Luca Marini is enjoying the best moment of the Italian’s career with Honda, but he has now drawn the wrath of Dani Pedrosa for his recent comments seeking a rule change. The 28-year-old endured a miserable first year with Honda last term after he replaced Marc Marquez at the Japanese squad. Marini even continued to be a Steady Eddie at the start of the 2025 MotoGP season, as LCR pilot Johann Zarco often emerged as the top Honda rider. Yet since Marini’s big crash in May’s Suzuka 8 Hours test when he suffered a pneumothorax, the Urbino native has registered his best results aboard the RC213V to...

Webb Simpson has spoken glowingly about all of Keegan Bradley’s six Ryder Cup captain’s picks and singled out one man who he thinks could go unbeaten at Bethpage Black. Bradley surprisingly chose to leave himself off of the Ryder Cup team, in spite of having some really reliable vice-captains supporting him, Simpson included. The 39-year-old played sensationally well on the PGA Tour this season, but he clearly thought that it would be impossible to act as a playing captain at Bethpage Black. Bradley has received huge praise for not picking himself for the Ryder Cup team, and it was probably th...

The Green Bay Packers have gone all-in on the 2025 NFL season, trading for Dallas Cowboys star edge rusher Micah Parsons and making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league. By quite some distance, too. The Pittsburgh Steelers had elevated T.J. Watt to that position earlier in the offseason, but the Packers have trumped it by just over $4 million AAV.
