Conor McGregor, BKFC President, and Others Pay Tribute After Fighter Dies at 30

The combat world has suffered a tragic loss this month. Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) star Jmani Oliver has passed away at the age of 30. Although an official cause of death hasn’t been revealed, some sources say he suffered organ failure caused by non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a rare and aggressive condition. […] The post Conor McGregor, BKFC President, and Others Pay Tribute After Fighter Dies at 30 appeared first on EssentiallySports .

Is UNC Still A Blue Blood?

So this is interesting: former Duke greats Jason Williams and Grant Hill disagree about whether UNC is still a Blue Blood or not. Both of them grew up Carolina fans before they developed more refined taste, incidentally. Williams argues that UNC is no longer a Blue Blood, that they’ve fallen off for too long. Hill […]

BSH 2026 Community Draft Board, No. 11: Ryan Lin is an exciting two-way defender

As we turn the page and move outside of the top-10, Ryan Lin arrives as a reminder that there’s ample talent to be found outside of that top group in this year’s draft. A well-rounded and highly cerebral defender, Lin put in a solid season in the WHL, rounding out a very successful junior career, before he shifts his sights to the NCAA next season. One of the top defensemen in this class, while he doesn’t have the size of some of these other top prospects, he makes up for it with the stre...

Jared McCain Is Giving Off Life Lessons Left And Right

You might think that after getting traded in a somewhat humiliating fashion, that former Duke star Jared McCain might enjoy his success, and that he might want to rub Philadelphia’s nose in it a bit. That’s not his style, though. Check out what he says here about Philadelphia and the trade. Previously, he has said […]

NBA Mock Draft roundup for Milan Momcilovic, Jayden Quaintance, and Otega Oweh

Kentucky Basketball received major offseason news when Malachi Moreno officially announced his return to Lexington on Sunday, giving Mark Pope and his staff one less NBA Draft decision to monitor. Moreno had recently started appearing in several mock drafts as a late first-round or early second-round projection after receiving strong feedback during the pre-draft process. […]

YouTube Gold: Scheyer The Player

Jon Scheyer has had such a remarkable turn as a still-young head coach – remember, he’s just 38 – that his playing career tends to get overlooked, and that’s a shame, because Scheyer had a heck of a career at Duke. Scheyer finished just two points behind Gene Banks and Jason Williams as the 10th […]

2025-26 Player Grades: What else can you say about Porter Martone?

With just over five minutes to go in the NCAA Worchester Regional Final between Michigan State and Wisconsin in late March, the Spartans, led by Porter Martone, had a two-goal cushion. All they had to do was protect the lead, or at least not make two miscues in the final five minutes. However, less than a minute later Wisconsin tied things up, and won it in overtime. Martone’s collegiate career was over. But within hours the next chapter was being written. Philadelphia, then in the midst of tr...

Vanderbilt in Hooverville Game 1 vs. The Jamal Mashburn Wedding Jerseys

Let’s begin with what I wrote way back in 2016 on the first day of Hooverville: Once yearly, the Robber Barons of Vanderbilt dust off their monocles, travel to an Alabama Hooverville, and see how the other half lives. Not well. The other half does not live well. Since arriving last night, I’ve witnessed some […]

Flyers’ Dan Vladar is still haunted by season-ending goal

Dan Vladar still sees the exact moment that ended the Philadelphia Flyers season. The starting netminder that has risen from being just some no-name backup to being one of the better goalies in the NHL, still watches that puck float past his head and across the goal line to hand the Carolina Hurricanes the series. It was an extremely tough watch and still is to this day. Despite the Flyers beating out the preseason odds, making the playoffs, and beating the archrival Pittsburgh Penguins i...

YouTube Gold: Leonard vs. Hagler

Boxing is not what it once was, but for much of the 20th century, it was a huge draw. Fighters from Joe Louis, to Rocky Marciano, then later, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, and George Foreman, came across as warriors in the ring. Ali was widely acknowledged as the greatest, including by himself, and his fights […]

Quacking the Roster: TE Transfer Markus Dixon

Dixon was recruited to Clemson in the 2023 cycle as a high 3-star (.8778) in the 24/7 composite. Dixon prepped at Philadelphia’s powerhouse Archbishop Wood and was a multiple sport star athlete, playing both ways in football including safety and defensive end as well as wide receiver, tight end, and in one game even the […]
