CINCINNATI, OHIO | Your grandmother probably told you that patience is a virtue. And there were probably times when you thought that even it was true, patience seemed vastly overrated. Whether at home or work, it’s hard to keep emotions in check when all the right things seem to produce all the wrong results. In golf, expressions like “stick to your process,” and “stay in the present,” “let the game come to you” and, most of all, “remain patient out there,” are like the recipe of a magic potion: you want to believe it works, but without evidence, it’s hard…

By Mohamed Horomtallah: Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz is not a patriot. He doesn’t represent Mexico. His recent knockout victory against fellow Mexican Eduardo Ramirez should be dismissed and considered as a betrayal. Plain and simple. A Mexican fighter should not fight other Mexican fighters. Since Isaac Cruz apparently did not get the memo, he should have a sit down with Canelo Alvarez as soon as possible to learn how a true patriot should act. The Mexican superstar was firm and felt justified when he said that he represented Mexico and, therefore, would not face another Mexican. Canelo wants us to believe…

At one point, Lance Stephenson looked like one of the best young rising stars in the entire NBA. During the 2014 season (at 23-years-old), he averaged 13.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game for the Indiana Pacers. He helped the Pacers make the Eastern Conference in two consecutive seasons (although they lost to LeBron James and the Miami Heat both times). After his four-year stint with the Pacers, he remained in the NBA until 2019 (and also returned to the Pacers later on). Unfortunately, he wasn’t quite the player that he was early on his career, and after playing for the Los…
