There is no greater feeling in life than experiencing the purest example of beauty. It is, as Oscar Wilde once said, the one thing time cannot harm. It’s an everlasting rainbow that never stops showing you its colors, and even when the actual act of witnessing something so gorgeous, so exquisite disappears — you still have the memory of it. Lionel Messi, wearing the Argentina shirt, driving towards goal with […]

BEREA, Ohio — The NFL is a young man’s game, and Todd Monken knows that all too well. He sees that half of the league’s head coaches are 45 or younger, including five who haven’t even hit 40 yet. He knows coaches almost never get their first head coaching job at 60 years old. Yet here he is, the league’s oldest rookie, getting his first and probably last shot all […]

Twelve teams get a shot at October. Only one finishes it with a World Series title. The MLB postseason sends six American League clubs and six National League clubs into a four-round bracket. The top two division winners in each league earn a bye. Everyone else has to survive a best-of-three Wild Card Series before the bracket shifts into the longer rounds. The 2026 postseason is tentatively scheduled to begin […]

The Milwaukee Mile (Milwaukee, Wisc.) — Two simultaneous celebrations erupted on Sunday night. Was it a sign of things to come? Pato O’Ward stood in Victory Lane as the winner of two races in one day. It was a rare feat because rarely does INDYCAR stage two races in a weekend — let alone one day. Alex Palou stood in his pit stall, standing tall, wearing a hat that commemorated […]

Preseason is over, thankfully. Next stop: Week 1. There will be so many things to preview for the first week of the season, especially the 2026 NFL opener — a Super Bowl rematch between the Patriots and Seahawks on Sept. 9. But I want to take this last week of the offseason to write about the vibes and the processes around the league — just to honor training camp and […]

Duke is slated to announce a four-year sponsorship deal with Edward Jones that will see the company’s logos added to the floor at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The agreement will also include Edward Jones being designated a "Champion Partner of Duke Athletics" and becoming the presenting sponsor of the Duke Champions Club. "What we have available and the changing economic realities […]

For USC football fans, showing up to support a blue-blood program seems to require a specific temperature. The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum saw lower attendance numbers during USC's Week 0 win over San Jose State, raising questions about fan turnout and program engagement to start the season. Addressing the turnout, Joel Klatt acknowledged that while USC remains widely recognized as a blue-blood program, attendance for Los Angeles-based teams differs from […]

September is nearly here, which means it's a good time to examine the road ahead for every playoff hopeful. While the Brewers, Dodgers and Braves hold comfortable leads atop their divisions in the National League, the American League races are much tighter. The Astros hold a two-game lead on the Rangers in the AL West, the White Sox are up 3.5 games on the Guardians in the AL Central, and […]

Success is all relative in the NFL, and it means different things for each of the 32 teams. Every win and loss is framed in the context of the original expectations for your season. You can go 11-6 and disappoint, like the Philadelphia Eagles last season. Or you can just go 6-11 and take a step forward as a franchise, just as the New Orleans Saints did this past year. […]
