The Rangers have a big, dumb sideshow: Matt Rempe

It was natural to think the New York Rangers “got it” after they traded in the misguided clenched jaw ways of Gerrard Gallant behind the bench for the usually up-tempo ways of Peter Laviolette after the Devils essentially skated them out of the building last spring in the first round. The Devils wer...

Is trouble brewing for the USWNT?

It’s been mostly quiet on the Western front for the USWNT since last summer’s World Cup full-body dry heave.

Notre Dame chokes, and Dan Lanning steals Coach Prime’s soundbite

Throughout the Notre Dame-Ohio State game, the booth constantly reminded viewers that Irish skipper Marcus Freeman said he wasn’t going to coach scared like he did a season ago against the Buckeyes.

Willy Adames doesn’t agree that you should never meet your heroes

It’s hard to remember that baseball players were wide-eyed kids like all of us at one point. Sure, there’s plenty of antics caught on camera in the dugout that remind us they’re playing a kids’ game. But given the amount of work, training, and coaching these guys get, it’s hard to picture them ridin...

Paul Riley done with 'political, woke' NWSL after lifetime ban

Even if the egregious quartet of Paul Riley (pictured), Richie Burke, Christy Holly, and Rory Dames never would’ve coached American professional soccer again after their despicable actions towards individual players and teams became widely known, making the official move to ban the foursome from the...

Carlos Correa, or Scott Boras, goes for the hat trick

Why do the Carlos Correa rumors always come out late at night? What kind of hours does Scott Boras keep? I guess when you’re him you probably sleep pretty late. Or is he like Rob Lowe’s character in “Thank You For Smoking,” where he only sleeps on Sundays?...

No, the San Francisco Giants’ offense isn’t suddenly elite with Carlos Correa
