Chelsea have a left-wing issue - and it should influence their summer transfer business
For Marc Cucurella to be the closest thing they had to a left-winger against Liverpool on Saturday is the latest twist in a Chelsea season that has, at times, bordered on the surreal.That he picked up the man of the match award for his performance at Anfield should act as a valuable lesson.If you spooled back to August and told Chelsea fans Cucurella would be this group’s best attacking threat for what looked set to be a crunch late-season fixture in the fight for Champions League qualification,...
Bruins 2025-26 bold predictions revisited: Bad calls on the trades that didn't happen
My list of bold predictions for the 2025-26 season, looking back seven months later, appears to be missing one key item: I didn’t think the Boston Bruins would make the playoffs.Perhaps it’s because, as of October, I didn’t consider that prediction bold enough to include.The 2024-25 Bruins were terrible. General manager Don Sweeney did not execute any high-end offseason signings. Marco Sturm was a rookie NHL coach. Nobody from the 2024-25 AHL Providence roster looked like a sure thing to make th...
New USMNT documentary series showcases World Cup journey in a different light
The most pivotal moment of the U.S. men’s national team’s disastrous run at the 2024 Copa América was Tim Weah’s untimely red card.Weah, a player responsible for so many positive moments in his 49 caps, uncharacteristically lashed out and struck Panama defender Roderick Miller off the ball. The incident was spotted on video review and resulted in Weah’s 18th-minute ejection. Despite taking a lead a few minutes later, the U.S. would lose that game, ultimately leading to an embarrassing group-stag...
The Browns' most interesting rookie just might be ... a quarterback
Last weekend, Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Taylen Green found himself walking through an unfamiliar playbook in a hotel room down the street from a place he’d previously never been. With one eye on a nearby iPad and one making sure his feet were where his new coaches wanted them without actually backing into any hotel furniture, Green prepped himself for his first set of NFL practices at the Browns’ weekend rookie minicamp.Advertisement
How mixed-use stadium districts — for work, play and football — became college sports' latest craze
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — A giant retaining wall grows, one gray cement block at a time, above the Silas Creek that snakes through Wake Forest and the bank of stadiums that houses Demon Deacon football, basketball and baseball.An erector site rises from a pile of dry brown clay in the shadow of Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium. An intersection will soon disappear. The campus landscape shifts by the day.Advertisement
Twins' Brooks Lee is playing unafraid and showing defensive improvement after slow start
CLEVELAND — A key reason Brooks Lee believes his defense is stabilizing, including a pair of game-saving plays late in Saturday’s victory, is a conscious decision to say screw it and keep attacking.The Minnesota Twins shortstop doesn’t want to worry about riding the ups and downs of making good plays and bad ones. Instead, he’s decided to accept each result as an occupational hazard to keep a clear head and to stay out of his own way. Lee figures an even-keeled mindset will allow him to push him...
Why the PGA Tour's shortest hitter isn't scared of Aronimink
Brian Campbell isn’t offended by the question, but he knows it’s coming: What’s it like to compete as the shortest hitter on the PGA Tour?“It does get kind of comical,” Campbell says, “hearing some of the clubs that guys have in. I’m just over here like, well, I just hit a 7-wood. And they hit a 7-iron.”Advertisement
Utah Royals are on a seven-match unbeaten streak. Are they the NWSL's new protagonists?
The Utah Royals have not lost a game since March 22.Come again? You might be asking. Is this the same Utah Royals that finished their inaugural campaign in 11th place in 2024, and their sophomore season in 12th out of 14 teams? The same side that drafted University of North Carolina-turned-U.S. women’s national team darling Ally Sentnor as the No. 1 pick in the 2024 draft before sending her to Kansas City last summer? The side whose roster was so hampered by injuries that it was difficult to asc...

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. is falling short in his most important season yet
BALTIMORE — A telltale sign of Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s frustration is that he didn’t speak. The most loquacious player inside the New York Yankees clubhouse had nothing to say, because there really isn’t much to say so far about the most important season of his career.As reporters approached Chisholm at his locker inside the visitors clubhouse at Camden Yards, he simply shook his head and said, “No.” He walked out after finishing 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in a 3-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles....
