PUNE: Ramkumar Ramanathan and Arjun Kadhe came close to pulling off one of their best wins of their careers but fell short a t the Tata Open Maharashtra here on Tuesday. Ramkumar produced a typical display of big serving to bounce back from being a set down, but Italian World No. 93 Stefano Travaglia packed a little more firepower to pull through in the third set for a 7-6 (7), 4-6, 6-3 win in two hours and 13 minutes at the Mhalunge-Balewadi stadium.

1) Coaching tips pay off. Lions assistant head coach/running backs Duce Staley apparently didn’t see enough of the aforementioned Jermaine Johnson in one-on-one pass rush drills in the late afternoon practice on Tuesday, so he asked for a little more at the end of the day. And Staley, who is the acting head coach of the American squad this week, got quite an eyeful. Johnson, hand-picked by Staley for three reps against Kentucky offensive lineman Darian Kinnard to close out practice, positively mauled Kinnard on his first rep. “That was a speed to power,” Johnson said of his approach for…

Tom Brady’s retirement appears to officially close the book on a historic MLB franchise. Back in 1995, the Montreal Expos with the 507th overall pick — 18th round — took a left-handed hitting catcher out of Junipero Serra High School in San Mateo, California, named Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. It was a low pick for a player of his caliber, but the underlying assumption in the draft had been that he would not take the MLB route and instead go to play college football at the University of Michigan.
