Simone Biles credited her return to the Olympics this year primarily to being “in a really good spot mentally.” She described her devotion to weekly therapy as “kinda religious.” Her athletic performances at the Paris Olympics this month were thrilling, earning her three gold medals and one silver medal. But what I really admire is her commitment to keeping her mental health in the limelight right alongside her gymnastics accomplishments. That’s something we can all do. While Biles maintains her Therapy Thursdays, I observe my Sushi Tuesdays. Tuesdays became my sacred day for self-care 17 years ago, after my husband…
No doubt about it, the Phoenix Suns managing to steal Tyus Jones will go down as one of the deals of the summer. A point guard who started all 66 games he played for the Washington Wizards last season – putting up 12 points and over seven assists each night – being signed to a minimum contract. If there was one area the organization was seriously lacking last season, it was at the point guard position.

The 2015 Tennessee graduate, an All-American forward for the storied basketball program, couldn’t believe it.

The debate over the hierarchy of talent within the Phoenix Suns has once again ignited a spirited discussion as we kick off our annual SunsRank evaluation.

SAINT-DENIS, France — Before Gabby Thomas set foot on the Stade de France’s purple track, surrounded by 80,000 or so screaming spectators, her coach gave her some last-minute advice. “The only thing I needed to do was get the lead. Get the lead and then finish strong,” Thomas said, recounting Tonja Buford-Bailey’s counsel. “And I did that.”
GABBY THOMAS TAKES WOMEN’S 200-METER GOLD IN DOMINANT FASHION) ⊥ Images) ST. DENIS, France – Gabby Thomas couldn’t recall the 200 meters she ran before she became an Olympic gold medalist. “I actually blacked out for the race,” Thomas, the 27-year-old Massachusetts native, began. “…It’s the most bizarre feeling when you get into a flow and you get into that energy where nothing else matters but the finish line.

Ahead of their first preseason game on Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams are shuffling their 90-man roster. The team made five moves on Tuesday, signing three offensive linemen and waiving two undrafted rookies. The two players they waived are tight end Neal Johnson and safety Kenny Logan Jr. Both are buried at extremely deep positions and were viewed as long shots to make the 53-man roster, so they’ll now be eligible to land with another team on the waiver wire. To take their spots on the roster, the Rams signed linemen Matt Kaskey, Alec Lindstrom and Conor McDermott. With injuries…
