Jayhawks' Mason makes play of night as Kansas, Kentucky win at Champions Classic
NEW YORK — On the first can’t-miss night of college basketball’s young season, about a dozen players who are expected to be selected in the first round of the NBA draft streamed into the world’s most famous arena. But Frank Mason, a 5' 11" senior guard who originally committed to Towson before becoming a Kansas star, overshadowed all of them when he hit an iso, step-back game-winner to give the No. 7 Jayhawks a 77–75 win over No. 1 Duke. With one swish, Mason reset the college basketball conve..>> view originalSeahawks waive Michael; reshuffle running game

As Conor McGregor was celebrating his second UFC title after knocking out Eddie Alvarez this past Saturday night in New York, Nate Diaz was watching it all unfold from a luxury box high atop Madison Square Garden. McGregor was dominant in his performance although it didn't really surprise Diaz after he spent nearly seven rounds with the new champion in two fights earlier this year. In reality, Diaz says McGregor was gifted this title fight against an easier challenger, but doesn’t begrudge ..>> view originalDodgers' Dave Roberts is NL Manager of the Year
The interview was over but the camera still focused on Dave Roberts. As he took off his headset, his wife Tricia walked into the picture and planted a big, triumphant, nationally televised kiss on her husband, the newly crowned National League manager of the year.“I’m sure I’m going to get some ribbing,” Roberts said with a laugh. He wasn’t sure how much ribbing. He said he had about 200 unchecked text messages.Those were the spoils of victory. On Tuesday, Roberts became the first Dodgers mana..>> view originalNew Orleans Baby Cakes, what's not to love?
On Tuesday (Nov. 15) New Orleans' Triple-A baseball team, formerly known as the Zephyrs, was rechristened the New Orleans Baby Cakes at the Airline Drive ballpark. The cheeky nom de diamond drew disapproval from many onlookers and NOLA.com commenters, who predicted doom for the newborn Babes, based on the name change. But Baby Cakes-focused derision is misplaced. The new name is pure poetry. It is an utterly indigenous allusion that relies on the knowledge of New Orleans Carnival customs.

On Thursday, Jurgen Klinsmann presided over arguably the United States' worst loss of the modern era. By Friday, he may not have a job and, frankly, he shouldn't. There is no reasonable case to be made anymore that Klinsmann should continue as the U.S. manager. There are some results that cannot be overcome and losing 4-0 to Costa Rica is one of them. It was the Americans' worst shutout loss in World Cup qualifying since 1957 and the Ticos could have easily scored more. Worst of all, it was t..>> view originalIt's time the Cubs embrace their true identity: baseball superpower

And if history is any guide, everything familiar about the identity of the fan base and organization will be erased as the price of that title. The Cubs can no longer mask a century of incompetence with curses, afternoon drinking and low expectations. They've always had the resources of a superpower -- and now they have to start ac..>> view originalCleveland Cavaliers welcome Toronto to 'Frye-land' and second-half adjustment slows Raptors: Fedor's five observations
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Early Tuesday morning, LeBron James said he wasn't paying attention to the Cavs' record, not concerned they had the same start as last year and not interested in discussing whether this strong start has a different feel. But after topping the Toronto Raptors for the second time this season, it's getting tougher to overlook, especially after moving to 9-1, which matches their best start after 10 games.

It was only two years ago that Bill Parcells noted that Tony Romo, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback he had signed in 2003 for a $10,000 bonus, was playing with a sense of urgency, as if the then 34-year-old, with two back surgeries already on his resume, knew that time was slowly running out on his career. Romo was in the midst of the best season of his career then, but time was running out, of course. On Tuesday, Romo seemed to signal that it had expired, at least in Dallas.
