The NFL will host its first-ever regular season game in Paris, France, during the 2026 season, adding more countries to its international slate.

The New Orleans Saints have been named as the participating “home” team against the Cleveland Browns at the Stade de France, the country’s national stadium.

“Bringing a regular season game to Paris in 2026 marks an exciting next step in the continued expansion of the league’s global footprint,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. “Paris is one of the world’s greatest sporting and cultural cities with tremendous success in hosting global events.”  

“Playing our first‑ever regular season game at the impressive Stade de France, together with the New Orleans Saints, underlines our continued global growth ambitions and we look forward to bringing the NFL to our passionate fans in France.”

The NFL has confirmed eight international games in 2026, which also includes one in Melbourne, Australia; one in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil; one in Munich, Germany; three in London, England and one in Madrid, Spain.

The Mets kept the good train rolling on Sunday afternoon, as they finished off the series sweep of the Miami Marlins by a score of 10-1. The Mets, now winners of four straight ball games, sit at 26-33, six games out of a Wild Card spot.

The Mets offense was the star of the show today, as they scored ten runs vs Miami, who had to pivot to a bullpen game due to expected starter Janson Junk’s surprise trip to the injured list this morning. They treated opener John King rudely, as Carson Benge greeted him with his first career lead off home run. The offense did a great job of keeping up the pressure, as they scored runs in four different innings.

The biggest blast was a grand slam from Juan Soto in the sixth inning.

The Mets, who need to just stack wins and see what happens, will look to do so on the West Coast (again), as they fly to Seattle for a three-game series starting tomorrow.

The ‘Greatest Spectacle in Racing’ continues to live up to its name up with some truly astonishing finishes over the years, while also having a race in 1913 where the margin of victory was over 13 minutes between first and second.

It’s should come as no surprise that in this increasingly competitive modern age with fields closer than they’ve ever been before, three of the five closest finishes in Indy 500 history have taken place in the last 12 years.

But this year marked the closest ever, besting a record that had stood for over three decades as Felix Rosenqvist charged from third to first on the final lap to win the Indianapolis 500.

Ryan McMahon and Ben Rice belted the blasts to defeat the Blue Jays, 5-4, at Yankee Stadium. It was another nervous ninth inning, but the Yankees prevailed.

With runners at second and third and a Toronto Blue Jays run already home, Camilo Doval got Kaz Okamoto to ground out to Anthony Volpe, sealing Tuesday night’s 5-4 win.

Doval was subbing as closer with both David Bednar and Fernando Cruz unavailable due to heavy workloads.

Ryan McMahon broke a personal 0-for-24 with a game-tying three-run homer off Dylan Cease in the fourth, setting up Ben Rice’s go-ahead, two-run homer in the fifth.

New York (30-19) has now won two games in a row and 2-0 on this current home trip.

The New York Knicks defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 109-93.They now hold a 2-0 series lead as they head to Cleveland.

The Knicks went up by double-digits in the second half and then, unlike the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1, held on for a  win. 

New York had all the momentum, plus home-court advantage, after outscoring Cleveland 44-11 to close out the series opener. The Cavaliers appeared to have shaken off that mortifying outcome in the first half, but it all fell apart early in the third quarter.

Josh Hart had a playoff career-high 26 points on 10-of-21 shooting (5-of-11 from 3-point range), plus seven assists and some aggressive defense against Cleveland’s backcourt.

The Pittsburgh Steelers don’t have an answer yet from Aaron Rodgers on what his plans are, but their new coach is well aware of the kind of story it would be.

Mike McCarthy, who coached Rodgers with the Green Bay Packers from 2006 to 2018, is all for a reunion story. “Yes, it’d be a great story,” McCarthy.

Kevin Harlan asked the first-year Steelers coach about a possible reunion with Rodgers. 

McCarthy said. “It’s really cool to see Aaron at 42 and all that he’s been able to accomplish.”

Last season was Rodgers’ first with the Steelers, and he helped them to the AFC North title. Shortly after the season, coach Mike Tomlin stepped down and was replaced by McCarthy.

The New York Knicks, fueled by a stunning three-point barrage, powered past the Philadelphia 76ers 144-114 on Sunday and into the NBA Eastern Conference finals.

The Knicks equalled a playoffs record with 11 first-quarter three-pointers and piled up a record-equalling 18 in the first half, setting an early tone on the way to their seventh straight victory of these playoffs.

They finished with a playoff record-equalling 25 treys as they polished off a 4-0 sweep of the 76ers in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semi-finals and reach the conference finals for the second straight year after not going that deep in the playoffs for 24 straight seasons.

Long shot Golden Tempo made a stretch run for the ages, coming from dead last to win the 152nd Run for the Roses. In the process, Cherie DeVaux became the first female trainer ever to win the Kentucky Derby.

Go see the Globetrotters and their wonderful brand of family entertainment when they visit your town. The Globetrotters have been around since the 1920s, so you’ll be a part of the hundred-year tradition of watching the team sink trick shots that blow everybody’s minds.

Former Indiana Hoosiers quarterback Fernando Mendoza was selected by the Las Vegas Raiders at number one  overall in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Mendoza, 22, opted not to attend the draft in Pittsburgh, instead sharing his experience with his family in Miami. The 2025 Heisman Trophy winner and national champion had one of the most decorated seasons in college football history during his year in Bloomington.

The redshirt junior threw for 3,535 yards, an NCAA-best 41 touchdowns and six interceptions on 273 of 379 passing in 2025, winning the national title and a slew of individual awards including the Heisman Trophy, College Football Playoff MVP, Associated Press College Football Player of the Year and Big Ten Most Valuable Player and being selected as a consensus All-American in 2025.
