Thanks to the transfer portal, this March’s Cinderella stories are players, not teams

To find Cinderella stories at this men’s Final Four, you have to look at the name on the back of the jersey rather than the front.For the second time in the history of the NCAA Tournament’s modern-day bracketing practices, all four top seeds advanced to the national semifinals. It will be No. 1 Florida vs. No. 1 Auburn and No. 1 Houston vs. No. 1 Duke on Saturday in the national semifinals, a perfect ending to a most chalky March Madness. Only one double-digit seed reached the Sweet 16, and all of the teams in the regional semifinals were from Power 4 conferences.AdvertisementWhere have you gone, Loyola Chicago and Sister Jean? Check the transfer portal.Two of the very best players competing for a championship this weekend in San Antonio — Florida’s Walter Clayton Jr. and Auburn’s Johni Broome — might […]

How two of the Canadiens’ exceptional brains converged to earn a critical win

MONTREAL – The diminishing effects of stress on the human brain are well documented. It can lead you to make poor decisions, to do things you otherwise would not.When Montreal Canadiens forward Patrik Laine iced the puck with 30 seconds left and the goalie pulled and the Canadiens down a goal, it might have been a glaring example of those diminishing effects. That was a moment of high stress, considering where the Canadiens are in their season, how critical points in the standings are to them, and Laine made a poor decision.AdvertisementBut the Canadiens are blessed with two exceptional brains, and luckily they were on the ice at that moment.Several fans at Bell Centre began heading towards the exits, with a defensive zone draw coming and the Canadiens needing to navigate nearly 200 feet of ice to score when every […]

Is Mookie Betts or Shohei Ohtani the better athlete? Dodgers teammates weigh in

In one corner, standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 210 pounds, is Shohei Ohtani, hitter, pitcher and three-time unanimous MVP.In the other corner, standing 5-10 and weighing 175 pounds when fully nourished, is Mookie Betts, outfielder, infielder and one-time MVP.Which Los Angeles Dodgers superstar is the better athlete?AdvertisementThe Athletic posed the question to numerous Dodgers in recent weeks.“Oh man,” infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman said.“Oh God,” pitcher Tyler Glasnow said.“That’s a tough one,” third base coach Dino Ebel said.The beauty of the question is that even as baseball players, Ohtani and Betts are so different.Ohtani doesn’t play infield or outfield. Betts doesn’t pitch.Ohtani is stronger, with a career slugging percentage 50 points higher, and faster, with a sprint speed that ranked in the 70th percentile last season, compared to Betts in the 31st percentile (Surprisingly, the New York Yankees’ 220-pound catcher, Austin Wells, and […]

For Mikaela Shiffrin, the Olympic season has already started

NEW YORK — It’s early afternoon Tuesday, and Mikaela Shiffrin is sitting at the bar in a midtown Manhattan hotel, sipping tap water and noshing on shoestring fries — and talking about getting back onto the snow very soon.She’s five days removed from finishing her injury-interrupted season with her record-breaking 101st World Cup win, in the slalom at the World Cup finals at the Sun Valley Resort in Ketchum, Idaho. She should probably be trying to figure out what time she’s going to fall asleep on a deserted beach this afternoon.AdvertisementInstead, Alpine skiing’s greatest-ever skier is juggling some strength and aerobic workouts along with media and sponsor obligations, then flying to Austria for three days with her fiancé, Aleksander Kilde, the Alpine champion of Norway, before she zips back home to Colorado to get a little more time on the […]

‘Torpedomania’: MLB’s latest obsession leads to a wild week for bat makers

NEW YORK — Jared Smith and Kurt Ainsworth collectively have over 35 years of expertise in the bat-making industry. Yet nothing they’ve seen has sparked excitement quite like the unprecedented surge of interest in torpedo bats since this weekend.“I’ve gotten more messages about the torpedo bat — I’ve been doing this for over 20 years now — than I have on anything we have ever done in the history of our company,” said Ainsworth, the CEO and co-founder of Marucci Sports.Advertisement“This is Torpedomania.”The New York Yankees helped bring the torpedo bats mainstream this past weekend after they hit 15 home runs and scored 36 runs in three games against the Milwaukee Brewers. Five Yankees — Cody Bellinger, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Paul Goldschmidt, Anthony Volpe and Austin Wells — used torpedo bats in the opening series, and those players combined for […]

Alex Tuch shows his value as Buffalo climbs out of last place: Sabres thoughts

For the first time since Dec. 16, the Buffalo Sabres are not in last place in the Eastern Conference.The Sabres’ 13-game winless streak sank them to the bottom of the Eastern Conference, and it took 3 1/2 months for them to climb out of that spot. Their 5-2 win over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday, along with a Bruins loss to the Washington Capitals, put Buffalo one spot ahead of Boston in the standings.AdvertisementThe Sabres have now won five out of their last six games to help them stave off elimination from the playoffs until at least the weekend. This winning stretch could also push Buffalo down the draft order; the Sabres are tied with the Penguins for the seventh-worst points percentage in the NHL. But draft position is far from the minds of the players in the locker room, […]

Red Wings thoughts: Detroit’s lack of 5-on-5 scoring a season-long issue

The story of the Detroit Red Wings’ night Tuesday can be summed up by the final 30 seconds of two games played more than 1,000 miles apart.In St. Louis, where the Red Wings were trying to kick-start a late-season push for the Eastern Conference’s final wild-card spot, they couldn’t close out a late 1-0 lead over the Blues, giving up the tying goal with 29 seconds left in regulation and then falling in overtime. And in Montreal, where the Canadiens are holding down that very wild-card spot, Nick Suzuki secured a late comeback against the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers, first tying the score with nine seconds left, then winning it in overtime.AdvertisementFlip those outcomes, and Detroit would have been back within a point of the postseason cutline. Instead? With just eight games remaining, the gap is up to […]

NFL execs unfiltered on free agency: Did the Bengals get it right? Thoughts on all AFC teams

The Aaron Rodgers saga remains unresolved, but with most of NFL free agency complete, the time is right to check in with team executives for thoughts on all that has (and has not) unfolded.We begin with AFC teams today, followed by NFC teams on Thursday.AFC North teams take center stage, with the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers still without clear starting quarterbacks, and the Cincinnati Bengals opening their wallets (but possibly missing an opportunity). Are the Browns about to tank for Arch Manning? Have the Kansas City Chiefs done enough to solidify their left tackle situation? What are the Houston Texans thinking? Why would the Buffalo Bills rework Josh Allen’s contract with four years remaining? The New England Patriots won March, as coach Mike Vrabel put it, but still have lots of work ahead.AdvertisementWe’ll tackle these topics and many more. […]

Remembering Amir Abdur-Rahim, beloved basketball coach who ‘led with the heart’

Outside the Yuengling Center on the first day of March, the palm trees are still and partly cloudy skies are barely partly cloudy. Inside, the mood matches the moment. The South Florida men’s basketball team is smiling and breezy before what’s to be a light practice. A final home game, and the Senior Day celebration that comes with it, awaits the following afternoon. The season has not been what anyone expected, largely because the person everyone wants to be here isn’t. But this is a morning to stare at the bright side.Advertisement“It’s a great day! It’s a great day!” hollers guard Brandon Stroud, one of the trio of seniors who will be feted in about 24 hours, easily overcoming the music blasting from a sideline speaker.Three nights earlier, Stroud collapsed into a staff member’s arms, sobbing, during starting lineup introductions […]
