Paris Saint-Germain 0-1 Marseilles: Neymar was one of five players sent off after an injury-time brawl as Marseille beat Paris St-Germain in Ligue 1. Florian Thauvin scored the only goal as PSG lost their opening two Ligue 1 games for the first time since 1984-85.

Gasly surprise Italian GP winner as Hamilton given penalty: Lewis made a shocking mental error, pitting when the pit lane was closed to clear a car off the track, and lost 30 seconds from his lead, an error compounded when Leclerc's Ferrari crashed into the tire wall and the race was redflagged. Pierre Gasly took advantage of the field opening up and took his first F1 checkered flag.

Liverpool win Premier League: Reds' 30-year wait for top-flight title ends: Klopp's side have produced one of the most memorable campaigns in Premier League history, amassing 86 points already, with a record of 28 victories, two draws and a single defeat from their 31 games. Their title win this season is the earliest on record, at least with regard to games remaining. And Manchester City's 100-point total for a season is one of numerous records Liverpool can still break.

The same people who put Trump in office run the NFL. No wonder it's not diverse : "Only once in nearly two decades has a club been penalized for non-compliance: [with the Rooney Rule] when the Detroit Lions couldn’t keep it in their pants long enough to at least do the dance before hiring Steve Mariucci, earning them a $200,000 fine in 2003."

Coronavirus: No professional sport in England until 1 June at earliest: 'Project Restart': Premier League facing decisive week over season resumption with rumors suggesting a June 12 date, which is also what La Liga hopes for. This is despite Dynamo Dresden's entire squad in isolation just a week before restart, a week ahead of football restarting in Germany.

Can't argue with your point, prof. I'm rooting for Hamilton, always, but watching Gasly and Sainz battle for the win was fun.

Possibly even more shocking to me was Velteri Bottas' very poor performance, unable to even make the podium. And given Hamilton's fastest lap bonus point was unable really to make up any ground in the points standing.

I didn't mean to imply the scale wasn't used, just that it's odd. Why 20-80 and not 0-50 or 0-100, or just 0-10? 20-80 doesn't correspond to any natural things or other scales of which I'm aware.

Seaver was one of the first sports stars in my life, with the Amazing season coming the summer I turned eight. RIP.
They are a rating on a scale of 80.
Seems like an odd scale to use.

Unexpectedly hard rocking from that part of the world.

What boggles my mind, or rather one of the things, is that Beaverboard's three examples are all people who spent their careers working closely with men of color. People who, no matter their upbringing, should be smart enough to learn from this proximity, given their respective accomplishments (okay, Urlacher maybe less so). And yet... It's heartbreaking.

Not sure I would've linked the Fox News version of this story... But Favre playing the day of his dad's death just shows how warped his values are, as other of his actions and statements confirm.

It does not, rcade. Although I wonder how much time they had to react to what happened at the NBA bubble in Orlando.

4 of 5 MLS matches tonight were also struck, despite Don Garber putting out yet another wishy washy statement.
Good on all the players and those who stood with them.

lol, Howard, reminds me of my flight from SFO to Sydney on a 747 with fewer than 30 passengers. Great flight!

Beaverboard's version is more, er, three dimensional so I'll go with it.
