Pogba was the leader the team needed.

One of my favorite videos of the French national team came about 8 months ago, during an international break when France beat Wales 2-0. Paul Pogba was injured at the time, but he went to the Stade de France to support his teammates, and after the game, he stood by the locker room to congratulate the players and staff. Each player and staff member came up to him, and at one point, there was even a queue of people waiting for his attention, and Pogba... Читать дальше...

Darrelle Revis called it quits, so we took a look back at his career

Few NFL players are able to match elite on-field skills with a savvy sense of business that allows them to maximize their career earnings.

Darrelle Revis was one of those few. Whether it was his 15 minutes of fame in Tampa Bay, his Super Bowl season in New England, or his second stint (read: robbery) with the New York Jets, the money always followed Revis wherever he played.

Of course, that money was completely... Читать дальше...

Low prize money and no exemptions? No problem when you want Grand Slam glory.

The Milwaukee pitcher will only be lightly punished for his comments.

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Josh Hader won’t be suspended, or even particularly harshly punished, for his old racist and homophobic (among other things) tweets that were discovered Tuesday night while he was pitching in the All-Star Game. Hader apologized for tweets — posted in 2011 and 2012 when he was a teenager — after the game, citing his age and claiming that he had changed since that time.

Hader’s surfaced tweets were blatantly racist, homophobic and misogynistic. So why are some so quick to forgive and forget?

These were the rookie stars of Las Vegas Summer League.

Las Vegas Summer League is all about the rookies. Teams get an early chance to see if their draft picks have improved on their college scouting reports, while the players get a unique opportunity to leave a strong first impression in front of an NBA audience.

This was considered a strong draft class, and summer league only reinforced that idea. Even as a few notable lottery picks like Dallas’ Luka Doncic and Denver’s Michael Porter Jr. Читать дальше...

The oldest major in golf can be the toughest to pick. But here are some predictions for Tiger, Rickie, and the rest of the week at Carnoustie.

Welcome to July in the SEC.

This is more a cheeseburger slider than a whole plate of SEC Media Days beef, but the oddest drama of that event so far is a mostly one-sided exchange between a former Georgia quarterback who’s now a CBS Sports analyst and a former Georgia assistant who’s now Tennessee’s head coach.

The QB lobbed an aggressive opening salvo.

Five years and $70 million sounded too good to be true. And it was.

The way we talk about and report NFL contracts sucks. There’s no more artful way of saying it than that. If you want proof, look no further than the situation between the Steelers and Le’Veon Bell, who just turned down a five-year, $70 million contract offer ... an offer that was NOTHING like it seems, and one that he was wise to decline.
