What are Hansi Flick's Barcelona? Their second goal in El Clasico summed things up

Naz Reid got back up, and the Timberwolves are in the fight with the Spurs
MINNEAPOLIS — The elbow caught Naz Reid flush in the throat, the impact so violent that it buckled his knees and dropped him, face down, onto the court.It was delivered by the 7-foot-4 Victor Wembanyama, whose torso uncorked in a fit of frustration that sent his right elbow whipping toward Reid’s windpipe like a torpedo bat flying through the strike zone. For a moment, Reid almost seemed to pause on his way down, as if the transfer of energy from Wembanyama’s elbow to his neck caused his body to...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The night the Carolina Panthers drafted Monroe Freeling, head coach Dave Canales said the Georgia offensive tackle had not yet grown into his body.That growth process is up and rolling.The 6-foot-7 Freeling weighed in at 315 pounds at the NFL combine in late February, close to his playing weight during his final season with the Bulldogs.

Victor Wembanyama lost his cool and was ejected. His coach still had his back
MINNEAPOLIS — Making his way around the bench, one high-five at a time, Victor Wembanyama couldn’t do anything but clap his way out the door. He knew he blew it. He was trapped, tried to swing his way out of it, and paid the fair price.When the slo-mo replay showed the San Antonio Spurs star looking right at Naz Reid before hurtling an elbow into the Minnesota Timberwolves big man’s throat, everyone in the building knew what was coming next. He was gone. That was a Flagrant-2, clear as day.

Diamondbacks' Ildemaro Vargas waited a long time for this, and he's loving all of it
PHOENIX — On a recent afternoon, as Ildemaro Vargas walked to the plate, Arizona Diamondbacks team president and CEO Derrick Hall and former star Luis Gonzalez watched from a suite above home plate at Chase Field.For most of his career, 34-year-old Vargas has been labeled in similar ways — journeyman, utility player — but this season, he has simply been one of the more fascinating stories in baseball.
