Sunderland defender Titus Bramble on Wednesday labelled manager Paolo Di Canio a “strange person” and claimed he was more interested in improving his image than establishing successful relationships with his players. Di Canio joined the Premier League club in April and succeeded in saving them from relegation, but he was deeply critical of the players, branding some of them “ignorant and arrogant”. He also made liberal use of fines to punish what he considered unacceptable behaviour, and Bramble, whose contract expires this month, said the result was that players felt angry and alienated....
The world number 14, who thrust himself into the limelight at the game’s highest level with top-four finishes last year at the US Open and PGA Championship, closed with a superb five-under-par 66 at the Harbour Town course on Hilton Head Island. Helped by pinpoint distance control with his irons and brilliant putting on lightning-fast greens, Grace mixed seven birdies with just two bogeys to post a nine-under total of 275 in the first PGA Tour event after last week’s Masters....

I loved exploring that creek, which was always more than a trickle but never more than 7 or 8 feet wide. My friends and I would catch crawdads, dig up worms and pretend to shoot at birds with our slingshots (it’s not a coincidence that we missed every single time). My parents weren’t big fans of the creek. People threw trash down there (stupid people). Poison ivy was everywhere. Dangers for a growing kid, y’know?...
“These guys are not finished products,” Snitker likes to say. It’s an obvious description of two guys in their early 20s, but it’s also a scary thing for the rest of the National League to hear. Both members of this best-buds duo are five-tool talents, both capable of changing a game in multiple ways, and both do their thing with a contagious joy for the game. So imagining the peak versions of Acuña and Albies almost boggles the mind....

Brawlhalla is an indie developed fighting game that plays in the style of the Super Smash Bros. series, meaning the goal of the game is to knock the opponent off of the stage. And although Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has a massive following and continues to move forward in 2020, Brawlhalla has a cult following of its own and the announcement of adding Lara Croft into the mix is certainly exciting....
The Buckeyes had decided to make a coaching change. DeCOURCY: NCAA should allow immediate eligibility when coach is fired A three-star point guard from Hazard, Ky., Beverly had a choice at that moment: He could see what Ohio State would be like under the next coach, who turned out to be Butler’s Chris Holtmann, or he could search for a new coach of his own choosing.
