Dolph Lundgren is looking back at one of the most famous behind-the-scenes moments from “Rocky IV.” He recently confessed he still feels guilty for breaking Sylvester Stallone’s ribs during their legendary fight scene.  The action star was candid when asked during an appearance on “FOX & Friends” if he felt responsible for the accident, which happened during one of the film’s most brutal sequences. “I didn’t know it happened, we were both getting hit in that fight,” Lundgren said. “We shot for two weeks in Vancouver, and I got back to LA … the producer called and said, ‘Hey, Dolph, you…

LAS VEGAS — Dylan Darling only logged seven minutes due to a hamstring injury on Wednesday.  The only true point guard on the roster was on the bench most of a disappointing 85-74 loss to No. 21 Auburn in which St. John’s was outscored by 17 points over the final 9:53.  Darling tried to gut it out late, but was not effective. It was uncertain when he suffered the injury.  Coach Rick Pitino was unsure of the severity of the hamstring issue. Darling already missed the loss to No. 8 Alabama due to a calf strain.  The No. 14 Red Storm clearly…

More is coming to light behind Pete Carroll’s decision to fire Chip Kelly as the Raiders’ offensive coordinator. The Raiders made the move earlier this week and Carroll told reporters that he had given Kelly “a lot of leeway” during his short tenure calling plays in Las Vegas, but NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported on Wednesday that there was more to what had occurred.  Appearing on “The Rich Eisen Show,” the NFL insider suggested that Kelly had been messing up some of the play calls.  Las Vegas offensive coordinator Chip Kelly walks on the field before the Raiders’ 30-29 loss…

A strange fossilized foot unearthed in Ethiopia over a decade ago may finally have an identity, according to scientists. A new study argues that the 3.4 million-year-old “Burtele foot,” discovered in 2009, belonged to Australopithecus deyiremeda, a controversial human relative that lived at the same time as our ancestor “Lucy,” according to findings published in the journal Nature on Tuesday.

One well-traveled pitcher believes his stock is only rising in his return to the Mets organization Right-hander Robert Stock, who inked a minor league pact this week that included an invite to spring training, is back with the Mets nearly five years after he last suited up for the team. Stock, 36, sports a bloated 4.90 ERA through 57 career games – numbers that have led him to bounce around the baseball world since he was first drafted as a catcher back in 2009. Right-hander Robert Stock agreed to a minor league deal with the Mets earlier this week, rejoining…

RALEIGH, N.C. — For Thanksgiving, the Rangers should be grateful they are just over .500. A 4-2 win over the Eastern Conference-leading Hurricanes on Wednesday night tipped the Blueshirts that way just in time for the Nov. 27 benchmark, giving the team a middling 12-11-2 record with roughly 30 percent of the season gone. Even though Carolina is hampered by injuries, this was a victory the Rangers could hang their hat on. Because 25 games into the 2025-26 campaign, the organization is fortunate not to be any lower in the NHL standings than they already are. It’s been a chaotic…

For many competitive athletes, the holidays don’t feel like a break. Instead, they can feel like a disruption to training, nutrition routines, rest schedules, and performance expectations that athletes may spend all year working to maintain. Add family gatherings, increased social demands, long travel days, irregular sleep, and unpredictable schedules, and suddenly even highly motivated athletes may feel overwhelmed. Food-related stress can also surface during the holidays, especially when routines shift or when athletes feel scrutinized by others’ comments or expectations. Social comparison plays a role too. Many athletes see teammates posting workouts during breaks, which can trigger performance anxiety…

A glowing piece by a New York Magazine site highlighting Miss Palestine Nadeen Ayoub’s life and background claiming she’s “seen some things” made a glaring omission —never mentioning her marriage and child with the son of a convicted terrorist who Hamas wants released from Israeli prison. Ayoub, who competed in the Miss Universe pageant on Friday, was featured in a glam article by The Cut for being the first-ever woman to hold the Miss Palestine title, heralding her for her dedication to humanitarian work — painting her as a voice for unity, hope, and a people “more than their suffering.”…

In fact, I’ll admit I know next to nothing about the sport. Sure, like pretty much any Millennial guy, I grew up hearing the names Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple-H and The Undertaker bandied about on the playground. Yet, somehow, I never really got into WWE,…
