Get To Know Josh Sargent, American Soccer's Next Hot-Shit Prospect
The United States U-20 national team has plenty of big names on respected clubs. Cameron Carter-Vickers will probably get to feature in the vile (and admittedly decent) Tottenham first team next year.

These Players Will Not Beat Rafael Nadal: A Largely Pointless French Open Preview
We’re going to proceed on the assumption that Rafael Nadal will (literally) sink his teeth into the French Open trophy, as he has nine times since 2005. ...
Touch The Trophy
Sidney Crosby is maybe the most polarizing superstar the NHL has ever had. (I admit to being a big-time Crosby stan, but I really don’t understand the other side of it. If you can’t appreciate rare greatness, well, what the hell do you even watch sports for?) But I hope we can all come together and ...
LeBron James Took Care Of Business
The Cavaliers had zero interest in prolonging what’s seemed to be inevitable since Game 1 here, if not since Game 1 of the regular season. They were going to win the Eastern Conference Finals, and they didn’t want to have to go back to Cleveland to do it—and no one seemed to feel that more strongly ...

Billy Hamilton Ran The Reds To A Comeback
On consecutive basepath sprints, Billy Hamilton kept the Reds alive and then scored the winning run in a Reds 4-3 victory over Cleveland, and they were both dashes that no other major leaguer besides Hamilton could’ve accomplished. Speed is indeed a weapon, and it’s pretty fun to watch....
The NBA's New Policy On Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, And Child Abuse Is Here
The NBA’s new policy on accusations of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse—negotiated last year as the league came to an agreement with the players’ union, and formally approved in December—will come into force on July 1. But according to a report from ESPN’s Zach Lowe published last ...
Sean Spicer, Remember When You Were Happy?
White House press secretary and noted gumboy Sean Spicer hasn’t been having a very good time. Melania (allegedly) hates him, he’s mocked mercilessly, Trump probably wants to fire him, and most recently, the devout Catholic didn’t even get to meet the Pope. But it wasn’t always this way. There was a ...

Kyrie Irving Put The Celtics In The Toilet
The Boston Celtics got real feisty tonight in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals and went on a decent little run at the start of the game. Despite not having Isaiah Thomas for a second straight game, Boston defied its true home (the trash can) and won the first quarter by 10 points. They saddle...
