The Steelers could go 8 games without Bell. Would it be worth it?

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a problem. Their relationship with All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell is fraying beyond the point of repair, and it could torpedo the club’s Super Bowl hopes in 2018.

Bell’s impasse with the team that drafted him in 2013 reached a breaking point Monday when the deadline for the player and his team to reach a long-term contract passed without an extension for the playmaking back. That means... Читать дальше...

Bell will have to play another season another the franchise tag after the long-term deal deadline passed.

“I would love to play here for my whole career,” deGrom said. “It’s just deciding what we see as the future.”

Competition starts at 8 p.m. ET on Monday night

The Home Run Derby takes center stage on Monday night from Nationals Park in Washington D.C., and there are several ways to watch the annual quest to mash taters.

Online streaming for the event, which starts at 8 p.m. ET, is available through Watch ESPN and MLB.com, and the Home Run Derby will be televised by four different ESPN networks.

Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper is the de facto host of this event, and since... Читать дальше...

Key dates relating to allegations of sexual misconduct against the former Buckeyes wrestling team physician, and the controversy around whether Jim Jordan (R-OH) was aware of them.

Croatia lost in the World Cup final. Croatians didn’t care.

Croatia didn’t win the 2018 World Cup. You wouldn’t know that by looking at the throngs of proud fans in Zagreb who waited to welcome their national team back home.

Thousands of supporters lined the streets of Zagreb and packed Ban Jelenic square to show their appreciation for the greatest team to ever don Croatia’s checkerboard red and white. Fervent fans lit flares and chanted “Champions! Champions!” just one day after... Читать дальше...

The outspoken quarterback has a group with an idea to pay players within the context of the NCAA.

The SEC’s recent weakness now looks like a strength.

Quick, which conference has the best quarterback situation right now?

For most of the decade, the answer was decidedly not the SEC.

It was typically the ACC, with its CFB-best seven first-round QBs since 2010. Or the Pac-12 or Big 12, with their pass-happy offenses.

But it was rarely the SEC.

The SEC had Cam Newton for a year at Auburn, Johnny Manziel for two at Texas A&M, and Dak Prescott‘s two excellent years at Mississippi State. Читать дальше...

Arizona slugger will bat third for the NL

The National League on Monday announced its starting lineup for the 2018 MLB All-Star Game, with Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt inserted as the designated hitter.

Goldschmidt was selected to the All-Star roster by commissioner selection, one of three first basemen for the National League. He is batting .281/.386/.534 with 21 home runs this season, which is remarkable considering he was jitting just .209/.326/.393 at the end of May. Читать дальше...

Lineups were announced on Monday for the 2018 MLB All-Star Game, and the American League starting nine looks awfully imposing.

First time since 1939-40 the midsummer classic has the same starters in back-to-back years.

A changed flight, one legendarily poor managing decision, and layoffs in Cincinnati!

The conference that’s tried so hard to avoid getting shut out of the Playoff is now bragging about making it so hard to get into the Playoff.

The Clippers rookie has all the tools to be the top rookie point guard in the NBA.

He’s 19-years old, and has it all figured out.

Kylian Mbappe was a superstar before he arrived at the World Cup in Russia — now he’s a megastar. The France forward is on the verge of the biggest payday of his career after leading his nation to a World Cup victory, now he’s already looking at giving back.

French newspaper L’Equipe reported Monday that Mbappe had already informed the charity Premiers de Cordée back in April that he planned to donate his paycheck to the organization. Читать дальше...

Talking to Bill Nye (the Science Guy, as many reading this post probably know him) about baseball is refreshing, mostly because it feels like you’re talking to one of your friends on a barstool in your neighborhood about the local team. Their strengths, their weaknesses.

Here are all the topics that will be discussed during the 227-day event.

Looking back at the entire tournament to see how France won their second World Cup title.

We want this team to represent something beyond soccer. It won’t.

It is profoundly beautiful to see so much diversity in the victorious French national team. The players are close-knit and their joy with and celebration of each other is infectious. They emanate love and unbridled happiness. This Black, White, Arabic, Christian and Muslim team, of players who are mostly immigrants, children of immigrants or descendants of immigrants. Seeing them jumping around and hugging after coming together... Читать дальше...

Romario is a Brazilian soccer legend. He also loved to party. Edmundo isn’t quite a Brazilian soccer legend, but he had some great years on successful teams. He, too, loved to party.

The Browns? More like the Frowns, right guys? Right?

All NFL uniforms were not created equally.

Figuring out which teams need new uniforms can be tricky business to the untrained eye. A great deal of time, effort, and work goes into these uniform designs, only for them to be denigrated by the average fan.

Instead of thumbing through NFL uniforms and breaking down color schemes and dissecting who has strong uniforms and who was weak uniforms, I did what any good American would do... Читать дальше...

So what if it cost a future Hall of Famer a couple months?

Barry Larkin ruined everything.

Fans of the 1990 A’s have been able to say this for years. Now it’s our turn. Back in 1989, Major League Baseball held a skills competition that went beyond the Home Run Derby. There were catchers. There were relay throws. There were, of course, dingers. There’s no video — it’s possible that it wasn’t even televised — but we do have archeological evidence that it existed.

Pena scored... Читать дальше...
