Playing a couple of hours before Real Madrid took on Las Palmas, Luis Enrique’s side proved far too strong against his hometown club to move top of the standings, at least momentarily. Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez netted either side of a Juan Rodriguez own-goal, although Barca’s recent dalliance with a confusing set up at the back led to a disjointed defensive display, which opened up space for Carlos Castro to score....

John McCain, sitting on his campaign bus. “I know this is it.” He is 71, back from the dead after being counted as a casualty of a political war that devours candidates who lack the ammunition called money. His near-fatal failure happened after his candidacy was clobbered by those who fear illegal immigrants more than the eternal flame of true terrorism....

And the Isles were one game away from making the Stanley Cup Final in 2021....

The past few years, and recent incidents, make it clear that change is underway. In a game earlier this season between the Blue Jays and Braves, Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar’s frustration boiled over after lashing out at pitcher Jason Motte’s quick pitch. But he didn’t just lash out; he resorted to using a homophobic word to express his anger....

Players aren’t happy about this development, of course, and when a prominent agent used the word “boycott” in a statement Friday, things jumped up a notch or 10. The MLB Players’ Association quickly refuted the boycott notion, but that doesn’t mean the players are pleased with how this offseason has played out....
