Gael Monfils Laid It All Out There
Gael Monfils and Stan Wawrinka are genuine late-bloomers—perhaps the only two pros to ever find their best tennis on the cusp of 30—and very good friends, too. Somehow, before today’s round of 16 match at the French Open, they had gone six years on the tour without playing one another. That fact bog...
Brock Lesnar Finally Has A Challenger
Part-timers have held a WWE championship a few times in recent years, and they necessarily haven’t defended their belts very much.

Jeff Samardzija Concussed His Own Teammate In Giants-Nationals Brawl
The NHL has a “third man in” rule, which penalizes a player who jumps into a fight with a game misconduct. MLB has no such formal rule, but it sort of worked out that way anyway. Michael Morse, the third man in on the Bryce Harper-Hunter Strickland fight that cleared both benches on Monday, was leve...

Tom Dumoulin was not supposed to be here.
