Lionel Messi and his pink clad Inter Miami teammates kicked off the 2024 MLS season Wednesday night and showed why they are the league’s main attraction, dazzling the Chase Stadium crowd with precision passing, juking defenders left and right, looking at times like a team in mid-season form as they beat Real Salt Lake 2-0. All the fans’ concern about Inter Miami players starting the season exhausted after a 24,000-mile five-nation preseason tour were put to rest. Messi looked fully fit and highly motivated as he ran hard for 90 minutes and eluded defenders time and time again, threading passes...

ORLANDO, Fla. — Mac McClung already has disproved the age-old stereotype that white men can’t jump, but now the multi-million-dollar question is whether a team will give the two-time Slam Dunk champ a chance to prove himself as a legit NBA player. McClung, a 6-foot-2 guard on Orlando’s G League affiliate in Osceola County, literally jumped over Shaquille O’Neal to complete a reverse jam to win the Slam Dunk Contest for the second consecutive year Saturday night during the NBA’s All-Star weekend in Indianapolis. His phone is ringing off the hook with marketing and interview opportunities, but M...

CLEARWATER, Fla. — It took seven years for David Buchanan to make it back to the Phillies, an odyssey that included stops in Japan and South Korea. He was gone for so long that everything, even the name of the spring-training ballpark, is different now. Well, everything except the occupant of the locker near the far door. “Aaron [Nola’s] still sitting right there,” Buchanan said Tuesday, “with the same number, doing the same thing. Just even better.” Indeed, Nola was there in 2015, alongside Buchanan in the starting rotation for the last two months of a 99-loss Phillies season. And after the 2...

The Senate Tuesday passed a $96 billion bipartisan aid package for Ukraine and Israel but House Republicans are digging in their heels to scuttle the bill. Themeasure passed by an overwhelming 70-29 vote with a healthy 22 Republicans supporting the desperately needed assistance for the staunch U.S. ally that has battled a Russian invasion for going on two years now. “With this bill, the Senate declares that American leadership will not waiver, will not falter, will not fail,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who worked closely with Republican Leader Mitch McConnell on the legislation...

Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami teammates head home from their grueling world tour after losing to Japanese league champion Vissel Kobe 4-3 in penalties following a 0-0 tie in Tokyo Wednesday. After sitting out the previous game in Hong Kong and playing just seven minutes in the second game in Saudi Arabia due to a hip injury, Messi played 30 minutes on Wednesday and seemed to be moving well. The team made a few dangerous approaches after he entered the game but could not finish. “After training Tuesday Leo said he felt good, and we made the decision he would play 30 minutes,” said Inter Miam...

LOS ANGELES — Are men being marginalized by the Grammy Awards? That is, at first glance, a preposterous question regarding an event that has been dominated by men for much of its seven-decade history. But Sunday's 66th edition of the annual music awards saw women artists score an historic sweep with wins for best new artist and record, song and album of the year. Those victories went, respectively, to best new artist winner Victoria Monet, record of the year winner Miley Cyrus (for "Flowers"), song of the year winner Billie Eilish (whose stirring ballad, "What Was I Made For" from the film "Ba...

Swifties spent all day Sunday waiting to see what Taylor Swift would wear on the Grammy Awards red carpet. The frenzy began early in the day when the profile pictures on her social media accounts turned black and white. Fans waiting to hear an announcement about her next re-release, “Reputation (Taylor’s Version),“ took it as the biggest clue yet that something was imminent. The original album cover is in black and white. And then she showed up on the red carpet, moments before the awards ceremony began, in black and white, giving off undisputed “Reputation” vibes. So much so, that one of E!’s...

A preseason game in Saudi Arabia hyped worldwide as a showdown between legends Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo turned into a nightmare for Inter Miami on Thursday. Messi spent the first 82 minutes of the match against Al Nassr on the bench as a precaution after he felt discomfort following Monday’s loss to Al Hilal. Inter Miami conceded three goals in the first 12 minutes and was humiliated 6-0 by the Saudi team. The Argentine star came in for a cameo in the 83rd minute after Saudi fans at Kingdom Arena spent much of the game chanting his name. But it was a lost cause for Miami long before ...

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, generation-defining rivals with contrasting styles and a combined 1.1 billion Instagram followers, were scheduled to face each other for the 38th time on Thursday when Inter Miami plays a preseason match against Al Nassr in the Riyadh Season Cup in Saudi Arabia. Alas, the matchup between the icons will not happen. The highly anticipated showdown was being billed as “The Last Dance,” as it could very well have been the final time the two met on the field. But fans, promoters, and Apple TV executives will not get their wish. Ronaldo will miss the game with a c...
