Did you know? While Soccer, or Fútbol as its known across the globe, Cricket is 2nd in popularity with the worldwide audience. And while neither sport is part of the BIG 4 here in the United States, things will be coming to a head as all brands, even those outside sports, move to expand globally beyond their own borders. Can the NFL close the gap on Cricket in countries like India and elsewhere? Or will the "Old" game win out and even begin to triumph here in America? Let's dig into it!

MLB Insider Jon Heyman just dropped the hottest take of the year on MLB Now—“Thinking Man’s Show” (but apparently not today). According to Jon, Shohei Ohtani is officially baseball’s untouchable unicorn! 🦄So, your team’s players can get beaned by wild fastballs all day, but don’t you DARE even look at Ohtani sideways. MLB’s Golden Boy is off-limits! Want to retaliate? Sorry, that’s a one-way ticket to baseball jail. How dare you even THINK about it?Jon Heyman, ladies and gentlemen—giving us con...

Turns out, the Padres, Blue Jays, and Braves were all like 'hey, Rafael Devers, wanna hang out?' But what about the Cubs? Were they too busy sipping coffee and contemplating the meaning of life to notice this elite hitter was on the market? And then there's the Mariners...Like, what's the opposite of a home run? 😂 Major screw up! #seattlemariners #rafaeldevers #sfgiants #mlb #sleeplessinseattle

How will the Giants use their newly acquired superstar Lefty? Well turns out, Rafael Devers might be willing to play first base after all. Like we said weeks ago, he would do it for 29 other teams, but never the Red Sox, and right fully so. You won, Raffy! Congrats slugger. #sfgiants #rafaeldevers #bostonredsoxnews #mlb #nlwest #mccoveycove

Hold up, Dodgers fans! The Giants just pulled off a trade so sneaky, it's like they swiped Rafael Devers from under all of MLB's noses! Now, can they actually take down the big-spending, Ohtani-toting Hollywood squad? 🤣 #sfgiants #rafaeldevers #mlb #mlbtv #nlwest #nationalleague

Recently, Los Angeles Dodgers 3rd baseman said in an interview that he believes teams can only ever have one TRUE rival, and for the Dodgers, that will always be the Giants. Huh? We weren't buying this! Let's be real here, there's only two teams in the NL West who really dislike each other, and that's the Dodgers and the team to the South, the San Diego Padres. The Friars-Dodgers rivalry today feels like Da Bulls rivalries with the Detroit Pistons and the New York Knicks. Remember those great ma...

Breaking News: Rob Manfred is finally ready to bring some 21st-century tech to the game with ABS! 🚀 He's proposing an automated ball-strike challenge system for Opening Day 2026, because who doesn't love a good robot ump? 🤖 According to The Athletic's Evan Drellich, this isn't just a wild pitch - MLB's been testing it out in spring training and the minors. Fingers crossed it's a home run! ⚾️

Sunday Night Baseball is at it again, folks! They're like that one aunt who just can't resist interrupting you mid-sentence 🙄. This time, they snagged Chisholm for a mid-inning chat during the Yankees-Red Sox game, because what's a little distraction when you're trying to win, right? 🤣 And, shocker, it led to a throwing error! Yankees fans (and pretty much everyone else) are still face-palming over this genius move, except for Sports Illustrated's, Ryan Phillips, apparently 🤦♂️. Who needs fo...

Rumor alert! Could Lourdes Gurriel Jr. ditch the D-Backs for the Padres' Brown and Gold before the season wraps up? Honestly, the Padres are like 'left-fielder wanted, anyone will do' these days, but Lourdes? Would the Snakes really sell him to their arch-nemesis? That's a tough sell... or is it? 🤔

The Chicago Cubs have a legitimate Championship offense, and their bullpen has begun to take shape, even though they will most likely need another arm or two before its said and done. But everybody can see they need help in the rotation and could be poised to make a big splash at or before the trading deadline, depending on when other team decide to throw in the white towel on their entire season. One of those teams is the Arizona Diamondbacks, and one has to wonder what kind of blockbuster trad...

20 years after Eli Manning was all 'peace out, Chargers!' on Draft Day, a new book from ESPN's Seth Wickersham spills the tea on Caleb Williams' desperate attempts to Draft-dodge Da Bears in Chicago. Apparently, he's all about playing for Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell instead. Coincidence that ESPN's got the scoop and is also broadcasting the first Monday Night Football game of 2025 when (you guessed it) Da Bears face off against Minnesota at Soldier Field? 🤔😂

Today, we discuss Pete Rose's reinstatement to Major League Baseball via a new rule passed by Commissioner Rob Manfred which declares that any player given a Lifetime Banishment from Baseball is automatically reinstated when they pass away. The rule also affected the 1919 Chicago "Black Sox," in which 8 players were given the Lifetime Banishment, including "Shoeless" Joe Jackson. The whole situation leaves us asking, what about Jim Devlin and the other Louisville Grays.
