Geoff Haxton is a former backstop, so it makes sense to see him make an absolutely ridiculous snag on a foul ball last Friday night, also perfectly framing the ball and not moving a muscle for the theoretical umpire. The ball, which came off the bat of Texas Tech batter Jace Jung, made a beeline for the broadcast booth, where it smacked the bare hand of the Texas Tech radio announcer....
During an NFL pre-season match between the Miami Dolphins and the Chicago bears on Saturday night, Adam Rank, a well-known casting member of the NFL Fantasy Live podcast, made a CM Punk reference.

Sarfraz was reaffirmed on Tuesday as captain to the end of the World Cup in July, despite the Pakistan Cricket Board saying its policy was to name the captain on a series-to-series basis. Pakistan media have questioned the Sarfraz decision, including whether it was a political riposte at the ICC for banning Sarfraz. Private broadcaster Geo News wondered whether the PCB did a U-turn or succumbed to pressure from unnamed quarters....
Yeah, forget all that. In making it cool to be a part of USA Basketball once again, Coach K also raised the profile of himself and the Blue Devils.

The Coast Guard said on Twitter than an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter was also involved in the search and that the USCG Cutter Forrest Rednour is “scheduled to continue the search throughout the night....
After last season’s dramatic ending, Cobra Kai’s trailer for season three had hinted some of what’s to come for Lawrence and his longtime rival Daniel Larusso and their respective Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do students, with the latter being bound for a trip down memory lane to Okinawa to meet some old friends and enemies, but much less has been shown about what the future holds for the Cobra Kai sensei....
Gauff proceeded with ease on the first day of the Grand Slam, passing Czech Katerina Siniakova in straight sets on Rod Laver Arena.

Her opponent, Raducanu, also won in straight sets against Germany’s Tamara Korpatsch.

Line: Kansas -6.5, Total 129 (check our odds page for current college basketball point spreads and totals ) Offense, defense, rebounding and assists are all facets of the game where Kansas (22-5 SU, 15-11 ATS) has the edge over K-State (13-15 SU, 14-11 ATS). So, every checkmark pretty much falls into the Jayhawks court in this matchup. That leaves the number as the final thing to focus in on.

According to the CoA, these members are responsible for preventing the BCCI in implementing the Lodha reforms. “From an audio recording of the SGM, it appears that such disqualified persons were able to effectively hijack proceedings at the SGM by prevailing upon other attendees (who may have been otherwise willing to facilitate the reform process) to either support the cause of such disqualified person or remain silent,” the COA said in its report to the Court....

With 2-seed Duke’s 78-69 victory over 4-seed Arkansas in the Elite Eight, Coach K and the Blue Devils have earned one last Final Four appearance together. It’s a monumental achievement to reach this point of the NCAA Tournament even once — but this final berth is special, even for someone who has seen the stage as many times as Krzyzewski.

American seven-times grand slam champion McEnroe, who currently coaches Canadian Milos Raonic, was disqualified from the 1990 Australian Open for abusing an official, and had a history of being hot-headed during matches. “He’s (Andy Murray) much quieter and his energy is very different from mine but that part of it (temper) is very similar,” McEnroe told British media of Murray, who has also been guilty of muttering curses during his matches....

Truex won at Las Vegas and last week at Kansas, while Larson has three runner-up finishes and a sixth-place showing in the four intermediate track races thus far.
