“When I tore my ACL, my mindset, as you can imagine whenever you get any type of injury – it’s always doubt and depression,” Denver Broncos’ Von Miller told FORBES. “But I was quickly over that and I was on to the next phase of my career, and that’s bouncing back off of ACL surgery.” Miller came back from his 2014 surgery stronger than ever, as he became a Super Bowl…

Ndamukong Suh has been labeled a dirty player since his early days in the NFL. There have been incidents that prove his label to be accurate, from stomping on Aaron Rodgers’ leg to the time he kicked Matt Schaub in the groin, and several players around the league won’t let that go away. LeGarrette Blount is just the latest to suggest Suh is a cheap-shot artist, saying this after Sunday’s…

In movies, sequels aren’t always as good. The same applies to sports. So wish Alabama and Clemson plenty of luck as they go into the College Football Playoff championship game – because they’ve got a classic to try to recreate in Tampa, Florida on Monday night. More from FoxSports A year ago, Alabama beat Clemson 45-40 in a thriller. Here’s hoping this remake is more akin to ”Godfather…

Playing team sports in high school may not influence whether or not teens use heroin or abuse prescription drugs, a U.S. study suggests. Researchers examined data from more than 21,000 high school seniors surveyed between 2006 and 2014. Overall, they didn’t find any differences in prescription or illegal opioid use between students who played at least one competitive sport and non-athletes. The study did, however, find an increased…

Don’t let anyone tell you the Rose Bowl wasn’t the best bowl game of the 2016 season. USC (10-3) scored twice in the final 90 seconds to win the Rose Bowl 52-49 after trailing 49-35 heading into the fourth quarter. The winning score came courtesy of a Matt Boermeester field goal as time expired. He had missed two field goals earlier in the game, but drilled the 46-yard game-winner down…

The U.S. has yet to trail in the tournament, though it got a scare after blowing a 2-0 first-period lead to the Swiss. Jeremy Bracco added a…

Everybody loves a pro hockey game played outdoors. This is especially true when the bowl game it’s up against is a blowout. But for a time Monday, it appeared the game between the Blues and Blackhawks might be rained out or compromised by unseasonably warm weather in St. Louis. That is why these outdoor games should always been played in a place such as Duluth. In Minnesota’s Iron Range, the…

BY MARCUS S. MARION | mmarion@waxahachietx.com WAXAHACHIE — MT Patrick, Stevenson, Volentine, Robnett and Henry Curry fields may have bled the black and gray of Palmer, crimson and white of Red Oak, maroon and black of Ennis and the kelly green and white of Waxahachie, but there was one color every person attending the weekend’s memorial baseball tournament could agree on. The color orange. The…

One quick Google search can turn up thousands of inspirational quotes about building character after disappointment and ultimately turning it into success. Many of those messages are about baseball, where failing 66 percent of the time and success are synonymous. For Piute’s Kesler Blood, similar lessons last season became the driving force behind a terrific junior season as he helped lead the T-Birds to the 1A baseball championship in the…

Former Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin said he wondered when looking back on Alabama’s win over Washington if he was fully invested in the Tide’s semifinal victory. Kiffin told ESPN’s Paul Finebaum on Monday that he thought balancing his duties as Alabama’s offensive coordinator and Florida Atlantic’s new head coach would be “easier” than it turned out to be after he saw former Alabama defensive coordinator (and current Georgia head…

Love is a spectator sport where the players are also spectating. We gather friends around the Apple TV while we swipe through potential lovers on Tinder. We consider everyone we swap spit with fair game for public dissection, so long as they do something strange and compelling enough for a viral tweet. Dating app disasters have a place on Tumblr, Instagram, and the shelf at your local Barnes & Noble….

Denver Broncos GM John Elway might not be hiring someone from inside the building to replace Gary Kubiak, but he still could pluck his next head coach from within the family. So to speak. Immediately following Kubiak’s announcement Monday that he is indeed stepping down from the Broncos — and with Elway saying that he would not be hiring Kubiak’s replacement from the current staff — ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported…

Michigan passing game coordinator Jedd Fisch is going to become the new UCLA offensive coordinator, a source told FOX Sports Monday morning. In 2016, with Fisch as the Wolverines passing game coordinator and splitting play-calling duties with Tim Drevno, Michigan was No. 1 in the Big Ten in scoring and No. 2 in passing offense — despite breaking in a new QB. In his two years in Ann Arbor, Michigan went…

As Olympic Year 2016 came to a close, we see that sport is one of the few things with the power to unite all people in an increasingly fragile world. Sport is an anchor of stability for so many people, regardless of background, nationality or belief. For me, this is the underlying reason that explains the success of the Olympic Games Rio 2016. Like no other event in 2016,…
