Man United Exploit Teenage Boner For Victory
Poor, poor, 18-year-old Mile Svilar made his debut for Benfica today in a game against one of the scariest teams in England. He became the youngest-ever Champions League keeper in the process, but more to the point, he made himself a target for Manchester United’s more experienced scorers....
Golden State Warriors Fall To Last Place In Western Conference<em></em>

Nick Young Is Already In Paradise

Nikita Kucherov Won't Stop Scoring<em></em>
With a game-tying warp-speed slapper that went off the post and in, Tampa Bay’s Nikita Kucherov continued his incredible year-opening streak.

Aaron Judge Is A Hero Again
Aaron Judge, the Yankees’ young superstar slugger and potential MVP, had been having a pretty worthless postseason at the plate.

The Aaron Rodgers Hit Was Legal, And That's The Problem
To the extent that there has been any joy to be found in the NFL this year, it was Aaron Rodgers that delivered it.

Jay Cutler Is Alive And Demoralizing Atlanta
Despite eking out a win against Tennessee last weekend, Jay Cutler looked like he had hit rock bottom.

Cutler ...

At first, the Ravens’ Bobby Rainey looked down before the 25 on just another ho-hum kickoff return. But Rainey got up after he was tripped by his own man, and without any whistles blown, he was able to accelerate past all the confused Chicago tacklers for a 96-yard score....
