Tony Reali regrets saying ‘kids in cages’ on ‘Around the Horn’
negativeSports
Tony Reali, the longtime host of ESPN's Around the Horn, is walking back his use of the phrase "kids in cages" during a recent episode. The term—often tied to debates over U.S. immigration policy—sparked backlash, and Reali now says he regrets the wording, calling it "oversimplified" and acknowledging it distracted from the show’s usual sports-focused banter.
Editor’s Note: Even in sports talk, offhand comments can spill into heated political territory. Reali’s stumble shows how loaded language—even when used casually—can derail conversations and force public figures into damage control. For fans, it’s a reminder that sports media isn’t always an escape from divisive issues.
Arman Tsarukyan open to UFC fight vs. 'big name' Paddy Pimblett this summer
neutralSports
Rising UFC lightweight Arman Tsarukyan says he’s game to fight fan favorite Paddy Pimblett this summer—but he’s not interested in waiting around. Tsarukyan, who’s been climbing the ranks with impressive wins, sees Pimblett as a "big name" opportunity to boost his profile, though he’d prefer it happen sooner rather than later.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about two fighters potentially squaring off—it’s a classic UFC storyline where an established star (Pimblett) could face a dangerous up-and-comer (Tsarukyan). If it happens, it’s a high-stakes matchup: Pimblett gets tested against a serious contender, while Tsarukyan gets the spotlight he’s been chasing. For fight fans, it’s exactly the kind of clash that makes MMA exciting.

2 Senators trade candidates after Maple Leafs series loss
neutralSports
The Ottawa Senators showed real promise this season, breaking a seven-year playoff drought and pushing the division-winning Toronto Maple Leafs to six games in the first round. While the loss stings, the team’s young core proved they’re ready to compete—and now, front-office moves are on the horizon. The article highlights two Senators players who might be trade candidates as the team looks to build on this progress.
Editor’s Note: Playoff exits always spark roster changes, but this one’s different—the Senators finally look like a team on the rise. Trading pieces now could mean upgrading for a deeper run next year, or it might signal tough choices about who fits their long-term vision. For fans, it’s a sign that management isn’t settling for "just happy to be here."
Guardians' right-hander Ben Lively will have Tommy John surgery and miss rest of the season
negativeSports
Cleveland Guardians pitcher Ben Lively is done for the season after deciding to undergo Tommy John surgery to repair his right elbow. The team announced the news ahead of Friday’s game, though they haven’t set a surgery date yet. Lively, who’s been on the injured list since mid-May with a flexor tendon strain, got a second opinion from Dr. Keith Meister in Texas before making the call.
Editor’s Note: Losing Lively is a tough blow for the Guardians’ pitching staff—he’d been a solid contributor this season. Tommy John surgery typically means a 12-18 month recovery, so this isn’t just a 2024 problem; it could affect his availability well into next year too. For a team in the thick of a playoff race, every arm matters, and this news stings.
