Air Force linebacker Ryan Watson had agreed to the terms. He had signed and returned the contract. Two years ago, he thought he was joining the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted free agent. And then, suddenly, he wasn't.  Shortly after the 2017 NFL draft, the U.S. Department of Defense announced it was changing its rules and would no longer allow aspiring professional […]

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS is “raring to go” for a shot at Gilberto Ramirez’s WBO super-middleweight world title. Saunders, 29, thought he was facing Albanian Shefat Isufi for the WBO 168lb title after Ramirez moved up to light-heavyweight.

It was Cherono who came out on […]

Team USA won its fifth straight women’s world hockey championship on Sunday, but not without controversy.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – It’s a natural question to ask: What was more momentous, Tiger Woods’ first major victory at the 1997 Masters, or his latest at the 2019 Masters?

THOUSANDS of people were evacuated from their homes during wildfires in South Korea earlier this month and Son Heung-min has donated £100,000 to those affected. The player's home region of Gangwon, in the north-east of the country, was hit by a huge blaze believed to have been started by a spark at a transformer near Goseong County. An estimated 135 […]
