New guidelines for classifying amateur sports officials as independent contractors or employees could lead to higher costs and fewer refs.

In hindsight, maybe those of us who’d witnessed Maxey’s rise shouldn’t have been so floored when LeBron announced that he would be joining the Sixers.

Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio rotated Michael Carter II and Marcus Epps throughout the game. That did not stop Bears quarterback Case Keenum from attacking the safety group early and often.

And Jesús Luzardo will take the mound for the Phillies in Game 1.

The Elgers and the Akridges will be watching closely from opposite corners of the world, as the Phillies rookie pitches against their favorite team. But they won’t waver in their support of him.

The Eagles made Keenum, a 38-year-old journeyman who hadn't played in a game in three years, look like prime Tom Brady in Monday's 27-7 loss to Chicago.

Cameras caught Nick Sirianni's heated reaction to a late hit in the second quarter while Jalen Hurts was visibly frustrated after backup QB Andy Dalton's interception.

The Eagles earned poor marks across the board but Sirianni should shoulder the blame as the team's head coach against a third-string quarterback in Case Keenum.

In the video posted by Ertz's wife, Julie, Madden says "our family can’t wait to cheer the team on," and that Zach has been "working really hard." with the help of him and his brothers.

For Tyrese Maxey, it’s “awkward” in a good way seeing his former Celtics rival in a Sixers uniform.

Starting goalie Dan Vladař is ready to go, but forward Denver Barkey will start the season on the shelf with a lower-body injury.

The Phillies second baseman continues to get positive updates on his sprained left ankle, but not positive enough to play vs. the Braves.

We need stronger safeguards around AI systems and biological design tools. We need to recognize that biodefense is national defense, writes former Gov. Tom Ridge.

And the high costs for refs.

The mothers of Jahaad Atkinson, 9, and Ah’Yir Womack, 12, who were killed by an Amtrak train in 2023, sued lawyers Emeka Igwe and Daniel Purtell, as well as their firms, for legal malpractice.

E-scooters are inherently less stable than e-bikes because of their narrow platforms, smaller wheels, and riders are standing, experts say.
