The Boston Braves (the present-day Atlanta Braves) were a bunch of losers and alcohol-soaked whiskey swiggers, buried in last place as late as mid-July of 1914.

While many books have been written about Super Bowl games, never has one been written about how the Super Bowl itself became the greatest sporting event created in the twentieth century. Only one person can tell that story, truthfully, completely, and in the utmost detail, and that is Jim Steeg.

In Wrecking Ball, award-winning writer Rick Bass chronicles three seasons on the field with the Texas Express, a semiprofessional team in the Dynamic Texas Football Association. Light-years from the NFL, it has nowhere near the pomp of college football nor even of Texas high-school football. Most players are in their twenties, but some are older. Every year a few get to try out for the college game; others get scholarship money and a shot at another life. But for most, this is their last chance.

He was caught in an avalanche in terrain previously thought to present no risk. His teammate, Michael Hartrich, was injured in the accident.

In the world of boxing, the script is usually written long before the opening bell. The favourite strides in under the bright lights, wrapped in silk and confidence, carrying the weight of expectation like armour. The opponent?

The arena freezes in stunned silence, and in that heartbeat, boxing history is rewritten right in front of you.

When the matchday many were treated as the hooligan few, football supporters didn't react with violence or vandalism, but with typewriters, staple guns and Tippex. The fanzine movement of the 1980s transformed a bleak time into a hopeful one, re-humanising spectators in the process. Producing DIY zines and selling them outside football grounds, supporters offered authenticity, humour and criticism written from the terraces and not the press box, with truths that their clubs and the footballing authorities found uncomfortable.

For 140 years, women’s soccer has been a powerful global force and a vehicle for sparking change. That power has shone through 140 years of obstacles and setbacks, bans and ridicule, dismissal and devaluation. Today, investors and audiences recognize the value of women’s soccer not because it can raise money for charity or inspire young girls (although it can) but simply because it is good business. This sport and the women who play it have captured the world’s attention and will continue to advance the game—and the culture around it.

After one win in 17 by the start of the summer of 2022, England needed something new. For 145 years, Test cricket was played mainly in one way: batters laid a foundation before daring to attack – and, even then, only if circumstances were favourable.
