Lack of clear XFINITY Chase favorite will make Texas a wild ride
The XFINITY Series Chase for the Cup has made it through one race in the Round of 8 and nobody has clinched a spot to the Championship 4 with Kyle Busch grabbing the most recent win at Kansas Speedway on Oct. 15. Unlike the Sprint Cup Chase, the AAA Division of NASCAR has several nuances that make its Chase unique as it heads into Race No. 2 in the Round of 8 for the O'Reilly Auto Parts Challenge (3:30 p.m. ET) at Texas Motor Speedway. First, there's the fact that a three-week break fell in ..>> view originalLakers end Steph Curry's record three-point streak in stunning rout

Derrick Rose didn’t ask to leave the Chicago Bulls. He was traded to the New York Knicks. But he wasn’t given the warm welcome home a former MVP might expect to receive in his former arena. Instead Bulls fans went silent when Rose’s name was read after the team’s tribute video to him and his teammate Joakim Noah. Then he heard some boos as his name was announced in the starting lineup. Noah was applauded throughout. But it was Rose who got the last laugh as his team took one on the road, 117-10..>> view originalRon Onesti: A Cubs tale
Every Cub fan has a story. Especially now. The Dallas Cowboys and the New York Yankees may have been dubbed "America's Teams," but the Chicago Cubs have long been the "little brothers" of the "big brother" power baseball teams of each decade. The team's overall performance always came in a distant second to the tradition of a neighborhood park with ivy-covered brick walls, personality-filled bleachers and hot dogs, peanuts and beer cuisine. Heck, as the earliest formed active sports club in Ame..>> view originalWhy Cubs fans will miss being the 'lovable losers'
When the Boston Red Sox snapped an 86-year drought and finally won the World Series in 2004, I didn’t know what to do with myself. I was only 13 years old at the time, but I’d been raised a diehard baseball fan. I knew how things worked. Everything I’d been taught, both by the team and by fans around me, indicated that I wasn’t supposed to experience the joy of a World Series title. That’s not what being a Red Sox fan was about. It was about being stupid enough to love them unconditionally, e..>> view originalCubs likely will have some patchwork to do, chiefly to shore up pitching
Dexter Fowler's brief speech Friday at Grant Park was a reminder of his success tied to the Cubs' World Series title but a chilly message of what lurks ahead for a franchise trying to win multiple titles."You know what they say," Fowler, a free agent, said. "You go, we go." "So I'm going."After a chuckle, Fowler replied, "No, thank you Cubs fans for coming out. You're the best in the world. Thank you for having me. You're like extended family forever. Go Cubs." Fowler, 30, likely will get many..>> view originalTrainer Ron Ellis could become a grandfather this weekend

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The hook for Manny Pacquiao’s latest fight is that he’s the fighting politician, as eager to take on problems in the Philippines as he is to take on other welterweights in the ring. Unfortunately for Pacquiao, at this stage of his career he needs a hook to sell his fights. Pacquiao meets a likable but relatively unknown Jessie Vargas on Saturday, with a piece of the welterweight title at stake. In the past that might have been enough to excite boxing fans, but Pacquiao is aging..>> view originalUFC 205: Eddie Alvarez Says Conor McGregor Has Fought “Chumps”
