Team USA advances to quarterfinals after beating France in men's basketball
- August 17, 2016
This group plays in a style that is far more aesthetically pleasing using ball movement and a fun drive and kick game to create open looks. Nobody has managed to slow this team down offensively, and it doesn't get much better for opposing teams when they try to answer themselves. (more...)

Red Sox to put Wright on DL, Ramirez on bereavement list
- August 17, 2016
The Red Sox (64-52) have won three straight games after losing four of five. The second inning would be his downfall. "I threw strikes to get us back in the dugout as quick as possible". Boston's second inning began with four straight hits, including Andrew Benintendi's RBI double. The score was 14-1 at this point and Boston added two more late in the inning to make it a six run inning and a 16-1 lead after five. (more...)

Usain Bolt easily advances in 200m
- August 17, 2016
I get nervous because it's my favorite event and I don't want to lose. I've recovered from the 100m. "I'm not a morning person".

We Finally Know Why The Olympic Competition Pools Turned Green
- August 17, 2016
According to USA Today , the solution is pretty simple, as they are going to take all the green water, drain it, and replace it with water that isn't green. For almost a week now a mystery has surrounded the Olympics and it wasn't what country would reign supreme: why did those pools turn green? "Of course it is an embarrassment because we are hosting the Olympic Games", he told the AP. (more...)

Lets not pack Dak Prescott off to Canton just yet

Showers didn't have the benefit of playing with first team players, but the second year player has one cannon of an arm. Goff is the planned future of the Rams' franchise but Mannion was definitely putting on an audition for the other 31 teams in the National Football League who may want his services. (more...)

Pakistan 40 runs away from winning final test
- August 17, 2016

LEADING OFF: Red Sox on the road again, Taillon breaking out
- August 17, 2016
Selected by Cleveland with the fifth overall pick in the 2011 amateur draft, Pomeranz gave up Rajai Davis' leadoff homer in the fourth and RBI double in the eighth. And to think the big story on Tuesday night in the seventh inning was the combined no-hitter that former Oriole Eduardo Rodriguez and reliever Matt Barnes were working on until Steve Pearce broke it up after one out with an infield single.

Ravichandran Ashwin and Wriddhiman Saha steer India away from trouble
- August 17, 2016
Opener Lokesh Rahul chipped in with a brisk 50 earlier but India's batsmen were otherwise bogged down until Ashwin and Saha cut loose against the second new ball, plundering 46 runs off the final nine overs. He already had two tons against the Islanders before the series began, but he has turned out to be one of India's best batsmen in this series. Miguel Cummins also captured three wickets for 54 runs in 21.4 overs, eight of which were maiden. (more...)

France rally to hold USA to three-point win
- August 17, 2016
What about these close games? Except for his size, Oscar Schmidt could walk down a city street in the US unnoticed. One could tinker with the numbers a variety of ways, and clearly nothing applies universally, but the majority of players come back from the Olympics playing better basketball. (more...)

England's Jimmy Anderson apologises to umpires for Pakistan petulance
- August 17, 2016
Pakistan fast bowler Sohail Khan took four wickets as England moved on to 5-184 at tea on the first day of the third test at Edgbaston on Wednesday. The toss is vital: England have not lost at home when batting first since 2012 (W11, D2). However, Edgbaston has a reputation as a spin-friendly surface and Shah, still very much in the infancy of his Test career, will look to get back to his best this week. (more...)
