¡The Chivas Women v Tuzas stat that will blow your mind! Whenever Chivas Femenil faces Pachuca, the atmosphere fills with a special feeling. Both sides have built a fierce rivalry throughout the history of the women’s league, to the point of becoming one of the most evenly matched in the division, although the Rebaño has the edge thanks to the two titles it won against the Hidalgo side. Beyond that, there’s one fact that makes a matchup between Guadalajara and the Tuzas even more appealing: never in their history have they played to a scoreless draw. That’s right, Chivahermanos —meetings between these two teams guarantee plenty of goals. In 22 matchups, not a single result has ended goalless, a rather unusual stat in the Women’s League. From the Apertura 2017 Final to the most recent meeting in the CL26 Quarterfinals, every single clash between the rojiblancas and the Hidalgo side has seen at least one goal scored over the 90 minutes. In fact, of the 4 draws in this rivalry, only o...

Robinson & Tongue give Root an ideal start to England's new era

First Rothesay Test, Headingley (day one of five) Pakistan 171 all out: Shafique 61; Tongue 5-46, Robinson 5-51 England 112-2: Root 37*, Gay 33; Abbas 1-34 England are 59 runs behind Scorecard Ollie Robinson and Josh Tongue each took five wickets to give Joe Root the ideal start to his second spell as England captain as Pakistan were skittled for 171 on the opening day of the series at Headingley. Returning four years after his first stint as skipper left him and his team broken, Root's leadership was barely tested thanks to the excellence of his bowlers and fragility of the Pakistan batting. Root won the toss, pounced on the opportunity to bowl first and Robinson set the tone by pinning Azan Awais leg before with the first ball of the match. Robinson expertly exploited the movement on offer, relentlessly hitting a full length for his 5-51. Tongue took longer to warm to his task but when he also found the correct length, he was also too much for Pakistan to handle. Tongue's 5-4...

ESPN’s tribute to founder Bill Rasmussen abruptly cut off by ‘Pat McAfee Show’ intro

-
Image
Credit: ESPN “I know writers who use subtext, and they’re all cowards, every one of them,” is an infamously memed quote from fictional horror author Garth Marenghi. Perhaps Marenghi is moonlighting as the guy who hits the button at ESPN to transition from one show feed to the next, because you couldn’t possibly have created a more apt metaphor if you tried during the shift from First Take to The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday. Bill Rasmussen, the entrepreneur who conceived the 24-hour cable sports network ESPN, died on Tuesday at age 93 . It’s not hyperbole to say that he had an enormous role in changing the way America consumes sports, and the network he and his son concocted while stuck in traffic traveling to the Jersey Shore is now not only a global brand but is on the precipice of airing its first Super Bowl, something wholly unthinkable when it started in 1979. Naturally, ESPN paid tribute to its founder on Tuesday , with statements from executives such as chairman Jimmy Pitaro an...

-
In less than two weeks, the North Carolina Tar Heels play football, facing TCU in a rematch of the 2025 season-opener for both teams . UNC will battle the Horned Frogs on Saturday, August 29 at 12 p.m. in Dublin, Ireland for the Aer Lingus College Football Classic. North Carolina enters its 2026 opener with another new-look roster, one head coach Bill Belichick is more confident in , while TCU returns its top rusher and a few defensive standouts. One particular expected Tar Heel starter, sophomore running back Demon June , is extremely confident ahead of the fall. The reasoning behind his confidence? New offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino . “My confidence is through the roof,” June said on Friday via On3 Sports' Jack Morris . "We’re gonna run at you,” June explained. “We’re not gonna go side to side, and we’re not trying to be fancy with it. Just get downhill and play tough. Knowing the areas I needed to improve in going into the offseason, helped me add fuel to the fire jus...

Since 2012, the Buckeyes have gone 165-21, won nearly 89% of their games and never lost more than two games in a season.

LONDON, ENGLAND - APRIL 11: Tyson Fury exchanges words with Anthony Joshua after his fight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 11, 2026 in London, England. (Photo by Mark Robinson/Getty Images) | Getty Images Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua has been one of the biggest fights possible in the world of boxing for years now, but has somehow never come to fruition. Even now, years past it’s best before date, the fight struggles to get across the finish line. Even with Saudi boxing power broker Turki Alalshikh pushing to make it a reality, there’s still a very good chance the fight falls apart. Zuffa Boxing head Dana White’s participation in the fight has been controversial from the start. Anthony Joshua’s contract has a provision in it specifically barring White from promoting the fight. It also has a provision stating the fight must take place in the UK. Both those terms are being ignored by Alalshikh, who is looking to promote the fight under Zuffa’s banner in New York City. Asked ab...

Lakers hit with brutal sign and trade update for ex-Warriors NBA champion Jonathan Kuminga originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The Los Angeles Lakers have been in full pursuit of Jonathan Kuminga since LeBron James informed the team that he would not be returning. It has been an interesting summer for the Lakers, to say the least. Los Angeles has been trying to create enough financial flexibility to bring in Kuminga but has yet to find a way to make it happen. At the very least, the Lakers have already made an offer to the NBA champion. “The Lakers have offered Jonathan Kuminga a contract via sign-and-trade that would pay him around $45 million. Los Angeles is willing to send Jarred Vanderbilt alongside draft capital to the Hawks for Kuminga, who must sign at least a three-year deal in sign-and-trade agreements," NBA reporter Evan Sidery wrote. However, the Cleveland Cavaliers are also pursui...
