data-mm-id=”_1f6otvn87″>The metrics can evolve to become an advanced species, but the round-tripper is still the king of the baseball world. It's a binary event. Either something is a home run or it is decidedly not. In a world of gray and nuance, a ball's flight is judge, jury, and executioner. More times than not the carom off the bat is deemed insufficient of such marvel. There is nothing else like it in sports, where the defense tips their caps without moving a muscle to impede such a free trip through enemy territory. It's a classic bit in this American fabric, a blank canvas for symbolism among our more creative minds. The home run is mighty in force but quaint in the abstract. Mankind can go to space and go to every corner of the Internet and still the homer has …

data-mm-id=”_qubgwj0wm”>On Tuesday, Bari Weiss' publication, The Free Press, published an article from Ethan Strauss about twins Haley and Hanna Cavinder, the wildly popular college basketball players for Miami. To say it was controversial would be putting things mildly. Strauss spent time with the women and interviewed them for the article. The piece's thesis was that the twins were an example of everything wrong with NIL in women's sports, and that they've earned their money solely because of their looks. In response, they took to social media to blast Strauss and the article he produced. Hanna Cavinder posted to Twitter that they were mislead about the premise of the article and only agreed to do it because of the proposed idea. https://t.co/JLPU6Swa9i pic.twitte…

data-mm-id=”_z9jjrtcda”>It's been a weird night in New Jersey as all the A-list celebrities of the world watched Zach Wilson hang with Patrick Mahomes. After falling behind 17-0, the New York Jets found their rhythm and found themselves down 20-12 with 30 seconds left in the half. Facing a fourth-and-one at the Kansas City Chiefs' 34-yard line, Robert Saleh decided a field goal was in order and sent Greg Zuerlein out for a long-range attempt. His drive hugged the right side of the fairway the entire time before meeting a swift end against the upright, sending an unusually loud and satisfying doink throughout the stadium. Not a fan of the field goal decision and the doink makes it worse…#Jets playing very conservatively right now. pic.twitter.com/Z7fXJ4YjHU— JPAFootball (@…

data-mm-id=”_y6ghfwlrv”>The Philadelphia Eagles trailed the Dallas Cowboys 17-14 at the half on Sunday, and while that was worrisome, the bigger concern is Jalen Hurts' left knee. The Eagles' quarterback has been dealing with a knee issue he doesn't want to discuss, but he appeared to re-injure it on Sunday when he took a hit late in the second quarter. The injury came on a play that eventually went down as a sack for Micah Parsons, but it happened because DeMarcus Lawrence's helmet hit Hurts' knee.

data-mm-id=”_adz8a60f3″>Ron DeSantis had a press conference on Thursday to address … something woke, I'd imagine. During the press conference, one of the assembled media members asked the diminutive governor a question that mocked him for wearing lifts in his shoes. The assembled media chuckled and DeSantis even had to laugh at it. Journalist and screenwriter Corey Hill asked DeSantis to reconcile speaking out against gender-affirming care and people choosing their own identity when he wears lifts to choose his own height. It was a funny question. Here's video:My friend @NewsCHill just asked DeSantis how he can square his opposition to gender affirming care and people identifying with the gender of their choosing with his choice to wear heels to identify with the height of …

Erik ten Hag insists his players don t have a mentality problem after Manchester United survived an almighty scare to progress to the FA Cup final on penalties after Coventry fell agonisingly short of a sensational comeback win at Wembley.

Ten Hag’s team were three up and cruising through to the May 25 final after goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes put them on course for what at that stage looked a routine win.

But Mark Robins’ side, who are eighth in the second tier, roared back with a recovery that almost defied belief.

First, Ellis Simms converted a cross at the near post on 70 minutes to make it 3-1, then Callum O’Hare’s strike looped in off Aaron Wan-Bissaka to rattle United and spark a frantic finish that saw Haji Wright …

Man City striker Erling Haaland swatted away criticism from Man Utd legend Roy Keane with a four-goal haul in a 5-1 victory over Wolves on Saturday.
