data-mm-id=”_t016rwnl3″>LeBron James is the most famous basketball player of the century and everything about his profile supports that claim. LeBron suits up on the court every year but his outside interests are beginning to permeate pop culture with more regularity. He starred in Space Jam 2. He started up his own production company. He invested in the Fenway Sports Group to become a minority owner of the Boston Red Sox, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Liverpool FC. All this happened within the last five or so years. On Thursday, the news we all expected to come eventually appeared: LeBron James has become a billionaire. Per Forbes: After another monster year of earnings–totaling $121.2 million last year–Forbes estimates that James has officially become a billionaire, while still playin…
data-mm-id=”_s5zpo8jvc”>The 2023 ESPY Awards took place last night and since there was no host for the first time ever there were a variety of speeches given by various personalities. Pat McAfee was tasked with giving the opening monologue, which should not come as a surprise. He is built perfectly for something like this. Coupled with his status as ESPN's newest big-ticket hire and he was always going to get some screentime at the ESPYS this year. McAfee's speech touched upon Damar Hamlin, who was in attendance last night to present the Pat Tillman Award For Service to the Buffalo Bills' training staff. While telling the story of the night the staff saved Hamlin's night McAfee took a shot at Skip Bayless, to the great delight of the crowd. Damar Hamlin is an ABSOLU…
data-mm-id=”_p0q3t5flh”>The NFL's official bio on X is an homage to a Taylor Swift song. The league's Instagram bio points out that the Kansas City Chiefs are a perfect 2-0 in games the singer has attended. Those contest have come against the truly pathetic Chicago Bears at Arrowhead and the plucky but limited New York Jets across the river from the place Swift famously welcomed people and assured the city had been waiting for them. Swift's newish but intensely covered budding relationship with All-Pro tight end and podcaster Travis Kelce is the platonic ideal of when sports and pop culture merge. It's pure Americana and if given the afternoon to get baked, a person would be able to come up with a 5,000-word thinkpiece about her new era of bringing back the monocult…

data-mm-id=”_adpw4il79″>The New England Patriots entered a period of transition this offseason after parting ways with Bill Belichick and replacing him with Jerod Mayo. It was, and is, going to be difficult. Belichick's preferences and way of thinking has molded the organization for two decades. Everybody working for the Patriots has never known another way (no pun intended) of going about things. The adjustment is only made that much harder by the fact that the roster needed a complete facelift after a truly depressing 2023 season. In that regard, at least, New England had an advantage. They entered the 2024 offseason with $100 million to spend, the most in the entire league, and it was crystal clear what they needed– talent at receiver and on the offensive line, as well as some…

Here are five key questions for the week, where the answers will decide the result. 1. Do the Internationals have a chance?International…

Arsenal icon Ian Wright has leapt to the defence of Manchester United midfielder Casemiro after the Brazil international was slammed by Jamie Carragher.
Man Utd spent an initial fee of around £60m to sign Casemiro from Real Madrid during the 2022 summer transfer window.
This transfer came about after the Red Devils failed to tempt Netherlands international Frenkie de Jong to ditch FC Barcelona for a move to Old Trafford.
The Premier League giants were mocked after this signing was confirmed for spending such a significant fee to sign the 32-year-old. He enjoyed a strong debut season at Man Utd but his form has severely declined this term.
He needs to call it a day
Casemiro produced one of his worst performances for Man Utd on Monday night as he made …
According to reports, Bernardo Silva has decided to quit Manchester City as he s emerged as a top target for a European giant this summer.
On Sunday, clinched their fourth consecutive Premier League title and they could do the league and cup double *once again* this season as they face Man Utd in the FA Cup final this weekend.
Despite this, several Man City players are being linked with moves elsewhere ahead of the summer and is perhaps most likely to leave.
The 29-year-old has been a sensational signing for Man City as he s made over 350 appearances for the Premier League side since joining from Ligue Un outfit AS Monaco in 2017.
Silva started for Man City on the final day as they beat West Ham 3-1 at the Etihad to win the Premier League and his importa…
