They are the “poets” of the sport, as beIN Sports analyst Ray Hudson told Sporting News recently, but they fouled its beautiful language with their display in a 3-1 victory over Croatia in the opening game of the 2014 FIFA World Cup at the Arena de Sao Paulo. It wasn’t the brilliant Neymar, scorer of the first two Brazil goals, who was at fault.

The trade comes as a means for Miami to solve its logjam with guards in their rotation, as well as expensive contracts. In Tyler Johnson’s case, it was a 4 year, $50 million dollar contract, which the Heat gave him back when he was a free agent in 2016.

Bradley won his fourth career title, his third in a playoff, to deny Rose his third triumph of the season even though the runner-up effort was enough to see the Englishman atop the rankings for the first time in his career. Rose lipped out a 15-foot par putt at the 72nd hole to shoot three-under par 67 and match Bradley, who closed with a 64, on 20-under 260 at rain-softened Aronimink in a final round delayed a day by showers....

Given the time remaining and the point differential, no harm was done but the call went viral. Here’s the play - a block - or rather the ensuing reaction that earned Ingram his second technical of the game which lead to an ejection. At first glance, awarding Ingram a technical foul for taunting another player is a no-brainer and an easy call for the official....
An MRI revealed Lowe has a strained left quadriceps, and he will miss the rest of the season. “He’s done for the year,” manager Kevin Cash said (via TampaBay.com). “I think that’s the best way to say it. And if he comes back early, great.” Lowe suffered the injury Wednesday as he ran out an infield grounder during a rehab assignment at Triple-A Durham.
