The Matt Ryan Masterclass Series: Rookie heroics against Chicago

Not every all-time great performance will have gaudy numbers. There are games where the overall opponent, in-game situations, and circumstances must be heavily taken into account. It’s not merely assessing the box score and determining that a performance is not good enough because only one touchdown was scored, after only one of four red zone […]

Thursday Flakes: World Cup Continues, CWS Final Set and More

As I have for the last 3 World Cup Tournaments, I have currently seen every single minute. It has led to some rather late nights, but the matches have been good enough to keep me awake. From Cape Verde holding Spain to a draw and the USA putting 4 past Paraguay, there has been plenty […]

Chicago Cubs news — PCA, Cabrera, Palencia

Today’s Reflections I thought this was more important than anything I have to say: Great story. Great man. And certainly more positive than anything I could write about.

Jessica Pegula Left Speechless by Fan’s Unexpected Mid-Match Question in Berlin

In Wimbledon 1996, Steffi Graf faced Kimiko Date in the semifinals. As Graf was preparing to serve, a voice rang out from the crowd: “Steffi, will you marry me?” She smiled, and after a pause, she responded: “How much money do you have?” The crowd erupted in laughter, and the exchange became folklore. But three […] The post Jessica Pegula Left Speechless by Fan’s Unexpected Mid-Match Question in Berlin appeared first on EssentiallySports .

NFL Rumors: Shocking Team Linked To Lamar Jackson Trade

Jason La Canfora of Sports Illustrated published a piece this week connecting the Philadelphia Eagles to Lamar Jackson. "Call me crazy, but if the Eagles are still looking to upgrade at QB after this season, I could see Howie Roseman inserting himself into this Lamar situation in a big deal," La Canfora wrote. "If Jackson isn't extended by Week 1, they will be hanging a huge 'Call Us About Our Quarterback After The Season' sign on the front of their franchise." That is a hypothetical stacked...

NYC’s Championship Parades Sub Toilet Paper for Ticker Tape

NEW YORK—All was quiet along the Canyon of Heroes on Wednesday morning—or, at least, as quiet as a stretch of downtown Manhattan can be on a summer workday.
