She was on the verge of her fourth World Cup and her zillionth media day, during which time her hair color had evolved from blond to pink to blue and her personality had transformed not a bit, so when the nameplate propped before her on the dais toppled over, Megan Rapinoe just laughed.
“I don’t need it,” she said.
No, Rapinoe does not require introduction.

Turns out they’re a performance enhancing drug!
Taking shrooms knock most people on their butts for hours on end. For Wiz Khalifa they might be a performance enhancing drug. The Pittsburgh native was picked to throw out the first pitch for the Pirates on Monday, and he decided to add a layer of complexity to the proceedings by being high as hell.
Honestly, he did pretty dang well all things considering.
Who’s the kid spittin’ flames? Changin’ the game, his name is Wiz Khalifa man pic.twitter.
Reports surfaced throughout last season that there was a disconnect between Hawks star Trae Young and former coach Nate McMillan, who was fired in February before Atlanta made its final playoff push.
The Hawks moved quickly in replacing McMillan, hiring former Jazz coach Quin Snyder, who is widely respected across the league as a very good coach, and quickly earned the trust of Young in ways that McMillan couldn’t.
A’s first baseman Ryan Noda suffered an immediate ejection from Monday night’s game against the Red Sox after he appeared to draw a little line in the sand after striking out, which the umpire didn’t like at all.
This was the second line-drawing ejection we’ve seen this month, but this one by Noda was pretty subtle. He wasn’t happy about a pitch earlier in the at-bat being called a strike so after swinging and missing on strike three, he drew a line in the dirt with his bat while walking back to the dugout.
Vacation’s over. Football season is here. Let’s go …
• Mamas don’t raise your boys to play running back.
Three of the six players franchised in March went into Monday—deadline day for those tagged to do long-term deals—without multi-year contracts. All three were running backs. All three remain without multi-year contracts. And that’s a really tough result for Las Vegas’ Josh Jacobs and the Giants’ Saquon Barkley, in particular (and a little less so for Dallas’ Tony Pollard, just because of his lower mileage and the style of back he is).
Charlie Elena Carrasco says she is “2 and a half,” but she is actually a few days from turning 3. Someday, she will want to excel at math or science, or be a sports star, or start a company or run for president, and somebody will either tell her outright that she can’t because she is female, or she can’t (because she is female)—the sexism implied but not spoken, making it harder to call out. Right now, Charlie wants yogurt. Her mother gets up and walks to the fridge.
The Open at Royal Liverpool is upon us, but this year I suggest we take a different approach as we head into the year’s final major championship.
Instead of wasting a single second thinking about the fact that after the final putt drops on Sunday, we’ll have to wait a full nine months until the next major rolls around, let’s just enjoy four days of links golf. The post-major Monday hangover always hits differently after The Open, but we’ll deal with that when we get there.
Another week, another Monday NASCAR race. Mother Nature is certainly on one this season, and she ain’t taking her foot off the gas.
But hey, at least we got a good race!
Just kidding. It was a typical New Hampshire snoozer. And don’t you dare try to tell me differently. Whenever someone leads 90% of the laps, it’s a snoozer.
Congrats, Martin Truex Jr. But that race stunk. Frankly, all NHS races do, which is why I never look forward to ’em. Great race fans up in New England, so I don’t want to take the race away entirely, but I’m begging NASCAR to do something to that track.
If you win, they will come, for free. That’s the strategy Boise State football is putting in place this season in hopes to fill their blue-turfed stadium.
In a world filled with wild ticket promotions, the Broncos are introducing one the that actually makes sense called ‘We Win, You Win.’

Fans who purchase a $125 limited-edition ticket to Boise State’s home opener against UCF on Sept. 9 will earn a free ticket to its next home game against North Dakota if the Broncos win.
Kentucky represented the United States at the GLOBL Jam tournament in Canada last week, a U23 event that features both pro and college players from across the globe playing for their home countries. After a tumultuous offseason in which John Calipari had to scramble to fill the back half of his roster before sticking the landing with major late additions, it was hard to know what to expect from the Wildcats.
The result exceeded expectations: Kentucky won gold, going 4–0 and looking much improved on the offensive end despite not having two key frontcourt pieces at its disposal.
