Jim Zorn wouldn’t disagree. Not that the long-time NFL quarterback and coach is sour on Webb’s pro potential. Far from it. Zorn worked closely with Webb for roughly three months before and after the draft helping to prepare him for what he believes can be a successful career.

Sure, the race Sunday wasn’t the Daytona 500. But with a win and knowing he likely is in the Chase, running second on several late restarts was not as pressure-filled as the restarts a week earlier when he was trying to hold off the field.

It was an extraordinary attack, but Zimmermann didn’t spare himself, either. The former diplomat admits, “I did not recommend [force] myself–a major mistake,” when a firm U.S. response to Serbian aggression could have done some good. Now Bosnia is a long-lost cause. As the conflict enters its fourth year with no end in sight, international institutions keep behaving as if there’s hope. U.N. peacekeepers continue to “protect” safe areas that aren’t safe....

Many people believe that one of the matches that could steal the show is the ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship which will include seven superstars vying for the title, including Wade Barrett, Daniel Bryan, R-Truth, Stardust, Dolph Ziggler, Luke Harper and Dean Ambrose. Just days before the show, Dean Ambrose talks with Sporting News about the ladder match at WrestleMania 31, the dangers with that type of match and how much he hates ladder, asking to use barbed wire for a match, finding the right clothing, wearing the same outfit in the ring as Luke Harper and more....

Jordan was a big-money addition last offseason along with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, and his place on the bench had been a topic of much discussion this year under Atkinson. Allen, who was drafted by Brooklyn in 2017, has started 58 games this year. The lineup change prompted speculation that newcomers had pushed Atkinson out and forced Jordan into an elevated role. Jordan vehemently denied those claims to reporters after the Nets beat the Bulls 110-107 on Sunday....

I come at this from a unique perspective. In 2003, I was commissioned by the NFL to create the bulldog logo the Browns have used off and on since then.

ESPN’s SportsCenter shared a clip of a mountain biker screaming down a cliff-side trail, which appears to be no more than a foot wide in places. “Would you try this?” they asked, and the resounding answer is no.

Viewers have claimed they’re scared just watching it, with Cole Kuiper writing: “I wouldn’t even try this in a video game....

The state attorney’s office said in a Friday news release that the bizarre slaying of a Lakeland man, his girlfriend, their newborn son and the child’s grandmother were “committed on a cold, calculated and premeditated manner without any pretense of moral or legal justification.” Bryan Riley, a former Marine, is accused of fatally shooting Justice Gleason, 40; his 33-year-old girlfriend, Theresa Lanham; their baby boy, Jody, and Catherine Delgado, 62....

Officers in Johnstown stated on Saturday that an investigation had on Friday turned up several bodies and cremated ashes at the Ehle-Barnett Funeral Home.

But on defense? Boy, I don’t know. Dallas was ranked 13th in defensive efficiency heading into Wednesday, but the way it’s come to that number is so weird you have to wonder if something is bound to bust. The Mavericks are the worst team in the NBA at stopping opponents from the 3-point line, both in points allowed from beyond the arc and percentage of overall points. On the surface, this seems particularly worrisome because modern NBA offenses are built to shoot efficiently from deep....
