What's good, sports fanatics? I'm Mike, and you're tuned into the spiciest sports tea on the airwaves—it's your daily Sports Hangover update for February 27, 2025.
First up, WNBA legend Diana Taurasi has announced her retirement at 42. With a career boasting six Olympic gold medals and the title of all-time leading scorer, Taurasi leaves the court with a legacy that's nothing short of iconic. Fellow ballers like LeBron James and Caitlin Clark are singing her praises, and rightfully so. Enjoy your well-deserved rest, White Mamba.
In college hoops, Rick Pitino and guard Kadary Richmond have formed an unlikely duo, propelling St. John's to a historic season. Despite battling injuries, Richmond's been on fire, averaging 17.8 points and showcasing leadership that even Pitino can't ignore. Looks like this partnership is paying off big time for the Red Storm.
Switching to the gridiron, rumors were swirling about NFL legend Rob Gronkowski eyeing a comeback with the Denver Broncos. But Gronk shut that down faster than a defensive blitz, stating he's enjoying his time off the field. Sorry, Broncos fans, no Gronk spikes for you.
In the world of soccer, Paraag Marathe, president of 49ers Enterprises and chairman of Leeds United, addressed whispers about a potential takeover of Rangers FC. Marathe insists that if the deal goes through, Rangers won't become a feeder club for Leeds. Each team will maintain its independence, so fans can breathe easy—for now.
And now, for our "Sports Hangover Rumors" segment: Word on the street is that 'Inside the NBA' is making a major move from TNT to ESPN and ABC next season. But don't fret—the dream team of Ernie, Charles, Kenny, and Shaq isn't going anywhere. Same crew, new channel.
That's all the juice I've got for today's Sports Hangover. This is Mike, telling you to stay thirsty for more sports drama. Peace out!
