No one ever gets the ending they want
It’s hard to imagine that’s how Serena Williams would end her career. There’s always the U.S. Open, where she won her first Grand Slam, where she’s rightly worshiped, where some of her biggest wins have come.

Phil Mickelson slid out of the U.S. Open on the oil slick he oozed in on not a penny richer from his appearance in Brookline, Mass.

How many women does it take to convince Deshaun Watson deniers?
How many will it take? The answer wasn’t 10. It wasn’t 20.
