Miko Grimes Says She Tweeted Dumb Shit On Purpose To Get The Dolphins To Cut Her Husband
Buccaneers cornerback Brent Grimes is a talented player, but around these parts he’s more notable for his wife Miko’s ability to talk him up, and occasionally veer away from blunt honesty into bizarre territory. Now she claims that some of it was part of a plan....

Goodbye, Andy Murray
Andy Murray’s hip came the closest any tennis injury ever could to provoking a national crisis: The top British sportsman (and defending Wimbledon champion) was still hurt on the cusp of the country’s most storied sporting event. Murray, like most elite athletes, is in a perpetual state of semi-brok...
A Screaming Fan Helped Knock Out Simona Halep At Wimbledon
After Wimbledon two-seed Simona Halep and six-seed Johanna Konta split the first two sets of their quarterfinal match in tiebreaks, the deciding set was a tense affair, with fans groaning and gasping after every point.

With No Serena In Sight, Venus Williams Is A Win Away From The Wimbledon Final<em></em>
One sad thing about excellence is that it’s easily eclipsed by outright transcendence: Seven majors is a clump next to a historic heap of 23; 92-18 on grass is wild, but 95-12 is even better; five Wimbledons is fewer than seven. But Serena Williams’s pregnancy left a vacuum at the top of the women’s...

Jeb’s pursuit of the Miami Marlins hit a bit of a snag when he ended his partnership with Jeets, perhaps because Jeets wasn’t pulling his financial weight.

A Trip To The Only Outdoor Public Pool In Brussels, Which Is In A Dumpster

On The Busiest Day In Tennis, Rafael Nadal Fell In Five Hours
At Wimbledon, per tradition, the first Sunday is a day of rest. By design there are never any matches scheduled. (Unless rain has derailed the first week of play, in which case, they play out of necessity.) Still, on that day the practice courts are abuzz. Here is how the New York Times describes t...
The Wimbledon Women's Quarterfinal Round Is Going To Be A Lot Of Fun

The Orioles Never Recovered From That Phantom Rainout At Nationals Park
Back in early May, the Orioles capped a six-game win streak with a 12-inning, 5-4 win over the Nationals that brought their record on the season to 22-10, good for first place in the AL East. They dropped a tight one to the Nats the following night, and the final game of the series, set for May 11, ...
Andy Murray Survives Fabio Fognini, The Sleepy Pirate
What is there to know about Fabio Fognini? He is the languid, deviant pirate of tennis. With a skull headband wrapped around his dome, he does a stout little swagger around the court. He does not swing his racket very dramatically, but very dramatic things happen to the ball after it leaves his rack...
Jermichael Finley Says Leaving Football Is Hard But Coming Back Might Be Worse
Last week, after former Ravens linebacker Zach Orr announced he hoped to return to the NFL just five months after retiring with a congenital spine condition, ex-Packer Jermichael Finley said that Orr’s story “hits very close to home.”...
