It's time to ask that question of Jacksonville Jaguars general manager David Caldwell, who sounded pretty direct Thursday at the NFL Scouting Combine. He's not married to staying at No. 3 in the first round, he told reporters, and he's not wedded to drafting a quarterback. First, the quarterback issue. Caldwell knows his team, which is coming off a 4-12 season, has multiple holes, which makes a QB less than a sure thing early....
Logan, the 2011 U.S. halfpipe champion, clinched one of three automatic berths after scoring 87.40 points on her first run. It was just enough for Logan to hold off Canada's Dara Howell, who scored 87.00 on her second run to finish second. Canada's Kaya Turski, the 2013 World slopestyle champion, took third after scoring 86.80 points on her second run. Turski, who is also a three-time Winter X Games champion, competed for the first time since tearing an ACL in August....
Not so much with his finish in the slalom — he has no illusions of winning — but rather through his fashion statement. Hubertus Von Hohenlohe, who turns 55 on Sunday, wants to stand out on the slopes in his flamboyant mariachi racing suit. A fitting outfit for a vibrant character. Born in Mexico City, Von Hohenlohe has royal lineage through his family's ties with a former principality in Germany....

The year began with the NFL’s highly publicized attempt to have women break through the glass ceiling of league executives and ended with the NFL’s feeble attempt to handle another domestic violence controversy. In between, the U.S. women’s national soccer team, the Women’s Tennis Association and the NCAA incited a national conversation over equal pay for female athletes and sexual assault on college campuses. Though there remains no overwhelmingly positive outlook for women in terms of employment opportunities in professional sports or salary parity with male athletes, and though domestic violence and sexual assault continue to remain unsolved catastrophes in the NCAA and the professional leagues, some stories have helped spark what will inevitably require an extensive effort for change as 2017 begins....

Soon after, their hopes faded. They started with an 8-12 record, followed by a good two-month run, which ended with Andre Roberson’s season-ending injury. OKC finished the season with a single additional win compared to 2016-17 and an embarrassing first round exit in the playoffs. Entering this season, the Thunder set the bar much lower. They worked on constructing a more balanced roster to keep them in the playoff picture of a very competitive Western Conference, hoping to advance through the first round, at least....
The Serbian is ranked number 1 in the world, and is a five-time winner at the year-end event. The American is world number 10, and this is his debut in the World Tour Finals. Even this debut was possible only because two of the world’s top eight, Rafael Nadal and Juan Martin del Potro, withdrew from the event due to injury. Their head to head record is very much against Isner who has lost a whopping eight matches of the ten they have played against each other....
After a couple seasons of non-RBs populating the first round, last season saw things even out a bit. Heading into this year, running backs should dominate the top picks and likely make up the majority of the first 12 players drafted in your league. There are four legitimate contenders for the top spot, with Elliott, Johnson, Bell, and Todd Gurley all having realistic claims. How you rank them likely comes down to how much concern you have for injuries and holdouts and how much you value receiving skills, but you really can’t go wrong with any of those four....
It began Friday with the televised draw that arranged the 32 competing teams into eight groups of four that will start contesting the tournament on Thursday June 14, with a game between host Russia and Saudi Arabia. The absence of such teams as the Netherlands, Italy, Chile and – did we mention it? – the United States led to there being no real “Group of Death”. But there is an abundance of compelling matchups....

#1 Hamilton matches Fangio It could’ve happened in Austin, but Mexico City has again proved to be the championship decider and it’s Lewis Hamilton that is the 2018 F1 champion. Hamilton has driven faultlessly all season, reminiscent of the great Argentine himself, and he’s further cemented himself amongst not only Grand Prix racing’s finest, but sport itself. 50 years from now, people will still be talking about Hamilton, his sporting legacy is bulletproof and will only continue to grow until he hangs his helmet up....
