Tiger Woods is ready to make history at Augusta, Georgia with his attempt for a sixth Green jacket. Woods, aged 46, was thought to be out of the majors after a scary car accident back in February 2021. Suffering a fractured tibia and fibula and a shattered ankle, many golf fans feared it was the end for the 15-time major champion in terms of competing. The signs were all there last week as golfers commented on his game with, “ball speed, club head speed, it’s all there, it’s all back.” Woods also drew attention when he showed up to the Augusta Nationals wearing black FootJoys, sparking rumors that his long-time partnership with Nike was over — that has since been dispelled by Woods. In a press conference, Woods appeared hopeful confirming his entry into the tournament as well as commenting...

Over the weekend, NBA and Los Angeles Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar publicly criticized LeBron James for some of his actions. Abdul-Jabbar seems to believe that James should be more responsible in the way that he conducts himself due to his influence. Before the Lakers’ faced off against Denver Nuggets, Abdul-Jabbar commented on some of James’ actions in the past. He voiced his opinion stating, “Some of the things he’s done and said are really beneath him, as far as I can see, “Some of the great things that he’s done, he’s standing on both sides of the fence almost, you know? It makes it hard for me to accept that when he’s committed himself to a different take on everything. It’s hard to figure out where he’s standing. You’ve got to check him out every time.” In the past, the now-reti...

While LeBron James is undoubtedly one of the best players in the NBA, his current team, the Los Angeles Lakers, have proved to be disappointing all season long. The purple and gold team have recently fallen out of the play-in tournament after its most recent loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. A Reddit user by the handle BoomBoomSpaceRocket has pointed out that the subpar Lakers have caused James to add one more record to his belt. This marks the first season a King James-led tem has held a negative record since his rookie season. During his first year in the league, James had a 33-46 record when he played, but this season he holds a 31-35. The Lakers currently have a 31-47 record. BoomBoomSpaceRocket writes, “As you can see, even in his rocky first year as a Laker where the team finished 8 ...

The beers were flowing and the Stunners were aplenty at last night’s epic WWE WrestleMania 38 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington. On top of the SmackDown Women’s title match with Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair, and the surprising Tag Team match between The Mysterios and Logan Paul/The Miz, fans were eager to see the Texas Rattlesnake return to his home state of Texas after 19 years. Called out by Kevin Owens earlier last month, the No Holds Barred Match was pure vintage Stone Cold as he arrived at the stage in his ATV. In the action-packed back-and-forth, which went from ring, ramp, stands, and back again, we saw the two dish it out in full force with Owens even dropping a Stunner on 3:16 before receiving one of his own. One of the most exciting and nostalgic WrestleMania in recent tim...

With qualifying for the 2022 World Cup almost complete, adidas has now revealed the official match ball that will be used at the tournament. Titled “Al Rihla,” the ball takes its name from the Arabic word for “the journey” and is inspired by the architecture, boats, and flag of host nation Qatar. The ball itself has been created following a series of tests in labs, wind tunnels and on pitches, with a focus on accuracy and reliability.

Continuing the journey theme, the ball will now visit 10 cities across the world, with adidas launching a series of initiatives in each city, all of ...
