Brewers Send 5-Word Christian Yelich Message After Rockies Game
Brewers Send 5-Word Christian Yelich Message After Rockies Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Milwaukee Brewers designated hitter Christian Yelich is in his thirteenth major-league season after making his debut in 2013 at age 21. Advertisement Originally selected in the first round of the 2010 MLB Draft by the Marlins, he spent five seasons in Miami before an offseason trade sent him to Milwaukee ahead of the 2018 campaign. In Milwaukee he immediately elevated his game—batting .326 with 36 homers and 110 RBIs on his way to NL MVP honors in 2018—and transitioned that success into his current nine-year, $215 million contract that includes a mutual option for 2029. Yelich has said repeatedly he wants to finish his career in Milwaukee and his contract is indicative of that. Brewers designated hitter Christian Yelich (22)© Benny Sieu-USA TODAY Sports During Friday's 10-6 win against the Colorado Rockies, Yelich extended his hitting streak to ten games, collecting 19 hits—including eight extra-base knocks—and 17 RBIs over that span as Milwaukee has surged to a 7–3 record over those contests. Advertisement The team's official X account congratulated Yelich and wrote, 'This guy is a MACHINE.' Since joining the Brew Crew, Yelich has been named an All-Star three times (2018, 2019, 2024) and claimed a Gold Glove in left field before his transition to designated hitter. Over his career, Yelich has a lifetime .286 batting average, accumulating 219 home runs and 805 RBIs in 1,543 games. He has led the Brewers to six postseason appearances out of his seven Milwaukee seasons, but is still searching for his first National League pennant, falling just a game short in 2018. As Milwaukee eyes another October run, Yelich's bat and clubhouse leadership will once again be pivotal to the team's success.

Bolton's 'father of fitness' to take on epic challenge to mark landmark birthday
A Bolton man who pioneered the fitness industry in the UK is spending his 90th birthday this summer facing a fitness challenge to raise charity cash. Ken Heathcote, who started Bolton Health Studio in the 1950s which became a blueprint for gyms across the country, is taking part in the Not Out at 90 Challenge. On July 18, he and his grandson Sam will be swimming 90 lengths of Bolton's Nuffield gym before going to Elton reservoir in Bury to swim a further 90 lengths in open water. On a separate day, Sam, who lives in London, will also be lifting 90,000 lb and playing nine sets of tennis. These are all to boost the charities involved: Cancer Research, The Stroke Association and Alzheimer's Research UK. There are also around 30 challenges being taken up by local people keen to back Ken's birthday fundraising efforts. READ MORE: Bolton's Ken Heathcote completes three epic swims Chef Michel Roux big fan of guru Ken Heathcote Bolton's "Fitness Father" tells life story Ken and Sam are carrying on a family tradition of extreme sporting achievement which goes back more than five decades and has raised thousands and thousands for charities. In 1970 Ken ran a marathon between Preston and Morecambe with around 30 competitors and no drinks stands. He tackled all kinds of personal challenges on his milestone birthdays, all aided by his late wife Brenda. (Image: NQ) Ken even ran from John o' Groats in Scotland to Lands End for charity – a feat which was filmed and made into a TV programme. Just before his 84th birthday, Ken triumphed in the Great North Swim, tackling the 5k length of Lake Windermere among 10,000 swimmers. He still swims 90 lengths daily and insists that his positive mindset 'ego and desire to help others' keeps him going. Farnworth-born Ken attributes his own fitness and determination to his father, who first took him swimming – even when the local pool's heating system broke down and the water plummeted to just a couple of degrees. 'He told me 'just do one length' and that one led to another and another. I've used that principle ever since,' he explained. His commitment to raising money for charity began when he was a young bricklayer working at the Christe Hospital and he was sent to fetch some water. 'I wandered onto a ward and there were all these children – from around six to 15 year-olds – all without hair,' he recalled. 'The matron told me they were all suffering from leukaemia and having chemotherapy and that none of the boys would reach 21. I had no idea. It really opened my eyes. 'Ever since, I've wanted to raise money, initially for the children – I can still see them now - and then for other causes.' Follow Ken and Sam's journey on Instagram and TikTok @Notoutat90

Miami Facing Groundbreaking NIL Lawsuit Over Alleged Player Tampering
Miami Facing Groundbreaking NIL Lawsuit Over Alleged Player Tampering originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The ever-evolving world of college athletics, particularly NIL, may have reached a legal tipping point. The University of Miami now finds itself at the center of a groundbreaking lawsuit filed by the University of Wisconsin and its NIL collective, focused on alleged tampering involving cornerback Xavier Lucas. Advertisement According to a report from Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger, the University of Wisconsin and its NIL collective filed a complaint in state circuit court, claiming 'tortious interference' by Miami. The complaint alleges that the Hurricanes made impermissible contact with Lucas while he was still under contract with Wisconsin. This is believed to be the first legal action of its kind directly tied to NIL-era tampering. Wisconsin cornerback Xavier Lucas (6) is shown during the first quarter of their game against South Dakota Saturday, September 7 , 2024 at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Hoffman/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel At the heart of the case is Lucas, a South Florida native who signed a new contract with Wisconsin in December before transferring to Miami in January, without formally entering the NCAA transfer portal. The Badgers allege that Miami knowingly engaged with Lucas despite his existing agreement, which resulted in him breaching that deal and transferring. 'Miami interfered with UW-Madison's relationship with Student-Athlete A by making impermissible contact with him and engaging in tampering,' the suit reads, with Wisconsin seeking 'unspecified damages, transparency, and accountability.' Advertisement Whether the courts agree remains to be seen. However, legal experts and college football insiders believe this case could set a precedent for how tampering is defined and enforced moving forward. For now, Lucas remains eligible to play for the Hurricanes this fall, where he's expected to make an immediate impact on a secondary that allowed the sixth-most passing touchdowns per game in the ACC last season. Lucas was 247Sports' 20th overall player and first-ranked cornerback in the transfer portal this offseason. His addition was viewed as a major win for new Hurricanes defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman's defense, and it now carries potentially significant off-field implications. As the NIL era continues to evolve, Miami's role in this case could shape how schools recruit, retain, and protect their athletes and navigate the legal lines surrounding NIL, player contracts, and tampering. The Hurricanes have not yet issued a public statement on the lawsuit.
