Cusack says “post this meet, she’ll have time to rehab because we cannot continue like this for another two years” and “for her... Читать дальше...

We’ve seen real-time human shufflings on UFC cards before, those situations where at the last minute a perennial undercardsman ends up in a main event. A classic example was when Charlie Brenneman stood in against Rick Story in Pittsburgh on just 24 hour’s notice after Nate Marquardt was removed from the card, and ended up winning. Joe Soto got bumped into a bantamweight title fight with TJ Dillashaw at UFC 177 when Renan Barao went down for the count during his weight cut. He couldn’t make the most of the promotion...

The A’s should be a good offensive team in 2018.

Friday’s game was probably the most miserable fairly non-consequential regular season game in recent memory. Teams lose in April and by and large it doesn’t mean a whole lot but boy. Losing a game in which you hit five home runs is....not good. Let’s focus on the good.

The top cause for optimism going into 2018 was the A’s offense in the second half of 2017. Matt Chapman and Matt Olson joined a lineup bolstered by Khris Davis and... Читать дальше...

Moses Mabhida Stadium management are not bothered that local Absa Premiership sides AmaZulu and Lamontville Golden Arrows have opted against utilising the iconic World Cup venue to host their big matches this season.
