No matter why Robert Mathis was taking a drug that violated the NFL's performance-enhancing substance policy, the result is this: His four-game suspension is fertile ground for a fight. Mathis is a cornerstone pass-rushing linebacker for the Indianapolis Colts, who for now must figure ways to savage quarterbacks without their leader in sacks. While the NFL stands by its punishment, and rightly so, Mathis is getting support from the usual sources....

This conventional view is rubbish. The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment fury at a rigged system. There are no longer “moderates.” There’s no longer a “center.” Today’s great divide is not between left and right. It’s between democracy and oligarchy. Four decades ago, when America had a large and growing middle class, the left wanted stronger social safety nets and more public investment in schools, roads and research....

These Republican senators will put their jobs and their political party ahead of the Constitution and the country. They will tell themselves that 88 percent of Republican voters still support Trump, and that their duty is to them....

But pesky facts have never stopped Trump. Having lied for five months about the coronavirus, he’s now filling social media and the airwaves with untruths about the economy so he can dupe his way to Election Day. The comeback “won’t take very long,” he reassured Americans on Thursday. But every indicator shows that after a small uptick in June, the U.S. economy is tanking again. Restaurant reservations are down, traffic at retail stores is dwindling, more small businesses are closing, and the small rebound in air travel is reversing....

Keith Hill’s side are bottom of League One, but delivered a first-class performance on their re-laid Spotland pitch that merited the Wembley trip that will accompany their replay. Spurs looked to have escaped with a win when Harry Kane buried an 88th-minute penalty after Lucas Moura scored on his full debut to cancel out Rochdale captain Ian Henderson’s opener. But journeyman striker Davies produced a calm finish with time running out to sprinkle some famous FA Cup magic on the fifth round....

Harden reportedly wants to be traded to the Nets, where he would reunite with former Thunder teammate Kevin Durant and team up with Kyrie Irving.

But first-year coach Silas, who replaced Mike D’Antoni, is confident regarding Harden in Houston. “When stuff like this kind of happens where there’s a little indecision and stuff going on, I kind of take a step back and allow guys some space,” Silas told reporters Thursday....

The Dodgers raced out to a five-run lead behind of a pair of two-run home runs from Cody Bellinger and Max Muncy in the fourth and fifth inning respectively. Rookie Walker Buehler took center stage, befuddling the Rockies hitters and carrying a no-hitter into the sixth inning. Charlie Blackmon’s single was the lone hit that Buehler allowed in 6 2/3 frames. Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story added some drama in the ninth inning by connecting on back-to-back home runs off of Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen, but Jansen settled down and retired the next three to end the game....

The duo of Isiah and Marq Quen, combinedly known as Private Party, debuted in AEW in 2019. They had a remarkable first year, and they even scored a major victory over the Young Bucks.

They’ve done a great job preparing themselves as young players,” Stars captain Jamie Benn told Sporting News....
