Chris Graythen | Getty Images What a wonderful week for Joey Logano and wife Brittany as they welcomed a third child to their family, a girl named Emilia Love whose birth was announced Tuesday. This happy arrival, of course, came on the heels of Logano winning the Busch Light Clash last Sunday at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The couple announced back in July a girl would join the family that already includes sons Hudson and Jameson — and the two boys revealed the gender news when they put the pedal to the metal in a toy replica of the 2018…

Turning 40 on Feb. 3 was so much fun and so memorable for Chris Stroud, it’s doubtful he’ll be able to come up with a Groundhog Day-type replay at 50, 60 or any other significant aging milestone. “I really don’t know if words can describe how wonderful it was,” the former PNG and Lamar golfing great said upon his return from Pebble Beach. “It was an epic week, a never-ending dream, just a complete wow. Besides me not winning the tournament, everything else was the best it could possibly be.” Stroud’s everlasting memories include twice having Carl Spackler look alike…

By Dan Ambrose:  Jaron’Boots’ Ennis has called out Shawn Porter and askinghim to come out of retirement to fight in reaction to him saying he’s “overrated.” Not only does Porter feel that Boots Ennis is “overrated,” but also he thinks he’d lose to 33-year-old Keith Thurman if those two were to fight. Thurman was hurt with a body shot from Mario Barrios last Saturday night. Porter (31-4-1,17 KOs) feels that a fighter that ‘One Time’ Thurman would have problems with is #1 WBA Eimantas Stanionis rather than Boots, who he sees Keith would beat.

MONTREAL — Unwatchable. That’s not what the Montreal Canadiens have become; it’s what they’ve been for the better part of this season.

So, how much more can the guys who have to watch them stomach before making sweeping changes? We know, the suits on the executive floor of the Bell Centre have already tolerated so much — with the best odds at the top pick…

Nearly three months since tearing his ACL in practice and ending his 2021 season, Robert Woods’ Los Angeles Rams are just days away from playing in the Super Bowl. Devastating as his injury was, it no doubt pales in comparison to the recent loss of his father, but Woods was optimistic and easy with a smile on Tuesday when he addressed local reporters. While confident in the Rams’ chances on Sunday in Super Bowl LVI against the Cincinnati Bengals, Woods likewise expressed optimism regarding his return, as he said he believes he’ll be cleared in time for minicamp, but wants…
