The man, the myth, and the molars. An Egyptian “strong man” and wrestler known for his staggering show of muscle dragged a 700-ton ship across the Red Sea using nothing but a rope clenched in his teeth. Ashraf Mahrous, also known to fans across Egypt as “Kabonga,” accomplished the stunt Saturday in the coastal city of Hurghada.

The other starter had ties to Babe Ruth. Cam Schlittler nevertheless was the star in the house that he built. Because of that, for the first time since 2003 — when Aaron Boone could still decide a game with a swing — historic order was restored to the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry. It didn’t take the drama of a Bucky Dent or Boone homer, though both were in attendance at Yankee Stadium. So they watched what it did take — a kid from Walpole, Mass., dominating the team for which he grew up rooting. Schlittler, in career major league start No.…

This Yankees-Red Sox Game 3 was the battle of two rookie starters. One of them met the moment. In the winner-take-all wild-card series game, Cam Schlittler went eight scoreless innings and struck out a career-high 12, allowing just five hits — and no walks — as the Yankees cruised to a 4-0 win over Boston to advance to the ALDS. Cam Schlittler struck out 12 in the Game 3 win. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post With four runs in the fourth inning on a combination of Yankees hits and sloppy Red Sox defense, the nearly unhittable Schlittler got all…

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday denounced the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk as a “disgusting atrocity,” claiming the public killing has exposed a “deep rift” in America. Putin hailed the Turning Point USA founder as a hero for giving his life defending beliefs that Russia also shares and offered condolences to his family three weeks after the 31-year-old right-wing activist was gunned down before thousands during a speaking event at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10. “This is a disgusting atrocity, especially since it was broadcast live,” the Russian leader said while speaking at the Valdai Discussion Group…

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Mike Brown went big with his big lineup decision and made another unexpected adjustment because of an injury. Mitchell Robinson got the nod in the starting five over Josh Hart in Thursday’s preseason 99-84 victory over the 76ers, a move that was gaining momentum through training camp and turned into a highly successful outing for the center. Robinson’s presence offered the Knicks more size — pushing Karl-Anthony Towns to power forward — as the Knicks dominated the glass. They outrebounded the short-handed Sixers 58-46, with Robinson’s 16 boards — including five offensive — highlighting…

After five years of recovery, getting more adept at managing my anxiety and bipolar disorder, I had a nice, tidy job as a receptionist at a small graphic design company. But over the course of working there, my acting bug gnawed away. That’s when I started writing excerpts about my experience with mental illness, specifically psychosis. I gave in. I scratched that creative itch. Writing wouldn’t derail me from my comfortable, albeit slightly boring, office job, right? While still working as a marketing-assistant-slash-receptionist (heavy emphasis on the slash part), I read the excerpts at the KickstART Disability Arts Festival. Three…

Ukraine will have the power to decimate Russian oil refineries, crippling the main source of funding for its war machine, and launch an Operation Spider Web-style attack on more military bases if the US commits to sharing intelligence and long-range missiles, experts told The Post. With President Trump reportedly green-lighting an intelligence-sharing agreement for strikes deep inside Russia, Ukraine will be capable of more precise and more destructive attacks against Moscow, said George Barros, of the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War. And should the US fulfill Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s request for Tomahawk cruise missiles — capable of reaching targets…

Sauce Gardner said what Garrett Wilson wouldn’t.  The offensive pass interference penalty on the Jets star wide receiver, which took away a Gang Green touchdown in an ugly, penalty-filled loss to the Dolphins on Monday night, was not the right call.  “That [offensive pass interference] was crazy. I’m going to say why it’s crazy,” the Jets cornerback said Thursday. “I get pushed so much at the top of the route. I get receivers pushing off of me at the top of the route so much. That’s why it was crazy.” Gardner believes the winless Jets are getting unfairly targeted by…
