Bradley pushed himself to transfer to and eventually earn a starting role for one of Europe's biggest clubs, and has now apparently opted for what can objectively be called a backwards move. It's hard to see how these two decisions could have come from the same person. Roma's acquisition of Radja Nainggolan from Cagliari on Tuesday added more competition for playing time in the midfield. At a big club, it was no less than inevitable....
Flynn, a former Army general turned major figure in the QAnon movement, questioned why the U.S. should be concerned with the conflict. The conspiracy theorist went on to suggest that Ukraine should remain “neutral” and not join up with NATO as Putin could decide to further target other countries in the coalition who have assisted it during the war. Flynn, who was pardoned by Trump after pleading guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia amid the Robert Mueller investigation, posted the remarks on the Telegram messaging service app, where he has more than 302,000 followers....

Ichiro passed Rose in 2016 before he eventually reached 3,000 — well, if you combine his hit totals from play in MLB and Japan. That factor clearly irked Rose, who said at the time, “next thing you know, they’ll be counting his high-school hits.” Ichiro had an interesting response to Rose’s comments, one that just might apply to one seemingly endless basketball debate. “I was actually happy to see the Hit King get defensive,” Ichiro told ESPN The Magazine last year....
The first eight episodes of the series have received universal acclaim for their behind-the-scenes portrayal of arguably the greatest NBA player in history. The Last Dance has delved into different facets of Jordan, from the ferocious competitor happy to berate teammates he felt were not as driven as he was, to the man who quit basketball at the peak of his powers after growing exhausted with the all-consuming nature of being the NBA’s brightest star....

Michael Oher pulling the curtain back on the toll of his concussion recovery is one of those times. But in this offseason, it’s par for the course. When the NFL keeps the spotlight on itself all the time, it reminds the world of what it’s really about at its core — pain, top to bottom, head to toe, inside and out. The NFL can’t escape it, the players obviously can’t, and neither can we....

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh finally made The Game a 365-day obsession, and the Wolverines used that time-tested, run-heavy formula to plow through the Buckeyes in a 42-27 victory at Michigan Stadium. The Wolverines rushed for 297 yards. Hassan Haskins took his place in the rivalry montage alongside names such as Jamie Morris, Tim Biakabutuka and Chris Perry with 169 yards and a school-record five TDs....
