The Kawhi-PG era could soon come to an end in LA, and still no banners
As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Apparently, that also applies to things that were so-so at times and, overall, a disappointing display of futility.

Major League Baseball needs more African-American players, less Juneteenth grandstanding
Corporate America is trying to ruin Juneteenth — like the “Swag Surf” and countless things before it.

Being a USMNT fan usually involves seeing things that aren’t there, or at least things that could be there but aren’t yet.
