Who am I? Guess Premier League star No 24
Listen, I got this one - it's a Premier League player, and you're trying to guess who it is. The rules are simple: you get a new clue after each wrong guess, and the fewer clues you need, the more points you score. Three clues is a good score, four or five is exceptional. Today's player is set up by Flora Snelson from BBC Sport. You can play more quizzes on their dedicated page, and get notifications for new ones.
Can Sunderland defy the Premier League doubters again?
Sunderland were one of the stories of the 2025-26 Premier League season. Promoted from the Championship through the play-offs in May 2025, the Black Cats marked their return to the top flight after an eight-year absence with a remarkable campaign. Tipped for relegation by many, Sunderland ended the campaign in seventh to qualify for Europe for the first time since 1973.
Where would Antonelli rank among surprise F1 title winners?
Kimi Antonelli's path to becoming F1's youngest-ever world champion is looking increasingly likely. If he pulls it off, it would be a monumental achievement.
Antonelli's rise to the top is nothing short of remarkable. He's a 19-year-old driver, and his championship win would be one of the biggest upsets in recent F1 history. To put it into perspective, the last time a driver younger than 20 won the F1 title was over 50 years ago.
Among the sport's biggest surprise title wins, Kimi's potential triumph would rank right up there. Lewis Hamilton's first championship in 2008, for example, was seen as a long shot at the time. And then there was Fernando Alonso's 2005 title win, which was largely unexpected given the dominance of the Ferrari team.
If Antonelli does become the youngest F1 champion, it would be a testament to his incredible talent and dedication. His journey to the top would be an inspiration to young drivers around the world.
Bizarre ‘Move the Sticks’ podcast saga introduces the world to NFL Game Preview Guy
Subscribers to the Move the Sticks podcast feed were left confused on Tuesday night when two new episodes contending to preview the NFC East and NFC West divisions were posted. But these weren’t any ordinary podcasts. Listeners immediately suspected that the podcasts were AI-generated because of the awkward and unusual nature of the episodes. NFL preview podcasts are plentiful this time of year, but the offering from the Move the Sticks feed was somewhat confusing as the show hadn’t posted a new episode since June 4.
NFL says new "Move the Sticks" podcast was not AI-generated or hosted
The NFL found itself in the middle of a bizarre AI controversy on Wednesday, given the suspicions that new content posted on the Move The Sticks podcast feed seemed to be machine-generated. Although the league had not initially responded to an inquiry from Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports regarding the question of whether the episode consisted of a human voice or an artificial one, the NFL issued a statement after the article was initially posted.
