Growing up just a block away from Wrigley Field, her love for baseball started at a young age after her parents separated. Baseball and the Cubs became a shared interest between her and her father to bond. For…

Jawuan Harris could be proof that it works after he had a team-high 11 tackles, one interception and one forced fumble in leading Rutgers to a 35-24 victory against Illinois….

I grew up in the 1960s loving the NBA. That devotion made me a member of a small, insignificant club in southern Ohio, where the Reds and Bengals reign supreme and basketball is embraced only at the amateur levels. When I was a kid, my hometown team was the Cincinnati Royals, featuring stars such as Oscar Robertson and Jerry Lucas and, later, Nate “Tiny” Archibald and Tom Van Arsdale….

Weeks like this reinforce the fluidity of college football rankings. The new polls will come out Sunday, dictating the reaction to three of the top 10 teams taking road losses in Week 7. Voters will drop those teams in their ballots, but there’s no expectation that Clemson Tigers or Washington State Cougars will fall out of the rankings after losing on Friday night. There’s no way to take them out…
