Stanford’s ‘Hail Mary’ college soccer goal needs to be seen to be believed

Stanford’s Dylan Hooper scored one of the best goals you will ever see.

Everyone loves a game-winning goal. The absolute scenes of putting the ball through the net as the game expires is one of the coolest things to see in the sport.

It’s even better when the goal comes from the other half of the field in a stunner, which is exactly how the men’s soccer match between Stanford and Notre Dame ended. With eight seconds left on the clock, Stanford midfielder Dylan Hooper dribbles...

The 76ers are in the danger zone after Tyese Maxey’s injury.

The Philadelphia 76ers were supposed to be a championship contender this season. Instead, Philly is tied for the worst record in the NBA out of the starting gates, falling to 1-6 on the year after another loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.

It is no secret why the Sixers are struggling: Joel Embiid still hasn’t played a game as he works his way back from what the team...

“Wishing @realDonaldTrump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love,” Bezos posted on X, hours after Trump declared victory.

The Amazon founder and chair launched his Bezos Earth Fund in 2020, committing $10 billion to funding action on climate change. The...

How Trump’s immigration policies could affect employers and workers

As Trump gears up for a second term, he is likely to crack down on all kinds of immigration—even the H-1B visa that many employers rely on.
