Lamar Jackson back at practice for start of Ravens minicampVideo

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — The Lamar Jackson-to-Mark Andrews connection — the linchpin of Baltimore’s offense last season — is back on the field.

No angst about college athletes cashing in at 1st NIL summitVideo

ATLANTA — Almost a year into the NIL era in college sports, there has been much angst about booster-funded collectives, million-dollar quarterback recruits and the need for federal legislation to regulate how athletes monetize their fame. Nick vs. Jimbo, in fact, has been the story of the spring. At the...
Warriors’ Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson 1 win from another NBA titleVideo

SAN FRANCISCO — When Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and emotional, do-everything teammate Draymond Green began Golden State’s climb nearly a decade ago, they were still relatively young and each establishing themselves in their careers. At far different stages of their respective basketball journeys and lives all these years later, they...
Mickelson, LIV casting shadow over U.S. OpenVideo

BROOKLINE, Mass. — Phil Mickelson lumbered his way down the first fairway and flashed a thumbs-up almost by habit, even if he wasn’t responding to an occasional encouraging word from behind the ropes or in the grandstands. In that respect, Tuesday felt like a typical U.S. Open. This is his...

Crazy plays, errors plague Pirates against Cardinals in 8th consecutive loss

Just when the Pittsburgh Pirates appeared run down during a seven-game losing streak, the St. Louis Cardinals made them chase them around the diamond in a rundown for the ages. Score it a fielder’s choice 6-4-2-5-6-2. That was part of a sequence of wild plays in the fourth inning of...
Doug Ferguson: Players who take Saudi money shouldn’t need PGA TourVideo

BROOKLINE, Mass. — Two players huddled on the practice range late in the afternoon at The Country Club. Only a few words were audible from each sentence, still enough to have a good idea of the topic. And it wasn’t anything about the U.S. Open. Even at the second-oldest championship...

Mitch Keller shows growth by expanding pitch portfolio, diversifying usage

It’s probably too early to say that Mitch Keller is “reinventing himself.” Based on his struggles at the Major League level (9-22 career record, 5.79 ERA), it’s easier to argue that the first edition of the Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher has never been a completely finished product.
