Kris Bryant made the final out of Game 7, smiling the entire time
By Ben Cosman | The final out of the World Series was not necessarily an easy one. Rajai Davis, representing the tying run, stood at first base. After a 17-minute rain delay, the field was slick. Kris Bryant had to sprint in to field Michael Martinez's grounder, and his foot even slipped out from under him as he fired the ball to Anthony Rizzo. And yet Bryant was smiling the entire time, like he knew he was about to clinch the Cubs' 8-7 victory and their first World Series in 108 years: "Oh..>> view originalFoles gets start when Chiefs host Jags (Nov 2, 2016)
When they take the field Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium, both the Kansas City Chiefs and Jacksonville Jaguars hope to have different starting quarterbacks than in their most recent game. For the Chiefs (5-2), they will go with backup quarterback Nick Foles in the starter's seat, stepping in for Alex Smith, who is being held out of the game because "something" happened last Sunday in Kansas City's victory over Indianapolis. More on that later. With the Jaguars (2-5), they will have the same q..>> view originalJoanna Jedrzejczyk wants legend status, despite not 'having big boobies' or 'being the prettiest'
Since winning the strawweight title in March 2015, Joanna Jedrzejczyk has built name for herself as one of the best female strikers in the UFC.

CLEVELAND — The Chicago Cubs, the best team in baseball, won the World Series. This is going to look a lot less mysterious to future generations, when they look back at the standings, the stats, the eventual careers these players will have. Decades from now, the future folk might not remember what a Bryan Shaw is, but they might know Kris Bryant, and they’ll look at the 2016 Cubs and nothing will seem out of place. What a fine team, they might remark. The rest of us will just sit here, blinking..>> view originalWednesday NBA Roundup: Boston Celtics Solidifying Status as East's 2nd-Best
Al Horford may still be the key piece that makes the Boston Celtics a top threat to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the East, but the way his team scrapped without him in a 107-100 win against the Chicago Bulls suggested he's hardly the only one. Horford sat out with a concussion, Avery Bradley received a cortisone shot before the game and Jae Crowder crumpled to the floor after 14 minutes with a sprained left ankle...and the Celtics still subdued the previously unbeaten Bulls. To do it, they leane..>> view originalNorv Turner declines to elaborate on reasons for “hardest decision” he's ever made
One day after Vikings offensive coordinator Norv Turner walked away from his post in a move that his boss described as very surprising, it’s still unclear why Turner called it quits. Speaking to Mark Craig of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Turner gave a vague and incomplete explanation of his reasons what he called the “hardest decision I’ve ever made.” “It’s the hardest decision based on a number of circumstances that I’m not going to go into,” Turner told Craig. “A tough day.

The countdown has started to the end of Ronda Rousey's career in the UFC. The former women's bantamweight champion revealed on Tuesday that her upcoming bout with Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 would be 'one of my last fights.' Now UFC president Dana White has confirmed that news as well by saying that Rousey has informed him that her career will come to a close in the near future, although he didn't want to let the cat out of the bag on how many fights she actually has left in her.

The impossible was part of the plan. When Theo Epstein left the Boston Red Sox -- the franchise he helped break the Curse of the Bambino -- for the Chicago Cubs, the goal wasn’t to build the team into a squad that could compete for the National League Central crown for a few years and sell a ton of tickets. The goal was to win the World Series.
