The Champions League group stage went out with a bang
The Champions League group stage spent most of its time getting maligned, some of that in bad faith from the biggest clubs who just wanted to mold the competition to their whims.

The Bucks-Pacers rivalry is now spectacular. Thank you, NBA's In-Season Tournament

An open invitation for Buster Posey to screw off
