Fox News host Tucker Carlson welcomed LIV Golf CEO and commissioner Greg Norman onto Monday’s edition of “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”  After the tournament at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, Norman spoke with Carlson about what’s next for them and controversial topics surrounding the tour.  One of the conversations that Norman had with Carlson was over the tour’s backing from Saudi Arabia and whether sponsors would consider dropping golfers due to their participation in LIV Golf’s tournaments.  Norman quickly pointed to the PGA Tour as an organization that does business with Saudi Arabia, saying it would be hypocritical to see sponsors drop…

Identifying targets that can smash expectations in the middle and late rounds of fantasy drafts is one of the best ways to dominate a fantasy league. Last year, if a fantasy manager took Jaylen Waddle (WR12) in Round 9, they likely had the best WR3 or flex option in the league – which is an enormous advantage. Criteria: QUARTERBACK Trey Lance, San Francisco 49ers | Pick 98 | QB14 It will be difficult for Lance not to finish as a top-10 fantasy option at quarterback due to his rushing prowess. Since 2011, no quarterback with 750 or more rushing yards has…

Former Indian spinner Nilesh Kulkarni recalled an instance from his international career when he was a part of a wearing Test match against Sri Lanka in Colombo in August 1997. On this day (August 2) 24 years ago, it was the Test debut for a 25-year-old Kulkarni at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Ironically, Kulkarni picked the wicket of Sri Lanka opener Marvan Atapattu on the very first ball of his match. But, the Indian spinner went wicketless for the rest of the game, where he bowled a total of 70 overs. Nilesh Kulkarni’s agonising debut against a dominant Sri…

The decision to fight noted puncher Miguel Marriaga this Saturday speaks to Michael Conlan’s confidence, writes Elliot Worsell IT is customary following any big knockout loss for us to look for weaknesses or evidence of reticence in the knocked-out boxer as they attempt to resume his or her career. Often, their comeback fight will take place some time after, giving them space to fully recover, and often, too, it will be an easy fight against a beatable and light-hitting opponent. Yet, tellingly, in the case of Ireland’s Michael Conlan, a lot can already be deduced from the fact he has…

None of that is as important, though, as this, from Robinson’s ruling: The NFL, she wrote, had proved, “by a preponderance of the evidence, that Mr. Watson engaged in sexual assault (as defined by the NFL) against the four therapists identified in the Report.”Read that again. Watson was a repeat sexual assailant. That makes a six-game suspension mystifying and disheartening, as so much of the behavior by so many people involved in this case has been.Somewhat incredibly, considering she said Watson’s behavior was predatory and amounted to sexual assault, Robinson stressed that there was no violence involved in Watson’s assaults,…

BOSTON (AP) — Bill Russell never had to find his voice as an activist. He didn’t know any other way but to speak his mind. It’s what made the winningest athlete in team sports one of the greatest champions of activism. His belief in equality and the stances he took helped create a pathway that athletes today continue to walk in. Len Elmore, who played 10 seasons in the NBA and is a senior lecturer at Columbia University where he’s taught on athlete activism and social justice in sports, called Russell’s social contributions “immortal.” “He showed many of us in…
