Warzone and Black Ops 7 Season 4 Reloaded live countdown
As mentioned before, the Warzone and Black Ops 7 Season 4 Reloaded is releasing on June 4, 2026, at 9 am PT. Here’s a live countdown to make it easier for you:
Coming off two wins in a row for the first time since 2019, Deontay Wilder is in the market for another big fight.
Wilder scored a rare points victory over Derek Chisora in Manchester last month, keeping a career alive that many felt had ended following back-to-back losses to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.
With the confidence boost, ‘The Bronze Bomber’, 40, has said he will make a push to become a two-time world champion before he hangs up the gloves for good.

A shot against unified champion Oleksandr Usyk, though it was discussed, is unlikely due to the Ukrainian’s list of mandatory challengers. Wilder is instead best placed to get himself a good ranking and look to pick up a vacant belt should the opportunity present itself in the next 18 months.
One man who is willing to risk his number 2 ranking with the WBA is fellow American Jarrell Miller. The controversial heavyweight known as ‘Big Baby’ told Play UK he is still chasing the fight after years of trying.
“Anybody that’s willing to get in there and throw hands has something in the tank. He’s still dangerous regardless. But I’ve been asking him to fight for years, so if he’s got old overnight, that’s his problem. I’m still going to punch him in the face.”
Miller went on to say that he was not overly impressed by Wilder’s recent showing in the UK, but says the win keeps their potential rivalry alive.
“I don’t think Chisora was the same Chisora that fought Joe Joyce and Otto Wallin. Sometimes fighters get old overnight. Maybe he wasn’t as motivated for this one like he usually was. I don’t know.
“I did expect a little more from Chisora in that fight, but it is what it is. Wilder got the win, so it’s better for me now. I’m going to try to make a big American clash and we duke it out.”
Having become infamous for failing doping tests before a cancelled fight with Joshua, ‘Big Baby’ represents a big name in the division. With Wilder’s highlight reel of knockouts and both men’s ability to sell a fight, the clash would indeed be big in America.

Cristopher Sanchez extended his franchise-record scoreless streak to 50 2/3 innings before finally allowing a run, and the Philadelphia Phillies hit a pair of late homers to squeak out a 3-2 win over the visiting San Diego Padres on Wednesday.
Sanchez (7-2) did not allow a run in May and found out earlier Wednesday that he was named the National League’s Pitcher of the Month. He was just as sharp in his first June outing, putting up zeroes until Jackson Merrill’s RBI single with two outs in the seventh.
In all, the Dominican left-hander yielded one and four hits in seven frames, walking one and striking out eight. His scoreless streak is the fifth-longest in major league history and the longest ever by a left-handed pitcher.
Sanchez did not allow a baserunner until the third and did not give up his first hit until the fourth. Walker Buehler, meanwhile, held Philadelphia scoreless until the fifth, when doubles by Bryson Stott and Adolis Garcia gave the hosts a 1-0 lead.
Sanchez struck out two more in the sixth and then got the first two outs of the seventh before Ty France doubled down the third base line. Merrill followed with a base hit to left, but Brandon Marsh’s throw was too late as Sanchez’s scoreless streak came to an end.

After a lengthy ovation from the Citizens Bank Park crowd, Sanchez retired Jase Bowen on a liner to left to end his night after only 84 pitches (64 strikes).
The game did not stay tied for long, however, as J.T. Realmuto homered off Jason Adam (2-1) to open the seventh. Three batters later, Kyle Schwarber added a solo shot of his own – his MLB-leading 23rd homer – to make it 3-1.
San Diego got one run back against Brad Keller in the eighth before Jhoan Duran slammed the door in the ninth for his 14th save.

Buehler, who spent a portion of last season with the Phillies, allowed one run and four hits in six innings. He struck out six and walked two.
The Padres have lost eight of their last nine games, including all five they’ve played against Philadelphia.
Archetype of the modern T20 revolution and former Indian Premier League (IPL) Chairman Lalit Modi has issued a stark ultimatum regarding the survival of cricket’s longest format. He warned that traditional, bilateral red-ball series are on an absolute path to extinction unless radical commercial interventions are introduced to recapture global audiences. Speaking to ANI in London, the 62-year-old sports administrator argued that franchise-driven models are no longer just an alternative, but the necessary lifeline needed to subsidise and sustain Test cricket’s heritage.
“I am saying that Test matches on bilateral will die,” Lalit Modi stated bluntly. “The next prediction of mine is that now they should allow IPL-type (T20-type) Test matches. The next thing that they should be doing is for Test matches to come in.”
Lalit Modi’s blueprint for the future of international cricket requires a ruthless pruning of the calendar, specifically identifying One-Day Internationals (ODIs) as obsolete dead weight.

“One-Day (ODI) should die. The test should survive. Test is a very important part,” he insisted.
Lalit Modi acknowledged that red-ball cricket cannot compete financially with short-form leagues, but argued that sustainability lies in franchise corporate backing rather than government boards.
“Unfortunately, (Test cricket) will die if it’s not taken over by club cricket because of no viewership on a global level. So it will be a loss leader. I’m not saying everything has to make money… You don’t have to have profit in everything. You’ve got to do something for the game too.”
Lalit Modi’s warning lands at a time when the traditional cricket calendar is facing unprecedented squeeze from franchise leagues and ICC events.

The structural vulnerabilities of the five-day game were fully exposed earlier this year when a massive 124-day lull separated the fifth Ashes Test in Sydney from the subsequent Pakistan-Bangladesh series, a competitive gap almost mirroring the historic shutdowns seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This prolonged red-ball drought was primarily driven by scheduling conflicts with the IPL 2026 season and the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, underscoring franchise cricket’s absolute dominance over prime broadcast windows.
To bridge the generational gap, Lalit Modi reiterated his highly debated proposal, previously floated on The Overlap Podcast alongside former England captain Michael Vaughan, to merge IPL fan loyalty with the red-ball game.
“Let the IPL teams own Test cricket teams,” Lalit Modi explained. “You got the youngsters, you got the loyalty factors… At least play one [exhibition] in a season between each other just to get their youngsters back into the game. That’s going to be like club cricket. You have club cricket in everything, but the primary has to be country versus country.”

For the World Championship format, he proposed a strict, premier country-vs-country format played globally every year to preserve national pride and elite athletic standards. For IPL owners, he proposed field-independent Test squads for limited windows to engage younger, digital-first audiences by leveraging T20 club loyalties.
Lalit Modi also proposed shifting five-day Tests to four-day, day-night matches to counter declining stadium attendance and align with modern media consumption habits.
“The only way Test cricket will work, somebody’s going to shoot me for saying this. First time I’m saying this. Let the IPL teams own Test cricket teams. You got the youngsters, you got the loyalty factors. You play your country versus country, without doubt, that’s premier. I’m saying you have it as a world championship that goes around the world every year, you play those without doubt, but also so that it doesn’t disappear, you have exhibition matches starting off with it–teams playing test cricket. At least play one in a season against each other just to get their youngsters back into the game. That’s going to be like club cricket. You have club cricket in everything. But the primary has to be country versus country,” Lalit Modi had said.
He reminded administrators that modern audiences simply lack the luxury or patience to watch five days of cricket under the sun when global sport is available on demand, emphasising that the “hook” of the game must change if it intends to survive.

Shreyas Iyer is all set to become the Indian cricket team skipper for the T20I series against Ireland and England with Tilak Varma replacing Axar Patel as vice-captain, according to a report by Dainik Jagran. The report claimed that Suryakumar Yadav will be removed from captaincy just months after winning the T20 World Cup 2026 and he will be informed of the decision on Thursday as the BCCI Apex Council will meet online to discuss the captaincy situation. The report went on to claim that the decision regarding Shreyas becoming the captain has already been taken and it will be ratified at the meeting.
According to the report, head coach Gautam Gambhir wanted Sanju Samson to replace Suryakumar as the T20I captain but BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar was not convinced. Some members of the selection committee were also reportedly not in agreement with Gambhir as they believed that Samson has not been consistent enough.
Sources claimed that although Samson played a big role in clinching the T20 World Cup for India, several selectors did not consider him to be a long-term captaincy option. They also believed that it was too early to trust him with the responsibility.
Shreyas, who was not a part of the T20 World Cup-winning squad, led Punjab Kings to the IPL 2025 final where they lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. In IPL 2026, the team were off to a sensational start but failed to reach the Playoffs after losing six consecutive matches.

Iyer was a top performer for his side with the bat as he scored 498 runs in 14 matches at a strike rate of 168.81. He scored a century and five half-centuries and will reportedly replace Suryakumar in the No. 4 position.
The report also claimed that there were no discussions over a possible call-up for Rajat Patidar even after impressing with the bat and leading RCB to two consecutive IPL titles.

The New York Knicks began their pursuit of their first title since 1973 on Wednesday night in a matchup against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs.
The Spurs clung to a seven-point lead at halftime, setting up a back-and-forth second half and a tight fourth quarter. But amid the tension of a tightly contested fourth quarter, an overexcited fan briefly stole the spotlight in pursuit of what he hoped would be a once-in-a-lifetime photo.
The unidentified fan ran onto the court midway through the game’s final quarter, appearing to try to take a selfie next to Wembanyama.

The fan came from the sideline opposite the team benches, starting from behind the play and running into San Antonio’s offensive end. The person was quickly pulled from the court by two security guards, and it did not appear the person made any contact with Wembanyama or any New York players.

Play was stopped for about a minute before the game resumed with a jump ball. The fan was taken out of the court area through a baseline tunnel.
Earlier in the game, Knicks guard Jalen Brunson limped to the locker room after Spurs forward Harrison Barnes was pushed into his right knee. Brunson returned in the second quarter with his knee heavily wrapped, then appeared to tweak his left ankle later in the game after a Spurs player stepped on him while he contested a shot. He stayed in the game after the second scare.

Jalen Brunson scored 30 points as the New York Knicks erased a 14-point second-half deficit to stun the San Antonio Spurs 105-95 and take a 1-0 lead in the NBA Finals on Wednesday.
Knicks talisman Brunson shrugged off an early injury scare to inspire a magnificent fightback and give New York a precious early advantage in the best-of-seven series, with game two set for Friday.
Brunson upstaged Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama with a masterful clutch fourth quarter display, scoring 13 points in the final frame as the Knicks closed out a win to silence an expectant home crowd in Texas.
The game was tied with just over two minutes to go, but Brunson marshalled the Knicks brilliantly and a late burst of scoring put the game out of the Spurs’ reach.

“Just sticking together — it wasn’t really our night and wasn’t really my night most of the night but we kept finding a way, kept chipping away,” Brunson said afterwards.
The Knicks playmaker said the team’s “chemistry” had helped them climb out of their 14-point hole in the third quarter.
“Just knowing we have each other’s back — there’s a lot of things we could have done better, but I think our togetherness was really the biggest difference,” added Brunson, who left the court in the first quarter with a knee injury before returning.
Brunson was one of four Knicks to finish in double figures, with Karl-Anthony Towns adding 18 points, OG Anunoby 17 and Landry Shamet 13.

Wembanyama led San Antonio’s scoring with 26 points but had a poor shooting night, making just 6-of-21 from the field while pulling down 12 rebounds with three blocks.
“I was bad tonight, it’s not more complicated than that,” said Wembanyama, who denied nerves had been a factor in the Spurs defeat.
“It definitely felt special for sure, but nothing close that could be an excuse,” Wembanyama said. “It was not a factor in our performance.”
Stephon Castle had 17 points and Dylan Harper and Julian Champagnie added 16 points apiece.

Brunson injury scare
An absorbing first half saw the Knicks make a bright start to take a 14-7 lead before San Antonio hit their stride with a 9-0 run to claim their first lead of the game at 16-14.
A pair of three-pointers from Champagnie helped the Spurs suddenly accelerate into a 10-point lead with two minutes remaining in the first quarter.

The Knicks were then given a huge scare in the final two minutes of the first when Brunson left the game with a worrying-looking knee injury sustained after a collision with San Antonio’s Harrison Barnes.
Brunson returned to the game in the second quarter, and although there was another injury scare when he appeared to hurt an ankle after a layup, he remained in the game to play the decisive role.
After trailing 55-48 at half-time, the Knicks were in danger of conceding an insurmountable lead as the Spurs built a 14-point advantage in the third quarter.
But they were handed a lifeline when Wembanyama limped off after taking a knock to the knee, seizing that opportunity to cut the lead to single digits.

The Knicks sustained that momentum when Wembanyama re-entered the game, and the score was tied at 76-76 heading to the fourth.
A pair of threes from Anunoby helped New York take an 86-81 lead, and soon the Knicks were eight points clear at 94-86 after a sublime Brunson layup.
Yet San Antonio hit back with a Wembanyama three and a layup, and the Spurs edged into a 95-94 lead with just over two minutes left.
But Brunson’s three-pointer put the Knicks back in front at 97-95 and the Knicks rattled in eight more unanswered points to claim the win.
Mike Leach, the larger-than-life coach credited with popularizing the Air Raid offense and transforming modern college football, has been nominated for the 2027 College Football Hall of Fame class just under four years after his death.
Leach’s final coaching stop was at Mississippi State before his death in December 2022.
The National Football Foundation has released the ballot for next year’s class, with the class set to be officially unveiled in January. The list features 80 players and nine coaches from the Football Bowl Subdivision and 99 players and 39 coaches from lower levels.

Under the previous rules, Leach fell short of the eligibility requirements. However, under the revised criteria, he now qualifies for consideration. The NFF announced last year that the minimum career winning percentage required for coaches would decrease from .600 to .595, beginning with the 2027 class.
Leach posted a .596 winning percentage during his head coaching tenures at Texas Tech, Washington State and Mississippi State. He finished his career with a 158-107 record.

A player is eligible 10 full seasons after his last year in college and must have received first-team All-America honors by a major selector. The nominee’s college football achievements are a prime consideration, but his post-football record as a citizen is also taken into account.
Among other FBS coaches on the ballot are Larry Coker, whose Miami team won the 2001 season’s national championship; Dennis Franchione, who made stops at TCU, Alabama and Texas A&M; Ralph Friedgen, who led Maryland to bowls in seven of his 10 seasons; Darryl Rogers, 1977 Big Ten coach of the year at Michigan State; Jackie Sherrill, all-time wins leader at Mississippi State; and Tommy Tuberville, who led powerful Auburn teams of the 2000s.

IYO SKY was the first WWE star to advance in the 2026 Queen of the Ring Tournament. The former Money in the Bank winner toppled Giulia, Roxanne Perez, and Lash Legend in a first-round matchup on RAW.
She’ll face the winner of a group consisting of Bayley, Kiana James, Jacy Jayne, and Raquel Rodriguez in the next round. The other side of the bracket features two current women’s champions.
Thanks for the submission!

Liv Morgan is in the tournament instead of defending her title. She faces Becky Lynch, Chelsea Green, and Alexa Bliss in a first-round matchup. The final bracket sees Sol Ruca, the current Women’s Intercontinental Champion, taking on Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, and Lyra Valkyria.

Valkyria and Ruca will battle over the title next week, meaning Lyra is sure to lose. With some big names still alive, the following three options are the best choices to win, and four others are not the most ideal.
WWE’s Real Plan for Bloodline Leaked? – Click Here
#7. Jade Cargill shouldn’t be Queen of the Ring again
As mentioned above, Cargill faces Ruca, Flair, and Valkyria with a chance to advance on the line. The Storm is coming off two losses to Rhea Ripley with the WWE Women’s Title on the line.
She’s had her chances to regain the title and shouldn’t get yet another via winning Queen of the Ring. Cargill will probably go after Mami again on SmackDown for yet another chance.
Advertisement
Along with her quest to regain the title has been a growing angle with Charlotte Flair. Officials clearly want the two to square off, but a one-on-one match will have to wait. She had her time as champion and won last year. Cargill is a bad choice to win in 2026.
#6. Establishing Jacy Jayne and Fatal Influence as major players
Some may not consider Jacy Jayne as the future, but they’d be wrong. She’s among the most complete performers in all of WWE and is a great heel.
It took her a long time to make the main roster, but the last year was spent building her esteem as a top player. Joining SmackDown with Fatal Influence is a big deal, especially since they targeted Flair, Ripley, Bliss, and the Women’s Tag Team Champions, Paige and Brie Bella.
To establish the trio as threats, Jayne could win the Queen of the Ring. She’d oppose Ripley and give her a good challenge. It could also prolong the Bliss/Flair partnership since WWE wants Flair and Ripley together at the moment.
Advertisement
It would also be a shocking choice, which is something WWE needs to do more of this year. Fans won’t take her seriously if she’s buried by other names in her first big chance for a title opportunity. That would be a mistake.
#5. Too much, too soon for Sol Ruca
The simple fact that Ruca has the Women’s Intercontinental Championship means she’d be a bad choice as the 2026 Queen of the Ring.
It’d be like the heavy, never-ending push Roman Reigns endured right away as a single star. She’s exciting to some, but already has a title in under two months on RAW.
Giving her another huge accolade so soon would reek of favoritism instead of spreading out opportunities to the deserving women on the roster. Several other women in the tournament need it more.
Advertisement
#4. Lyra Valkyria breaks through
Speaking of other women on the roster, Lyra Valkyria has been embroiled in never-ending matches with members of the Judgment Day. She hasn’t been able to win tag team gold with Bayley, so some cracks could emerge to break them up.
Lyra has perhaps the tallest task in her first-round matchup. She has to face Flair, Cargill, and the current golden girl, Ruca. Even with Ruca being newer, Valkyria is the underdog among the four women.
Finally breaking through again to win the Queen of the Ring would set Lyra up as a top face. She did great work against Becky Lynch and made the finals in 2024. It could be her year in 2026.
#3. Charlotte Flair doesn’t need another title shot
WWE is already teasing another showdown between Flair and Ripley. They’ve battled over titles a few times already, but writers have put them together again since last year’s WarGames.
Advertisement
If Flair didn’t win the 2025 Women’s Rumble and titles on 14 other occasions, it’d be fine for her to win this year’s tournament. Her nickname is The Queen, so it would make sense.
Another issue is that Flair can get a title shot whenever she wants due to her spot with bookers. She’s one of the top stars and is always a priority.
#2. IYO SKY wins the 2026 WWE Queen of the Ring
Having IYO SKY win the Queen of the Ring Tournament would be a smart move. She’s one of the most popular women in wrestling and is on her own again on RAW.
WWE used her more as a side player in the Ripley/Cargill feud for WrestleMania. It was so bad that SKY didn’t even get booked on the card. It’s a massive error since she walked into the show the year before as a champion.
Advertisement
SKY winning and challenging Morgan would be a match worthy of SummerSlam. Winning and selecting Ripley could also reopen that angle if officials think it’s necessary.
#1. WWE makes a bad call with Liv Morgan
The fact that WWE put Liv Morgan in the Queen of the Ring Tournament is maddening. They should have made her defend the Women’s World Title instead, since she hasn’t put it up for grabs once since winning it.
She claims she’s in it to prove she’s the greatest women’s champion of all time. It’s a heel move, but having her win the tournament would be a terrible mistake. Morgan has feuded with Ripley numerous times.
Having her win also means she’s currently more important than the rest of the roster. That’s not true, making her one of the worst options to win.

Toronto announced after Wednesday’s loss to the Atlanta Braves that Mason Fluharty will start Thursday’s series finale as it looks to avoid a series sweep (7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+).
It will mark the third time this season that Fluharty will open a game for the Blue Jays. He previously did so on April 4 against the Chicago White Sox and on May 16 against the Detroit Tigers.
Fluharty, 24, has a 3.97 ERA and 30 strikeouts over 22.2 innings of work in 2026.
A fifth-round pick of the Blue Jays in 2022, Fluharty has allowed just one run over his last 16 appearances.

It is unclear how Toronto plans to handle the bulk duties beyond the six-foot-two southpaw, but Chad Dallas was with the team Wednesday in Atlanta on the taxi squad.
After being acquired in a trade with the Minnesota Twins earlier Wednesday, right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson isn’t expected to arrive in time to pitch on Thursday.

The Minnesota Vikings employed wide receiver Jalen Reagor in 2022, and four years later, he will try on the Miami Dolphins for size. The once-promising wideout hasn’t totally blossomed in his career, but he keeps getting jobs, and Jeff Hafley’s team awaits.
Reagor may not have too many NFL chances left, so he should probably make the most of this summer in Miami, especially as a special teamer.
Miami Gives Reagor Another Summer Shot

Reagor to MIA
Reagor to Miami is official. Associated Presspublished Tuesday, “The Miami Dolphins signed Jalen Reagor on Tuesday to add another receiving option for new quarterback Malik Willis. Reagor, selected 21st overall by Philadelphia in 2020, should bolster Miami’s thin receiving room, which lost stars Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle amid a roster overhaul under new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan.”

“Reagor caught 64 passes for 695 yards and three touchdowns in his first two pro seasons with the Eagles before being traded to the Vikings in 2022, where he carved more of a role as a punt returner with a loaded Minnesota receiving room that included star Justin Jefferson — who was selected one pick after Reagor in 2020 — Adam Thielen and K.J. Osborn.”
It’s Reagor’s fifth team in seven seasons.
Career for Reagor So Far
Advertisement
Reagor’s career has landed in a pretty common NFL spot: former 1st-Round pick, sweet athlete, not much of a game-changer on offense.
He hung out with the Chargers in 2024 after showing up in September, playing eight games and snagging seven passes for 100 yards. That pretty much sums up his whole career. Over five seasons, Reagor has 86 catches for 1,037 yards and 4 touchdowns, plus 97 rushing yards and 1,134 yards from scrimmage. His stats never quite lived up to where he was drafted, but he keeps getting jobs because that speed always turns heads.

His best year was still his rookie season in Philly, when he caught 31 passes for 396 yards. Since then, his offensive role has gotten smaller. Minnesota barely used him in 2022. New England gave him a quick look in 2023, where he showed more promise as a returner than a receiver. Los Angeles just saw him as a backup.
And, yes, there’s always that shadow. Reagor will forever be linked to Philadelphia picking him one spot before Justin Jefferson. He’s not being judged like a hot prospect anymore. Now, he’s a role player trying to stick around.
The Dolphins’ [Bad] WR Corps
Advertisement
The Dolphins will be begging for a wide receiver to emerge in 2026, freshly equipped with Willis at quarterback. Here’s the group in June:
Malik Washington
Tutu Atwell
Jalen Tolbert
Chris Bell
Jalen Reagor
Caleb Douglas
Kevin Coleman Jr.
Terrace Marshall Jr.
Theo Wease Jr.
Tahj Washington
Donaven McCulley
AJ Henning
Yes, that’s a real NFL wide receiving corps that Miami somehow thinks will work.
DolphinsWire‘s Mike Masala wrote last month about Douglas in particular, “The Miami Dolphins added four rookie wide receivers this offseason, three in the 2026 NFL draft and one as an undrafted free agent, who they hope will not only make the team out of camp but make an impact in their first season. Caleb Douglas was the first of these rookies to join the roster when Miami used a third-round pick on the Texas Tech wideout, and while there’s plenty of reason to be excited about his prospects, he had one big issue in college — drops.”
“In two years with the Red Raiders, Douglas caught 114 passes for 1,723 yards and 13 touchdowns while earning All-Big 12 honors once. Now, in Miami, he has a chance to be the team’s top wide receiver in Week 1. He just needs to limit those drops and show what he’s capable of.”
If Reagor Can Make a WR Roster, It’s Probably MIA

This is the best possible situation for Reagor because a) There is no clear-cut WR1 and perhaps not even a WR2 b) It’s a test for Reagor; if he can’t cut it on this WR roster, his days in the NFL are numbered.

Mandatory Credit: Scott Galvin-Imagn Images
Because of his special teams versatility, Reagor actually has a reasonable shot of making the Dolphins’ final roster in late August. He’s unlikely to break out and finally fulfill his 1st-Round draft stock from 2020, but he should be able to carve out a small role in Miami.
If the Dolphins waive him in three months, this might be the end of the road — unless Reagor wants to try the UFL or CFL.
