Chances are that the Wimbledon powers that be gave Murray all the odd-ball opponents on purpose knowing that there’s something undeniably charming about a flustered British man. Hugh Grant built a career on it.

That fourth set was hard to watch as he melted down. I’m not sure how much I buy into momentum in competition, but to the degree it does exist, it exists pretty strongly in tennis - likely a function of it being one-on-one vs. a team effort.

I hope Jeter gave him a gift basket on his way out the door.

It’s going to be such a bummer when Fed and Rafa are done playing. What an era.

Given the severity of the injury and that she is in her early 30s, this could be a career-ender for her and at the one Slam she hasn’t won in Doubles at too. I hope she can come back eventually.

It’s always those injuries where the leg just gives out with no contact that end up being so brutal.

Yeah, no.

They could have offered him the max in 2014 and at least had him for another season. He was worth it then, and in hindsight.

Wait. How are they a “safe bet”? The 9 and 10 seeds added Paul Millsap and a full season of Anthony Davis and Cousins. While the team below them in the standings added Paul George. On top of that, the T-Wolves added Butler. I mean maybe they’ll make it next year but they could just as easily be out.

He’s #3 in the league in UZR. Gets great jumps, too.

My favorite line about EuroLeague basketball is “Greek fans are crazy. They’ll throw their keys at you without the slightest regard to how they’re getting home that night.”

Bogdan Bogdanovic has gotta be like an all time top 5 NBA name

There’s really nothing remarkable here. Lots of athletes take time out of their schedule to visit retarded children.

I think he’d make a great tag team partner with Unprincipled Pragmatist.

He tried playing on his hands, but it was too hard to hold the racquet.

How the fuck is this numbnuts in charge of anything?

Between Seager, Bellinger, and Pederson, the all-you-can-eat pavilion in right field is going to be the place to see Dodger games for the next ten years. Souvenir ball after souvenir ball.

Looks like Bellinger has mastered this level, time to promote him to a tougher league.

Maybe this is what Danny was after? I mean I doubt he’d need all those picks to fleece the Nicks. But they won’t hurt either.

There are not a whole lot of successful models to try to replicate, and all are equally outlandish. Let’s try the 2010 Heat model of clearing the entire cap sheet and throwing max contracts at the three best free agents in a historically great free agent class, one of whom is a top 5 all time player, and hope they all…
