Christian Pulisic’s move to AC Milan is the USMNT’s biggest news of the summer
The most substantial story for the United States men’s national team this summer has nothing to do with the Gold Cup. Nor any of the drama surrounding Gregg Berhalter’s return to the Yanks’ helm.

Major League Baseball needs more African-American players, less Juneteenth grandstanding
Corporate America is trying to ruin Juneteenth — like the “Swag Surf” and countless things before it.

And why Major League Baseball — a sport that consistently er...
Did someone really try to fight Michael Jai White?
The martial artist who doubles as an action star is not as common as it once was. There aren’t nearly as many Jet Li’s or Chuck Norris’ roundhouse-kicking foes into oblivion. The biggest box office smash that Michael Jai White was ever in was The Dark Knight, and he didn’t put a foot in anyone’s ass...

Chinese Basketball Association’s extreme punishment for tanking is what the NBA needs
If the NBA wants to look into discouraging teams from strategic tanking, they should borrow from the Chinese Basketball Association’s playbook. In the basketball exchange program, the rest of the world learned the game from watching the NBA, American hoopers integrated the Euro step into their skill...
Charles Barkley hates the playa and the game, but he should look in the mirror
Every Cinderella story needs a bitter, jaded, elderly hater. Charles Barkley is college basketball’s evil stepmother analog.

LeBron James found the 'LeBron James of feet' to okay his return
lebronWe’ll refrain from the Rex Ryan jokes. LeBron James returned yesterday to the Lakers…for some reason, to aid the Lakers’ chase to get dog-walked in the first round, at best. James had been told by two doctors that he should have surgery on his foot, only to find a doctor who would tell him wha...

NBA's GOAT is looking to sell his stake in the Charlotte Hornets and other failures
When you’re so incredibly talented at something, it tends to give you a false sense of confidence in other areas of your life.

How far can LeBron James stretch the limits of the NBA scoring record?

The best foods to bring to your Super Bowl party
There is nothing more stressful than knowing you have a group of people coming over in 20 minutes, but your dip in the oven takes 40 minutes.

Tom Brady's not the only star who couldn't quit the spotlight

Who gets 'the yips' and why?
Monday night, Dallas Cowboys’ kicker Brett Maher, a man who has made more 60-yard field goals than anyone in NFL history, went one for five on extra points.
