Self-improvement Bragg’s priority | KUsports.com
Polite, personable, eager to please. That’s always subject to change once the hero worship hits him in big doses and the recruiters for agents try to fill his head with notions of getting to the NBA as quickly as possible and making not getting hurt the primary goal of college basketball. Clearly a sharp thinker, Bragg is more equipped to see through all the nonsense and make self-improvement a priority over self-adoration. He already understands that playing well against college basketball players is tougher than it looks on television.

The nightmarish scourge of a few extra bowl games must be stopped! - CBSSports.com
But some things are too important not to overexplain, and the way the New Mexico Bowl is eroding the fabric of our game -- and, indeed, our nation -- is one of them. Here's why the sooner college football returns to the good old glorious days of seven or maybe eight bowls (don't get uppity with us, Independence), the much, much better.

Home Run Derby format changed, now involves a clock - CBSSports.com
Instead of getting five or 10 "outs," now the players will be on the clock. Each batter will have five minutes to hit as many home runs as he can. The time starts with the release of the first pitch. In the last minute, however, the timer will stop on a home run and not start again until the batter swings and doesn't hit a home run. So if he gets real hot, there's still a chance at, in theory, unlimited homers.
The remarkable consistency of Phillies ace/trade target Cole Hamels - CBSSports.com
What also should make Hamels appealing for contenders as the July 31 non-waiver deadline draws closer is his remarkable consistency. Pitching is a volatile craft, and when you're trading for, say, 10-15 starts from a midseason acquisition, you're leaving yourself more open to short-run randomness. That's a consideration with any July trade pick-up, but it's especially the case with pitchers. Hamels doesn't allay these concerns entirely, but he's about as much of a known quantity as a pitcher can be.

Bubba Watson doesn't need advice from the patrons at the Travelers Championship. That's what he says anyway.
WHOOPS! Jeff Francoeur has a little trouble in the outfield - CBSSports.com
It actually looks like part of an old Buster Keaton act, or like an imaginative game of pepper played by a member of the old Gashouse Gang. Except it wasn't on purpose. It might have been accidental art, though. Span would score on a sacrifice fly, and the Nationals kept a 3-2 lead in the ninth, so it was a big play, a big mistake. But also funny.
