Análise: Pedro e Arrascaeta reconduzem Flamengo à liderança em goleada irretocável que lembra melhores dias
O Maracanã viveu ontem uma destas tardes que fez a torcida do Flamengo se lembrar de que o time é um dos principais — senão o principal — favoritos da temporada. O 4 a 0 (fora o baile) sobre o Corinthians, pela 6ª rodada do Brasileirão, ainda traz certo alívio após a equipe de Filipe Luís oscilar nos últimos jogos. E, por fim, devolve o rubro-negro à liderança do campeonato, superando o Palmeiras, que perdeu para o Bahia por 1 a 0 em casa. Pedro, titular e cada vez melhor fisicamente, marcou duas vezes e foi o nome da goleada irretocável, fruto de uma avalanche ofensiva iniciada por Everton Cebolinha e Arrascaeta. Essa foi a primeira vez que o camisa 9 iniciou uma partida desde que voltou da grave lesão no joelho esquerdo. Substituído apenas aos 34 minutos do segundo […]

Damian Lillard injury: Bucks star feared to have torn Achilles in Game 4 vs. Pacers, per report
Getty Images MILWAUKEE -- A hush fell over Fiserv Forum in the middle of the first quarter of Game 4 between the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers on Sunday night. Damian Lillard, just back from a blood clot in his calf that had kept him sidelined for over a month, was sitting at the 3-point line, immobile and in disbelief. The nine-time All-Star was chasing an offensive rebound off a missed 3-pointer by Gary Trent Jr. when he suddenly collapsed and immediately reached for his left calf and Achilles tendon. At the next dead ball, Kyle Kuzma helped Lillard to his feet, but he couldn't put any weight on his left leg. Lillard hopped his way to the bench with the assistance of Doc Rivers and the team's medical staff, before leaning on Andre Jackson Jr. to make his way down […]

Mandatory Credit: Michael McLoone-Imagn Images Milwaukee Bucks star guard Damian Lillard exited Sunday night's home playoff game against the Indiana Pacers with a potentially serious lower left leg injury. Lillard was hurt while seeking a long offensive rebound and he fell to the floor while tapping the ball forward shortly before the midway point of the first quarter. He immediately grabbed for his lower left leg and was unable to get up. Milwaukee's Brook Lopez committed a foul with 5:57 left in the quarter to stop play and trainers then attended to Lillard. He eventually was helped off the court while […]
Jeff Ulbirch’s Kid Should Face Some Consequences for Shedeur Sanders Prank Call
Apr 19, 2025; Boulder, CO, USA; Former Colorado Buffaloes player Shedeur Sanders during his number retirement ceremony before the spring game at Folsom Field. Mandatory Credit: Isaiah J. Downing-Imagn Images Former Colorado superstar quarterback and NFL Draft survivor Shedeur Sanders had to deal with a pretty public prank call during his dramatic slide this weekend. Sanders, who was projected to be a mid-to-late first-round draft pick, fell into Day 2, where he still wasn’t selected. On Friday evening, during a livestream, Sanders was prank called in a viral video that was clipped and widely shared on social media. For whatever reason, the prank callers elected to share a video of their stunt online. It took internet sleuths all of five minutes to identify one of the individuals in the video as Jax Ulbrich, the 21-year-old son of Atlanta Falcons defensive […]
