    Tennis is having a moment as the U.S. Open arrives to wrap up the 2024 Grand Slam season as attention is being paid to the sport and across pop culture. 

      MIAMI — If misery loves company, the Miami Dolphins had enough for a commiseration party, once. Fins fans were not alone in mourning an NFL playoff winless streak so long it was a memory challenge to recall the last postseason victory. It was Dec. 30, 2000, for Miami, by the way, 23-17 over the Indianapolis Colts. American Beauty won the best-picture Oscar that year. U2’s Beautiful Day won ...

        If you think a prime Joe Torre, or a reincarnated Casey Stengel, or an unretired Dusty Baker would do much more with this team, you’re probably mistaken. The Seattle Mariners (64-63 entering Wednesday night’s game) haven’t descended into this abyss because of an incompetent skipper — they’re plunging because their position players can’t hit the ball. A new manager isn’t going to recreate Julio ...

          LOS ANGELES — Darrell Doucette didn't play NCAA football. He never played in the NFL. But the 35-year-old New Orleans native thinks he's a better player than Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, a three-time Super Bowl champion and MVP. In flag football, that is.

He was 87. The Warriors announced that Attles had died in his East Bay home on Tuesday surrounded by family. Nicknamed “The Destroyer” for his physical style of play, the Warriors were his love and his only team after they selected him in the fifth round of the 1960 draft. Attles was one of the NBA's first Black head coaches.

          MIAMI — Mario Cristobal worked a job he didn’t like for a public relations firm just down the road in Coral Gables from the University of Miami campus where the head football coach now sits. Around 1998, this would’ve been, the sport he loved gone from his life, his future uncomfortably unknown. Cristobal had been a two-time national champion at UM as a starting offensive tackle but was ...

          FORT WORTH, Texas — You may have cut the cord, but the “steal” that was your couch to watch all of your favorite games is increasingly becoming less of a deal, and now looks like a gouge that you don’t know how to eliminate. The cost of watching a “big game” in person has always been, and always will be, pricey. The “end around” has been TV. Sports is doing a nice job of cutting that cord now, ...
