The Latest
Phelps’ rival illustrates need for foils in sports

See. This is what sport needs more of, and I’m not talking about some golf fan playing a flatulence machine along a fairway to make it sound as if Tiger Woods cut a big one while waiting to hit a shot over the weekend.

Macpherson blazes trail for women

There was never some grand plan. She never really thought about it. She didn’t line up her body with a set of dots one day decades ago and point her toes toward the target and straighten her back and lift her chin and smell pizza and hear the ringing of video games and realize her slippery shoes were probably made ugly so nobody would steal them and think it would all lead to becoming one of the best female bowlers in history.

Advice for Dodgers: Get help at right price

It’s weird. The Dodgers today own the best record in baseball. They also have the second-best team ERA and average nearly five runs per game.

Columnist Ed Graney writes an open letter to the acting president at UNLV, offering advice on the qualities he should seek in a new athletic director.

Out there. Out on the wall. Out alongside Aaron and Mathews and Murphy and Niekro and Spahn, for heaven’s sake.

American dream means everything to Brazil’s Alves

Do you remember the part about a land which should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, about a place with opportunity for all according to ability and accomplishment?

UFC veteran plans to settle score

There is the profound way of looking at it: The Ultimate Fighting Championship holds its 100th show Saturday night and perhaps the most symbolic matchup of such a historic moment will not be either of two title bouts, but rather when veteran Dan Henderson stares across at a younger and promising Michael Bisping.

UFC goes from modest to mammoth

In the beginning, it wasn’t about a formless wasteland or darkness covering the abyss or mighty winds sweeping over the waters.

NASCAR drug policy stuck in reverse

Brian France has been hanging around the garage too long because the fumes seem to be messing with his senses.
