How Eliud Kipchoge Made The Chicago Marathon Easy To Watch
We get caught up in records, but there's a lot to be said for style.

Suns Owner Robert Sarver Calls Out Spurs For Phoning In Preseason Game
The Spurs' starting five for last night's game against the Suns was a bit underwhelming: Matt Bonner, Aron Baynes, Tony Parker, Danny Green, and Kyle Anderson.
