It was one of the greatest sports weekends of all time.

The New York Knicks win their first NBA Championship since 1973, exorcising demons I’ve encountered since 1994.

The Carolina Hurricanes went to Vegas to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their only Stanley Cup… and came home with another Stanley Cup.

The U.S. men’s soccer team played its first match of the 2026 World Cup, a convincing win that had me practicing my cry of gooooooal on multiple occasions.

All of this upstaged, of course, by the event of the century, UFC Freedom 250, a full slate of mixed martial arts contests held on the South Lawn of the White House. God that’s gotta be the most awesome thing anybody’s ever come up with.

Summer, we have set the bar high.
