Earnhardt’s No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet had two unsecured lug nuts in Sunday’s post-race inspection at Darlington, which according to NASCAR’s rulebook should result in a $20,000 fine and a one-race suspension for the crew chief. That likely means Ives will be suspended for Sunday’s regular-season finale at Richmond Raceway, Earnhardt’s last chance to win a race and advance to the playoffs in his final season as a driver....

Apologising in media not enough – Steyn Speaking after his team’s tri-series win in Zimbabwe, where the AB de Villiers-led outfit defeated Australia at Harare in the finals of the tournament involving hosts Zimbabwe, Steyn, when asked about his relationship with the opposition captain, said: “I haven’t really spoken to him much since then to be honest. I don’t take many things personally, but what he did say to me I did take personally....

Steyn missed the second Test at Newlands ground in Cape Town due to a shoulder injury picked up in the first Test at Kingsmead in Durban, ESPN Cricinfo reports.

Steyn didn’t accompany the South Africa squad in Johannesburg on Monday....

Suker added: “I am glad that we talked openly about things that could be better in the future and that we will go together toward new victories....

Parkland Memorial Hospital said Friday that it would likely need to expand its coronavirus treatment centers as infections continue to soar due to the highly contagious Delta variant. Joseph Chang, the hospital’s chief medical officer, warned NBC 5 that the hospital could soon run out of resources. “I don’t see that there’s any way to avoid opening a fourth [ward]. The only question is am I going to have to open more?...

The Lions recovered the fumble, but had to punt on the possession. Before the injury, Cook had taken 17 carries for 96 yards with a rushing touchdown.

The two-time All-Star announced the release Thursday via Bleacher Report. Lillard’s album, titled “The Letter O,” is a tribute to both his jersey number (0) and the places that shaped his basketball career (Oakland, Calif., Ogden, Utah, and Portland, Ore.). Though most know Lillard’s rap abilities from the State Farm commercial in which he’s “dropping dimes, dropping dimes,” he’s been recording for years — and he’s pretty talented.

Just to name a few, players like Robert Lewandowski, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Matts Hummels, Shinji Kagawa, Ilkay Gundogan and Ivan Perisic are just a few names who were given a chance at Dortmund and have gone on to achieve bigger and better things across various clubs in Europe. While the list of players are endless, a problem facing the Bundesliga leaders is that over the years they have also been branded as a feeder club i....

“The message on my tombstone will be, ‘I knew this would happen,’” Jenkins always said, exemplifying the trenchant humor he brought to the 232 major championships he attended, starting with the 1941 U.S. Open at Colonial as a 12-year-old in his hometown. TCU athletic director Jeremiah Donati confirmed Jenkins died Thursday. Jenkins began his career at The Fort Worth Press and rose to stardom at Sports Illustrated with his two loves, college football and golf....

Even worse, Stephen Strasburg starts in Monday’s lone afternoon game, so he isn’t available on tonight’s main slate. Lance McCullers, despite giving up five runs and striking out just three in 4.1 innings in his last outing, is clearly today’s top option. Jon Lester is also coming off a brutal outing (nine baserunners in just two-thirds of an inning) and the Braves actually hit lefties well, so he might be a sucker’s play tonight....

Weather wise, I have to say, I don’t know how on Earth that Braves-Cubs game is going to play, but I’ve seen stranger things, and I have to account for the possibility of those strange things happening. For the late slate, there’s some rain forecasted that could affect the Reds-Pirates game, but I feel there’s a better chance of the rain clearing for that one compared to the game at Wrigley....

Marcus Mariota has graduated from sophomore slump to Mr. Public, rewarding his owners time and again during this midseason stretch. DraftKings unshockingly bumped his price up $1K with a trip to Indy ahead. We’ll see if the public hits Mariota again. Daily Fantasy Football Week 11: Quarterback Collective Ownership Report projects Kirk Cousins ($5800/QB11) for top ownership as of Friday. A meeting with the Packers defense will inflate ownership ownership for anyone these days, and Cousins’ consistency should enough people on board to clear 15 percent share of the quarterback field....

In January, the Daily Mail published an “exclusive” article reporting on rumors that Lindell had a “secret romance” with actress Jane Krakowski, best known for her role on the sitcom 30 Rock. Lindell and his attorneys quickly responded to the article by suing the British newspaper for defamation, describing the story as “thoroughly deceitful” and “bogus.” The tabloid fired back at Lindell’s defamation claim in a Monday memorandum, first reported by Law & Crime, dismissing the controversial businessman’s lawsuit by saying he has made numerous false claims....
