Mrs. A has seen it all. Born in 1909 on Fort Washington Avenue between 168th and 169th Streets in Washington Heights. Served the military, housing some 500 Army volunteers (Fourth Brigade, 22nd Regiment). Housed tanks. Opened home to the city’s fastest runners, longest jumpers and swiftest hurdlers, starting in ’14. Expanded scope, from local to regional to the entire East Coast; throughout America; across the wider world. Stayed local. Never moved.

Wyndham Clark won the U.S. Open just four days ago, but Justin Thomas thinks an appropriate amount of time has passed for the trash-talking to begin. JT threw a playful jab Clark’s way early on in their first-round pairing at the Travelers Championship on Thursday.
The hilarious back-and-forth came on the Par 4 12th hole, the group’s third hole of the day. After Thomas hit his approach shot short of the flag, Clark was left with 75 yards on his second shot.

The U.S.
Bust. It’s the dirtiest four-letter word in fantasy football.
Fantasy managers who drafted players such as Russell Wilson, Jonathan Taylor and Deebo Samuel last season know the term (and its consequences) all too well. Selecting a bust, especially in the earlier rounds of your draft, can be detrimental to your chances of fielding a true fantasy league postseason contender.
Possible Fantasy Busts: Quarterbacks | Running Backs
To me, the term “bust” includes players who either don’t live up to their draft position or were selected to play prominent roles who fail in the stat sheets.
One of the greatest coaches and overall team-builders in NBA history is going to draft one of the best prospects in modern NBA history No. 1 Thursday tonight. The combination of Gregg Popovich and Victor Wembanyama has predictably made us salivate and wonder what it might be like to see someone with a skill set we can’t quite fathom in the hands of someone who built a modern dynasty that yielded five championships and 22 straight trips to the playoffs.
By now, we all know that Shohei Ohtani is the coolest baseball player in the sport’s history. What he can do both at the plate and on the mound is just ridiculous, and we’re all lucky to be living in a time where we get to watch him do incredible things just about every night.
What’s also great about Ohtani is that he can do some funny things, too. That was on display Wednesday night when he made a dramatic play on a ball his catcher threw to him. What was so cool about this routine moment in a baseball game? Well, Ohtani lost the ball in the sun but still made the catch.
UConn men’s basketball coach Dan Hurley, who returned the Huskies to the Promised Land with a national championship in April, has agreed to a new six-year contract that will guarantee him nearly $33 million, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The deal for Hurley puts him among the nation’s highest-paid coaches.
Per Wojnarowski, Hurley’s contract includes incentives for athletic and academic success that could push the full value of the deal beyond the $33 million guaranteed.
Riley Gaines and other female swimmers who participated in the 2022 NCAA Championships have detailed their experiences of having to share a locker room with biological male Lia Thomas. NC State’s Kylee Alons avoided being exposed to Thomas after getting creative in the most unfortunate situation.
Alons met with Rep. Greg Steube (R – FL) on Wednesday and reflected on her experience at the ’22 Championships and explained that she elected to change in a nearby storage closet instead of sharing a locker room with Thomas.
These Celtics are going to be quite different from the ones we saw the last few seasons.
We aren’t betting on the Reds today, but only because they aren’t playing–
Congratulations to those who have been betting with us and riding the hot streak for Cincinnati. They covered the run line as we predicted and made it 11 in a row yesterday. They deserve a day off.
For Thursday’s bet, we are going to pivot to the NL West and pick the home underdog Giants at +100.
Why?
Because we have no idea which version of Blake Snell we are going to get for the Padres.
NEW ORLEANS – Most people never really change.
The New Orleans Pelicans need to realize that quick and trade the ill-fated Zion Williamson with their 14th pick in the NBA Draft Thursday (8 p.m. ESPN, ABC) to move up for the second or third pick.
