Simona Halep Has Weathered Everything
Simona Halep will play the Australian Open final. On its face, the fact of that doesn’t seem particularly remarkable or surprising. She is after all, the highest-ranked player in the world, the top seed at this tournament, and only a few months removed from her last major final. She has yet to lose ...
No. 1 Simona Halep Practically Twisted Her Ankle Off And Still Won
On Day One of the Australian Open, top-seeded Simona Halep stretched for a ball in the second set of her match against 17-year-old Destanee Aiava and rolled her ankle over... and over, and then somehow over even more until her foot was roughly perpendicular with her lower leg. The video is above, bu...

Adam Henrique's New Jersey Homecoming Featured A Beautiful Goal And The "Pads Of Seduction"
When the Devils and Ducks swapped center Adam Henrique for defenseman Sami Vatanen on Nov. 30, it was a quintessential dealing-from-strength move for both teams. New Jersey had a plethora of forwards and was weak in the back, and injury-riddled Anaheim had blueliners but needed scoring. ...

We’re used to Gus Johnson unleashing Gusgasms, but Indiana’s overtime comeback to beat Notre Dame that improved their season record to 6-5 and knocked off the 18th-ranked Irish took the Fox announcer to another level....
Report: Aw, Man, Shohei Ohtani Has Mild Ligament Damage In His Elbow
The words “elbow” and “damage” can easily be terrifying when used together in any headline about a pitcher, much less one who could potentially be among the greatest players of his generation and certainly among the most fascinating, but do not fret (that much).

Martina Hingis Retires For The Third And Presumably Last Time
Martina Hingis announced her retirement today, after 23 years of professional tennis that began, ridiculously, with her winning major titles and hitting world No. 1 by age 16. She was the sort of prodigy wholly absent from the modern game, obsolete due to the increased physical demands of the sport....
Kevin Bieksa Lands Leaping One-Punch Knockdown
I’m generally over hockey fights, both for their silliness and their safety concerns. So here’s a good reminder that for as right-thinking as I’d like to imagine myself, I’m entirely willing to drop all principles the second something cool happens....
