Inter Miami and Argentina star Lionel Messi is mourning the loss of his father, Jorge Messi, who died Friday at a hospital in his native Rosario, Argentina. He was 68.

Jorge was more than Messi’s father. He served as his longtime agent and played an instrumental role throughout his son’s historic career.

The Messi family had largely kept Jorge’s prolonged illness private, only confirming during this summer’s World Cup that he was dealing with “a health situation.”

Our thoughts are with Lionel, the Messi family, and everyone who knew and loved Jorge during this difficult time.

Rest in peace, Jorge Messi. 1958–2026.

Dusty May’s rise has been nothing short of remarkable.

In just three years:

🏀 2023: Led Florida Atlantic to its first-ever Final Four appearance

🏀 2024: Hired as Michigan’s next head coach

🏀 2026: Delivered a national championship to the Wolverines

🏀 Now: Named the next head coach of the Dallas Mavericks

May becomes the first college basketball head coach to make the jump directly to an NBA head coaching job since John Beilein left Michigan for the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2019.

From Boca Raton to Ann Arbor to the NBA, the climb has been fast, and the results have followed every step of the way.

A Final Four. A national title. Now the Mavericks.

What’s your grade for the hire? ⬇️

Austria will be calling the California coast home during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

🇦🇹 Austria’s team hotel: The Ritz-Carlton Bacara in Santa Barbara, a five-star oceanfront resort with stunning views and luxury accommodations.

🇩🇿 Algeria’s team hotel: The DoubleTree in Lawrence, Kansas.

The contrast between World Cup base camps is always fascinating. While every team receives professional facilities and accommodations, some federations end up with a little more luxury than others.

Would you rather spend a month on the Pacific coast or in the heart of Kansas? 👀

Pat McAfee could be closing in on one of the richest deals in sports media.

According to reports, ESPN and Pat McAfee are negotiating a new contract extension that could be worth between $60 million and $65 million per year, more than doubling the value of his current deal.

The reported extension reflects McAfee’s growing role across ESPN, from The Pat McAfee Show and College GameDay to expanded NFL coverage and alternate broadcasts.

If finalized, the deal would place McAfee among the highest-paid personalities in sports media.
