Hawaii has not seen flooding like this in more than 20 years. Across Oahu, floodwaters have damaged homes, closed roads, shuttered schools and overwhelmed emergency services. Damage estimates have already surpassed $1 billion, and the figure is still climbing. With more rain in the forecast through the weekend, conditions on the island’s North Shore and surrounding communities remain dangerous and fluid. More than 230 people have been rescued since the flooding began. Search-and-rescue operations were still underway Friday night. Flooding forces evacuations across Oahu Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi confirmed that dozens of homes were damaged Friday, though a full damage…

Otega Oweh spent most of this season proving doubters wrong. He overcame a foot injury that wiped out his preseason, quieted questions about his consistency, and carried Kentucky through the back half of the SEC schedule with the kind of production that earns real recognition. Then ESPN released its list of the top 50 players in the NCAA Tournament and slotted him at No. 38. The number is hard to defend. Oweh finished the regular season averaging 18.2 points per game overall and topped 21 during SEC play, when the competition was at its most demanding. That level of output…

A false report claiming the death of Pittsburgh Steelers icon Mean Joe Greene spread across social media on Friday, prompting an immediate response from the franchise and a wave of relief from football fans around the world.

The viral post that sparked the rumor has since been removed, but not before it reached a wide enough audience to generate an emotional reaction from fans and former players who began posting tributes before…

A legal battle over the ownership of Burna Boy’s earliest catalogue has grown significantly, with Warner Music Group now drawn into proceedings that began as a corporate dispute between Nigerian music companies. Lagos-based law firm Creative Legal, acting on behalf of 960 Music Limited, has formally notified Warner Music Group over the alleged unauthorized transfer of Burna Boy’s early catalogue, specifically his 2013 debut L.I.F.E and his 2016 follow-up Redemption.

As of the deadline…

The first full day of the 2026 NCAA tournament did what March Madness is supposed to do. Favorites sweated. Underdogs delivered. A historic program finally got its first win. And the No. 1 overall seed needed a 15-4 closing run just to avoid becoming one of the biggest upsets in tournament history. Only 47 games remain, and the bracket is already complicated. Duke survives but the warning signs are real For much of Thursday afternoon, No. 1 overall seed Duke looked like it was about to make NCAA tournament history for all the wrong reasons. No. 16 seed Siena, coached…

Dennis Rodman’s career has always defied easy categorization. Five NBA championships. A Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame induction in 2011. A brief but memorable stint in professional wrestling. And now, at 64 years old, a second Hall of Fame honor to go with the first. ESPN’s Shams Charania first reported on Friday that Rodman will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the 2026 class. The ceremony is scheduled for April 17 in Las Vegas during WrestleMania 42 weekend. Rodman joins a class that already includes Stephanie McMahon, AJ Styles, and Demolition (Ax and Smash). How…

No. 1 overall seed Duke survived what would have been one of the most stunning upsets in NCAA Tournament history Thursday, rallying from a 13-point first-half deficit to beat No. 16 seed Siena 71-65 in Greenville, South Carolina. The win was harder than any top seed should need against a 16-seed, and sophomore guard Isaiah Evans was the player most responsible for keeping it from going the other way. Duke started the game sharply, opening 4-for-4 from the floor, but the offense went cold almost immediately after. The Blue Devils managed only two three-pointers in the first half, shot 32%…

A lakefront estate in Odessa, Florida, that once belonged to former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown has been listed for sale at just under $4 million. The property, situated along Lake Keystone, hit the market on Wednesday and is being held by Nicholas Buchanan of Smith and Associates Real Estate. Brown surrendered the home as part of a settlement agreement filed with the court in December 2025, with the proceeds going toward satisfying debts owed to his creditors.
