If the NBA had held off on its voting for the MVP until the end of the playoffs, Jalen Brunson and Victor Wembanyama would have entered the Finals neck and neck.

Charles Barkley spoke as no other TV talker would when he called the Spurs “the dumbest basketball team in the history of civilization.” Tell us how you really feel, Chuck.

Molinaro also discusses the Celtics’ potential trade for an injury-plagued Greek Freak, huge World Cup viewership and who has become MLB’s most fascinating pitcher.

Will a red card sink the USA? Doesn't have to be that way, despite the loss of top scorer Folarin Balogun for Monday's game.

After the inflation of hope for the U.S. national team — followed by hollow disappointment — let's not exaggerate what red, white and blue soccer means to the country.

It isn’t surprising that Notre Dame and Ohio State “patched” together unprecedented multi-year multi-million-dollar corporate deals after the NCAA approved selling advertising space on jerseys.

It's fair to assume that it rankled some (many?) North Carolina faithful this week when former Tar Heels guard Seth Trimble chose to play his fifth season at Louisville.
