President Giuseppe Marotta and everyone at FC Internazionale Milano stand in solidarity with the Baresi family and his brother Beppe during this time of grief.Franco Baresi has passed away, taking with him one of the figures who most defined the history of the Milan derby through consistency and excellence. AC Milan captain, team leader and club icon, he built his career on defensive intelligence and leadership that earned recognition even from his opponents.
Born in Travagliato on 8 May 1960, Baresi made 719 appearances and scored 33 goals for the Rossoneri, spending 20 years exclusively with Milan, between 1977 and 1997. In the 35 derbies he played against Inter, his name became synonymous with composure and reliability in a rivalry that was always filled with intensity.
Within that rivalry, the strongest bond was the one with Giuseppe Baresi. Two brothers, two captains, who grew up together and later found themselves wearing opposite colours, yet remained united by a respect that was never in question. For them, the derby was never just a match: it was a direct challenge, a responsibility, but also a balance to be protected. "We tried to leave it outside the door. There was always the concern that neither of us would get injured," Franco recalled. And then there was that almost everyday normality before the game: joking together, a way of easing the tension before 90 minutes that meant much more than just a football match for Milan.
On 2 March 1980, the day San Siro was named after Giuseppe Meazza, that story was captured in one defining image: the Baresi brothers facing each other inside a stadium that was becoming an even stronger symbol of the city and its rivalry. A photograph that tells the story of the derby better than many words. The final image, once again inside San Siro: the Olympic Torch ceremony, carried together with Beppe Bergomi. An endless derby, a bond with the city that remains unbreakable.
From Inter and the entire Nerazzurri world, the memory of a great opponent, a protagonist of the battles that helped shape the very meaning of the Milan derby. With respect.

Pakistan-India javelin rivalry returns to the global stage on Friday as reigning champion Arshad Nadeem looks to defend his Commonwealth Games **** le against a stacked field led by Sri Lanka's rising javelin phenom and world lead Rumesh Pathirage.
Pathirage leads the charge after an 82.84-metre (271-foot) throw in the qualifying round on Thursday, followed by 2022 silver medallist Anderson Peters of Grenada with an 81.29-metre (267ft) throw on his second attempt, and South Africa's Douw Smit with 80.84 metres (265ft).
Friday's final will be an epic showdown between veterans who have topped the podium in previous iterations and up-and-coming hopefuls looking for global glory after becoming national champions. Five of the top seven finishers at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games will be competing in the final.
It seems to be a changing of the guard on the South Asian front after Pathirage dominated this season with back-to-back wins. His monstrous 92.62-metre (304ft) throw at the Rome Diamond League in May would be enough to smash the Commonwealth Games record of 90.18m set by Nadeem in 2022.
Nadeem and his long-time rival from India, Neeraj Chopra, on the other hand, have only competed once ahead of the Games in Edinburgh after injury kept both away from competitions this season.

The rivalry between Donald Trump and LeBron James has taken another turn after Stephen A. Smith suggested there may be a deeper, lesser-known motivation.
LeBron James and Donald Trump's rift has been playing out in public for years, and it's rarely been subtle.
Things really boiled over back in 2017 when LeBron famously called Trump a "bum" on social media after the president withdrew a White House invitation for the Warriors.
From there, it became a running battle. LeBron didn't hold back on calling out Trump's stance on race and social issues, while Trump routinely took shots at LeBron's intelligence and threw shade by claiming he preferred Michael Jordan.
And his latest tirade about LeBron even saw him labelled as a 'racist'.

Arsenal and Chelsea have frequently taken their London rivalry into the transfer market, and that trend continued this summer when the Blues beat the Gunners to the signing of Morgan Rogers.
Arsenal remain active in the transfer market, and the two clubs could now compete for another player. Reports suggest both sides are interested in Barcelona midfielder Marc Bernal as they continue to strengthen their squads ahead of the new season.
Bernal is regarded as one of the brightest young talents in Barcelona's squad. However, with the Spanish club boasting significant depth and competing at the highest level, securing regular first-team football has proved challenging for the midfielder.
According to Football Talk, ****** nal and Chelsea are both interested in signing Bernal during the current transfer window. ****** nal are reportedly prepared to offer the midfielder the opportunity to establish himself in their first team if he decides to make the move.
Chelsea are also said to have made similar ****** urances, leaving Bernal with an important decision over his future. The midfielder is expected to weigh up which club can provide him with the best opportunity for regular football, while remaining at Barcelona is also understood to be an option.

Javier Mendez doesn't see Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Machado Garry continuing the Dagestan vs. Ireland rivalry.
Welterweight champion Makhachev (28-1 MMA, 17-1 UFC) makes his first ***** le defense against Machado Garry (17-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) in the UFC 330 main event on Aug. 15 at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia (Paramount+).
Machado Garry has called his fight against Makhachev Ireland vs. Dagestan 2, referring to Conor McGregor's bad blood with Khabib Nurmagomedov. Things got so personal with McGregor and Nurmagomedov, that Nurmagomedov jumped McGregor's corner immediately after choking him out at UFC 229.
Mendez says you can't compare the two fights.
"There are zero similarities to Conor vs. Khabib," Mendez said in an interview with NewBettingSites. "Unless Ian starts disrespecting family and religion or country, but I don't see him doing that or Islam doing it either. It's a fight between them, and I feel like if they want to include me and Khabib that's fine. We are fair game, we are trainers and part of the team. They should leave everyone else alone though."

Jul. 29—CHAMPAIGN — Matt Leskis has a unique perspective on the football rivalry between Champaign Central and Centennial.
He grew up playing in the battle for Champaign.
Albeit for Centennial, where he graduated from in 1986. The Chargers went 2-2 against the Maroons during his time as a player.
Leskis has served as the Central coach, however, for the last two seasons. When those annual matchups happened the second week of the season.
That won't be the case this year, though. The Maroons and Chargers will meet in Week 9 at Tommy Stewart Field with the regular-season finale scheduled for 7 p.m. on Oct. 16.

Weird things happen when the Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres get together, and tonight's game was one of many such occasions in the history of this rivalry. The first of two in San Diego had it all. Terrible defense, many different pitchers, chair interference, multiple ejections from the Padres' bench—including manager Craig Stammen—and finally a walk-off loss after more than three hours.
"We all kept going," manager Warren Schaeffer **** sed after the game. "Back and forth ballgame, really good big-league ballgame in terms of back-and-forth. Some big offensive moments. Two big at-bats for [Ezequiel Tovar] today. Big homer from [Mickey Moniak], Willi [Castro] — a couple of good walks from Willi, and Cole [Carrigg] just moving the line.
"Scoring 7 runs on the road, that's pretty good," he continued. "[We] scored against their bullpen a little bit, it's a really good bullpen. But then on the other side of the ball, we had four errors. Errors and walks, walks and errors. You're not going to win in the big leagues if you walk guys, especially late in the game and then you make errors in big moments."
Right-handed starter Michael Lorenzen was the first of many pitchers utilized by the Rockies in tonight's… let's call it "interesting" affair against the Padres. Lorenzen, despite a string of solid starts in recent memory, was looking to rebound after getting hammered hard by the Washington Nationals his last time out.
Instead, Lorenzen gave up a lot of contact in an inefficient start. He threw 93 pitches in just four innings while also giving up eight hits with a walk and only two strikeouts.

Chicago — Conference realignment has thrown a wrench in many of college football's traditional rivalries. At least one Big Ten coach says he feels a new one brewing with Michigan.
Tuesday at Big Ten Media Days, USC head coach Lincoln Riley said that the past two season's games against Michigan have taken on the air of a rivalry. And though the Wolverines aren't on the schedule this season, he's looking forward to building more history with the Big Ten's traditional teams.
"This has got a little bit of juice behind it," Riley said. "Whether it's at the Big House or at the Coliseum, those two programs walk on the field, those two helmets walk on the field, it's like, ***** , you know. This is real. It's pretty cool, and I think everybody kind of feels that."
Michigan's Kalel Mullings ran in a 1-yard, fourth down touchdown with 37 seconds left to beat USC, 27-24, in a ranked clash at Michigan Stadium in 2024. The next year, USC pounded Michigan 31-13 in Los Angeles.
No, this quote-unquote rivalry isn't replacing the Battle for the Jeweled Shillelagh for Southern Cal, or surpassing The Game in importance for Michigan. The Trojans will always have beef with Notre Dame and UCLA — no matter what scheduling drama there may be with the Irish. And the Wolverines' rivals of Ohio State and Michigan State carry a certain regional animosity that is as hot as ever these days.

Giannis Antetokounmpo extends an olive branch to new Miami Heat teammate Bam Adebayo and his family.
Giannis was traded to join Adebayo's Heat this summer, teaming up with two players who had been conference rivals for years.
With Adebayo and Antetokounmpo focused on being on the same page after years of an on-court rivalry, Antetokounmpo had the perfect vacation idea for the pair.
As Antetokounmpo went to the Heat's practice facility, he met Adebayo mid-workout as Giannis suggested Bam come with him to vacation in Greece, where they can work out together.
"Come to Greece.. Come to Greece with your wife. Your wife, sorry. I don't know if you're married."

They have been separated for more than a decade by just 40 metres.
Now two clubs in south Wales believe they may finally have the most local rivalry in British football.
Nottingham Forest and Notts County, divided only by the River Trent, are the closest senior professional rivals in England.
Even less ****** e - only 0.17 miles (272m) - separates Dundee's Dens Park and Dundee United's Tannadice Park.
But when Cwmbran Celtic host Cwmbran Town on Tuesday evening for their first meeting in 16 years - in the third tier of Welsh football - it could be the shortest distance of the lot separating their home grounds.

According to a report from The Spokesman Review's Greg Woods, the Washington Huskies and Washington State Cougars will not play their annual Apple Cup rivalry on the hardwood.
It's the first time since 1917 that the two teams won't meet in the regular season after the Huskies moved from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten following the end of the 2023-24 season; instead, the in-state rivals will play an exhibition game in Seattle at some point this fall.
The Huskies currently lead the series 189-111, and have won the last three matchups against the Cougars, most recently an 81-69 victory in Pullman.
In that contest, the Huskies were led by freshman forward Hannes Steinbach, who posted 14 points and 13 rebounds as part of a stellar season that saw him selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the No. 14 overall pick in June's NBA draft, while sophomore guard Wesley Yates added 26 points and 7 rebounds in the win.
Coach Danny Sprinkle, who grew up a Husky after being born in Pullman because his late father, Bill, played defensive back for Washington in the 1960s, is undefeated in his two games against the Cougars and will have to wait at least another year for an opportunity to earn another win over WSU.

Long-time NBA **** yst Skip Bayless recently accused Dillon Brooks, who became a meme for "hate-watching" during the Los Angeles Lakers' Game 4 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder last May, of selling out to LeBron James.
Brooks and James have shared a fierce rivalry in the past few years, which is why Bayless was surprised to learn that Brooks actually asked James' agent, Rich Paul, for courtside tickets to watch the said contest.
"I just lost respect for Dillon Brooks, who admits he got his courtside seat at the Laker playoff game from Rich Paul," Bayless posted on X. "Come on, don't sell out to LeBron. Don't lose your 'Dillon the Villain' edge vs LBJ. Don't turn into Draymond (Green), going from LBJ enemy to business partner."

It is important to note that Brooks' agent, Mike George, is signed with the Klutch Sports Group, which explains his connection with Paul. However, it's hard to envision that Brooks will take it easy on James the next time they share the court.

England and Australia should be open to the idea of playing a Test match in India to help generate interest in the format, says the chief executive of Cricket Australia.
The two sides traditionally only meet in Test cricket as part of an Ashes series, which is played on a home-and-away basis, with each country hosting it roughly every four years.
Australia and England are, though, poised to play a one-off Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in March 2027 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the first meeting between the sides.
And Cricket Australia chief executive Todd Greenberg told BBC Sport the prospect of taking international cricket's most storied - and marketable - Test rivalry to India should be on the table.
Such a fixture would need buy-in from both the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

Magomed Ankalaev returns to the cage on Saturday, July 25th to headline a UFC Fight Night in Abu Dhabi against Bogdan Guskov. We haven’t seen or heard much from Ankalaev since he lost his light heavyweight ****** le to Alex Pereira, dropping his record to 1-1 against his bitter rival.
It’s unclear how much of that rivalry is actually generated by Ankalaev and how much is just”Big Ank,” the disrespectful personality on X (formerly Twitter) that many believe is actually the work of Ankalaev’s manager Ali Abdelaziz. During this week’s media day, Ankalaev explained why he was a man of few words in real life.
“How are people going to know what I am or what I have inside?” Ankalaev said. “I’m a professional fighter, I like to keep my emotions inside. And if there’s no crossing of a specific line, then I come out here and I come out as a professional. But if somebody crosses that line or kind of toes the line, then I’m sure I can show my character as well. Other than that, I like to keep my emotions in, my head cool, and go and do my job.”
Ankalaev recently said he’d be willing to chase Pereira up to heavyweight for a third fight, a comment that “Poatan” seemed to dismiss by commenting “Are you even still alive over there?”
“Alex Pereira must have been sleeping for a long time because I believe he was put to sleep pretty hard,” Ankalaev said, referring to Pereira’s recent knockout loss at the hands of Ciryl Gane. “If you can pass him a message, tell him I’m alive and well, and I’m waiting to see what he can show.”

A former Nebraska quarterback recently talked in-depth about one of Nebraska's great on-field rivalries. Eric Crouch spoke to Hail Varsity about the history of the Huskers' rivalry with the Oklahoma Sooners.
The two teams have played one another 88 times in a rivalry that began in 1912. Oklahoma leads the all-time series 47-38-3 and has won the last three meetings.
The Huskers and Sooners have also played in many high-profile games against one another. They have met 18 times with both teams ranked in the top ten and four times with the two teams ranked No. 1 and No. 2.
Crouch was 1-1 against the Sooners as the starting quarterback for Nebraska. He spoke to Hail Varsity about how almost every game between the two teams had national ***** le implications.
"The history between Nebraska and Oklahoma was deep. It goes back years and years and there were a lot of trick plays and a lot of competitive games. A lot of ***** les came down to the Nebraska/Oklahoma game so it really felt like a ***** le game."

For hundreds of thousands of student athletes, college sports are an opportunity. Sports are a means to a better life because they teach young men and women the traits that are necessary to succeed as adults – grit, work ethic, self-discipline and teamwork.
Student athletes often must train before sunrise, balance full academic schedules and compete for their teammates, their schools and the communities that stand behind them.
At a time when Americans are divided on so many issues, seeing young men and women mature through sports is one thing that unites and inspires us. College sports remain a rare tradition that still brings people together.
On fall Saturdays during football season, college towns come alive. Stands fill with school colors, marching bands echo through the afternoon air, and thousands of families, friends and alumni return to campus, carrying decades of pride and history into every rivalry game.
Yet the foundation that has sustained college athletics is beginning to crack.

Scottie Scheffler has broken his silence on Rory McIlroy’s rivalry with Bryson DeChambeau, and it’s fair to say he’s not a fan of it.
McIlroy spoke about DeChambeau’s rule controversy at The Open Championship, saying, “I’m not particularly fond of him”. DeChambeau protested a penalty ruled against him after the second round of The Open late into the evening, in a move McIlroy described as “performative”.
The rivalry between DeChambeau and McIlroy goes way back. DeChambeau is the face of LIV Golf, which McIlroy has had public battles with in the past, and after DeChambeau beat McIlroy at the 2024 US Open, there has always been tension between the pair.
But in response to McIlroy’s comments, Scheffler said he’s not a fan of “personal jabs”, taking the side of DeChambeau in this instance. The world number one added that he doesn’t think rivalries are a big thing in golf because players aren’t competing one on one. “My biggest rivalry week in and week out is the golf course,” said Scheffler.
But this is a take that Dan Rapaport vehemently disagrees with.

The top rivalry out on the West Coast between the UCLA Bruins and Gonzaga Bulldogs will officially return on Dec. 5 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The Zags are looking to make it nine victories over the Bruins in their 12 all-time matchups.
The biggest storyline with the offseason starting to dwindle away that could potentially influence this specific game is whether former UCLA lead guard Donova Dent will receive a fifth year of college eligibility from the NCAA and choose to transfer to Gonzaga.
Here is the full update to the 2026-27 non-conference schedule, with not all dates/locations/times finalized.

La Familia survived a hard-fought three-game rivalry series against The Ville, punching its ticket to the next round of The Basketball Tournament (TBT) with a 63-57 victory Wednesday night inside Memorial Coliseum.
After splitting the first two games, with La Familia winning 72-68 in Lexington before falling 82-62 in Louisville, everything came down to Game 3. The Ville controlled much of the first half, building a 21-13 first-quarter lead before taking a 30-25 advantage into halftime. La Familia struggled offensively early, especially from beyond the arc, but stayed within striking distance thanks to its defensive effort.
The game completely shifted after halftime.
La Familia opened the third quarter on an 8-2 run, highlighted by a floater and 3-pointer from Archie Goodwin to grab its first lead at 33-32.
Darryl Morsell continued attacking the basket, while Willie Cauley-Stein provided key minutes in the paint before heading to the bench for a breather. Goodwin added a steal and breakaway slam as La Familia stretched its lead to seven points before carrying a 45-40 advantage into the fourth quarter.

BEIJING (AP) — China's leading technology companies showcased hundreds of cutting-edge products at the World AI Conference in Shanghai — from advanced robotics to artificial intelligence systems.
The nation's annual flagship AI event, which was held from July 17 to 20, took place against the backdrop of a heated U.S.-China tech rivalry. More than 1,100 companies participated.
Chinese companies have developed more than 400 humanoid robot products, more than half the world's total, state media said. Open-source AI models from China are increasingly challenging leading American ones as they are more widely adopted globally.

TAMPA, Fla. — It used to be the biggest rivalry game of the week, the month — maybe the entire season.
In 2026, Florida and Tennessee will be complete strangers.
Their once-a-year matchup that, back in the day, featured Steve Spurrier, Peyton Manning, Phillip Fulmer and snark that sometimes even outweighed the stakes — "You can't spell Citrus without 'U-T'" — is absent from the schedule for the first time in 37 seasons.
Alabama-LSU — soon that'll be gone, too, for the first time since 1963.
The Gators and LSU — they'll miss each other this year for the first time since 1970.

Drew Brees wants WWE to turn Tom Brady and Logan Paul's increasingly theatrical rivalry into an actual wrestling match.
TMZ Sports approached the former New Orleans Saints quarterback in New York City on July 21 and asked whether Brady and Paul should settle their public feud in the ring. "They should!" Brees replied. "They should schedule that."
Brees did not propose a date, venue or match format, and WWE has not announced Brady for an event.
Brady encouraged the speculation during Fanatics Fest in New York, saying he believed he could manage at least one match despite retiring from professional football.
"I feel like I could get in there for at least one match," Brady said, according to People. He added that he had been waiting for WWE president Nick Khan to develop a storyline that would get him "in the mix."

With the college football season quickly approaching, the SEC held its highly anticipated media days on Tuesday. While much of the conversation centered on the conference's rumored departure from the NCAA, another notable sound bite flew under the radar.
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart has established himself as one of college football's premier leaders, guiding the Bulldogs to multiple SEC and national championships during his tenure. His comments this week offered another example of why.

Anyone active on social media has undoubtedly seen the phrase "Likes are not endorsements" in a person's profile biography. It is simply a disclaimer that seeing someone "like" something doesn't necessarily mean they actually enjoy or agree with whatever was expressed in that specific post.
Anyone who says this statement has clearly never run afoul of Cristiano Ronaldo's long-standing, personal rivalry with Lionel Messi. In the latest episode of an entanglement that has become increasingly one-sided in Messi's favor, we point to Ronaldo's Instagram profile featuring 677 million followers at the time of this writing — in other words, as visible as one could possibly be on social media — "liking" a post from Espejo Público, a Spanish news show, alleging that FIFA helped Messi's Argentina reach the 2026 men's World Cup Final.
(Note: This game was Messi's third World Cup Final appearance with Argentina. Ronaldo never took Portugal to the biggest game in sports during his World Cup career.)
You know what I'm referring to here. The conspiracy theory about FIFA rigging the tournament so the greatest soccer player of all time, Messi, could go out on top. To put it lightly, a dominant Spain side ensured he did not.
That didn't stop Ronaldo from tacitly endorsing a clip amplifying this conspiracy anyway. Woof:

The San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday revealed what jersey they'll wear for what game on their 2026 schedule.
San Francisco has five different uniform sets this season. They have their usual home red and road white jerseys. They have their red and white throwbacks that were first worn in the 1994 season. They'll also run back the all black rivalry uniform they wore in Week 18 last season when they were thumped by the Seattle Seahawks at Levi's Stadium.
This year the 49ers will lean heavily on their standard home and road uniforms. They'll wear their home reds eight times, however they won't wear them again after Week 12 against the Seahawks. San Francisco will wear their white road jerseys five times, their throwback reds twice, throwback whites once and their black rivalry uniform once.
Here's the 49ers' schedule and which jersey they'll be wearing for that game:
Week 1, Thurs., Sept. 10 | 49ers at Los Angeles Rams | Road white

It's always interesting to get a players take on the game, and as a cover athlete on EA Sports NCAA College Football 2027, Notre Dame star cornerback Leonard Moore has been part of the games social media campaign.
Three of the stars, Moore along with Miami wide receiver Malachi Toney and Oregon's Dante Moore each ranked their personal top-3 rivalries of college football. The Irish star had a very interesting list, which didn't have his team at the top.
He has Notre Dame and USC as his No. 3, followed by Ohio State and Michigan then at the top was Texas and Oklahoma. It's hard to argue with this ranking, but it should be noted that each of the players picked "The Game". Two of the three picked the "Red River Rivalry", meaning those two games most likely are at the top of many peoples lists.
It hard to say if the "Battle for the Jeweled Shillelagh" was still active it would get more hype, but that's the reality of the situation. The game could be played in the future, but it does seem like without any recent additions to the rivalry, will start to fade in peoples minds as one of the top matchups.
Moore had a pretty solid list, which rivalry games would make your top-5?

England have the chance to take a giant stride towards immortality when they face Argentina in the World Cup semi-final in their biggest match since winning the 1966 final at Wembley.
The Three Lions have reached two World Cup semi-finals in the six decades since then - at Italia '90 and then in Russia eight years ago - but this latest edition reignites an old rivalry, adding layers with history and controversial sub-plots.
England have lost the past two European Championship finals but, under the roof of the futuristic Atlanta Stadium, head coach Thomas Tuchel and his players have the chance to write themselves into legend by reaching the country's first men's World Cup final in 60 years.
The fact it was standing room only at Tuchel's pre-match media briefing, even though it was moved to a bigger venue, illustrates the scale of global interest in this chapter.
Wednesday's match (20:00 BST) is England's latest chance to finally reach another global showpiece - a barrier that has proved insurmountable since Sir Alf Ramsey's side lifted the Jules Rimet trophy in 1966.

Day 35 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup is the second semifinal. England meets Argentina at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta in a renewal of one of football's most storied rivalries.
This is their sixth all-time World Cup meeting, with the winner facing Spain in Sunday's final at MetLife Stadium.
All times Eastern and accurate as of Thursday, July 14, 2026, at 11:59 p.m.
Time/TV: 3:00 PM ET on Fox at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia
Why watch: This rivalry has produced some of the World Cup's biggest talking points, including Maradona's 1986 "Hand of God" goal and David Beckham's 1998 red card. The matchup promises to give us another iconic moment on the world's stage as both countries will love their chances of lifting the trophy on Sunday.
