San Francisco 49er said: “You have ‘End Racism’ in the back of your end zone. You have ‘Black Lives Matter’ on your helmet. Everything I’ve said should be in alignment with what you’re saying publicly…It’s a $16...

Pepsi announced earlier this week that it will no longer sponsor the Super Bowl Halftime Show, ending a decade-long partnership. The company took to Twitter to announce, “After 10 years of iconic Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show performances, we have decided it’s time to pass the mic,” as well as showing gratitude to those who have performed during the years.  Pepsi’s contract with the NFL expired this season and while the company did renew its contract, it does not include the iconic halftime show. The previous deal was said to be worth $2 billion USD over the course of 10 years. Nevertheless, the renewal terms have yet to be disclosed. With a slight decrease in broadcast viewers, the company wants to shift towards putting more budget towards digital media.  The Super Bowl halftim...

Seattle and Las Vegas could be getting its own NBA teams in 2024. According to sports journalist John Canzano, the league is looking into expanding to the two cities in 2024 following the expiration of the NBA’s TV deal. An official statement from the NBA has not been released, but if the reports are true, Seattle could see the SuperSonics come home after the team was moved to Oklahoma City in 2008. Although Las Vegas has never had its own NBA team, the Seattle SuperSonics proved to be a favorite amongst the league’s fans. The franchise won the NBA Championship in 1979, three Western Conference titles in 1978, 1979 and 1996 and six division titles in 1979, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 2005. Stay tuned for more info.

Ahead of the 2021/22 Champions League final in Paris, adidas has unveiled the official match ball for the game. The design of the ball is deliberately pared back, with the white panels and silver stars framing a message for peace with the Cyrillic word “мир” — which can be translated as peace — sitting above the word “PEACE.” This design is a response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine earlier this year, and carries extra weight as the Russian city of St. Petersburg was the original host city for the Champions League final. Additionally, the ball represents a message of “peace, belonging, and hope” that will be passed from player to player during the match. Additionally, the ball will not be available for retail, although it will be auctioned immedately after the match, with proceeds being do...
