Report: Sierra Leone Out Of Saudi Cup With Hoof Abscess
Sierra Leone will not have his first start of 2025 in the Dubai World Cup, either, Brown said, because he doesn't want to run the colt 1 1/4 miles in his first start of the season. Instead, Brown suggested that the Oaklawn Handicap on April 19 might be a good starting point.Voted Champion 3-Year-Old of 2024, the son of Gun Runner won the G2 Risen Star and G1 Blue Grass en route to a contentious third-place finish in the Kentucky Derby. Sierra Leone also ran third in the G1 Belmont Stakes, then placed second in the G2 Jim Dandy and third in the G1 Travers before his late-running triumph in the Breeders' Cup Classic.Overall, Sierra Leone has a record of 4-3-2 from nine starts for earnings of over $6 million.Read more at the Thoroughbred Daily News.

Is LeBron James's reported international league legit - or just a ploy for NBA ownership?
Yahoo Sports senior NBA reporter Vincent Goodwill is joined by SNY's Ian Begley to discuss the report that the Lakers superstar met with Nikola Jokic's agent about potentially launching an international professional league -- and what's the real motive behind the move. Hear the full conversation on 'Good Word with Goodwill' and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript The internet was abuzz with LeBron James, Maverick Carter, his business partner, and Nikola Jokic's agent on a boat, sipping wine somewhere, throwing off his sports, those people over there, and my friend Nick Wright. He's very close with LeBron and his people and mentioned that conversation was about an international basketball league, almost similar to LIV Golf with the Saudis and their money. I don't think this is going to be Saudi money, but just an alternative basketball league. They're planning on it being six men's teams. Six women's teams. Full-time responsibility for players, which means you cannot play in the NBA and play in this international basketball league. Players can get equity. Do you see this as, let's just say, a leverage ploy for a guy like LeBron because we know LeBron wants to get in on NBA expansion and NBA ownership, or is this a viable alternative to poach real-time NBA talent? Yeah, I think more so the former because we know he wants to own a team. They've been vocal about that. They haven't been operating in the shadows. They've been very public with that. And so, um, if that's the goal. Then the other league funding this other, getting involved in this other league doesn't make a lot of sense, unless you're trying to tamp down what you might have to pay to get in the NBA and using this as kind of, something to say, hey, Adam Silver, we've got the guys together, we have the money together. We could do this, you need to figure something out for us on the other end. So maybe its that you look at valuations and the sales of these teams and Celtics and Lakers, and I can only imagine how high that number is, to get into Seattle or get into Vegas, expanding into these new cities. It's going to be an astronomical figure. So, LeBron, part of, I believe, Fenway Sports Group, would have to put together a significant amount of money to get in. Maybe that's the factor here that that is kind of behind the scenes that, we're not really thinking about reporting on, but maybe that's what's there ultimately. Close

Eagles OC calls A.J. Brown a 1-on-1 machine while declaring him the best WR in the NFL
During a sitdown with John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Kevin Patullo called A.J. Brown a one-on-one machine while breaking down what makes him the best wide receiver in the NFL The Eagles have a new offensive coordinator in Kevin Patullo and the first year play caller can't stop raving about his star wide receivers. During a sitdown on the Takeoff with John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Patullo called A.J. Brown a one-on-one machine while breaking down what makes him the best wide receiver in the NFL. Agree? I do agree. I mean, it's how could you not write the guys a one on one machine? And it's been fantastic. He made so many big plays for us over the years. And more than that, not only he's a great player, he's a great person. We have a great relationship him and I. We go back and forth on a lot of stuff and you know, we've had a lot of meetings where we can just talk to each other and he can take coaching and I'm very receptive to his ideas. And I think just when you connect with somebody on an emotional level too, that you can really see not only he's a great player, but he's a great person and what he wants to do for this team. So it makes him even more of an elite player. In his three seasons with the Eagles, Brown has played in and started 47 of a possible 51 games, recording 261 catches for 4,031 yards and 25 touchdowns, with an average of 15.6 yards per catch. Brown has earned three All-Pros during his tenure with the Eagles. According to PFF, Brown earned the highest receiving grade versus single coverage in 2024 (96.6) and leads the league in that category over the past three seasons (2022–24) with a 97.0 grade. He can win in every way, against any defense.

Kwame Brown Rips "Stupid M****rf***er" Gilbert Arenas After Federal Arrest Over Illegal Gambling Business Allegations
Kwame Brown Rips "Stupid M****rf***er" Gilbert Arenas After Federal Arrest Over Illegal Gambling Business Allegations originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Gilbert Arenas broke the internet after his federal agents arrested him for allegedly running an illegal gambling business at his mansion in Encino, LA. The former NBA star, alongside five other defendants, including a person suspected of being a high-ranking member of an Israeli transnational crime group, was arrested on Wednesday, July 30, by the Justice Department following a federal indictment. Kwame Brown, Arenas' former teammate with the Wizards, found this as a reason to celebrate and expressed his opinion on the arrest and the aftermath. He first called out Gilbert Arenas for talking about him and his family before he ripped into the former NBA star on a live stream. 'I told people one thing, I said, 'this n**** is a stupid mother*****, he's going to self-sabotage. He's a dummy. And look at this stupid mother****,' said Brown in a celebratory mood. He also called out Shannon Sharpe, who parted ways with ESPN on the same day as Arenas' arrest. 'Today is like my mother***ing birthday…. B***h, you said I was drunk, I don't even drink… I feel so good… Shannon Sharpe, your big talking-a** fired. All them mother****ers that talk about my momma's son. Shannon Sharpe, your thick tongue a** fired. God damn, Gil, you're in the slammer.' 'You're facing fifteen years, five years on each charge, right? But your dumba** was playing cards with the Israeli Mob. So now you're going to have to make a decision. You can't snitch, because your dumba** said you're 'No Chill Gil' so you can't chill. You've got to fight this one out.' 'Your bi***a** can't tell on them Israelis, them mother****ers got so much money,' warned Brown, hinting at potentially bad consequences for snitches. So Brown seemed to be content in thinking Arenas is going to have to spend 15 years in prison if found guilty of all three charges. Arenas is charged with one count of conspiracy to operate an illegal gambling business, one count of operating an illegal gambling business, and one count of making false statements to federal investigators. At his arraignment, he pleaded "not guilty" to all charges as a trial date was set for late September. Brown did not stop there; he went on to accuse Arenas of also ruining Nick Young, a.k.a. Swaggy P's career. Brown claims Nick Young became the collateral damage to Gilbert Arenas' actions multiple times in his career. 'You f***ed up Swaggy P's career the first time. Swaggy P could've been a better basketball player than you. You were a dumba** veteran, and you f***ed up Swaggy P's career. Now you've done f***ed up Swaggy P's second career. Swaggy P is one of the funniest n****s on the show; he's crazy, almost got in a fight with Kenyon. Now ain't no more Swaggy P.' Kwame Brown and Gilbert Arenas never had a harmonious relationship despite being teammates from 2003 to 2005. Their feud became public to the point that they both admitted they do not like each other at all, and Brown even accused Arenas of ruining his career with the Wizards. Now, Brown seems to be having the last laugh as Arenas faces criminal charges that could see him go to prison for multiple story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jul 31, 2025, where it first appeared.
