Beyond Mendoza, Simpson, what do NFL scouts think of the 2026 QB draft class?
If Fernando Mendoza is the lock of the draft and Ty Simpson remains the first round’s greatest mystery, the rest of the quarterback class could be in store for an unpredictable weekend.No, this has not been a top-billed QB class, so the later wave of prospects hasn’t generated much buzz, either. There are known names, for sure, such as Miami’s Carson Beck, LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier and Penn State’s Drew Allar, but their spotlights faded with performance woes.Advertisement

‘Pakistan don't have 190 strike-rate batters’: PSL coach’s candid admission
Former Pakistan all-rounder Azhar Mahmood defended Babar Azam, deeming it unfair to single him out for strike-rate issues in T20 cricket, arguing Pakistan lacks ultra-aggressive batters in the format. Mahmood emphasised that Babar sets the platform for others, and realistic expectations are needed, as the country doesn't possess consistently high-strike-rate players.
Anonymous NFL Draft intel: Fernando Mendoza better prospect than Cam Ward, Drake Maye?
The 2026 NFL Draft is not a stacked one. After two months of talks with more than two dozen NFL coaches and scouts, granted anonymity for their candor, the consensus is that we’ve got a bad draft for quarterbacks, a “not great” one for receivers and the worst draft for defensive tackles in at least a decade. The good news? For teams that need a safety, this is a terrific group. a.showcase-link-container { display: flex; gap: 20px; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; padding: 20px 0px; b...

Haaland vs Gabriel - Ripped shirt, butting heads and a decisive battle in the title showdown
“Can I say something?” Bernardo Silva, well-versed in doing everybody else’s job for them, interjected. “Erling was fantastic today, fighting for every ball,” he continued.Erling Haaland had, indeed, taken the fight to the Arsenal centre-backs. It was a performance that required him to run, scrap… and wait. All of which he did — he was towered over for headers and had the shirt torn off his back, but he scored the goal that handed Manchester City a victory that could be a springboard to an impro...

LIV from Mexico City, a golf league thrust into tumult
MEXICO CITY — A power outage, they said. Maybe so. But at this moment, I’m looking at a large, black, fire-breathing Día de Muertos-style skull with eyes that change color and a DJ inside its mouth pounding music as he overlooks a small body of water in front of the 18th green.A hundred yards away, at the first tee, more music is being played from a different speaker system. Bruno Mars and lively salsa music clash and compete — just as the artists intended. The power is indeed on, but the TV fee...
LeBron James is 41. And he’s somehow still carrying his team in the playoffs
The Lakers star would have been expecting to play a supporting role as he burrows into his 40s. But injuries means he has assumed a familiar roleLeBron James must be so sick of this. If he wanted to experience being the best player on an otherwise thin team, he could simply remember the Cleveland Cavaliers’ run to the NBA finals in 2007. Or the 2015 NBA finals when his best teammates, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, suffered injuries. Or the 2018 season, which convinced SNL to make a spoof of James...
