https://ift.tt/MoAsav7 Inter trailing? Why PSG's lead is so special Inter is currently being thoroughly outplayed by PSG in the Champions League final and is already trailing 0-2.

Can the Nerazzurri fight back for the trophy, or has PSG simply cracked Inzaghi’s squad’s cheat code? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments!

Josh Berry explains violation that led to Nashville Fairgrounds Battle of Broadway disqualification

https://ift.tt/wMbnYR4 LEBANON – NASCAR Cup driver Josh Berry explained on May 31 the technical violation that led to his disqualification on May 29 in the second annual Rackley Roofing Battle of Broadway 150 at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. Berry was declared the unofficial winner of the JEGS/CRA Series race after finishing 15 car lengths ahead of Trey Craig. Berry is still in town preparing for the NASCAR Cup Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway on June 1. In post-race inspection Berry's No. 21 FatHead Ford was found to have exceeded the left-side weight allowance, which was 58.09%. "As cars naturally gain left-side weight as fuel burns off you have to leave yourself a buffer when you go through pre-race inspection and long story short, we were just a little too tight on the buffer pre-race," said Berry, a Hendersonville native who grew up racing Legends cars at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. "Obviously, it was really disappointing. I mean heartbr...

Here's who will pitch for Vanderbilt baseball in regional opener vs Wright State

https://ift.tt/pxU7YaE Vanderbilt baseball will pitch left-hander JD Thompson in its regional opener against Wright State, a program spokesperson confirmed to The Tennessean. Thompson has been the Commodores' Friday night starter all season. He is 5-5 with a 4.06 ERA in 15 starts this season with 110 strikeouts and 29 walks in 82 innings. He is the first Vanderbilt pitcher to surpass 100 strikeouts since 2021. In his most recent outing against Oklahoma in the SEC tournament, Thompson pitched five innings and allowed one run with 11 strikeouts. No. 1 seed Vanderbilt (42-16) will face Wright State (38-19) in the regional opener May 30 (5 p.m. CT, SEC Network). Many top-seeded teams do not pitch their ace in the regional opener, but Tim Corbin has always bucked that trend. In every regional that the Commodores have hosted under Corbin, they have pitched their No. 1 starter that season so long as that pitcher was healthy. Thompson also started the regional opener in 2024. He is ...

Raducanu 'not demotivated' by another heavy Swiatek defeat

https://ift.tt/drxVq5g Emma Raducanu has never won a set against five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek [Getty Images] Emma Raducanu says she is not feeling "demotivated" despite her miserable record against five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek continuing in a one-sided French Open defeat. The British number two was outclassed in a 6-1 6-2 second-round exit which means she has lost all five of her matches against the world number five. It was another reminder of the gulf that still exists between 41st-ranked Raducanu and the leading players on the WTA Tour. Raducanu, who has never won a set against Swiatek, says she feels the 23-year-old from Poland is "always fired up" when they meet. "It really puts a lot of pressure on from the beginning, makes me feel like I have to maybe do something extra or I just don't know what to do in the moment," Raducanu said. "I think it does shift the dynamics of the match a bit, and then it's v...

Aaron Rodgers, Kirk Cousins, Mason Rudolph or Will Howard? Who should start at QB for the Steelers?

https://ift.tt/nLP8Dwy Right now, the Pittsburgh Steelers options at quarterback are limited. The team brought back Mason Rudolph after one year in Tennessee. The Steelers signed Skylar Thompson as a free agent and used a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft on former Ohio State quarterback Will Howard. The Steelers also have veteran Aaron Rodgers out there in the ether waiting to make up his mind about his future. Rodgers keeps hinting at coming to the Steelers but nothing is certain. Oh, and there are also rumors that veteran Kirk Cousins, who is holding out of Atlanta Falcons OTAs might be a trade option. Yep, that's a lot of unpack. Between now and the start of training camp, we have no idea what is going to happen. Our best guess is Rodgers rides in on a white stallion at some point and graces the Steelers with his presence. But if not, Pittsburgh could go in any number of directions. The coaches and front office have said all the right things about Rudolph but this f...

Jack Draper completes best first round for Britain at French Open in 52 years

https://ift.tt/HonZJdc Draper’s superiority became clear as the match wore on - Getty Images/Adam Pretty Jack Draper rounded off a rare faultless day for British tennis at the French Open as he outmuscled the diminutive Mattia Bellucci – one of the smaller men in the draw at 5ft 9in tall – to record a four-set win. Draper’s win made it six out of seven for the British contingent in round one, and three out of three on Tuesday. How different to the dismal scenes we saw here a year ago, when all six entrants failed to register a win between them. This was not quite the best return of the Open era, but it came mighty close. In 1973, seven Britons reached the second round of Roland Garros, including Roger Taylor, John Lloyd, Mark Cox and Virginia Wade. What we haven’t seen before is such an even balance, with three men and three women still in the running. To return to Draper – the No 5 seed who clearly has the best chance to reach the later rounds – he is dealing with enormous exp...

Atlanta Falcons post-draft position preview: Tight end

https://ift.tt/a5eFzXv The Atlanta Falcons are still a few months from getting back on the football field, but they aren't likely to make any major moves before the 2025 NFL season rolls around. Despite making few changes on offense, the Falcons have enough weapons on that side of the ball to make some serious noise in the NFC this year. The team lost starting center Drew Dalman in free agency, but 10 of 11 offensive starters will return in 2025. The tight end position is largely unchanged. Former top-five pick Kyle Pitts will look to recapture the magic from his Pro Bowl rookie season with young Michael Penix Jr . throwing him the football. The Falcons brought in a few affordable free agents, including Arthur Smith's former pet project, QB/TE Feleipe Franks, to bolster the tight end room. So what should fans expect from this group in 2025? Check out Atlanta's post-draft tight end breakdown below, and make sure to read our other position breakdowns ( quarterback , r...

LPGA rookie Chisato Iwai laps the field at 2025 Mexico Riviera Maya Open for first win

https://ift.tt/YK94fUI The final round tee times were scheduled early at the 2025 Mexico Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba , and LPGA rookie Chisato Iwai hit the ground running at El Camaleon Golf Course in Playa del Carmen on Sunday. The 22-year-old LPGA rookie, playing in her eighth event of 2025, birdied the five of the first six holes and made the turn in 31. She birdied the par-3 10th to get to 12 under, ballooning her lead to six shots more than halfway through the last round. She later stretched it to seven shots and that made Sunday a stroll to the finish line. Iwai, one of the 21 rookies on tour in 2025 , shot a final-round 6-under 66, the low round of the week by two shots, to earn her first LPGA victory. A month ago, Iwai, 22, was hit with a two-shot, slow-play penalty in Utah and would go on to miss the Black Desert Championship cut by two shots. She rebounded the next week to contend at the Mizuho Americas. This week, Iwai, who opened with a 68, bounced back again, this ...

Former NBA champion isn't sold on likely No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg: 'I don't see it'

https://ift.tt/YK94fUI Player of the Year Cooper Flagg is the consensus No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA draft, though not everyone is convinced the All-American can be a franchise-changing player. Flagg led Duke to the Final Four, averaging 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks on 38.5% shooting from 3-point range. He became the 22nd player in program history to be named a consensus first-team All-American. The 18-year-old is considered a lock to be selected with the first pick by the Dallas Mavericks and projects as the next generational player the organization can build around. However, former NBA champion and 14-year veteran Tony Allen isn't so sure Flagg can be that. “I don’t think Cooper Flagg is going to turn your franchise around like that,” Allen said recently on GrindCityMedia . “I’m serious. I ain’t seeing (Kevin Durant). I'm just not seeing it. I'm seeing Andrei Kirilenko. He is going to be a one-time All-Star. I don't see it, bro...

Bengals accused of being stubborn with Hendrickson, Stewart contracts

https://ift.tt/sgu9JDR The Cincinnati Bengals have generated plenty of negative headlines and reactions due to the team's contract stalemates with one of the NFL's best defensive ends and their first-round pick this year. Both have unfolded for different reasons, with Trey Hendrickson wanting a big, multi-year pay bump after an All-Pro season . First-rounder Shemar Stewart isn't happy with whatever the Bengals are putting into the fine print on his contract . Both situations aren't great, with Bleacher Report's Moe Moton writing that the Bengals simply can't afford to be this stubborn: "Hendrickson has been vocal about the lack of communication between the Bengals and his camp on a new deal. Defensive end Sam Hubbard has retired. According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, rookie first-rounder Shemar Stewart hasn't joined the team because of a dispute over training camp bonuses. Cincinnati isn't in a position to be stubborn with its bes...

Twenty-two Mid-Hudson track and field athletes advance to 2025 NCAA regional meets

https://ift.tt/E1g47wX The Mid-Hudson will be well-represented at next week's NCAA Division I track and field regional meets, qualifiers for the national championships. Eight graduates from Section 9 schools and 14 Army athletes have qualified for the East and West regional meets, in Jacksonville, Fla., and College Station, Texas, respectively. Regional competition takes place from May 28-31. The lone entry at the West meet - and perhaps best opportunity for a local competitor to advance - is Cornwall graduate Karrie Baloga. The sophomore is seeded third in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. At the East meet, keep an eye on Warwick graduate Lily Beattie and Roosevelt grad Sarah Trainor. Beattie, a freshman at Mississippi, is seeded tenth in the pole vault (she is ranked No. 4 among all national freshmen). Trainor, a junior at Connecticut, is seeded No. 13 in the 3,000 steeplechase. Additional Section 9 graduates slated to compete are Amelia Benjamin of Ellenville (high jump); Vall...

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire: Eury Pérez, Nick Loftin & Parker Meadows

https://ift.tt/rXh1k6Z FANTASY BASEBALL WAIVER WIRE PICKUPS Eury Pérez (SP Marlins): Rostered in 30% of Yahoo leagues 97.6 mph. That’s what Pérez averaged with his fastball in his 19 big-league starts as a fantastically promising rookie with the Marlins in 2023. It’s also exactly what he averaged on the 30 fastballs he threw Thursday in his first Triple-A rehab start after three previous outings in A ball. Pérez, who had Tommy John surgery last April, struck out seven while allowing two runs in 3 1/3 innings. He got 13 whiffs on 28 swings in 61 pitches. The challenge for Pérez being a big-time mixed-league starter this season is that his workload will surely be monitored, and he’ll be pitching for a bad Marlins team that’s going to have a tough time protecting leads on those occasions when he does qualify for a victory. Still, he’s simply too talented to leave unrostered in mixed leagues. Pérez had a 3.15 ERA and a 29% strikeout rate while not even being old enough to drink in 202...

Allen guard named Boys Freshman of the Year

https://ift.tt/FiZKDov The Allen High School boys basketball team was playing its best basketball of the season during the playoffs. and so was freshman guard Landin Tenequer. The Mustangs’ lone playoff losses came at the hands of No. 3 Rattan, who later advanced to the Class A State semifinals. The Rams needed four overtimes to overcome Allen in a thrilling Class A Area Tournament contest. Tenequer averaged 18.6 points per game during Allen’s late playoff push and was named The Ada News All Area Boys Freshman of the Year. “As a freshman, I thought he played really well down the stretch,” Allen boys coach Greg Mills told The Ada News. “He really adapted to the style we play about the time the playoffs got here.” Tenequer scored 24 points in a regional tournament victory over Weleetka and followed that up with 23 points during the Mustangs’ first playoff loss to Rattan. He helped Allen to upset wins over No. 10 Velma-Alma and No. 7 Wright City to set up the classic rematch with the...
