Last Wednesday, after solidly defeating Jelena Ostapenko in the second round. Yet, she had to endure insults to her character lobbed at her by her opponent. For the next 48 hours, that’s all anyone wanted to talk to Townsend about, and then she had to play again. But like a phoenix, she rises, again and again. And she and Kateřina Siniaková are the number-one seeds in women’s doubles to…

Now, I might be off a few million. What I’m saying is they’re spending a lot of money. There’s some schools that are doing that.”Gundy also expressed that there’s “chatter” among coaches that out-of-conference scheduling “should be based on the financial…

I know it’s not exactly a health food, but my take is this: as long as you don’t have it every day, it’s not going to do you any harm.

Thanks to a recent writeup from The Standard, this practice is in the headlines again, so while we’re on the subject, we’d like to take this time to tell everyone to absolutely opt out of this nonsense. There are two settings inside of Facebook that need to be disabled if you don’t want the company digging through your photos “on an ongoing basis.” The settings are “Get camera roll suggestions when you’re browsing Facebook”…
