Bayern Munich Score Twice In Extra Time, Beat Juventus In Balls-Out Comeback

After the Thunder collapsed and let the Minnesota Timberwolves come back and beat them in Oklahoma City last night, Kevin Durant took the blame and wore the hairshirt. Even if it’s just KD self-flagellating, this quote sums up the sadness of OKC’s last month pretty succinctly:...

Catholic Memorial School took on Newton North High School in basketball up in a suburb of Boston last night.

Fourth Yomiuri Giants Pitcher Admits To Betting On Baseball

Giannis Antetokounmpo Is A Point Guard Now, And It's Awesome

Roddy White Says Kyle Shanahan Forced Him Out Of Atlanta
Roddy White’s release by the Falcons last week was not a huge surprise; it’s hard to justify a 34-year-old third WR with a $6 million-plus cap hit.
