The audience at India’s G20 summit was taken aback Thursday when Russia’s top diplomat Sergey Lavrov declared that the war in Ukraine “was launched against us.” He was immediately met with laughter and shouts of “Come on!” from the crowd.

The Kremlin has attempted to justify the invasion by pointing to NATO’s expansion and blaming Ukraine…

Aaron Rodgers is one of the most talked-about players in the NFL right now. With his future uncertain, teams across the league are speculating whether or not he will be their next quarterback.

That’s surprising, given…

The debate continues to rage over the future of New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, and the latest development suggests the young signal caller is looking for more money than what was previously reported. According to Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News, Jones’s agents are asking for more than $45 million per year on a long-term deal. This makes it even more likely that the Giants will apply the non-exclusive franchise tag at some point before Tuesday’s deadline. That would give the Giants the ability to keep Jones at a one-year offer of $32.416 million — far short…

When the Detroit Pistons traded for James Wiseman earlier this season, it was a difficult decision for the Golden State Warriors and their owner Joe Lacob. Lacob had formed a close relationship with Wiseman and was not keen on trading him away, but he ultimately deferred to the Warriors’ basketball braintrust and the decision was made. In an interview with The Athletic’s Tim Kawakami, Lacob revealed that he believes the Warriors may regret the decision. “You know, we might very well regret that one, longer term or even intermediate term,” Lacob said. “But as much as I love the guy,…
