He began boxing in 1985 and last fought at age 53 in 2018, racking up 74 fights. But despite facing some of the biggest punchers in heavyweight history, McCall has never been knocked down, let alone out.…

NFL legend Jerry Rice says he is starting to weigh getting into coaching thanks to his longtime rival and short-time teammate Deion Sanders, according to a report. Since being hired as head coach of Jackson State in Mississippi in 2020, Sanders has been making waves in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). Last year, Jackson State achieved its first 11-win season, and the team won its first conference championship since 2007.

By Joe Guzzardi Major League Baseball’s player lockout had no sooner begun than commissioner Rob Manfred sent a letter to fans attempting to assuage ire about the possibility of another partial season – the sixth in 50 years – or even no season at all. Fans can read through Manfred’s letter, but cutting through its tedious gobbledygook, the bottom line is that the billionaire owners, who preside over a multibillion-dollar industry, want to keep as much of their fortune as possible. The players, many of them already multi-millionaires, want to earn oodles more even sooner. MLB has at least ten…
The world’s top golfers are prepped for the Farmers Insurance Open, with a field of competitors that rivals any major tournament. While the sport’s biggest names aim for targets at the Torrey Pines Golf Course, my focus next week is on Ryan Alford.
