Mandatory Credit: Peter Casey-USA TODAY Sports(Photo: Peter Casey-USA TODAY Sports) CONCORD, N.C. — Joey Logano earned a critical win at Charlotte Motor Speedway to move into the third round of NASCAR’s playoffs on a sloppy day for some of the biggest contenders in the Chase for…

0 Shares Print CONCORD, N.C. — Matt Kenseth, Kyle Busch and Dale Earnhardt Jr. all got the raw end of the deal when they got together with other drivers during the Sprint Cup Series race Sunday at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Here are three things we learned about the U.S. national soccer team in Saturday’s 3-2 overtime loss to Mexico at the Rose Bowl: 1. The U.S. program is in disarray: On the same day Coach Juergen Klinsmann’s senior national team was outplayed by Mexico, the U.S. U-23 team missed out on an opportunity to qualify for the 2016 Olympics by losing to Honduras in the semifinals of the CONCACAF qualifying tournament…

STAMFORD, Conn. – Goalie Jaime Leonoff stood in the Connecticut Whale locker room, her hair drenched in sweat and the newly sewn logo on her jersey scuffed up with black streaks from flying pucks.  The 22-year-old Montreal native had experienced cheers and victories before as a goalie for Yale and for national teams. But on Sunday afternoon at Chelsea Piers in Stamford, Conn., she experienced them for the first time…

Vladimir Putin turned 63 on Wednesday, and he celebrated in a rather unorthodox manner: by partaking in an all-star hockey game with former NHL stars and Russian cabinet members. The leader, famous for posing shirtless on horseback and in other unashamedly macho situations, played in a hockey game Wednesday night alongside former NHL stars. As you’d expect, Putin’s team won. And the man himself scored seven…

The U.S. Men’s National Team fell to Mexico on a late goal in excruciating fashion on their home soil on Saturday night.  The U.S. equalized in the 108th minute to put the teams tied at 2-2, but a goal by Paul Aguilar in the 118th minute made it 3-2 Mexico in a CONCACAF playoff game at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.

Surfing is probably going to be in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which is stupid and everyone I know agrees.  For those who don’t pay attention to fringe sport, Olympic inclusion is a long and arduous process. The International Olympic Committee, always looking to “prune the tree” gathers regularly and votes on a slate of sports based upon host cities’ desires. Golf and rugby sevens will be the only new sports…

This the tournament in which you’ve heard about Jordan Morris lighting it up. And it’s true, the Sounders Academy…

LONDON—A spate of troubled sponsorship deals in Europe is causing headaches for some of the world’s top soccer clubs. Spanish La Liga team RCD Espanyol cut a deal worth around $45 million with Power8 last year that put the unknown technology company’s name on its stadium in Barcelona and logo on team shirts. Power8’s name already…
