New information has surfaced regarding Tom Brady‘s unretirement. In a recent article from The Boston Globe, Ben Volin reported that Brady initially did want to retire, but had much bigger plans in mind. Brady was slated to become a minority owner of the Miami Dolphins and was working on a deal to join the team’s front office. According to Volin, Brady’s role was said to be similar to Derek Jeter’s role with the Miami Marlins. The partnership would not have been surprising as the quarterback has had a longstanding relationship with the team owner, Stephen Ross. Ross was a large donor and booster and Brady’s alma mater, the University of Michigan. However, the grand plans were placed on a halt when Brian Flores filed a lawsuit the day Brady announced his retirement. The lawsuit called out NF...

The Los Angeles Lakers have officially fired Frank Vogel as head coach after a disappointing 33-49 season. Vogel was slated to be under contract until next season, but appears that the now-former head coach has been removed from the roster. On Monday night, Rob Pelink declined to comment on the moves made regarding Vogel stating, “Today is not going to be a day of finger-pointing and unwinding all the specific reasons. We just felt organizationally, at the highest level, it was time for a new voice…That’s not to say anything against the incredible accomplishments that Frank Vogel has had. He was a great coach here, and he’s going to go on to be a great coach somewhere else.” There is currently no rush to replace Vogel, though Pelinka mentions that their search will be “thorough and methodi...

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has officially claimed the 2021-22 NBA scoring title. The Cameroon-born professional basketball player won the title over fierce competition including Milwaukee Bucks‘ Giannis Antetokounmpo and Los Angeles Lakers‘ LeBron James. While James was Embiid’s greatest competition for the title, he was unable to qualify this year due to a sprained ankle that led to a few misses this season. Embiid has become the center to claim the scoring title since Shaquille O’Neal in 1999-2000. He is also the first international player to lead the NBA in scoring, setting yet another record this season. Embiid, who is an MVP candidate, is also center who has averaged more than 30 points in a season since Moses Malone held the record in 1981-82. One thing that is certain is ...

Within the NBA has cemented himself as one of the best ball-handlers and point guards in the league. However, earlier this season, when the organization unveiled its NBA 75 ranking, Irving was noticeably left off the list. Since the announcement, fans far and wide questioned why this was the case. In October, HYPEBEAST reported that the seven-time All-Star and NBA Champion was supposedly left off the list, despite being one of the best contenders for the list. Fans were quick to point out that online press material was already prepared to announce Irving as one of the top 75, leaving many to wonder why he was no longer appointed. For the first time since the list has been unveiled Irving finally spoke out about the issue, “I think I’ll leave it to the conspiracy theorists. I think I was on...

Despite the Los Angeles Lakers being eliminated from the 2021-22 NBA playoffs, LeBron James is still making headlines with many wondering if he will stay or leave the team. The defeat was brought on by a Phoenix Suns win, marking the second season since James joined the Lakers that his team has missed the playoffs. Currently, King James is eligible to sign a two-year $97 million USD contract that would ensure his stay with the Lakers until 2025. When the Lakers won the 2020 NBA Championships, James signed a two-year extension worth $85 million USD, taking him to the 2023 season. Recently, James has been especially vocal about wanting to play with his son Bronny. Earlier this year, James made it very clear that he intends to play his final NBA season with Bronny. While he has aspirations fo...

In a new clip for this week’s episode of The Shop, LeBron James revealed that he wants to play alongside his son, Bronny, and Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry. The Lakers staple first clarified that Bronny is number one on his list, and laughed that his son won’t be able to beat him. “Not too long ago, I asked him, ‘What you wanna do with this? Like, you wanna get to the pros? What you wanna do?’ He said, ‘Yeah.’ I said, ‘Why?’ He said, ‘Because I wanna make a name for myself,’” James shared. “I said, ‘Well, let’s f*cking get it. Let’s get it. That’s all I needed to hear.’” He continued to list out other players he wishes to share the court with, naming legends like Michael Jordan, the late Kobe Bryant, Scottie Pippen and Penny Hardaway, but noted Steph Curry as a current active...

While electronic coach-to-player communications devices stretch back to 1956 in pro football, Major League Baseball has yet to experiment with similar devices up until now. Due to a growing list of scandals related to sign stealing, in which signals and moves from the opposing team are illegally relayed, a new device, dubbed “PitchCom,” has been introduced, eliminating the need for hand signals. The PitchCom devices will be allowed for the catcher, pitcher, and three other players to help with fielder positioning. The catcher is given a special wrist wearable with nine buttons that correspond to different pitches and zone locations. When pressed, the buttons send encrypted voice messages to the team. In an interview, MLB Executive Theo Epstein expressed hopes that this technology will help...

The city of Toronto must decide whether or not it is willing to incur over $290 million USD in cost to host up to five games during the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup. Toronto is expected to spend more than $90 million USD to make the needed adjustments in order to bring the games to Canada. CP24 reports that the while the cost of hosting the games is $290 million USD, the provincial and federal government is also expected to pick up two-thirds of the tab. The amount is a large jump from the estimated $30 to $45 million USD initially provided by the staff report in 2018 when the city first expressed interest in hosting the World Cup. Though the cost is no easy number to swallow, the games are expected to bring in $307 million USD of GDP impact, creating around 3,300 jobs. It will also boost ...

With three games left in the regular season, the Lakers are removed from the play-in contention. James was absent from the game against the Suns due to an ankle injury. It was the fourth straight game King James has missed and many critics predicted that the Lakers would an even lower chance of making it into the playoffs without him. The game also marked the second consecutive year the Suns have ended the Lakers’ NBA season, while also celebrating its franchise record of 63 wins. In the post-game interview, head coach...

The jersey worn by Diego Maradona as he scored two of the most iconic and controversial goals of all time is to be auctioned at Sotheby’s. Playing against England in the 1986 World Cup, Maradona’s first goal was scored with his hand and later became known as the “Hand of God.” His second goal that day is often described as the greatest individual goal ever scored, and has earned the sobriquet the “Goal of the Century.” After the game, Maradona swapped shirts with England midfielder Steve Hodge, who has owned the jersey ever since. The shirt will soon be sold for the first time over, with bidding opening at Sotheby’s on April 20, while also being on display at Sotheby’s New Bond Street gallery in London. Announcing the auction, Hodge said: “I have been the proud owner of this item for over ...
