Don’t count out Ryan Howard just yet. The former National League MVP may be 37 years old and unemployed for the first time in his major-league career, but he’s not ready to walk away either. That was evidenced in a new video posted by Whistle Sports titled ‘No Days Off.’ The video takes us behind the scenes in Howard’s rigorous offseason training, which his training partner says is aimed at…

Over the next few weeks, college football’s bowl extravaganza will sweep the nation. Which, in addition to storied traditions like the Rose Bowl, means we’ll get not one, not two, not three but four games held in MLB stadiums: the Miami Beach Bowl at Marlins Park, the St. Petersburg Bowl at Tropicana Field, the Cactus Bowl at Chase Field and the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium. Of course, this is hardly the…

If you’re a little sick of the quarterback controversy talk out of Dallas this NFL season, you now at least have someone to blame. Rookie quarterback Dak Prescott has been a major weapon for the Cowboys this year. He played well enough out of the gate to steal the starting job from Tony Romo while the veteran recovered from a back injury suffered in preseason. With only a few weeks left…

Anyone But Murray, eh? The ABM meme could hardly seem more tatty and irrelevant now, seven years after it was spawned with spite and ignorance, before the difficult Scot had proved Little Englanders and other snipers wrong with his eloquent tennis racket. Instead, the question that is now being asked – and answered in the affirmative – across nearly every media platform is an uplifting one: is Andy Murray this…

There are all sorts of ways to lose to the Packers, and the Bears have experienced most of them during the past 25 years. But it would be hard to find one as Bear-ish as the way they lost Sunday. Thirty-six seconds left in the game, the score tied after a valiant Bears comeback and the Packers at their own 26-yard line on third-and-11 without a timeout left. In literature,…

I have just got off the phone with BT “customer services” in South Shields and, as usual with BT, I am fuming. I decided to check my latest BT bill online – I opted for paperless bills many months ago – only to discover I am being charged £6 a month for access to BT Sport. This is odd, as I never watch it, and nor did I ever agree…

HEBRON, West Bank –  For over a week, Palestinian soccer fans have been enjoying a special Christmas-season present: the first visit by Chilean soccer club Deportivo Palestino to the West Bank. Two-time winners of Chile’s Premier Division and quarter finalists in this year’s Copa Sudamerica, Palestino was founded in 1920 in the capital city Santiago by Palestinian immigrants. The team has a huge following among Palestinians and President Mahmoud…

The rivalry between #CR7 and Barcelona’s Lionel Messi has gone back and forward for close to a decade since the two players finished second and third respectively in the voting for the 2007 Ballon d’Or. The intense rivalry has also been played out through the lens of their respective clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona and to a lesser extent their countries, Portugal and Real Madrid. Each has pushed the other…

Everybody loves a good prank, and few could argue the prank Kenta Maeda recently pulled on a youth baseball team in Japan was anything less than glorious. During an appearance on a Japanese game show, the Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander channeled the “Uncle Drew” character created by Cleveland Cavaliers star Kyrie Irving, meaning he dressed as an old man with designs on schooling some baseball hopefuls. Check it out. If…

South Africa did take part as early as the 1960 games in Squaw Valley, USA, but that was during apartheid, and it was subsequently banned from participation till 1994. Since then it’s taken part in every games except the last one in…

Not long after Jay Rodriguez trotted onto the field for his Southampton debut in 2012, he quickly became one of England’s brightest young prospects. He went on to make close to 80 first team appearances and earned his first England cap over the next two years when, at the tail end of 2013-14 season, his career was totally derailed by a horrific knee injury. As his teammates were becoming staples in the England team…
