Kevin Harvick recalled a time in the 2010s when young NASCAR drivers with aspirations of the Truck Series and beyond had to make a decision. Compete for Chevrolet and Kevin Harvick Incorporated, or drive with Toyota and Kyle Busch Motorsports. There was no playing both sides. Drivers had to choose a direction. Fans in the grandstands picked a side and were distinctly divided. “You had to pick a path,” Harvick said on the latest episode of “Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour.” “You were either going KBM and Toyota or you were going KHI and Chevrolet… That is just not how it worked.” Harvick relished that competition. In fact, he helped Busch breed his team, and create the foundation for a decade-long rivalry. That contention brought out the best in both racers, and ultimately brought them closer together. After Busch, 41, suddenly passed away last Thursday, Harvick remembers him, and their relationship fondly, reminiscing with stories on “Happy Hour.” On the racetrack, Harvick and Busch were always foes. The levels of distaste, however, fluctuated. They were involved in what Harvick referred to as a “heavy war,” stemming from a wreck during a 2005 race in Dover, Delaware. But when Busch wanted to go down the route of starting his own racing team, Harvick put his differences to the side. Busch called Harvick, asking: “Can you tell me how you run your team?” Harvick “bridged the gap,” welcoming Busch into his race shop, sharing his budgets, giving him “everything he had.” In true antagonist fashion, Harvick said, Busch “stole” some of his employees, hiring them to his new team. And thus, Kyle Busch Motorsports was born, and a new rivalry burgeoned. Busch and Harvick pushed each other, making the other a better “driver, owner, and teammate,” Harvick said. “Probably the best thing that happened in my career,” Harvick said, “was I had a competitor that wouldn’t back down like Kyle did.” Ultimately, they raced one another 933 times in NASCAR’s top series. They learned to respect one another, and even let their guard down off the track. “We sat on those two sides and competed, but you know, off the racetrack, we had fun,” Harvick said. “We had a good time, and good conversations. It took a long time to get to the point of being cordial, but it definitely got to that point at the end.”Latest Sports News from FOX Sports

Legislators are being held after school this month and the state is paying for the extra time because the governor did not do his homework.
If that seems backward, you’re right.
Gov. Mike Dunleavy ordered lawmakers to stay late after the regular legislative session ended because he insists that they approve major big-time relief from property taxes for the owners of the proposed, possible, maybe someday Alaska North Slope natural gas pipeline and export project.
The governor believes the multi-multibillion-dollar project will go ahead if the state House and Senate approve a tax relief package during a special legislative session. That’s all it needs, he keeps telling Alaskans. Cut the property taxes and all the parts will fit together and construction can start.
He talks as if building and paying for the most expensive oil or gas project ever in the history of North America is as simple as snapping together an Erector Set, Lincoln Logs or Lego model.
Dunleavy’s instructions booklet includes his salesman’s vision of the finished project, telling Alaska’s population center around Anchorage and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough that residents and businesses will enjoy affordable natural gas for heat and electricity for decades to come.
If it were that easy, the pipeline would have been built a long time ago. There is a lot more to do than just writing off most of the property taxes — such as developing realistic construction cost estimates and schedules, contracting customers to buy the gas and obtaining committed pledges of investment and financing totaling tens of billions of dollars.
It’s hard to see how a couple billion dollars that the governor believes is all the project can afford to pay in lieu of property taxes over 30 years can make or break a venture that could take in $300 billion in gross revenues over that same period.
Getting the gas project would be good for Alaska’s economy, no question about it, but getting there takes homework. And that’s where the governor skipped class.
It’s not like the project came as a surprise to anyone who completed the assigned reading. The state has been looking at what it could do to make the pipeline happen for a long time, most recently during Dunleavy’s six years as a state senator and all eight years of his two terms in the governor’s office.
What changed last year was that a private developer named Glenfarne Group, out of New York City, stepped up to take over management and 75% ownership of the venture from the state agency that had been unsuccessful in its efforts the past decade.
And what changed over the winter was talk of needing to escape the cost of full property taxes on the project.
But what didn’t change was the governor’s laid-back approach to work. He waited until the legislative session was half over before he introduced the tax relief bill he had promised months earlier. And even when he did turn in his work, it was inadequate on facts, numbers, analysis and disclosure.
It was the kind of homework that a teacher would mark “incomplete.” Which is what the Legislature did.
Now the governor wants lawmakers to work overtime to finish his assignment. And he figures to blame legislators if the gas project does not go ahead.
Dunleavy would have a better chance at passing the class — or passing a bill — if he would just admit he slept through the lecture on gas pipeline economics and accept the blame for a late and incomplete paper.
It would be a big mistake—huge—to miss Euphoria.

Supporters will be living and dying with every touch this summer at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The tournament will feature intensity and passion in the stands that American sports fans won’t be used to seeing very often. Zlatan Ibrahimović and Tom Brady sat down ahead of the tournament this summer and covered a variety of topics, including how fans support their teams. Soccer fans around the world are extremely passionate and will be very vocal with their satisfaction — or dissatisfaction. Brady found a parallel in American sports, comparing how fans in Europe are born into supporting a club or country to supporting a college team. “I always describe European soccer as more college fanaticism because if you go to that college, you love that college forever. You’re born into that,” Brady said. “You chose that college, you’ll forever support that college. That’s, to me, what being born into one of the environments in Europe. You pick your team, and you’re with them forever. “In America, yeah, you’re with [a professional team] forever. But you also say, ‘Hey, I kind of like that team because I really like that player.’ And if you’re a LeBron James fan, wherever he went, you’re going to ultimately like that team.” The atmospheres at games in Europe are also very different. Obviously, soccer clubs are treated very differently than in Major League Soccer, but the attitude extends to other sports, as well. “I truly believe the American athlete would enjoy differently in Europe with those fans, especially your world,” said Ibrahimović, who played with LA Galaxy of the MLS for two seasons and spent the majority of his professional career in Europe. “… I mean, I know when I went in a duel with a player head-to-head, the fans wanted to come in and play one side vs. the other side.” Ibrahimović mentioned that he wonders how even a top basketball player like LeBron James would face an extremely different atmosphere in Europe. “I know basketball, you talk about LeBron with the Lakers fans and that I’ve been there, but I’ve been also in Belgrade and see a basketball game there,” Ibrahimović said. “Whoa, that’s a little bit scary compared [to the NBA]. That’s why I think that the American athlete, if he would go through there, I don’t know if he would become better. “It would be different.” In terms of how the Swedish national team was supported throughout his career, Ibrahimović had nothing but positive things to say. He appreciated how positive the Swedes were, regardless of results, although he didn’t necessarily agree with their attitudes. “Our fans in Sweden were amazing,” Ibrahimović said. “Win or lose, they were supporting you, which I find strange because when you lose, they shouldn’t support you.”Latest Sports News from FOX Sports

Even if you don’t watch Euphoria, by now you’ve probably heard about Sydney Sweeney’s OnlyFans storyline.
Showrunner Sam Levinson obviously knew that he would get a ton of free publicity by writing scenes in which the most famous sex symbol of the 2020s strips down in increasingly outrageous scenarios.
But Cassie Howard’s efforts to become the queen of adult content are now drawing criticism from an unexpected source — actual OnlyFans creators.
Speaking with Page Six, OnlyFans creator and podcast host Gracie Canaan stated that she thinks there’s “danger” in “romanticizing this job as overnight wealth.”
Canaan noted that her line of work is not for everyone, explaining that online sex work “can be just as dangerous as in-person.”
She noted that when creators share explicit photos and videos, they’re “out there” in the world.
“People can use it to blackmail you,” she said, before quipping, “Wow, I sound like a ‘don’t do drugs’ PSA!”
She also noted that it’s not as easy to rise to the top of the profession, as Cassie’s storyline might lead some to believe.
“It is running a business. It is marketing, it is sales, it is strategy. I think people don’t understand the business savvy required,” she said.
Gracie also criticized the fact that Cassie’s new career created conflict in her marriage, noting that many creators “are partnered, or married, or have kids.”
“This is another job. It can be really fun and rewarding . . . But, people don’t realize the mundanity,”
Canaan also addressed the fact that celebrities such as Shannon Elizabeth have been launching OnlyFans pages in recent months.
She notes that such big-name creators might be taking money away from people who rely on OnlyFans to put food on the table.
“The downside can be that it feels like celebrities are playing make believe in what is a lot of people’s very serious livelihoods,” she explained.
Well, in that sense, we guess Canaan can’t fault Ms. Sweeney — her nudity is bringing more attention to OnlyFans, and it’s not costing anyone any thing more than their HBO subscription!
