The winningest team in Italy is bringing back practically its entire squad from last season, but this time the players will be led by head coach Massimiliano Allegri, who’s back at the helm after a two-year hiatus. He will take over a team that is coming off a disappointing fourth-place finish, 13 points behind eventual champion Inter Milan. Many are predicting a tough season for cash-challenged champion Inter, which lost its coach (Antonio Conte) and was compelled to transfer its top scorer (Romelu Lukaku) and last season’s revelation (Achraf Hakimi) to balance the budget during the summer....

Last year’s Daytona 500 saw a shocking result, as 66-1 longshot Michael McDowell emerged from a final-lap wreck to earn the victory. It was his first win on the Cup Series circuit and provided bold bettors with a massive payout. It’s impossible to predict exactly how things will go in 2022, but there are plenty of top-tier contenders in the 40-car field. Five drivers have won the race before. Only one, Denny Hamlin, has won the race multiple times, but others like Ryan Blaney and Martin Truex Jr....

In the National League, Buck Showalter claimed his fourth award after leading the star-studded New York Mets to their first 100-win season since 1988.

This is the fourth time that Showalter has won the award, but only the first time he has won it in the National League....

Messi’s two goals, and Kylian Mbappe’s hat trick, were the huge post-match storylines in Lusail, but Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez was once again the hero for Lionel Scaloni. Martinez played a crucial role in Argentina’s march to the final with his experience providing a solid base for Scaloni’s charges in the Middle East. Messi clinched the Golden Ball award at the final whistle, but Martinez’s Golden Glove trophy was just reward for Argentina’s No....

Martin Truex Jr. led 248 of the race’s 293 laps as he drove to victory in the Goodyear 400. He captured his third win of the 2021 season — he’s the only multiple-race winner this year — and the 30th win of his career.

Chase Elliott dominated large chunks of the Go Bowling 235 on Sunday to extend his road course streak to three. He won Stage 1 before again jetting ahead of the field midway through Stage 3. He would have won by more than 10 seconds had Kyle Busch not caused a caution with six laps to go. Elliott held off Denny Hamlin after the restart and happily settled for a narrower victory than the blowout for which he had been on pace....

Finalists Aaron Gordon and Derrick Jones Jr. went back and forth through two rounds Saturday night, and matching scores forced the leapers into a dunk-off.

Unfortunately for Gordon, the judges awarded him a 47, and the United Center crowd loudly voiced its displeasure with Jones’ victory....

Older technologies like radio might seem quaint and out of date, but they still have many advantages over the internet. They are broadcast over the air, and all you need is a small, battery-powered box to pick them up, with no internet or data plan required. Radio’s range is much greater than that of Wi-Fi or cellular data, and while it can be jammed, that’s not practical on a country-wide scale....

Cast your eye around Europe and you get the impression that maybe Lionel Messi or Kevin De Bruyne or Dries Mertens or Thiago Alcantara or Neymar deserves that title more based on their form. CR7 15/8 to be CL top scorer Harry Kane, Robert Lewandowski or Edinson Cavani might claim it on their goals. But it’s Ronaldo; perhaps the only man who can claim to be “The Best” without actually being at his best....

The Alabama pitcher threw just the fifth perfect game in Women’s College World Series history, blanking UCLA 6-0. It was also the first perfecto in the Series in 21 years.
