When you haven’t been on a bicycle for four years – and the reason is because last time you were cycling, you fell off, broke your shoulder bone clean in half and have been slightly traumatised by the sight of bicycles ever since – is it wise to sign up for a 15km mountain bike ride? When you were never much of a cyclist anyway? And you have never been…

Richmond, Va. – The Federated Auto Parts 400 is the final regular season race in the NASCAR Cup Series, and the drivers found a special way to thank their fans.

  In 1966, The Standells released a single titled “Dirty Water,” about Boston’s filthy harbor. The song became the city’s sports anthem and foreshadowed decades of Massachusetts malfeasance. The Boston sports mascot should be Whitey Bulger. Bill Belichick has defied or bent NFL rules, and last week the New York Times reported that the Boston Red Sox used Apple watches and television broadcasts — maybe the “Seinfeld” season during which…

Bill Rabinowitz The Columbus Dispatch @brdispatch When Oklahoma’s 31-16 victory over Ohio State was over, Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield grabbed an OU flag, paraded around the Ohio Stadium field and then planted it right in the Block O at midfield.

Richmond, Va. – When it was announced that both Denny Hamlin’s Cup Series and XFINITY Series wins – plus Joey Logano’s second-place XFINITY finish – from Darlington Raceway last weekend are now encumbered, the debate about the rule’s logic and validity was reignited. When a win is encumbered, it means the driver loses all the benefits of it – the regular season points and the playoff points, plus his crew…

As Hurricane Irma bore down on Florida, the state’s professional sports teams packed up and got out of town just like everyone else. Baseball’s Tampa Bay Rays, for example, moved their three-game home series against the New York Yankees out of Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. Instead, the two clubs will play Monday through Wednesday at Citi Field in New York, home of the Mets. The Rays are…

Mr. Maleson, who piloted Brazil’s first bobsled team at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, said he had spoken with the authorities in Brazil and France. “I started speaking to the I.O.C. in 2011,” Mr. Maleson said in a telephone interview. “Every year, we had scandals with the organizing committee and…

Cindy Bonner is the mother of two rising soccer stars, and like most parents of young athletes, she worries about them getting hurt. But to date, 16-year-old Julianna and 14-year-old Ashlyn have avoided any sort of overuse injuries. Bonner believes that much of this can be attributed to simple steps the family has taken over the years to guard against injuries. The first and perhaps biggest one is that they…

State lawmakers shelved a bill Friday that would have fast-tracked bus, train and other transit projects for Los Angeles’ 2028 Olympic Games and a new Inglewood arena for the Los Angeles Clippers. The measure, SB 789, unveiled a week ago, would have lessened the projects’ developers duties under the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA. The law requires developers to disclose and reduce a project’s effects on the environment, a…
