MLB, please don’t reinstate Trevor Bauer anytime soon [Updated]

Here’s hoping Lillard is a better GM than LeBron
“You’re really going to do this?” is a question one canceled ABC drama character asks another right before they pack up their sedan and move across the country by themselves.

The Mavericks had better pack some vaseline and boots if Luka isn’t full strength for their first round series against the Jazz

Gary Player wants you to know that Phil Mickelson is ‘being crucified’

Just shorten the season, Chumley
One of the headlines coming out of the NBA yesterday was Adam Silver’s lament that the league’s star players don’t actually dress for enough games during the regular season.
