The Colorado Rockies are in the midst of yet another disappointing season.
Not only are they buried at the bottom of the National League West, they’ve been the league’s worst team.
The Rockies are18 games out of first place, have been outscored by 142 runs, and seen key players like C.J. Cron and Kris Bryant miss significant time with injuries.
The graph of their playoff odds throughout the season explains in vivid detail just how hopeless this entire season has been.
Since leading the Celtics to their first title in over 30 years in 2008, coach Doc Rivers has had an up-and-down 15 years.
His regular season success with Boston, the Clippers and the 76ers has been undeniable—he’s received at least one vote for Coach of the Year in 12 different seasons since ’08—but Rivers hasn’t been able to get teams over the final hump. Los Angeles’s famed Lob City core fizzled without so much as a Western Conference finals appearance, and Philadelphia crashed out of the Eastern Conference semifinals this season in seven games.
SEC football coaches with long hair graphic can’t be unseen
Growing your hair out could give you an entirely different personality.
Whether it be due to a midlife crisis, some requirements for a job, or just because you simply don’t like having short hair, the more length your hair gets on the top of your head, the more your personality changes.
That can be said for almost every SEC coach as well. The month of July has given us some classic Twitter moments, but this SEC coaches graphic where they all have flowing hair might be near the top.

After watching as a tourist in 2022, Marketa Vondrousova is now a Wimbledon Champion
A lot of history has been made at Wimbledon in recent days.
Now Marketa Vondrousova has etched her own name in the annals of tennis.
History was made on the Mens’ side on Friday, as Novak Djokovic advanced to his 35th Grand Slam Final, setting a new mark for the sport. He will square off with Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday, as Alcaraz became the youngest Wimbledon Mens’ finalist since Rafael Nadal in 2006.
Vondrousova became the lowest-ranked woman to win Wimbledon, defeating Jabeur 6-4, 6-4.
Here is a sentence one didn’t envision writing a day ago, much less at the start of the tournament: Markéta Vondroušová is your 2023 Wimbledon women’s singles champion.
The 24-year-old Czech was not seeded at the start of the event, in fact coming into this season her record on grass was 2–10. Never mind, she played the tournament of her life, winning by far the biggest title of her career. In today’s final she beat a nervous Ons Jabeur of Tunisia—more on that later—in straight sets, 6–4, 6–4.
Apart from a select few high draft picks, most participants in the NBA Summer League are simply trying to survive. They will not, in all likelihood, become All-Stars, but they may come to provide valuable roster depth in the G League or overseas.
With this in mind, Mavericks forward Marcus Bingham Jr. appeared to make a career-halting mistake Friday evening by scoring on the wrong basket. However, he was vindicated after the fact.
