Angel Reese got her first WNBA win on Saturday, and she set a new league standard in the process.The former LSU Tiger had 11 points and nine rebounds, including seven offensive, in Chicago's 83-74 win over Dallas. Per Across The Timeline, her 12 offensive rebounds on the season are the most in a rookie's first two games in WNBA history. In fact, only three players regardless of experience (Cheryl Ford, Erika de Souza, Jonquel Jones) have had more offensive rebounds in the first two games of a season since the league began in 1997.One of her biggest rebounds came in fourth...

The Phoenix Suns fell drastically short of expectations this season. They were swept by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the opening round of the playoffs. Part of Phoenix's problem is that its roster is incredibly imbalanced. Despite having three All-Star level scorers, the team doesn't have a point guard and has no legitimate depth on the bench.During his inaugural news conference, Phoenix's new head coach, Mike Budenholzer, admitted that the team's lack of a point guard could be a concern. He noted how the team may need to address the position during the summer.“There’s no doubt we need to look at...

OG Anunoby could be back in the New York Knicks rotation for their Game 7 contest against the Indiana Pacers. The winner of that game will progress to the Eastern Conference Finals, where they will face the Boston Celtics. Anunoby hasn't played since Game 2 of the second-round series, where he suffered a hamstring injury. According to Ian Begley of SNY, there is 'optimism' surrounding a potential return for Anunoby.

There aren't a ton of plug-and-play starters on the open market at this point of the offseason. There are still a few, however, and they are highlighted by a former Denver Bronco who led the league in interceptions just two seasons ago.That player is two-time Pro Bowl safety Justin Simmons, the co-leader in interceptions (6) for the 2022 campaign.Why a player of Simmons' caliber is still available is unknown, but the team he began his career with as a third-round pick in 2016 doesn't even seem interested in bringing him back.According to Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post, the Broncos are...

On Thursday, New York Mets owner Steve Cohen clarified that he isn't yet thinking about a second-straight summer fire sale despite the club's on-the-field struggles over the past week. Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns echoed Cohen's words ahead of New York's 6-5 extra-innings win at the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. "We’re not anywhere close to having discussions like that," Stearns said about the club's possible trade-deadline strategy, per Robert Sanchez of SNY. "We’re in mid-May. We’re focused every single day on trying to win baseball games. From a trade deadline strategy discussion, that’s something that we’ve got months to figure...

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

Opinion: The smell of death in Denver

Former major league closer Dave Righetti once said that "closers have a short shelf life because it takes an awful lot out of you." That statement has proven to be accurate over the years. For every great closer such as Mariano Rivera and Trevor Hoffman, pitchers who were able to maintain greatness over most of their careers, there are dozens of relievers who burned out. The likes of Bobby Thigpen, Mitch Williams and Brian Wilson had short bursts of success before flaming out. Even Hall of Famers were not immune to the wear of closing - Goose Gossage and Hoyt Wilhelm ended...

Everytime I see a house that is interesting or unique, I usually say I love this house. It doesn't need to be a mansion, but it does need to be historic. There's something unique about the style of this house I like.

If you've never heard that term before, "zoomies," A.K.A. "frenetic random action periods," is just when cats and dogs get excited and run around for no particular reason. In my house, zoomies are common after litter box visits, an excellent reason for celebration.

I first encountered a rat one evening in a Target parking lot. When my daughter told me it was a rat, I went straight to the car and she went to get a photo of it since she's never seen one before. I assure you it wasn't little.

After extreme levels of rain pushed the final 170 laps of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race to Sunday, many fans wondered how the delay and rescheduling of the event would affect the drivers' mentalities. It didn't affect Corey Heim, who, with a dominant victory at North Wilkesboro, once more proved that he's the hottest prospect in NASCAR. The 21-year-old led 66 of the race's 250 laps, securing his third victory of the 2024 season and his ninth top-10 finish in the series' first 10 races of the year.

Game 6 between the New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes had everything. In the end, though, Chris Kreider's natural hat trick in the third period will be the only thing many will remember from what was arguably one of the wildest games of this year's Stanley Cup playoffs.

The contrasts were clear on Friday afternoon when the Pirates took on the Cubs.Kyle Hendricks took the ball for Chicago — a 34-year-old who had once been among the game's best pitchers. 21-year-old phenom Paul Skenes opposed him for Pittsburgh. Hendricks, who entered the day with a 10.04 ERA and a 1.923 WHIP over 26 innings, is trying to hang on. Skenes, widely considered the top pitching prospect in the game, is looking to establish himself.The final results also showed the difference. Hendricks allowed eight runs — seven earned — on 11 hits over 4.2 innings, striking out four. He...
