Los Ángeles, California – 25 de Septiembre de 2025 – El legendario lanzador de los Los Ángeles Dodgers, Clayton Kershaw, sorprendió al mundo del béisbol durante la celebración de la Serie Divisional, desatando una ola de diversión y entusiasmo que se convirtió en un momento icónico de su carrera. Lo que inicialmente se esperaba como una celebración estándar, se transformó en un espectáculo de júbilo desenfrenado, marcado por un Kershaw que aparentemente abandonó todas sus inhibiciones.

El incidente, capturado en video y ampliamente difundido en redes sociales, muestra a Kershaw abrazando, gritando y riendo con un fervor inusual, interactuando de manera exuberante con sus compañeros de equipo y el personal de los Dodgers. La intensidad de su reacción contrastaba fuertemente con la habitual compostura que ha caracterizado su carrera, alimentando especulaciones sobre la emoción del momento y la importancia del logro.

“Fue un momento de pura alegría,” comentó un analista deportivo de ESPN, David Ortiz. “Clayton siempre ha sido conocido por su profesionalismo, pero en ese momento, se dejó llevar por la emoción del triunfo y la camaradería. Fue increíble verlo así.”

Los aficionados de los Dodgers, que ven en Kershaw su héroe y un pilar del equipo, recibieron el vídeo con una mezcla de incredul y deleite. El hashtag #KershawUnleashed se convirtió rápidamente en tendencia global, con memes y comentarios de todo tipo inundando las plataformas sociales.

Si bien las razones exactas detrás del comportamiento exuberante de Kershaw no se conocen con certeza, muchos creen que fue un reflejo de la dedicación y el arduo trabajo que ha invertido a lo largo de su carrera, así como la culminación de años de esfuerzos por lograr un campeonato con los Dodgers. El equipo, por su parte, se mostró visiblemente feliz por la reacción de su estrella.

“Clayton es una parte fundamental de este equipo,” declaró el manager de los Dodgers, Ted Collins, en una conferencia de prensa. “Entendemos la emoción del momento. Es un gran logro y nosotros lo celebramos con él.”

El vídeo de Kershaw se ha convertido en un hito en la historia de los Dodgers, un recordatorio de que incluso los atletas más serios pueden experimentar momentos de pura emoción y celebrar con la misma intensidad que sus fans. Y para Clayton Kershaw, es un recuerdo que seguramente atesorará por los años venideros.

La semana pasada, en su enfrentamiento contra los New England Patriots, el ataque de presión de los Pittsburgh Steelers finalmente encontró su ritmo. El equipo logró cinco desatascos al quarterback Drake Maye, incluyendo dos de T.J. Watt. Esto se hizo aún más impresionante considerando que lo lograron sin el defensor de extremo Alex Highsmith. Highsmith se encontraba fuera debido a una esguince de tobillo severa sufrida la semana anterior.

La pregunta que todos se hacen es: ¿Jugará Highsmith esta semana cuando los Steelers viajen a Dublín, Irlanda, para enfrentarse a los Minnesota Vikings?

Poco después de la medianoche del jueves, el equipo anunció que Highsmith no viajará con el equipo a Irlanda y ha sido oficialmente descartado para el choque de la Semana Cuatro a través del canal después de no participar en los entrenamientos del miércoles y jueves.

Mientras tanto, sin Highsmith en el campo, Nick Herbig obtuvo el inicio. Jugó 61 jugadas y el ataque de presión de los Steelers no perdió el ritmo. Pittsburgh también le dio una mayor carga a Jack Sawyer, un jugador novato que está desarrollándose rápidamente en esta defensa.

Los Ángeles, California – Corey Feldman ha respondido a las recientes afirmaciones sobre dificultades en su colaboración con Jenna Johnson durante su participación en *Dancing With the Stars*. Tras las declaraciones del ex bailarín de la cadena, Maxim Chmerkovskiy, el actor de 54 años, desmintió públicamente las sugerencias de un mal vínculo.

Feldman publicó un comentario en el Instagram de Johnson, felicitándola por su trabajo y calificándola de “un absoluto placer trabajar con ella”. Además, negó los rumores de una relación difícil, expresando un arrepentimiento por cualquier “negatividad” que pudiera haber surgido.

La respuesta del actor llega tras las declaraciones de Chmerkovskiy, quien, en un artículo publicado por el *Daily Mail* el martes 23 de septiembre, afirmó que Johnson enfrentaba dificultades significativas antes de su eliminación del programa. Chmerkovskiy señaló que el entorno de *Dancing With the Stars* era particularmente exigente para la bailarina.

“Obviamente, Jenna tiene una cuesta arriba con Corey, lo cual es fácil para todos decir desde [fuera], pero sé que ella está teniendo un momento mucho más difícil con esto y hasta el punto de que es realmente difícil para ella”, declaró Chmerkovskiy.

Asimismo, el ex profesional de *Dancing With the Stars* atribuyó en parte las dificultades a la inexperiencia de Feldman en el formato de la competencia. Chmerkovskiy enfatizó la magnitud del espectáculo y las presiones a las que se enfrentaban los concursantes.

El comentario de Feldman y la publicación de Johnson representan una clara respuesta a las preocupaciones expresadas por Chmerkovskiy, buscando tranquilizar a los fans y dilucidar la percepción pública sobre su relación en *Dancing With the Stars*.

Gervonta “Tank” Davis se mostró una figura solitaria e incomprensible durante la semana de la doble conferencia de prensa. El púgil de 30 años ha sido seleccionado para ser el próximo compañero de baile de Jake Paul en un controvertido “exhibición” para el 14 de noviembre, pero hasta ahora, el boxeador de Baltimore parece reacio – y posiblemente incapaz – de “bailar” al ritmo ahora famoso de Paul.

Durante los eventos promocionales en Nueva York y Miami, Davis luchó por comprender: la tarea que tenía ante sí en siete semanas, su papel en el intento de promover la pelea, que se transmitirá en vivo por todo el mundo en Netflix (sí, Gervonta, ¿realmente es tan difícil?), o la presencia de un posible *undercard*. Él desconocía la fecha de la pelea, quién era el promotor, quiénes conformaban el *undercard*, y cuál sería el peso máximo permitido para los luchadores (195 libras, frente a lo que Davis creía que sería 190). – Todo esto es crucial para alguien con un interés directo en su propia carrera.

Con ojos vidriosos y hombros encorvados, Davis se sentó frente a la prensa mundial jugueteando con un pato de goma que Paul le había hecho fabricar un par de “payasos” literales. Al igual que un niño en detenimiento, “Tank” entró y salió de la conciencia, aburrido de lo que los adultos de la sala le estaban obligando a soportar.

Esto frustró a Paul, y a la prensa que lo observaba, que se preguntó: si Davis no le importa esta pelea, ¿por qué deberíamos preocuparnos?

En primer lugar, abordemos la “balla” en la habitación: no deberíamos y, en gran medida, no lo hacemos. Pero preocuparse y cubrir una historia no tienen que coexistir armoniosamente.

No es ninguna novedad que los nombres Jake Paul y “Tank” Davis sean entradas extremadamente populares en los motores de búsqueda, y a pesar de la naturaleza spurious de este evento, rivalizará sin duda con las peleas más vistas de 2025 – esto no es una opinión, es simplemente un conteo.

El boxeo – y todos los deportes de combate – siempre ha necesitado existir fuera de los parámetros de lo que se considera “deporte normal”. Esta falta de estructura y un sistema de liga tradicional, por lo tanto, se presta a veces a salidas extrañas, a veces maravillosas.

Históricamente, estas salidas se han podido generar rápidamente y con éxito gracias a que dos protagonistas extrovertidos han adoptado roles valiosos. Piénsese en Mayweather-McGregor, Shaq-De La Hoya, Paul-Tyson – Paul-Davis aún no ha logrado conseguir ese “ring”, y Paul lo sabe. “Eres *muy* aburrido”, le dijo Paul a Davis en la segunda conferencia de prensa. “Mi familia entera me estaba enviando mensajes de texto. Quiero disculparme al público por este tipo”.

En la primera reunión, Davis – cuyo peso máximo en su carrera es 92 libras por debajo de Paul – se sintió acechado por la sombra del ex YouTuber y pasó la procedencia de manera “dormida”. La segunda iteración culminó en un shove obligado por parte del hombre más pequeño, aparentemente en respuesta a la falta de animación previa del mismo.

“Tank” puede ser un excelente peleador, pero es un mal actor.

Esto no es una llamada a las armas para una falsedad de animosidad. Pero cuando una exhibición depende de una historia más diversa que la esperada en el combate, entonces la narrativa que se presenta requiere que haga mucho del “trabajo pesado”. Eso es “showbiz”, baby.

Davis claramente no le importa. Ha aceptado el jugoso cheque de Paul y realizará lo mínimo requerido para cobrarlo. La audiencia dividida estará compuesta por numerosas categorías: fans de Paul, fans de Davis, espectadores que disfrutan viendo el sufrimiento, espectadores ebrios, espectadores curiosos y espectadores pagados – habrá un gran vacío para aquellos que se han unido para presenciar cualquier tipo de deporte competitivo.

Al menos el reciente anuncio de una saludable *undercard* por parte de MVP – que cuenta con Alycia Baumgardner, Ellie Scotney, Gary Russell y Andy Hiraoka – ofrece algo de consuelo a aquellos que tienen un hambre por el deporte.

¿Quién ganará? ¿Quién realmente le importa? Davis no parece importarle. Nosotros lo cubriremos. La pelea será poco memorable y todos nos despertaremos al día siguiente olvidándola.

Hasta que llegue la siguiente y la hagamos de nuevo…

Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo and WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson’s burgeoning relationship has become a subject of fascination within the sporting world. Their connection, initially observed through shared attendance at basketball games and public appearances, has steadily evolved, marked by mutual support and a growing display of affection.

The pair’s friendship dates back to July 2023, when Adebayo was seen courtside at a Las Vegas Aces game, accompanied by fellow NBA stars Donovan Mitchell, Grant Williams, and Torrey Craig. Their interactions quickly gained attention, fueled by their shared athletic accomplishments and mutual respect.

Throughout the following months, the pair continued to orbit each other. In August 2024, Adebayo was courtside at the gold medal match of the Women’s Basketball Team during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Later, in September 2024, Wilson was in attendance when Adebayo and his Heat teammates were honored by the city of Miami, leading to observations by Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava.

Public displays of affection and support became increasingly frequent. Adebayo, known for his playful social media presence, repeatedly referenced Wilson, culminating in a formal declaration of their relationship in an April 2025 cover story for *Cosmo Sports*. Wilson described Adebayo as her “amazing boyfriend” and “safe space”, noting that he has been instrumental in her success.

The relationship continued to unfold publicly. In January 2025, Adebayo wore Wilson’s A’One sneakers during a game, a move that was particularly notable. In February 2025, Adebayo was present as Wilson’s South Carolina Gamecocks retired her jersey. Wilson, in turn, praised Adebayo’s support, describing his actions as “super dope.”

Their connection was further solidified through shared experiences, including NBA All-Star weekend, where Adebayo was present to celebrate Wilson’s historic fourth WNBA MVP win in September 2025. Dwyane Wade revealed on his podcast that Adebayo initially doubted his chances with Wilson, believing she was “one of top high schoolers that win everything.”

Throughout the year, the pair continued to make appearances together, including a notable incident in July 2025 where Wilson was photographed wearing Adebayo’s Miami Heat pants during an Aces practice, and attending the WNBA Starry 3-point contest during WNBA All-Star Weekend. Their combined presence and open displays of affection have solidified their status as one of the most talked-about couples in professional sports.

It feels just like yesterday, when Bill Belichick hit the gravel at Chapel Hill. Fandom held its breath, for the legendary coach, who developed Tom Brady, to shape the Tar Heels’ college football trajectory. UNC’s remaking was no longer a hope; it seemed certain. But what looked like a huge bang fizzled out like damp firecrackers. A 2-2 record, Belichick’s NFL pedigree charm appeared lacklustre. However, the NFL legend has one firm hand placed on his shoulder, the UNC Chancellor is still rooting for him.

You know, what was the most heartbreaking bit for Chapel Hill? Losing to an already-touted as one of the worst football programs. The UCF Knights. If it had been Georgia or the Buckeyes, it might not have stung that deep. But a 9-34 (UCF) and 48-14 (TCU) loss stung deep. Although they raked in two wins against Power Four competition, they scrambled to reach the endzone. An 82-23 streak! But Lee Roberts has got his faith intact in Belichick.

“It’s not the kind of thing that we judge after four games or even after one season,” Roberts said on Thursday, per *WRAL News*. “These things take time. We last won the conference championship in 1980, and so we have significant work to do, significant investment to make to get the program where we want it to be.”

But fans are hurt. More to the woe, the Tar Heels secured the bottom rung of the ACC conference in total offense (263.5 yards per game), passing offense (150 yards per game), and third-down conversion rate (34.5%). Moving on, the NFL legend said that he will review film footage to decide the QB starting against Clemson in October. After crushing losses, Urban Meyer was bitingly cold in his calculation. “They’re worse on tape than I thought they would be.”

Belichick’s reaction? “It’s still a work in progress, and we’ll continue to work through.” There are certainly loads to do. But fans are eager to want that dopamine, that instant gratification. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Ever since Belichick joined the Tar Heels, he has been pretty active in recruitment, reworking, rewiring, and rebuilding the program. A coaching staff overhaul, pumped up with NFL pedigree, and a fresh, elite incoming roster were his priorities.

But the present roster lacked depth and the explosiveness required to make impressive plays. QB Gio Lopez threw five interceptions before he headed to the sidelines in the third quarter, owing to a leg injury. So, he took a leaf from Colorado HC Deion Sanders‘ playbook and pumped the roster, hauling in players from the transfer portal. A quick way to amalgamate talent. Over 70 new faces, but the result was twice the disappointment.

Bill Belichick and the dreadful Grade F

With the losses, certainly, the Tar Heels did not expect a pat on the back. Grade F is what *CBS Sports* awarded North Carolina. Not that you would need to be told this, but ‘F’ stands for total disaster. Out of the 28 coaches graded, only two failed. Belichick and UMass’ Joe Harasymiak. “Four games in, it looks like one of the most disastrous hires in recent memory,” CBS Sports wrote. “There’s a realistic chance that the Tar Heels lose out, which would mark the worst season in Chapel Hill since 2003. For comparison, Mack Brown posted six straight bowl appearances. Grade: F.”

Just for context, UCF Knights’ Scott Frost got a B+. Aside from talent, the roster needs to be in sync, gelling together. Maybe that’s where the hiccup lay as well. Belichick admitted that. “Football is a team sport,” he said post-defeat to the UCF Knights. “There’s 11 guys out there, we’re not talking about one guy. It’s 11 guys that have to operate efficiently, and at times we’ve done that and at times we haven’t. Today wasn’t one of our better ones.”

However, college football and the NFL are two distinct landscapes. Surely, there’s a steady flow of coaches switching between the two circuits. But the culture is different. Even the legendary Nick Saban couldn’t replicate his college football success in the pro league. Belichick might be on the receiving end of the skeptics, and in the past days, when firings have grabbed more eyeballs, UNC stands firm with its head coach.

Make no mistake about it, Brock Lesnar — although his name has been clouded by controversy in recent years — is still, without question, one of the last great box-office attractions in professional wrestling. He is the type of performer whose very name, whispered in a rumor, sends a ripple of electricity through fanbases. If you doubt that, you only have to look at what happened this past weekend at Wrestlepalooza, WWE’s debut premium live event on ESPN. The building was jam-packed. The atmosphere was molten. And the match that carried the most weight — the bout splashed across posters, trailers and billboards — was the “final” encounter between Lesnar and John Cena.

Right now, Cena’s career is ticking down. He has only five dates left in his WWE journey, and that doesn’t mean five matches — it means five appearances. Crown Jewel will see him on Oct. 11. He’ll show up on “WWE Raw” in Boston on Nov. 10 and again in New York a week later. He’ll lace up for Survivor Series: WarGames in San Diego on Nov. 29. And then, at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington, D.C. on Dec. 13, he’ll take his final bow.

With so little time left, a full-scale feud with Lesnar seems improbable. But does that slam the door on Cena getting his long-awaited payback? Not at all — in fact, it might come under the double cage of Survivor Series.

Picture this: WarGames. The Vision — Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and, thanks to Paul Heyman’s surprise appearance at Wrestlepalooza, Brock Lesnar — standing shoulder-to-shoulder inside the steel. Across from them: CM Punk, The Usos and John Cena. The visual alone sells itself.

Imagine the roar when Lesnar is released from his cage, when he storms into the fray as the final entrant, tossing bodies like rag-dolls until only Cena remains standing. That would not just be a WarGames match. That would be one of the most-hyped WarGames clashes in WWE history. And in the end, the result wouldn’t even matter. Whether the babyfaces managed to topple The Vision, or whether Lesnar’s side rolled through them with brute force, the anticipation and the spectacle would be the true victory.

Afterward, as the dust settles from WarGames, Lesnar doesn’t need to linger on weekly TV. The beauty of “The Beast” is that his appearances are rare, and each one matters. WarGames becomes his closing chapter with Cena, giving Cena the shot at revenge he’s chased for a decade. But that payoff also clears the lane for Lesnar’s next collision course. The story shifts from old business with Cena to new business — who can possibly stop Brock Lesnar when he’s on a tear?

When you book Lesnar, you have to understand what he is and what he is not. He is not a regular roster member. He is not someone you plug in every Monday and Friday. He is not interchangeable with the men who grind week after week. Lesnar is an *attraction*. He is a special event. He is the modern-day Andre the Giant.

In the old territory days, when Paul Boesch was promoting Houston Wrestling, putting Andre’s name on the card guaranteed a sellout. Fans didn’t need to know who else was on the bill; Andre was enough. Part of his appeal was that he only came around once or twice a year. That rarity made his presence seismic. Brock Lesnar is the 21st-century equivalent. The less you see him, the more he matters. The moment you start using him like anyone else, you lose the magic.

When Lesnar returned to the ring this past Saturday, he looked more monstrous than ever. His frame was carved, his shoulders wide as a door frame, his arms like tree trunks. Maybe it’s the Saskatchewan elk meat he’s eating, but the man looked like he’d rolled back the clock. And here’s the truth — Lesnar may be part-time. He may be selective. He may want the biggest check for the fewest dates. But when he’s inside those ropes, he still puts on the boots and works as hard as anyone alive. He bumps. He sells. He throws his body around the ring for the good of the story. That willingness to give, when he chooses to, is what has made his second run — dating back to 2012 — one of the greatest stretches of any performer in wrestling history.

We cannot forget that Lesnar ended The Undertaker’s streak at WrestleMania 30, a feat no one else can ever replicate. He has carried the Universal Championship in reigns of dominance. He has spanned generations, fighting The Rock and Kurt Angle in one era, then Roman Reigns and Rhodes in another. His career since 2012 could stand on its own as a Hall of Fame résumé. Add in everything before, and you’re looking at a once-in-a-lifetime figure.

The formula for Lesnar has always been simple, and simplicity is what makes it brilliant. You don’t overexpose him. You book him sparingly, and when he appears, you let him dominate. You build mystique around him. And when the time is right, you let him give the rub to the next great babyface. He did it for Rhodes. He could do it for someone like Femi. He could do it opposite Gunther on the grandest stage.

If Lesnar enters WarGames, he will sell out the building. If he steps into the Royal Rumble, fans will pay just to see who dares eliminate him. If his name is printed on a WrestleMania 42 card, his match instantly becomes one of the most anticipated of the weekend. He is wrestling’s last true great attraction, and he must be treated as such.
