With the WNBA Playoffs set to tip off in less than a week, there was still plenty to be decided in the crowded standings entering Friday night’s action. Thanks to huge nights from Liz Cambage and Breanna Stewart, two big playoff picture dominoes fell, and things got much clearer heading into the final weekend of the regular season. Cambage Goes Off for 43, Wings Clinch Playoff Spot Power seems to be the only way to describe what Liz Cambage has been doing at the center position for the Dallas Wings all season long.

With SummerSlam, WWE’s premier summer pay-per-view, now less than a week away, I thought it would be a good time to put in writing my recent observations about the state of the WWE and its two main brands, RAW and SmackDown Live. The two shows have gone in very different directions in recent months in terms of how they came out of Extreme Rules, and how they have set up their respective SummerSlam matches. Long known as being the “second” brand, SmackDown Live has, in my opinion, far surpassed RAW in terms of interest level over the course of the…
The WNBA is in an immediate playoff push, since this coming week marks the final one of the WNBA regular season. WNBA Playoffs are set to begin on August 21st. The WNBA playoff format is different than that of the NBA. The top two seeds receive a double bye into the best-of-5 semifinal round. Meanwhile, seeds 3 and 4 receive a single bye into a one-game second round playoff, while seeds 5 through 8 all meet in first round one-game playoffs. This format leaves a heightened drama up and down the standings board even heading into the season’s final week…
There were plenty of upsets throughout both the men’s and women’s Rogers Cup tournaments this year in Toronto and Montreal, respectively.

He capped his tournament with a 6-2, 7-6 win over upstart Greek teenager Stefanos Tsitsipas who ran a gauntlet just to get to Sunday’s final. Tsitsipas picked up victories over four ranked players in Dominic Thiem, Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev, and Kevin Anderson in Toronto. But…

With the non-waiver trade deadline now past, the run to the MLB Playoffs is set to heat up. The one general characteristic that stood out from this year’s trade deadline has to be the shear number of teams that sought to make upgrades to their rosters. Looking at the National League in particular, the number of teams with a realistic chance to reach the postseason is much greater than is typical by the time August arrives. The NL fails to have any teams that really stand out as a tier above the competition, like the Boston Red Sox, New York…

The only positive that the Brooklyn Nets can take away from their stint at the 2018 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas is that they have young talent with room to improve. Otherwise, it was a forgettable experience. Brooklyn was the only team out of the entire league who failed to win a Summer League game. Friday’s 116-79 blowout loss to the Indiana Pacers was their fifth and final defeat. The Pacers scored the game’s first eight points and then put together a 16-0 run in just 1:49 of game time during the second quarter to pull away for good.…
