Rory McIlroy belts Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ after 2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans win with Shane Lowry

The world No. 2 knows how to command a stage.

No city throws a party like the Big Easy.

After a boozy lunch to celebrate the 2023 Ryder Cup led Shane Lowry and Rory McIlroy to team up for this week’s 2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the good friends were in the perfect place to celebrate their playoff win over Chad Ramey and Martin Trainer on Sunday night.

McIlroy and Lowry made par on the first playoff hole at TPC Louisiana in Avondale to earn their 25th and third PGA Tour wins, respectively, and got the party started shortly after by jumping on stage to sing “Don’t Stop Believin'” by Journey.

Believe it or not, the world No. 2 wasn’t that bad.

Based on how the evening has started, fans may see McIlroy and Lowry dancing at Cafe Negril on Frenchmen Street later tonight.

A mic’d-up Josh Hart unleashed a hilariously bad rendition of Don’t Stop Believin’ during Game 4

Josh Hart traded basketball for singing just for a bit during the Knicks’ playoff win over the Cavs on Sunday.

As the New York Knicks went up 3-1 on the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday, Josh Hart couldn’t help but have some musical fun on the sideline.

New York’s 102-93 home victory over Cleveland has the team on the cusp of advancing with one more victory, and Hart’s overall strong play this postseason has been a a big boost there.

With the team playing well, Hart showed off his pipes by belting the beloved Journey pop hit “Don’t Stop Believin'” on the sideline at Madison Square Garden.

Hart jokes in the video that if he were a professional singer, he wouldn’t have been a basketball player. We’ll let you be the judge of his singing abilities.

Hart’s not quite as bad compared to some of the people we hear sing everyday, but he might still be a more formidable presence on the court than on the concert stage.

Nonetheless, he’s giving New York fans plenty to sing about as they celebrate an impressive Knicks postseason so far.

Geno Smith never lost confidence in journey back to NFL starter

On Monday, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith will become the first quarterback in 50 years to log an eight-gap between NFL starts.

On Monday night, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith will become the first NFL quarterback in 50 years to log an eight-year gap between season-opening starts. Originally selected by the New York Jets in the second round of the 2013 NFL draft, Smith has had quite the journey back into the spotlight.

It was just the hard work and I understand that there has been a gap,” Smith said during his Friday press conference. “But I’ve never lost confidence in my ability or the things that I can do on the field. My first two years I had some really great games and put a lot of great things on tape. But I was able to grow over that course of that time just being with Eli Manning and Philip Rivers and then obviously being here with Russell.”

Smith has now come full circle, preparing to square off Monday night against the quarterback he was relegated to back up over the last three seasons. For Smith, his time over the years on the bench was all about the valuable lessons learned.

“All three of them are Hall of Fame quarterbacks in my opinion,” Smith continued. “And being in the room with those guys and just learning football, being in different football systems, being around different coordinators, I was able to gain a ton of knowledge.

“That really was the most important thing to me other than anything else.”

Smith and his Seahawks are set to kick off against the Broncos Monday at 5:15 p.m. PT.
