Samisoni Taukei’aho of the Chiefs charges forward during the Super Rugby Pacific Semi Final match between Chiefs and Brumbies at FMG Stadium Waikato, on June 17, 2023, in Hamilton, New Zealand. ACT Brumbies hooker Lachie Lonergan believes his team can make an early Super Rugby Pacific statement by rolling the powerhouse Chiefs this weekend. Against the side that ended their 2023 campaign in the semi-finals, the Brumbies are out to continue their rampaging start to the year after belting Melbourne 30-3 first-up. But the Chiefs, who ended last season as runners-up, are an entirely different proposition. They avenged their final defeat with a 33-29 win…
Vinales was suspended by Yamaha following last weekend’s Styrian GP for allegedly trying to deliberately blow up his bike’s engine. Maverick Vinales apologises to Yamaha following MotoGP suspension Since the announcement of his suspension and withdrawal from this weekend’s Austrian GP, both Yamaha and Vinales have remained tight-lipped on the matter. Speaking to Sky Italy on Saturday at the Red Bull Ring in his first media appearance since the announcement, Vinales says his behaviour was driven by a “big moment of frustration” for his form nosediving in the restarted Styrian race. Before it was red-flagged on lap three, Vinales was running well in the…
Tigers’ Casey Mize, former No. 1 draft pick, makes first pitching appearance since May 2022 after Tommy John Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize, the No. 1 pick in the 2018 draft, returned to the mound for the first time in 22 months Tuesday. Mize missed most of 2022 and all of 2023 with Tommy John surgery and also a back surgery. His spring debut Tuesday was his first appearance in a game of any kind since May 12, 2022. It’s early in spring training, so Mize’s outing was brief: 35 pitches across 1 2/3 innings against the Toronto Blue Jays (DET 6, TOR 4).…
The impact of the current investigations on the UNC Tar Heels football team is finally in front of Head Coach Butch Davis. As the press searched for players and made their findings, fourteen players remain in limbo with one more suspended indefinitely. This was not the year Davis had planned. Having UNC go from being ranked to unranked after a lopsided loss to LSU in the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff game was certainly not what ABC thought it would get when it scheduled this game. UNC and ABC could be big losers after the first quarter of the game, given the players who…
49ers GM John Lynch Sends Forceful Message to Brandon Aiyuk 49ers GM Sends Forceful Message to Brandon Aiyuk Despite ‘Challenges’ GM John Lynch said Tuesday he wants the 49ers’ Brandon Aiyuk to return to the team. John Lynch went to the podium during the NFL draft combine on Tuesday in Indianapolis and sent a strong message to the 49ers’ Brandon Aiyuk: We want you to stay put. That is most probably obvious, but what is less clear is whether Lynch and the 49ers can make that actually happen given the restraints on their salary structure. Also less clear: Whether Aiyuk wants to stay in…
As the North Carolina Tar Heels football program continues through fall camp, it received some bad news on Tuesday regarding its top wide receiver. Head coach Mack Brown told reporters the NCAA rejected Devontez Walker’s waiver for immediate eligibility. Walker received the news this week, and he is now ineligible after transferring to the Tar Heels this offseason. Walker began his career at NC Central but transferred to Kent State after the 2020 season was canceled. He spent two years at Kent State and had 58 catches for 921 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, earning first-team All-MAC honors. “I knew something was wrong,” UNC WR coach Lonnie Galloway…
