After expressing visible disappointment in his post-race TV interview, Keselowski’s frustration peaked in front of reporters when he was told that Fox during its broadcast compared his team’s penalty for unapproved body modifications to an incident earlier this season in Las Vegas. Keselowski did not like that — at all — and he believes first-year analyst Jeff Gordon is at fault.

Nevermind he was preparing for the Thunder, winners of seven straight games. What mattered was that the Celtics were back among their home fans and all the kerfuffle that engulfed the team in the last few days, all the questions about Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis and Isaiah Thomas (yes, him again), could be safely filed away for a few hours.

The American midfielder responded to the recent war of words between U.S. men’s national team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann and MLS commissioner Don Garber on Friday, stating that his move to Toronto FC earlier this year was a choice that was best for his situation. “As a player it’s always the same. You want to be at a place where you’re valued as a player [and] as a person, in terms of what you bring to the table every day,” Bradley said of his big-money transfer to TFC, which earlier this week drew criticism from Klinsmann....

First, apnea occurs and the baby will stop breathing. Because the baby isn’t breathing, blood oxygen levels will fall. The heart slows down in response to the low blood oxygen levels. Apnea and bradycardia are often called “the As and Bs” or “spells.” Understandably, the condition can be nerve-racking for parents who are already anxious over having a baby born at 37 weeks or less. This article explains apnea and bradycardia, their respective causes, the long-term effects, and the available treatment options....

This October has been a lot different. He’s on a club that’s in position to win the last game of the year, and he’s a huge reason why. Rosario struck the decisive blow in the Braves’ clinching 4-2 NLCS Game 6 victory over the Dodgers on Saturday night: a line-drive, three-run homer to right field off LA starter Walker Buehler in the fourth inning.

There had been inequity ever since divisional play was enacted in 1969, because splitting the leagues meant that there was a decent chance that the second-place team from one division might be better than the winner of a league’s other division. This was illustrated quickly, as in 1973 the Mets won the National League East with an 82-79 record, while the Dodgers, at 95-66, finished 3.5 games behind the Reds in the West and went home for the winter, joined in history’s dustbin by an 88-win Giants team....

He said talks broke down with the Atlanta Fulton County Recreational Authority earlier this year over an extension of the team's 20-year lease, which expires after the 2016 season....
