WASHINGTON – This building never experienced euphoria like this, never shook as if the fault lines beneath were about to separate with seismic force. This building was always silenced by being on the wrong end of Dwyane Wade‘s superstar turn, of LeBron James‘ birth as a dream killer, of David West‘s soul-crushing step-back jumpers and of Paul Pierce briefly contemplating retirement after a 3-pointer fell a wee bit too late….

Nathan Redmond has scored seven Premier League goals this season Southampton remain on course for a top-half Premier League finish as they held off a late fightback from a meek, already relegated Middlesbrough.

Half-time substitute Nathan Redmond curled an exquisite strike into the…

Alexis Sanchez has scored 50 Premier League goals for Arsenal Champions League-chasing Arsenal moved within a point of fourth-placed Liverpool with a comfortable Premier League victory over Stoke. Despite collecting the three points, manager Arsene Wenger faced further protests from his own supporters during the game, as they flew a plane over the Bet365 Stadium and held banners inside the ground calling for him to leave the club. But the…

Gabriel Jesus has scored five goals in six starts for Manchester City Manchester City held on to beat Leicester City and move back into third place after referee Bobby Madley disallowed Riyad Mahrez’s late penalty for the Foxes. Mahrez, who had been brought down by Gael Clichy, had the chance to make it 2-2 but slipped as he took his spot-kick and touched the ball with his right foot as…

News came down Friday that injured Mets closer Jeurys Familia had surgery due to a blood clot in his shoulder and will miss several months. Given the conversation I had earlier Friday with sports injury expert John Gallucci Jr, president of JAG Physical Therapy, I wasn’t too surprised.  Gallucci is currently the medical coordinator for Major League Soccer, overseeing all 20 teams nationwide, as well as the chair of the…

Want your son to play in the NFL? Then throw him in the pool. Or hand him a tennis racket or cricket bat. Those sports were just a few of the non-football activities the 49ers’ most recent draft picks took part in as kids, thus supporting the stance held by former 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh and others that the best athletes usually are the ones who played multiple sports. According…

If you think about what constitutes a sport, the contest that took place recently at Robert Morris University checked many of the boxes. Did the competitors put in many hours of practice? Yes. Did they possess physical and mental gifts? Affirmative. Was teamwork a crucial ingredient for success? Absolutely. The only thing missing, really, was perspiration — it’s hard to break a sweat when you’re sitting in a climate-controlled room,…

So this list isn’t easy. When we compiled the most underpaid athletes in Cleveland, it wasn’t hard to get a list of 10 together. The intent was to get to 10 for this list of the most overpaid athletes as well. Who’s going to pass up a chance to tell a millionaire he’s not earning his keep? But it couldn’t be done. This list isn’t 10 players long. And as…

If you’re a sports fan in Washington D.C. on Thursday, we’re here to give you a virtual hug. Wednesday night was super rough with the Capitals blowing yet another Game 7 and the Wizards falling to the Boston Celtics. At least the Nationals won a game, right? And it was over the Baltimore Orioles, too. That’s got to help just a little. Just how bad is it in our nation’s…

Turner sports a quintessential baseball beard, a red one, and he pays homage to another redheaded talent with Ed Sheeran’s popular ’17 track. Also he just digs pop music, having used Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” in ’13. Sheeran is a big improvement.
