This week, the highest-ranked male tennis players 21 and under have been assembled in Milan to play a year-end tournament. These included the 18-year-old Denis “Shapo” Shapovalov, the flashy, long-locked Canadian who bulldozed into the fourth round of the U.S. Open this year; 20-year-old Russian Andrey Rublev, who became the youngest U.S. Open quarterfinalist in 16 years; and a handful of others. It’s a fine idea for an event: drum up some enthusiasm around a sport that may well suffer a minor PR crisis once Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer eventually slow down in next two decades. But it did not begin on an auspicious note on Sunday night. Prepare yourself to cringe with every part of your body from the ends of your hairs to the tips of your toenails, then take a look: The players…
When
Furious 7 came out last week, it was heralded by many as the kickoff to the 2015 Summer Movie Season, which was strange, considering it's still April. (And just barely April.) By that rationale, it’s also the start of Oscar Season, or the 2017 Fall Movie Season, or the 2019 Dawn of Human Awakening Season.
That said: You can draw a straight line from Furious 7 to the upcoming onslaught of summer movies: It’ll be here, and over with, before you know it. Thus, our Grierson & Leitch week-by-week guide to what's coming, taking you from this weekend to Labor Day. Now, all schedules this far out are subject to change, but this is pretty close to how it will go down. Get ready for lots of superhero flicks, lots of kid flicks, and, yes, Ted 2.

So, remember, back in May, when Siena basketball player Kojo Mensah was so desperate to be allowed to transfer from the school that he called on Louis Gossett Jr. for help? Gossett memorably said he could be of assistance because he "can call directly to Bryant Gumbel, Bob Costas and Ahmad Rashad." Well, apparently Gossett was successful in getting Mensah out of Siena … because he was just one of the five basketball players shot at Duquense University over the weekend. Mensah was one of the three players still hospitalized after an incident at a dance. So, yeah … thanks a lot, Lou. Shocked Campus Responds With Prayer [Pittsburgh Post-Gazette]

After former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was arrested for the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd, police in Boston connected him to a 2012 drive-by in which he allegedly pulled up next to a car outside of a club, and shot into the vehicle, killing two men and leaving two survivors. Hernandez is already serving a life sentence without parole for killing Lloyd, but will go on trial this February in Boston for the double-homicide. Yesterday, during a pre-trial hearing, one of the survivors, Raychides Sanches, identified Hernandez as the person who killed Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado during the drive-by. According to prosecutors, one of the men bumped into Hernandez at a club, spilling his drink. As a result, Hernandez allegedly waited for the men to leave the club, pull…

data-mm-id=”_0t8qoh5vp”>Patrick Mahomes, an otherworldly talent, looked extremely mortal for almost 53 minutes during Super Bowl LIV. The Kansas City Chiefs' title chances were on life support. Down 20-10 and facing a 3rd and 15 from their own 35-yard line against a San Francisco defense that had taken on the form of a python, ruthlessly suffocating the breath from an arcade-inspired unit, it was now or never. They say hope springs eternal. But for the world champion Chiefs, it sprung step by furious Tyreek Hill step. The fastest man in football was running free in fifth gear, exploring the luxurious space beyond the Niners' secondary. Mahomes, poised as ever, lofted a rain-bringing throw to his receiver as the world waited for fortunes to change. On 3rd & 15… @PatrickM…
data-mm-id=”_1soxk3ehv”>In the 30-plus hours since Bernie Smilovitz of Detroit's WDIV reported that the Detroit Lions have been actively shopping Matthew Stafford, no one else has been able to match that information. General manager Bob Quinn immediately denied the story in a text message to the Free Press. The rumor has managed to do something quite impressive in our fractured times: bring about almost universal agreement that there's absolutely nothing to this. Smilovitz, though, is standing by his reporting. In a new post this morning titled Sources confirm Lions have had Matthew Stafford trade talks, each paragraph is better than the one that came before.”We stand by our story and by our sources. We find tremendous validity in what we are reporting because of what Kelly …
data-mm-id=”_le01o0peg”>LeBron James read a CNBC report that some team executives and agents would prefer the NBA cancel the current season so everyone can focus on safely returning next year. He then tweeted that the report is false, seemingly on the strength of only anecdotal evidence. Saw some reports about execs and agents wanting to cancel season??? That’s absolutely not true. Nobody I know saying anything like that. As soon as it’s safe we would like to finish our season. I’m ready and our team is ready. Nobody should be canceling anything. ?— LeBron James (@KingJames) April 30, 2020James wants to play. Mark Cuban is the first of a few owners to put it on record that he believes the season will resume. That's all well and good. One need not be a savant to understand…

data-mm-id=”_td2m0pr78″>The NBA Bubble was created to help bring back basketball in the midst of a global pandemic. But for the players participating, it also represented an opportunity to call attention to issues of social justice in the wake of the murder of George Floyd. In the month since arriving in Orlando, players from all teams have used this platform to call for justice for Breonna Taylor and draw the spotlight to the various issues that plague this country and affect them in ways few can understand. On Sunday, an unarmed black man named Jacob Blake was shot seven times in the back by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The video circulated social media and led to another outbreak of widespread protests against institutional racism and police brutality against the black community. T…
