Why Chelsea Need N'Golo Kanté Now More Than Ever

There are no two ways about it: Chelsea Football Club has had an all-time great transfer window. Club director Marina Granovskaia has managed to sign Timo Werner and Kai Havertz-Germany's two hottest commodities-in addition to Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell, Hakim Ziyech, and Malang Sarr.

La Pausa: How Trae Young Uses Father Time to Manipulate Defenses | NBA Math

If you've ever watched professional soccer with a hardcore fan, you've likely experienced that odd moment when your viewing partner applauds a play that, to the casual eye, seems completely innocuous.

The Washington Wizards' season should've been over the moment John Wall elected to have surgery on the nagging bone spurs in his left heel. It really should've been.

Can We Just Admit Devin Booker Is Good? | NBA Math

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker underwent surgery a couple weeks ago to repair a joint in his hand you should not try to pronounce, and his recovery timeline of six weeks means the 21-year-old will miss this year's training camp and, potentially, the first week or two of the season.

How Kylian Mbappé defined the striker of the future against Argentina

Twenty minutes into France's 4-3 victory over Argentina in the World Cup round of 16, restarted play with a long ball from deep in his own half. He hit the ball with so much venom, and it flew so high, that I didn't think it had an intended recipient.

Universities Can't Blame Their Way Out of COVID-19 | Clyde Group

After the University of Alabama announced a 500-case outbreak of COVID-19-now well over 1,000-President Dr. Stuart Bell called the news "unacceptable" in a stern campus-wide message.

One of the most unexpected entrants into the 2020 U.S. political maelstrom has been The Lincoln Project.
