Nicolas Jarry claimed the biggest win of his career on Friday, defeating Tommy Paul 6-3 6-7(3) 6-3 in the Italian Open to reach his first ATP Masters 1000 final.

It’s hard to keep that level of concentration, but now I’m in the final,” Jarry…

Since acquiring QB Josh Allen in the 2018 draft, the Buffalo Bills have been a mainstay in the NFL playoffs. They’ve made it each of the last five seasons, even reaching the AFC Championship game during the 2020-21 season. Despite this continued success, the Bills have yet to reach the Super Bowl during Allen’s tenure in Buffalo. They’ve been eliminated in all five playoffs runs, three times at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s a demoralizing one-sided rivalry and one that has the potential to get more out of hand this season. Over the course of the offseason,…

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin famously has never recorded a losing season during his tenure that began back in 2007. CBS Sports NFL analyst Pete Prisco believes Tomlin’s streak will officially come to an end in January 2025, thanks in part to the regression of quarterback Russell Wilson. “I don’t think they’re gonna be very good,” Prisco said about the Steelers during an appearance on the CBS Sports HQ streaming channel, per Josh Carney of Steelers Depot. “I think they’re gonna win seven games, and I think when you look at Russell Wilson, I don’t think he’s any good anymore. I’ll be honest…

Things certainly didn’t look great for Chris Kreider and the New York Rangers heading into the third period Thursday night. They were ahead 3-2 in their Second Round series against the Carolina Hurricanes, but trailing 3-1 in the game. Carolina had been outplaying them for several periods at this point and the Rangers looked like they would have to head back to Madison Square Garden for a Game 7 this weekend. But, Chris Kreider had other ideas, as he put together one of the most memorable periods of postseason hockey ever. He put the team on his back and carried…

The Atlanta Braves made two moves involving infielders on Thursday. They acquired utility infielder Zack Short from the Boston Red Sox and sent infielder Luis Guillorme to the Los Angeles Angels, both transactions involving cash.

Celebrity Lakers fan Snoop Dogg thinks that it makes perfect sense for Warriors legend Klay Thompson to sign with LA this summer. The rapper thinks the fact that the Lakers are still a West Coast team makes it an easy transition for the four-time champion. Plus, Klay’s dad, Mychal currently works for the purple and gold and also won two championships with the storied franchise. “I’m hopeful that we can get us a Klay Thompson,” Snoop Dogg told Stephen A. Smith on The Stephen A. Smith Show recently. “His dad is Mychal, he works for the Lakers, it’s an easy transit down…

There will be a very noticeable 6-foot-5, 295-pound absence at the Pittsburgh Steelers’ organized team activities next week. Six-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Cameron Heyward plans to miss the Steelers’ voluntary OTAs for the first time as he enters the last season of his current contract. “I have always attended these, but at this time, it’s just contract negotiations,” Heyward said on his Not Just Football podcast, which dropped on Thursday morning. “Ya know, I want to be a Pittsburgh Steeler, but we’ll see what happens.” Heyward, who’s set to make $16 million in 2024, was responding to and confirming a report from ESPN…

Morgan joined the Crimson Tide’s staff after Kalen DeBoer was hired as the Tide’s head coach.
