2018 The Year Of King Kohli

While there were question marks regarding Indian batting in overseas conditions in South Africa, England and Australia, Virat Kohli has managed to stand tall and establish himself as one of the greatest batsmen of all times. His captaincy and the pressures involved in being an Indian captain has brought out the best in Kohli, who thrives in such tough and pressure situations. If we go by the numbers, Kohli is one of the two batsmen to have scored over a 1000 runs in Test Cricket in 2018, 1322 at an average of 55....

2018 Fantasy Rankings Quarterback

While the usual slew of future Hall of Famers makes up a good chunk of the top 10, the next generation of stars are quickly climbing up the rankings. Young guns nursing injuries, specifically Deshaun Watson and Carson Wentz, have the potential to be among the best quarterbacks in the league, and they could be the players that guys like Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Aaron Rodgers eventually pass the torch to....

2018 Nfl Preview Nfc East Outlook

The Philadelphia Eagles ended their Super Bowl drought in a 2017 season in which even an injury to their most important player could not stop them. Aiming to prevent another special season in Philly are three division rivals that have all undergone significant changes. The New York Giants’ new coach Pat Shurmur has a loaded offensive cast with which to try to extend Eli Manning’s career, though an offensive line that still looks average at best and a sub-par defense should thwart their hopes of a return to prominence....

2018 Shanghai Masters Day 3 Federer And Nishikori Survive A Scare Zverev And Del Potro Survive Cold To Win

One of the biggest matches of the day didn’t fail to entertain either. Asia’s biggest male tennis player, Kei Nishikori was up against a hard-hitting and fearless 18-year old Yibing Wu. Wu was up for the task and competed exceedingly well to give Kei a run for his money. But, the London hopeful earned a hard-fought 3-6 6-0 6-3 win to stay in contention for a surprise London qualification. Nishikori finds himself drawn against Sam Querrey who beat Taylor Fritz 6-3 6-7(4) 7-5 to get 2 wins at an event only for the fifth time this year....

2014 Nfl Draft Broncos Select Wr Cody Latimer In Second Round

Latimer (6-foot-2, 215 pounds) averaged more than 15.0 yards per catch each of the last two seasons in Kevin Wilson's pass-crazy offense at Indiana. He had four 100-yard games last season, but against teams with legit NFL talent in the secondary (Ohio State, Michigan State), Latimer was held to 12 catches for 118 yards. While Latimer does have the potential to be a deep threat, he'll likely be more of a possession receiver early in his career who will have to fight for targets....

2014 Sochi Olympics 16 Memorable Hockey Moments

Sure, there's more money for the league in a World Cup of hockey, and that makes it tough to intellectually reject the premise in its entirety. Business is business.

2014 Sochi Olympics Construction Incomplete Security Near Crisis Level

Images from the Russian resort city show there's plenty left to do ahead of the Games. Russia is pumping $50 billion -- billion, with a B, and dollars, not rubles, into preparation for the world's biggest winter sports event. Unfinished projects add to the frustration and anxiety ahead of Feb. 6's first events and the following day's opening ceremonies. While venues might be complete, and several of those are in the mountains beyond the urban core, Sochi appears to be part construction site, part junk yard....
