Jogadores do Botafogo comemoram gol marcado (Foto: Vítor Silva/Botafogo)O Campeonato Brasileiro tem uma pausa agora durante a Data Fifa, mas já volta daqui dez dias e a disputa pelo título segue ferrenha, principalmente por Flamengo, Cruzeiro e Palmeiras, os três primeiros colocados atualmente. Na opinião do ex-jogador Felipe Melo, a disputa deve seguir até o fim com esses três times, mas o Botafogo tem potencial e também pode entrar na briga. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADEEm vídeo publicado nas redes sociais, o comentarista do SporTV destacou que não consegue cravar quem será o campeão do Brasileirão 2025, pois “não tem uma bola de cristal”, mas que não acredita em grandes surpresas na disputa pelo troféu, a não ser o Fogão, que tem um time forte capaz de bater de frente com os três primeiros na tabela de classificação.“Acho que vai ficar entre esses […]
Kawhi Leonard contract drama, explained: Clippers, Steve Ballmer accused of $28 million NBA salary cap evasion
The Los Angeles Clippers have allegedly engaged in salary cap circumvention with star forward Kawhi Leonard, according to a bombshell Wednesday report from investigative journalist Pablo Torre. The story stems from a March 2025 bankruptcy filing of Aspiration, a sustainability company that received $50 million in funding from Clippers owner Steve Ballmer.Aspiration has since dealt with accusations of fraud, and co-founder Joseph Sanberg has since pleaded guilty to defrauding multiple investors. That filing included a list of creditors to whom Aspiration still owed money. Among them? KL2 Aspire LLC, a corporation that lists Kawhi Leonard as its manager.Those filings show that Aspiration still owes Leonard $7 million. Yet Torre did not find a single instance in which Leonard endorsed or even mentioned Aspiration, as one would expect in an endorsement arrangement. A number of other celebrities, including former Clippers coach Doc Rivers, […]

Felipe Melo ignora Pedro, do Flamengo, e crava João Pedro camisa 9 da seleção brasileira: “Hoje é o mais preparado”
João Pedro durante treino da seleção - FOTO: @rafaelribeirorio / CBFEm ascensão no Flamengo, Pedro ainda não convence Felipe Melo na seleção brasileira. Na avaliação do ex-volante, o camisa 9 estaria atrás, por exemplo, de outros dois centroavantes que atualmente figuram entre os principais para a posição: João Pedro e Kaio Jorge. Em sua análise, o jogador do Chelsea desponta como melhor opção para Carlo Ancelotti pela sequência adquirida no clube inglês. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADEIndagado por torcedores, o comentarista destacou o artilheiro do Brasileirão e imagina que ele possa futuramente ser a referência de gols do Brasil, mas se pudesse escolher na disputa entre os dois optaria pelo atleta dos Blues.“É um cara que ganhou a Copa do Mundo com o Chelsea, foi peça super importante, titular de um dos maiores clubes do mundo na atualidade, joga na Premier League.

"You know, in the past there's been talk about 'five-star this, five-star that.' I have been around plenty of five-star and four-star [players], it don't scare me. I have played competition higher than them, including Alabama and all that. ..."Going against a guy like Nico, there's no surprise, no excitement or nothing like that."Last week, UCLA was drubbed at home by former Pac-12 rival Utah, 43-10.
