Ash Barty retires from tennis. The 25 year old reigning Wimbledon champion shocked the tennis world with her announcement. Some meat from the article:

"Success for me is knowing that I've given absolutely everything, everything I can. I'm fulfilled, I'm happy, and I know how much work it takes to bring the best out of yourself."

"To be able to win Wimbledon, which was my dream, my one true dream that I wanted in tennis, that really changed my perspective," Barty added.

"I don't have the physical drive, the emotional want and kind of everything it takes to challenge yourself at the very top level anymore, and I think I just know that I'm absolutely I am spent. I just know physically I have nothing more to give.

"I've given absolutely everything I can to this beautiful sport of tennis and I'm really happy with that. And for me that that is my success.

"And I know that people may not understand it and that's OK. I'm OK with that."

Looking like Tyreek Hill is going to get traded from KC

Well, there you have it. Hill to the Dolphins for five draft picks with one of them being a first rounder from this year

Well I guess Hill gets the money he was after. But none of the Dolphin's QBs are a fit for his game like Mahomes was. He's in big trouble if the Dolphins stick with Tua and his tendency to lead his receivers directly into the defensive coverage. Might end up kicking back on the IR after 3 or 4 games.

I wasn't expecting the Mahomes-to-Hill era to end this quickly. They don't seem like a lock on the conference championship game or better without Hill.

This offseason is nuts.

It's almost as if the Chiefs took a look around their division and said "Damn, everyone else is loading up; we'd better disarm."
