The Mattinglys, Phillies' father-son manager-GM duo, are embracing an unexpected season
By the time Preston Mattingly was a teenager, his famous father had retired from baseball but still hung around the game. The Mattingly name is synonymous with certain things in this sport; as Don visited New York Yankees spring training in the early 2000s as a guest instructor and Preston accompanied him, the kid overheard a nickname he made his own.“I would call him ‘Cap,'” Preston said. “I don’t think he loved that one.”Advertisement

How Gregg Popovich quietly became the Spurs' secret weapon: 'He's speaking life into you'

The Wizards' tank paid off. Here is how owner Ted Leonsis responded
There were nights — many nights — when Ted Leonsis would sit courtside at Capital One Arena and not particularly like what he saw on the court, which was expected. Worse, though, might have been what he heard.“There were some moments where people are yelling at you,” Leonsis said. “Some of the social media posts were enlightening, I’d say.”Advertisement

How the Giants rebuilt their defensive tackle depth chart in 3 weeks: Giants notes

How NFL teams create schedule release videos: Memes, cameos and taking a joke (but not too far)
When Kenton Olson sat with the Seattle Seahawks social media team in 2016 to brainstorm their schedule release approach, he posed a question:What’s something that would get my mom to pay attention to the schedule?It sparked inspiration for the NFL’s first team-produced schedule release video, where the Seahawks baked cupcakes tied to their opponents. It was instantly popular, and within the next few years, every team began producing a schedule release video of its own. Little did Olson and his t...
MLB Draft 2026 top 100 prospects: Roch Cholowsky, Vahn Lackey hold steady at the top
This draft class started off in much more promising fashion than it’s ending, as the top tier of the high school group never really took off, and the depth among college arms just isn’t there. There’s still plenty of value here, particularly for teams drafting in the 20-50 range, and there’s overall quite a bit of depth in the high school pitching crop — not my preferred demographic up top, but a great pond in which to fish after your first pick.Advertisement

Messi sends World Cup warning with dazzling MLS masterclass
What separates great players from good ones is their inherent ability to retain the hunger, passion and the fitness to perform at the highest level, despite having been there and done that.

Sorana Cîrstea's final tennis season and the right moment to retire from sports
ROME — Tennis retirements are often painful. Whether it was Rafael Nadal’s agonizing final season in 2024, or Andy Murray barely being able to take the court for his last Wimbledon in the same year, there have been numerous reminders of how hard it is to pick the right moment to say goodbye. Mic-drops, like Pete Sampras winning the 2002 U.S. Open, are rare; Serena and Venus Williams both avoided the word as much as they could, with the latter coming back from a hiatus to play at 45 and the forme...

The Preakness is a long-shot bettor's dream, but is Laurel Park?
For the first time in history, the Preakness will be run at Laurel Park instead of Pimlico Race Course, after Pimlico closed for a major rebuild. The track change has created an entirely different backdrop for the second leg of the Triple Crown, as Laurel features wider, more sweeping turns and a much shorter run to the first turn, which could place greater importance on tactical speed, early positioning and avoiding wide trips into the opening bend. Unlike Pimlico, which long carried a reputati...
