Okay, hear me out here. I know a lot of gamers aren’t going to be particularly interested in monitoring their Corsi and other “fancy stats” because, well, it’s a video game.  Do we really need the incorporation of advanced analytics for maximum enjoyment of a hockey video game? Probably not. But it’s inarguable that there’s a growing emphasis on analytics within the hockey community these days. Incorporating more evaluation methods beyond just classic…

Fox Sports 1 host Kristine Leahy, the target of LaVar Ball’s dismissive rant on her show with Colin Cowherd Wednesday, revealed Thursday the combative father wasn’t the only one to threaten her within 24 hours. Leahy said she has received death threats since footage of the heated interaction — in which Ball told her to “stay in your lane” and that “something’s coming to you” — swept through the media world….

CBS Sports will remain the home of the Army-Navy game through 2028.

Former President George W. Bush is showing life after the White House can be considerably less stressful and carefree. Bush had some fun at the expense of a Fox Sports reporter while attending a baseball game Wednesday. The former president injected himself into Fox Sports Southwest’s Emily Jones’ report by walking by and apparently saying “hey.” The Bush family has a long history in Major League Baseball, with the 43rd…

Ricky Carmichael: It sure doesn’t. Ryan’s physical and mental dedication to the sport was second to none. He had a 10-year tenure at the pinnacle of the sport with virtually zero time off due to his attendance and injury-less career. With that type of dedication and effort, and the mental taxation of being in a title hunt each and every year, it can be exhausting.  Jeff Emig: No, it…

reader comments 23 LOS ANGELES, Calif.—On a hot day in April, I drove to a divey-looking sound stage in North Hollywood. It was camouflaged in an unnoticeable compound of warehouses off a busy boulevard. What I found inside was a dimly lit maze of structures, accented by the circus glow of neon LEDs. The people who were leading me through the maze were professional Hollywood-types, people making a TV show…

Rafa Benitez had one hell of a job with the player when at the Bernabeu helm, from 2015. President Florentino Perez wanted his galacticos playing and insisted that Benitez pick the Colombian, though the manager was perfectly aware of the training record….

For some teams, the Final Four is the ultimate destination. It’s a realistic, if mostly improbable, goal for almost every team in the tournament, especially now that there have been a handful of double-digit seeds to make it that far in the past few years. If you enter as a No. 7 seed, you may harbor title aspirations, of course. But when you stare at the draw, your eyes aren’t…

Criticizing his son’s former teammates at UCLA wasn’t enough. Nor was disparaging the players Lonzo Ball will be battling for draft position. LaVar Ball, the mouthpiece that never stops, took a few shots at a female reporter on Wednesday. The father of Lonzo Ball, the former UCLA star and projected top-three NBA pick, went on “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” on Fox Sports and got into a heated exchange with…

Maria Sharapova has withdrawn from the Italian Open French Open organisers had “no grounds to penalise” Maria Sharapova by denying her a wildcard entry to the tournament, says the Women’s Tennis Association. The Russian, 30, was ranked too low to gain direct entry as she continues her return from a 15-month drugs ban. The French Tennis Federation (FFT) chose not to hand Sharapova a wildcard to “protect” the sport’s standards….
