The league can afford almost any contract under a rising salary cap. What teams can no longer afford is paying above-average quarterbacks as though the difference between competent and elite does not matter.
Few players become as closely connected to a franchise as Jaylen Brown became to the Boston Celtics. Drafted by Boston, Brown developed into a multiple-time All-Star, helped lead the organization to an NBA championship, earned Finals MVP honours, and signed a supermax contract worth more than $300 million. The extension signaled that Boston viewed him…
For the past few years, many hockey people and media experts (a bit of sarcasm there!) have expressed the opinion that the Toronto Maple Leafs’ high end prospect cupboard is pretty much bare as they have traded away a large number of draft picks and a prospect or 2 such as Fraser Minten in hopes…

Carlos Alcaraz remains the most dangerous obstacle, but no player enters the hard-court summer with a stronger game, a higher floor or a clearer claim to the trophy.
Toronto Tempo and Portland Fire are both 10-14 through their first WNBA season, and both are playing in front of some of the best crowds in the league. Three more cities join between now and 2030, one at a time, each paying roughly $250 million to get in. The PWHL just did the opposite. It…
