Yankees’ Zach Britton shows pro athletes the proper response to teammates who abuse others
It isn’t very often that we see an example of professional athletes expressing their discomfort with a teammate accused of domestic violence, but Zack Britton, relief pitcher for the Yankees, is providing us with such a moment regarding his fellow reliever, Domingo Germån.

It’s probably easiest to start this layered story at the top. Artemi Panarin, star winger of the New York Rangers, is taking a leave of absence from the team as a story back in Russia broke today about him allegedly beating up a 18-year-old girl in a bar in Riga in 2011. While this may at first appe...
Hockey monster Mike Babcock lands job coaching college kids (this should go well)
Mike Babcock has long had a reputation of not being good at working with young players because he lacks the patience necessary to develop talent as part of a long-term plan. It was a major question mark from the time the Toronto Maple Leafs hired the two-time Olympic gold medal-winning coach, and Ba...

The Champions League returns this week... all over the place

It drops into the sporting scene at the end of February, right after you...
It’s been a wacky Australian Open, even if no one’s around to see it
As we’ve previously stated, the Australian Open has a surreal quality, at least on these shores, where an already-niche sport takes place in the dark for only the truly dedicated/bewildered. It’s even more so this edition, as on Friday the live spectators were shooed out of the tournament altogether...

Alisson kicks Premier League to Manchester City
Two and a half months ago or so, I wrote this. I certainly wasn’t the only one, and perhaps I let my red-colored view of the world get the better of me just a touch as well. While Pep Guardiola was coming under more fire than he ever had while in charge of Manchester City, possibly at any of his sto...

Breaking: Lions deal Stafford to Rams for Goff, a slew of picks with a maniacal laugh (most likely)
