LeBron James didn’t want to be here in the first place. It turns out his team didn’t need him. Team LeBron cruised to a 170-150 All-Star Game win over Team Durant on Sunday as James watched the second half from the bench. Giannis Antetokounmpo was perfect from the field, while Stephen Curry and Damian Lillard held their own in-game 3-point contest to lead the rout. Team LeBron won each of the first three quarters to carry a 146-125 edge into the final stanza, meaning that the first team to 170… Source link

It took Kyle Larson just four races to win in his return to NASCAR. Larson won Sunday at Las Vegas in his first race with Hendrick Motorsports. Larson joined Hendrick in the offseason after he was suspended by NASCAR and fired by Chip Ganassi Racing four races into the 2020 season after he said the N-word during a virtual race broadcast on NASCAR’s website. Larson beat Brad Keselowski to the checkered flag and Keselowski was the only driver that kept Larson from sweeping all three of the… Source link

The Alabama star was awarded the 2020 Heisman Trophy on Tuesday ahead of teammate Mac Jones, Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence and Florida quarterback Kyle Trask.

When Baker Mayfield’s in the driver’s seat, buckle up. Mayfield’s Cleveland Browns knocked off the Jacksonville Jaguars, 27-25, on Sunday afternoon, moving to 8-3 and solidifying a hold on a playoff spot. But the game had a lot more drama than any contest involving the Jaguars ought to. This isn’t to disparage the Browns’ effort this year. Cleveland needed more than three seasons to win eight games before Mayfield arrived. But man, Mayfield keeps things interesting for this team. He… Source link

Yeah, Alabama’s the No. 1 team in the country. The Crimson Tide (8-0) were No. 1 in the first College Football Playoff rankings of the season on Tuesday and backed up that ranking with a 42-13 win over No. 22 Auburn in the Iron Bowl on Saturday. Auburn (5-3) did nothing to threaten Alabama at all. It was a clear sign of things to come for the Tigers when Mac Jones found DeVonta Smith for a 66-yard TD pass to open the scoring when Auburn’s secondary completely forgot to cover the receiver… Source link
