To figure out what these professionals don’t want you to do before making an appointment, Runner’s World asked two chiropractors who specialize in running about what common training flaws are leading to patients ending up in their offices over and over again.

LaVar Ball, the outspoken father of top NBA prospect Lonzo Ball, came under fire Wednesday after comments he made to a female Fox Sports reporter during a broadcast of “The Herd with Colin Cowherd.” Ball was talking to Cowherd about the sales of his Big Baller Brand shoes, and reporter Kristine Leahy inquired about how many shoes were sold. “Stay in your lane,” Ball said to Leahy while…

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…

For an accurate sense of whether Real Madrid’s James Rodriguez would actually be of much use to Manchester United, consider how his managers have viewed him in the Spanish capital. 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….

John Wall, after another playoff loss. (Adam Glanzman/Getty Images) “Joys are forgotten, but sadness, never.” — Mikhail Lermontov, “A Hero Of Our Time” This most recent era of Washington sports has delivered many bundles of joy, from individual awards (MVPs for Bryce Harper and Alex Ovechkin, a Cy Young for Max Scherzer, lots of Vine views for Kirk Cousins) to division titles (a combined five over the past two years) to sustained relevance (the…

It was all about the music — and sports too — at Fox’s upfront presentation Monday evening at the Beacon Theatre in New York. The 90-minute-plus presentation spent a good chunk of time emphasizing Fox’s sports properties, with appearances by Fox Sports play-by-play announcer Joe Buck and former Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, who joins Fox Sports as a Major League Baseball analyst. All the praise isn’t surprising when you consider the network is…

It’s Kelly Olynyk’s world and we’re just living in it. Sure, Bradley Beal and Isaiah Thomas scored more points in the Celtics’ Game 7 win over the Wizards but the real story was Olynyk, who erupted for 26 points off the bench, including 14 in the fourth quarter. Judging by the reaction online, he’s obviously the best player in the NBA now, so what better time to take a look at…
