Half a century ago, Honduras and El Salvador battled over mass migration while their national teams fought to qualify for the 1970 World Cup. The confusion regarding how much–if at all–one actually had to do with the other has stood the test of time.

A 6-0 rout of Belgium didn't reveal much about the U.S. women's national team that wasn't already known, and as the Women's World Cup nears, there's an urgency among the U.S. to fine-tune its defensive chops against its toughest competition.

Bruce Pearl and the laid-back Tigers had the perfect game plan to cruise past Kansas in a warning shot to the rest of the Sweet 16.

New Mexico State's shot at tournament legend was off-target, and Trevelin Queen was still processing a journey that's been a 'dream come true' well after it ended.

He was the first U.S.-born player to compete at the highest level of European soccer, but Eddy Hamel's Holocaust story—not his stardom with Ajax—is the reason he must never be forgotten.

It was just one of those plays—in the 2016 season-opener, the Packers’ Pro Bowl corner went in for a clean tackle and came up groggy.

Two years on, he’s a key defensive and special-teams cog on a Rams club with Super Bowl aspirations. 

There's nothing standing between the Irish and the playoff now that they completed a 12–0 regular season with a cross-country rivalry win.

The spotlight was on not only the Rams and the Chiefs as they made NFL history on Monday night, but also on the first responders who worked tirelessly in the wake of the shooting in Thousand Oaks and the two wildfires that scorched the land less than 30 miles away from the Los Angeles Coliseum.

While sports played on in the areas near the Woolsey fire, the Thousand Oaks shooting and beyond, the California community turned to help in an attempt to heal.
