Honestly, there are so many amazing sports moments in history that it’s easy to forget exactly how they went down. Sure, we remember the big names — Shaq, Allen Iverson, Michael Phelps — but do you remember every single detail of these amazing plays? Of course not. That’s why you might not be surprised to recall that many of these moments involved that hot dog from Snapchat that everyone loves…

Don’t go outside. That’s your pro tip for the weekend. The heat index is above average for most of the country, humidity is turning everywhere into a sauna, and it’s just no fun. It’s OK, though, because we’ve got some sweet sports to keep you entertained throughout the weekend. We’re hitting the business end of Wimbledon, and baseball is heating up after the All-Star break.

LOUDON, N.H. — Kyle Larson has made a habit of flunking NASCAR inspection. Knocked from the top of the points standings this week because of an inspection failure, Larson was stripped of his pole Friday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and had his winning time tossed out for yet another infraction. He will start at the rear of the field in Sunday’s Cup race. Photos: Race Weekend at New Hampshire…

NASCAR driver Ryan Newman knows the importance of staying strong and fit for his day job. But he has his own way of exercising, which includes doing work on his 208-acre, North Carolina farm. So he doesn’t really understand the cycling fad that seems to have taken over NASCAR, with drivers like Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Matt Kenseth and Jamie McMurray regularly trading their four wheels for two —…

In April, Major League Baseball celebrated the 70th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking its color barrier.

Last summer, millions watched as a hometown hero returned to reclaim victory in a winner-take-all battle as the leader of a group that for years knew nothing but heartbreaking loss. No, I’m not talking about the King of the NBA East, LeBron James. I’m talking about the King of the North, Jon Snow, and his victory in the “Battle of the Bastards,” the penultimate episode of last season’s “Game of…

Dak Prescott is the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. He’s coming off a phenomenally successful season, and if his play in the future bears any resemblance to what he did in 2016, he’ll be in that position for a long, long time.
