The ‘Greatest Spectacle in Racing’ continues to live up to its name up with some truly astonishing finishes over the years, while also having a race in 1913 where the margin of victory was over 13 minutes between first and second.

It’s should come as no surprise that in this increasingly competitive modern age with fields closer than they’ve ever been before, three of the five closest finishes in Indy 500 history have taken place in the last 12 years.

But this year marked the closest ever, besting a record that had stood for over three decades as Felix Rosenqvist charged from third to first on the final lap to win the Indianapolis 500.

The Yankees scored five unanswered runs thanks to home runs.

Ryan McMahon and Ben Rice belted the blasts to defeat the Blue Jays, 5-4, at Yankee Stadium. It was another nervous ninth inning, but the Yankees prevailed.

With runners at second and third and a Toronto Blue Jays run already home, Camilo Doval got Kaz Okamoto to ground out to Anthony Volpe, sealing Tuesday night’s 5-4 win.

Doval was subbing as closer with both David Bednar and Fernando Cruz unavailable due to heavy workloads.

Ryan McMahon broke a personal 0-for-24 with a game-tying three-run homer off Dylan Cease in the fourth, setting up Ben Rice’s go-ahead, two-run homer in the fifth.

New York (30-19) has now won two games in a row and 2-0 on this current home trip.

The New York Knicks defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 109-93.They now hold a 2-0 series lead as they head to Cleveland.

The Knicks went up by double-digits in the second half and then, unlike the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1, held on for a  win. 

New York had all the momentum, plus home-court advantage, after outscoring Cleveland 44-11 to close out the series opener. The Cavaliers appeared to have shaken off that mortifying outcome in the first half, but it all fell apart early in the third quarter.

Josh Hart had a playoff career-high 26 points on 10-of-21 shooting (5-of-11 from 3-point range), plus seven assists and some aggressive defense against Cleveland’s backcourt.

The New York Jets and Breece Hall agreed on a three-year, $45.75 million contract with $29 million guaranteed.

Hall becomes the third-highest-paid running back by annual money, behind the Eagles’ Saquon Barkley ($20.6 million) and the 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey ($19 million). 

The deal does not include any guaranteed money in the third year of the contract, so it is essentially a two-year, $29 million deal.

Hall was drafted in the second round by the Jets in 2022. He has consistently been one of the team’s top offensive weapons during his first four years.

Hall topped the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the first time last season. He gained 1,065 yards on 243 carries and scored four rushing touchdowns.

The Hot Orange Chicken retains the flavors fans know and expect but turns up the heat with six scoops of crushed chilis and a ladle full of dried chilis, the same ones featured in Panda’s Kung Pao Chicken. This fiery addition is set to tantalize taste buds across the country.

Original Orange Chicken by Panda Express is a signature dish and one of the chain’s most popular menu items. It features crispy, bite-sized pieces of fried chicken coated in a sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy orange-flavored sauce.

The dish is typically served with steamed rice or chow mein and is a staple choice for many customers seeking a flavorful and satisfying meal. Its consistent quality and unique taste have made it a favorite among American Chinese cuisine enthusiasts.

The Pittsburgh Steelers don’t have an answer yet from Aaron Rodgers on what his plans are, but their new coach is well aware of the kind of story it would be.

Mike McCarthy, who coached Rodgers with the Green Bay Packers from 2006 to 2018, is all for a reunion story. “Yes, it’d be a great story,” McCarthy.

Kevin Harlan asked the first-year Steelers coach about a possible reunion with Rodgers. 

McCarthy said. “It’s really cool to see Aaron at 42 and all that he’s been able to accomplish.”

Last season was Rodgers’ first with the Steelers, and he helped them to the AFC North title. Shortly after the season, coach Mike Tomlin stepped down and was replaced by McCarthy.

Burger King offers a new twist on its signature Whopper sandwich with the introduction of the new Candied Bacon Whopper.

The Candied Bacon Whopper item features sweet bacon jam, garlic aioli, candied bacon and crispy onions — alongside a half-pound beef patty, lettuce and tomato — all sandwiched between BK’s classic seeded bun.

You can find the new Candied Bacon Whopper now at participating BK locations nationwide for a limited time while supplies last.

Prada Group has agreed to purchase Versace from Capri Holdings in a deal valued at $1.4 billion. The acquisition will be financed through $1.6 billion in new debt, following more than $1 billion already borrowed by Prada. The boards of both companies have approved the transaction.

“Versace will maintain its creative DNA and cultural authenticity, while benefiting from the full strength of the Group’s considerable consolidated platform, retail execution and operational expertise,’’ Prada said in a statement.

Donatella Versace, who served as Versace’s chief creative officer for nearly 30 years, stepped down last month, which influenced the negotiations. The luxury brand, founded in 1978 by Gianni Versace, was acquired by Capri Holdings (formerly Michael Kors) for $2.1 billion in 2018. This latest acquisition marks a significant shift in the luxury fashion industry, as Prada expands its influence and market share.

“We aim to continue Versace’s legacy, celebrating and re-interpreting its bold and timeless aesthetic,” said a spokesperson.

The New York Knicks are out for domination. For the second year in a row, Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals. 

They proved that the Larry O’Brien trophy is merely the reward but the goal was to overpower their opponents. It showed in their 144-114 demolition of the Philadelphia 76ers which led to an insane 4-0 sweep. They even notched a historic net rating feat.

Game 4 between the Knicks and 76ers was over during the middle of the first quarter. Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns saw their squad take over with a massive 19-point lead before the second quarter started. For most teams, it would all be a matter of closing out but the Knicks are different. They continued to steamroll Joel Embiid and Co.

By the end of their 144-114 domination, the Knicks secured a 20.3 net rating in the NBA Playoffs. This is the best net rating by a team in a single postseason run. They are also the sole owners of the record.
