In June of 2018, just days after finishing seventh grade, Dante Moore attended a one-day University of Michigan football camp that is usually reserved for high school prospects. He had been invited by coach Jim Harbaugh, who’d heard of his prodigious talent. Dante’s father, Otha, told the Detroit Free Press at the time that he was surprised but thrilled at the request. He was a lifelong Detroiter and, as his son would declare, a “die-hard Michigan fan.” So die-hard, in fact, that Otha… Source link

(Bloomberg) — SoftBank Group Corp. founder Masayoshi Son is used to praise and encouragement from shareholders. But the company’s loss of $34 billion in market value over the last year is a test for even his most faithful admirers when they gather for the annual shareholders’ meeting on Friday. Most Read from Bloomberg Investors stuck by Son when SoftBank announced a holding company strategy in 2015 to hive out its staid but profitable domestic telecom business to become the world’s… Source link

Wineland (24-16-1 MMA, 6-10 UFC) suffered a third consecutive first-round stoppage defeat and dropped his fifth fight in his past six outings Saturday when Stamann (20-5-1 MMA, 6-4-1 UFC) blitzed him for a quick finish in their bantamweight matchup at Moody Center in Austin, Texas.

Jimmy Butler took a questionable shot on Sunday with a trip to the NBA Finals at stake. He missed. The Miami Heat lost. The Boston Celtics instead advanced to play for an NBA championship. For this, Butler has no regrets. Butler pulls up for 3 with NBA Finals on the line In a familiar refrain throughout the postseason and since he joined Miami in 2019, Butler carried the Heat on his back as they clawed their way back into Game 7 before ultimately falling short. There’s no other player Heat fans… Source link

(Bloomberg) — A few brave souls in the investing world are starting to move back into bonds to ride out an oncoming economic storm. Most Read from Bloomberg While debt bulls on Wall Street have been crushed all year, market sentiment has shifted markedly over the past week from inflation fears to growth.

Rose Namajunas lost her women’s strawweight title in the UFC 274 co-main event rematch against former champion Carla Esparza on Saturday. The fight was largely uneventful. Spectators inside the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Ariz. could be heard booing during the pay-per-view broadcast. The bout was difficult to score because so little occurred, especially in the first three rounds. The judges scored the fight for Esparza by split decision giving her two title-fight wins over Namajunas. It was… Source link

Please don’t attribute what happened to Canelo Alvarez in the ring at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday at the hands of Dmitry Bivol to Bivol’s advantage in size. That would be wrong. Size didn’t have an impact on this fight. Bivol retained his WBA light heavyweight title because, on this night at least, he was the better man. He outboxed Alvarez. He outthought him. He out-hustled him. Bivol didn’t impose his will on a smaller man. He didn’t physically manhandle Alvarez or bully him around… Source link

LAS VEGAS — Were it not for the low point of his career, the moment when he learned just how much he didn’t know, Canelo Alvarez may not be the same boxer he has become since losing to Floyd Mayweather in 2013. Alvarez was 23 years old on Sept. 14, 2013, an undefeated champion overflowing with confidence. He spoke next-to-no English in those days, but he didn’t need to say a word to express himself. His body language said it all. He was a super talented, impeccably trained young man who… Source link

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic had a big game Tuesday, but it wasn’t enough to lead his team to a win over the Phoenix Suns. Doncic let his frustrations boil over during the contest, confronting a fan who heckled Doncic with “reckless” language. The incident occurred at halftime. As Doncic was walking to the Mavericks’ locker room, he stopped to confront a fan wearing a Devin Booker jersey. Doncic was clearly upset, but did not get too heated. Team officials immediately stepped in to hold… Source link
