It's Deshaun Watson's Time
This National Championship game felt familiar, Clemson slogging early against a world-class Alabama defense before, gradually, luring them into exactly the Tigers’ type of game: a shootout. (The only difference being, maybe, that this year the clock ran out with the score in Clemson’s favor.) The co...
You Can't Style On That Shot, Man

DeMarcus Cousins Wishes Professional Ruin Upon John Wall
The Kings and Wizards are playing tonight in front of about 17 people in Washington D.C.

The Good Stan Wawrinka Showed Up This Time
Stan Wawrinka woke up, shook off his three-match losing streak, and played passable tennis against Marin Cilic in the ATP World Tour Finals, winning 7-6(3), 7-6(3). It was a relief to see a different Stan this time in London....
You Never Know Which Stan Wawrinka You're Going To Get
Last we saw the third-ranked tennis player in the world, he was stumbling out of the first round in Paris, shown the door by the world No. 91. Before that, in Basel, he crumbled against No. 72 Mischa Zverev, facing visible mental collapse in the third set. And in today’s rematch of the U.S. Open sem...

Like The Rest Of Us, John Wall Wants Nothing To Do With Wizards Games [Update]
This afternoon, John Wall caught a $25,000 fine after he was ejected for bumping into an official on Monday night.

Stan Wawrinka Says He Had An Anxiety Attack Before The U.S. Open Final
To watch Stan Wawrinka dispatch Novak Djokovic in the U.S. Open final last month was to see the physical toll the sport can take. Both men looked dazed and drenched in the heat of late-summer New York City, and Djokovic cramped severely and took an injury timeout for a blistered, bloodied toe. But t...
Lamar Jackson Got Choked, Lost, And Still Had An Amazing Game
Deshaun Watson and the Clemson Tigers beat Louisville 42-36 Saturday night, but Cardinals QB Lamar Jackson drew the most attention. Determining a Heisman winner this early into the season is foolish, so I won’t, but even the “bad” version of Jackson was fantastic....
Yankees-Red Sox Game Delayed By Stuck Fenway Door
