The arm is special, strong and accurate, able to get the ball where it needs to go. This is a fine thing for a quarterback, but it isn’t what separates Dwayne Haskins from the pack. It is where his passes go that lifts a window and reveals the makeup of a youngster who one day soon could be wearing a […]

ARE, Sweden — Mikaela Shiffrin could not breathe. She had no energy. Self-doubt had set in. Then came some encouragement from her coaches: “The reality is you have to push for 60 seconds. Everything else doesn’t matter. Just 60 seconds.” They were perhaps the sweetest 60 seconds of her career. Fighting off a lung infection, Shiffrin delivered her most resilient […]

Cardiff City could launch a negligence claim against Nantes as soon as this week if an official report finds Emiliano Sala was flown to his death by a pilot who did not have the correct licence. Senior figures at Cardiff are bracing themselves for an escalation in a legal row in which they were given until the end of last […]

The Greek international defender, 27, has emerged as one of the top targets for the Red Devils while attracting interest from elsewhere. Manolas has a £31.5m release clause currently in his deal with the Serie A giants.

If 2018 could be a snapshot for Toh Wei Soong, his triumphant outings at the Commonwealth Games and Asian Para Games would be just a small part of a longer journey.

The Rebels claimed a 34-27 win in Canberra holding off a late run from the undermanned Brumbies who lost stars David Pocock and Toni Pulu to injuries in the […]

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Dennis Smith Jr. has already had his conversation with Nate Robinson, who was a great champion with the Knicks. Slam-Dunk champion, that is. Robinson was a three-time winner. “Nate The Great” was never charged with leading the Knicks out of the wilderness of what will be six straight seasons without a playoff berth. That task has fallen […]

TAMPA — All baseball business these days comes with heaping scoops of outrage and scrutiny. Had Luis Severino been in position, say, two years ago, to sign the exact extension he did Friday with the Yankees, a few agents might have called favored reporters to moan that the pitcher had undersold himself and a couple of websites might have mulled […]

Pro golfer Matt Kuchar announced today that he’s seen the light on the decision to stiff his fill-in caddie at a tournament in Mexico in November, no doubt due to the hearty all-shit diet he’s consumed in the months since. Kuchar offered an apology and says he has now settled up with caddie David Ortiz: Kuchar competed in the Mayakoba […]

One or two sources later claim the midfielder would “only” be on 300k.  But what’s £100k among friends? Then Jadon Sancho, originally from a tough estate in Camberwell, twinkles to life for a German team in Spurs’ Champions League tie at Wembley. Further proof in one week, then, that the football world is shrinking. Or rather that football is shrinking […]
