Luke Winn: Bummer of a summer: Brewers games won’t be same without Ueck

Bob Uecker, the radio voice of the Milwaukee Brewers for 40 of their 41 years of existence, underwent successful heart surgery on Friday to repair his aortic valve and part of his aortic root.

Jim Trotter: Ireland’s question to Bryant not worthy of outrage

Even in the no-holds-barred world of the NFL, where a head coach can get a free pass after using the female pronoun ’she’ to describe a male player, Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland took a moon leap out of bounds when he asked Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant during a pre-draft interview if the player’s [...]

Gene Menez: Handicapping wide-open Kentucky Derby field

The 136th Kentucky Derby lost some luster on Sunday when likely favorite Eskendereya pulled out of the race with a left front leg injury. At the same time, however, the Derby became even more delicious for those who like to hit the windows every now and then. A case can be made for more than [...]

Ross Tucker: Jets playing with fire by messing with their run game

Jon Heyman: Hollywood soap opera, poor start make for gray days in L.A.

An early soap opera has broken out in Hollywood. The Dodgers, good enough to win the NL West and reach the NLCS each of the last two years, are 8-14, dead last in the division, with a declining payroll and in desperate need of some veteran leadership.
