UFC Ottawa: MacDonald vs. Thompson results and post-fight analysis
Marc DesRosiers-USA TODAY Sports Tim B. takes a look at an excellent UFC event tonight from Ottawa. Rory MacDonald and Stephen Thompson didn't exactly engage in the firefight that fans wanted. Instead, both men fought tactically - Thompson with his kicks, MacDonald looking to establish range to score with power shots. Unfortunately it took MacDonald four rounds to get truly aggressive and it was just too late by then. Rory's use of the Imanari roll early was pretty interesting, but he ..>> view originalThe legacy of Game 7
The Golden State Warriors never ran from history. Fewer than two weeks into the season, when the defending champions were 5-0, some players were already talking about 73 wins. Those too queasy to think that far into the future reveled in the pursuit of a record-breaking 16-0 start.The chatter got so loud that coach Steve Kerr, still rehabbing from two offseason back surgeries, visited the team in Los Angeles before its Nov. 19 game against the Clippers. The Warriors were 12-0 -- four games away ..>> view originalMichael Collins' Friday US Open grades
OAKMONT, Pa. -- I wonder which is worse: getting beat up for 36 straight holes or getting beat up for 16 holes then coming back in the morning for the last two and getting the rest of the day off before having to come back for the 18-hole beating you dodged because of weather? Which also means that for guys in both groups who make the cut, more beating is coming!I'd love to give sympathy in either case, but it's our national championship -- not a pity party. Remember, I have to grade each guy on..>> view originalDC United waits out delay, finishes in scoreless draw with Houston Dynamo
HOUSTON — D.C. United’s match here Saturday coincided with the U.S. national team’s arrival for the Copa America Centenario semifinals Tuesday. Three games into his return from a knee injury, Bill Hamid was with United, not Jurgen Klinsmann’s squad. But his performance in the dwindling moments of a 0-0 draw with the Houston Dynamo at soggy BBVA Compass Stadium demonstrated his immense capacity to serve his country again in the near future. In the last minute of stoppage time, Hamid sprung to h..>> view originalCincinnati's Rau'shee Warren wins bantamweight title

It's not the biggest surprise in the world that Chile beat Mexico in the Copa America quarterfinals. After all, Chile is one of the best teams in the world, the defending Copa champion and boasts world-class players in its arsenal. That said: 7-0?! Seven?! Zero?! In a thrashing for the ages, La Roja went full-throttle in Santa Clara, Calif., ousting Mexico from Copa America by the most lopsided result in a major competition in El Tri's history.
