Rebilas, USA TODAY Sports) SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Tim Tebow might be hitless in the Arizona Fall League, but he’s not friendless.

Justin Bieber Casually Crashed This School’s Soccer Practice – MTV.com
Justin Bieber is confusing. One minute, he’s refusing to do meet and greets and take selfies with fans, and the next minute, he’s joining some random students’ soccer practice. Guess he just wants to show fan love on his own terms. The 22-year-old is in London this week to headline four nights at the O2 Arena as part of his Purpose world tour. In between shows, he showed up at…

WATCH: Former Arizona State golfers completes absurd, soccer … – CBSSports.com
This soccer-style trick shot is really incredible. I would undoubtedly shred an Achilles or ACL if I even attempted this, and yet trick-shot artist Mathias Schjoelberg, formerly of Arizona State, pulls it off with ease. My first thought was that he was going to flip it up to himself with his feet, but the step-by-step process (no pun intended) here is pretty amazing. Well done, Mathias. This is not the…

DERRICK ROSE LAWSUIT LOS ANGELES (AP) Lawyers for a woman who filed a lawsuit accusing NBA star Derrick Rose and two of his friends of rape failed to disclose text messages to the defense, but the lapse was not significant enough to derail the civil trial, a judge ruled.

Why Baseball Revived A 60-Year-Old Strategy Designed To Stop Ted Williams – FiveThirtyEight
Around the middle of the 20th century, there was no more fearsome hitter in baseball than Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox. Williams could do it all at the plate: hitting for contact — his .406 average in 1941 was the last time anybody hit .400 in season; smashing extra-base hits — he’s second only to Babe Ruth in career slugging percentage; and relentlessly working the count — his…

The Chicago Cubs Are Baseball’s Best Smelling Team – Wall Street Journal

Baseball’s Champagne Parties Need to Chill – Wall Street Journal
Look: You know I am not in the habit of discouraging the responsible consumption of alcohol. Especially during this presidential election cycle. But baseball’s champagne celebrations have gotten absurd—and need to be chilled. It’s not the idea of a champagne celebration, which I happily endorse, though I suggest taking it easy, because champagne hangovers are the pits. It’s the frequency. Baseball totally overdoes it on the…
Baseball, Bias and Decision-Making – Knowledge@Wharton
Bias is inherent in decision-making because human beings, despite their best efforts, will always bring their point of view into the game. That’s certainly the case with baseball umpires. Research by Etan Green, a Wharton professor of operations, information and decisions, shows how umpires adjust their calls based on what information they think they know when a play is in motion. The research, “What Does it Take to Call a…
