A little before Julien’s Bruins managed a 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins, the Maple Leafs lost 6-2 to Washington. Those two results, at least for the time being, put Boston back in playoff position in the Eastern Conference. It also probably shot down the buzzards that had started circling the locker room. “You’re announcing (Toronto’s loss) to me,” Julien said. “So I didn’t know about that — my focus really wasn’t there, but it’s good news for us....

After seeing how some of the Star Wars fandom’s more toxic sections reacted to Moses Ingram’s existence, it’s probably a bit surprising to discover that anyone other than a white dude could earn near unanimous praise from a sizeable chunk of diehards.

It took Bryce Harper less than a game to be booed for the first time in a Phillies uniform by Philadelphia fans. All it took was a strikeout with a runner on third base with no outs in his second at-bat against the Braves on Opening Day. He was booed again in the fifth inning, when he struck out again.

Ross Barkley and Raheem Sterling each hit braces as Gareth Southgate’s men bounced back from defeat to the Czech Republic in style, bringing qualification for Euro 2020 within touching distance. But the contest was sullied by abuse directed towards some of the travelling players, which was reported to the match officials and resulted in two delays to the action before half-time. Before the match, Balakov accused England of having a bigger problem with racism in football than his own country, and he once again sought to share the blame after the widely condemned scenes that stained Monday’s match....

He struggled again on Sunday completing 54 percent of his passes with one touchdown and three interceptions. This was against a Browns defense playing without Joe Haden and Tashaun Gipson.

Simmons had been heavily criticised prior to Thursday’s clash but the 76ers guard put up 21 points, eight rebounds and six assists as Philadelphia forced Game 7 with a 112-101 victory over the Toronto Raptors. The 22-year-old managed just seven points in a blowout loss in Game 5 but with the 76ers facing elimination, Simmons responded in 34 impressive minutes, which did not include a turnover. “I thought he was excellent and we needed it all,” Brown told reporters of Simmons post-game....

The Browns’ third-year defensive end hopes to be the best defensive player in the league at some point in his career and doesn’t see why he can’t start sooner rather than later as Cleveland begins to finally find its rhythm, especially after the departure of former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. “I hopefully have more freedom to be the player I want to be,” Garrett said, via Cleveland.com. “Gregg was more like: ‘You win with these two moves....

Mayfield, with hands clasped above his waist, detailed that one time when he had to wait a little longer. Mayfield’s parents let their son play football only in the backyard and at recess. So when did that wait end? “Fifth grade,” Mayfield said. “In Texas I guess that’s kind of late. I don’t know.” We do know, but it’s still the kind of answer that proves Mayfield is the right quarterback to dig a beleaguered franchise out of its latest (and perhaps greatest) mess after a 0-16 season in 2017....
