Why no Indian broadcaster wants the 2026 FIFA World Cup
With less than two months to go for the FIFA World Cup, India, China, and several Asian countries still lack an official broadcaster.

This poses challenges for FIFA’s outreach in the region, though a last-minute deal remains possible.
Your NHL team is the best! (At this one very specific stat from the 2025-26 season)
Everybody’s good at something. It’s just a case of figuring out what.Or at least, that’s how it was explained to me growing up. Granted, those explanations often came from coaches who were cutting me from the team, or concerned teachers whispering to my parents, or over the shoulder of horrified potential prom dates as they sprinted away from me. But the lesson stuck.Advertisement

Jalen Brunson leads Knicks as the NBA’s most improbable superstar
NEW YORK — A head-to-toe study of Jalen Brunson inspires a lot of questions, none more obvious than these two:How does he do it?How does a 6-foot-2 guard with a common man’s body and an old man’s game become an NBA superstar?You might recall that the Knicks hired his father, Rick Brunson, as an assistant in 2022 before hiring the former Mavericks guard himself. They tampered to get him, of course, and lost a 2025 second-round pick as punishment.Advertisement
