Flavio Prado faz cobrança após Palmeiras x SPFC no Brasileirão: “Imperdoável”
Palmeiras e São Paulo, em jogo do Brasileirão (Cesar Greco/Palmeiras) Flavio Prado não quis poupar críticas após o clássico entre Palmeiras e São Paulo. Insatisfeito com o futebol praticado na Arena Barueri, o comunicador vê o duelo longe do patamar ideal, algo refletido por outro placar magro. Neste cenário, diante dos elencos milionários, houve uma cobrança por jogos mais atrativos e que valorizem o Brasileirão. “Pode ter certeza que o Choque-Rei é um jogo ruim hoje. Pelos últimos 10-12 jogos, todos são ruins e de um nível muito baixo. Eu acho que há um certo comodismo dos jogadores e temos que cobrar porque são elencos caríssimos, mas que fazem espetáculos medíocres.”, disse Flavio Prado, no Canelada, da Jovem Pan. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “O jogo de hoje foi medíocre e deu m nível baixíssimo. O Palmeiras arriscou muito pouco dentro daquilo que […]
No sweat: Kyle Larson dominates Kansas as he pivots to Indy 500 ride
Bob Pockrass FOX Motorsports Insider <!--> KANSAS CITY, Kan. — It would be easy to declare Kyle Larson as one of racing’s greatest talents and that is why he will roll into Indianapolis Motor Speedway as the NASCAR Cup Series points leader looking to compete in the Indianapolis 500 (Sunday, May 25, noon ET on FOX).He’ll even race a sprint car Monday night in Kokomo, Ind., before going 230 miles an hour Tuesday in preparation for the sport’s biggest race.But it’s not just talent that has allowed Larson to achieve such heights.In the last 18 days, Larson has wrecked his Indy 500 car, won sprint-car races, nearly had another sprint car land in his lap, won an Xfinity Series race, and finished second and fourth in Cup races before dominating the Cup field Sunday at Kansas Speedway for his third […]
2025 PGA Championship odds, picks: Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler predictions from top Masters-winning model
Imagn Images Quail Hollow Club in North Carolina will host the 2025 PGA Championship. It annually hosts the Wells Fargo Championship, now known as the Truist Open, so looking at past winners of that event could result in optimal 2025 PGA Championship bets. Max Homa, Wyndham Clark and Jason Day have won the Wells Fargo in recent years, but no one comes close to the success at the tournament quite like Masters winner Rory McIlroy. The newest Grand Slam champion has four victories at Quail Hollow, including last year. He also has the most wins (three) of any golfer on the PGA Tour this year, so he could be one of the popular 2025 PGA Championship picks and is +500 in the 2025 PGA Championship odds. Before locking in your 2025 PGA Championship picks or entering any PGA DFS tournaments […]
Dodger Details: Tony Gonsolin’s new gear, Roki Sasaki’s fastball and more
PHOENIX — Tony Gonsolin has learned he has something in reserve. The Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander’s 84th and final pitch was the second-hardest one he would throw on Sunday, a 95.7 mph fastball. The only one faster (95.9) came an inning earlier in the fourth against the Arizona Diamondbacks, when he tried to blow strike three past outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. The velocity is back.AdvertisementGonsolin has shown an ability post-surgery to keep something back for big spots. Just look at his last start on Tuesday against the Miami Marlins, when he reared back for 96.8 mph with two strikes against Ronny Simon, and 96 mph a pitch later. It was his hardest pitch since 2020. In the first inning of that start, he reared back for 95 to retire Kyle Stowers.That’s a big jump when Gonsolin needs it. For contrast, […]
