And we also were stoked to go to Bills or Sabres games; quite often, they were better than Toronto’s teams, and it was terrific to see a blue-collar town’s love affair with its teams.Unfortunately, in recent memory, Buffalo’s teams have always had a fatal flaw.…

As drivers work to find the limit with the Next Gen car at Phoenix Raceway, some have gone beyond it in the final offseason test. The Next Gen car is certainly no walk in the park. After two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch spun on Tuesday, 2020 series champion Chase Elliott spun twice on Wednesday. Elliott, a former winner at Phoenix, found trouble at the exit of Turn 4. Busch spun in the same area, and both drivers were able to avoid the outside wall. However, Todd Gilliland was not so lucky.

The 2021 season was one heck of a roller coaster for Max Muncy. The slugging first baseman carried the Dodgers in the first half with his bat, which resulted in him being in early MVP conversations. But that first half was short-lived as Muncy came tumbling back to earth in the second half, posting a .809 OPS.

But in the last game of the season, Muncy went down with an elbow injury that would keep him out for the entire postseason.This week, ESPN’s…

Kohli gave up Test captaincy after the 1-2 series loss to South Africa but he will continue to play as a batter since he has a few more years left in him. Rohit Sharma has taken over in white-ball formats while the BCCI is still deciding on the red-ball skipper. “With regards to him stepping down, it’s always a personal decision. He’s…
