Unfortunately for the world’s No. 6 player and second highest-rated American behind Taylor Fritz, he had no choice but to retire ahead of the fifth set against Adrian Mannarino — an unexpected withdrawal after a shoulder injury. For the first time […]

The Atlanta Falcons struggled mightily to find Matt Ryan‘s replacement after the 2021 season, and they thought they had both a short-term answer in Kirk Cousins, who they inked to a $180 million deal, and a long-term one in Michael Penix Jr., who the team surprisingly selected No. 8 overall in last year’s draft.

Gio Reyna has secured a move away from Borussia Dortmund after another lost season sitting on the bench, joining Borussia Monchengladbach.
