Cameras caught Greene slamming his helmet, then striking the dugout wall before grabbing his hand in pain. “I let my emotions win,” Greene later said through…

The crash, triggered by a late-lap bump from behind, collected over seven cars and left debris scattered across the track. Miraculously, Elliott emerged with only minor injuries—but the outlook for his season is now in serious doubt. Medical staff confirmed he suffered a severe shoulder sprain and mild concussion symptoms, which will sideline him for at least several weeks. “I feel lucky to be walking away,” Elliott said from the infield care center, visibly shaken. “But…

Missouri Tigers quarterback Brady Cook went down during a routine practice drill—and now the entire Mizzou football program is holding its breath. Cook twisted awkwardly while scrambling in a no-contact drill and immediately clutched his right knee. Practice was halted for over 15 minutes as Cook was carted off in visible pain. Initial MRI results suggest a potential ACL tear, which could sideline him for the entire upcoming season. “You could hear a pin drop when it happened,” said a teammate. “He’s the heartbeat of this team.” Coach Eli Drinkwitz appeared shaken in a hastily-called press conference. “We’re still waiting…

After the team’s lackluster Game 3 loss in the playoffs, whispers of locker room disunity began to surface, with some insiders suggesting veteran players were clashing over line combinations and strategy. But Pastrňák didn’t hold back in the postgame interview. “There’s no time for finger-pointing,” he said. “We’re not folding for anyone—not the media, not the opponent. We bleed for this team.” Sources inside the locker room reveal that tensions rose when a heated exchange occurred between Pastrňák and another forward during the second intermission. Rather than letting it divide the group,…
