Lucas Pouille Is The Next Big Tennis Guy
Decked out in Agassi-era neons and backwards cap, Lucas Pouille looks like a guy who stumbled onto the court after an EDM festival, or after getting chased off a fictional Seth Rogen’s property. But the 22-year-old also just won his first ATP title—the Moselle Open, in his home country of France—and...
Roberto Aguayo Is Living Our Anxiety Dream
Roberto Aguayo, the most accurate kicker in college football history, for whom the Tampa Bay Buccaneers traded up to draft in the second round, is struggling in preseason and in practice.

Jason Heyward Nails Runner At Home With A Gorgeous Throw
Jason Heyward’s work at the plate this season has not been anything Cubs fans can get too excited about, but he has maintained his sparkling reputation as a defensive outfielder.

If Mike Francesa’s visceral disdain for soccer didn’t come through clear enough when he stumbled his way through a simple MLS ad read last week, today’s rant aimed at SI for their decision to dedicate the mag’s cover to Lionel Messi and a big portion of its coverage (specifically, as Mike discovers:...

No, ESPN Did Not Air Cardinals Fans Yelling Racial Slurs At Jason Heyward
Former Cardinals outfielder Jason Heyward made his return to St. Louis in Monday’s game with the Chicago Cubs, and the crowd soundly booed him for choosing to make money elsewhere.

Cubs Spring Training Game Overrun By Bees
Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. I say it will end when our bee overlords choose to end it. That might already be underway at Sloan Park during this afternoon’s Cubs-Mariners game. Jason Heyward was the first victim, and he had to climb the outfield fence to avoid them....
Madison Bumgarner And Jason Heyward's Beef Wasn't Really A Beef At All
Madison Bumgarner’s on-mound demeanor could be described using many different words; I’ll go with “cantankerous,” but depending upon your perspective anything from “fired-up” to “dickish” can be appropriate. So when Jason Heyward stood around seemingly staring at Bumgarner after taking a called thir...

Adam Wainwright Doesn't Think Jason Heyward Wanted To Be "The One"
The Cardinals are, for some reason, still saying things about Jason Heyward, who signed with the Chicago Cubs this offseason after playing just one season in St. Louis.
