DeAaron Fox will almost certainly be a top-five pick in Thursday nights NBA draft, although this draft is silly with point guards and he will likely be the third lead guard selected. Its inevitable that Fox will be judged alongside Markelle Fultz, Lonzo Ball, and Frank Ntilikina as this class of point guards ages&
Umpire Joe West will take the field for his 5,000th game tonight, and Jeff Passan has a profile of him over on Yahoo Sports to commemorate the occasion. There are quite a few interesting tidbitshe golfs with Hawk Harrelson! He doesnt seem to care even in the slightest about how much people hate him!and theres also&
Imagine: The year is 2017. You are the president of a dysfunctional NBA franchise, seemingly with no professional goals other than increasing the dysfunction of said franchise and maniacally preaching the virtues of triangles. You do not consider yourself beholden to your players or fans or, really, anyone. Youre&
Cody Bellinger has been in the big leagues for less than two months and is already the subject of a litany of fun facts, thanks to the historic pace of his rookie season. Heres another onehes now the first rookie ever to hit 10 home runs in a 10-game span.
Rather than let his teammate and likely future rookie of the year Cody Bellinger continue to steal the spotlight, reigning rookie of the year Corey Seager yanked it back tonight. While Bellinger hit a milestone of his own in the teams 12-0 win over the Mets, Seager made sure he was unequivocally the hero.

Monday night, I wrote about the lawsuit a Packers fan had filed against the Bears. Russell Beckman, a Wisconsin resident who is also a Bears season ticket holder, is suing the team because, he claims, they prevented him from going on the field in his Packers gear.
Last nights unveiling ceremony gave us our first look at the uniforms for the expansion Vegas Golden Knights, and my official verdict is: Not That Bad.
The Frisco RoughRiders, the Double A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, have a team dog named Brooks. The team recently tried to teach Brooks to be a bat dog, and things didnt go so well:
The 2017 NBA draft will lead off with the selection of Markelle Fultz, just 10 days after Kevin Durant was named MVP of the NBA Finals. Both Fultz and Durant are from Prince Georges County, Maryland. But great as they surely are, Fultz and Durant dont really throw the curve when it comes to grading basketball in&
Its been a good week for Sixers fans. The team used just one first-rounder from its draft-pick surplus to move up to the No. 1 spot in the NBA Draft, where it will take Markelle Fultz. That gives the team a young corps of Fultz, Ben Simmons, Dario `ari, and, of course, Joel Embiid. No one really knows if these guys&
Tim Tebow, who used to be a bad NFL player and is now a bad minor-league baseball player with the Columbia Fireflies, took some ribbing from the Charleston RiverDogs this past weekend. Now the RiverDogs are very sorry about it.
It hasnt even been a full week since Cristiano Ronaldos camp began leaking to anyone whod listen that he was done with Spain and had resolved to leave Real Madrid, a supposedly irreversible decision borne of his deep feelings of persecution because the Spanish government has taken issue with him potentially &
If youd asked me three years ago which wireless earbuds to buy for the gym, I wouldve laughed and laughed and laughed. The entire category was so hilariously bad back then, how could I recommend anything? Well let me tell you friend: a lot has changed in the best of ways.
Theres a straight line to be drawn from the Patriots signing today of David Harris, a respected veteran inside linebacker who had been unceremoniously dumped two weeks ago as part of the Jets roster purge. That line takes you back. It runs you through tampering charges, Darrelle Reviss Super Bowl ring, the &
Yesterday a photo of an apparently braid-free Kawhi Leonard was circulated on Twitter. The Spurs star was practically unrecognizable without his trademark cornrows. Some outlets reported that the haircut did not look very good.
Read one particular way, the history of cycling is a history of riders doing all they can to stretch past the natural limits of the human body. Cheating has been at the very heart of cycling since its inception and riders have tried, at various points throughout the sports history, strychnine, EPO, cocaine, wine,&
Dave Walshy Walsh first started competing at Halo in 2002. Back then, the term esports hadnt yet entered the lexicon, pro gamers rarely earned the big bucks, and competitions were all about the love of the game and discovering who played the best.
Even at an all-time low $364, the Roomba 860 is still quite a bit more expensive than, say, the Eufy RoboVac 11. That said, it boasts up to five times the sucking power of the comparable Roomba 650, so if you have kids or pets that tend to track in a lot of dirt, it might be worth the premium.
The Yankees have lost seven straight and have ceded first place in the AL East to the Red Sox, and right now the club seems powerless to change what isnt working.
Max Scherzer came very close to throwing a no-hitter while you were eating lunch. And then, with one out in the eighth inning, everything went to shit. It was a quintessential Max Scherzer game until it wasnt, and it was yet another display of Dusty Bakers peculiar judgment.
After returning to action for only a few weeks following a right knee sprain, Red Sox third baseman Pablo Sandoval is back on the DL with an ear infection, and now it seems increasingly unlikely that hell play much meaningful baseball ever again.

Mexico beat New Zealand 2-1 in a Confederations Cup match today, but the game wasnt stress-free for El Tri. Mexico went into halftime down 1-0, and their manager, Juan Carlos Osorio, got into a heated exchange with the New Zealand sideline less than a half hour into the match.
Until he got swept away by the recent round of layoffs, Ron Jaworski dissected Xs and Os for several of ESPNs NFL-related programs. Those gigs gave him a prominent platform from which he could draw heavily on his knowledge as a former NFL quarterback. Jaworski still loves to boast about how much tape of NFL games he&
After Zack Wheeler got his tits lit on Monday night, giving up seven runs in two innings, he promised that he felt fineit was just an issue with poor command, he said. New York Mets officials backed him up, with manager Terry Collins saying that there wasnt any reason to think it was a sign of injury. From the New&
