What with the MLBPA wanting more fair treatment and pay for the players and the owners wanting do their best Scrooge McDuck impression, diving into piles of cash and giving the players nothing.

England white-ball captain Eoin Morgan said that blame of the national team’s embarrassing and abysmal performance in the Ashes 2021-22 shouldn’t be put on the domestic new format tournament, the Hundred.

Kingsbury didn’t have much to say about what is now a trend for his Cardinals. “We just got to keep looking at it,” the coach said. “Keep trying to find new ways to improve later on in the season, whatever that may be. That’s definitely a priority this offseason.” The Cardinals have little issue with starting regular seasons positively. Arizona won its first seven games in 2021 and was the last remaining undefeated team in the NFL before falling to the Green Bay Packers in heartbreaking fashion on the prime-time stage.
