    Popovich supportive of marches, critical of Trump
    CLEVELAND -- Twenty-one seasons of coaching the San Antonio Spurs have given Gregg Popovich a wealth of experience in dealing with the media. So much, in fact, that he believes newly sworn-in President Donald Trump can learn a thing or two from him."I want to be totally vanilla, whether someone says something great or something bad [about me]," Popovich said before the Spurs and Cleveland Cavaliers met Saturday night. "You can't let that affect you. We have somebody in office right now who shoul..

    Bulls Get Favorable Whistle Late But Won't Apologize For Anything In Much-Needed Win
    By Cody Westerlund– CHICAGO (CBS) — Bulls guard Dwyane Wade called the whistle “questionable.” Teammate Taj Gibson acknowledged it was a “sketchy” call.

    Packers at Falcons: Ryan, Rodgers and rings
    Narratives are often forced and misleading. They are necessary to bring in the casual observer, but they fail to pack punch and substance. For Sunday’s NFC Championship Game, the prevailing narrative will be Aaron Rodgers and Matt Ryan cutting loose against each other in the Georgia Dome. It will be about Rodgers’ prophetic quest to run the table. It will also be about Ryan trying to reach his first Super Bowl in a year where he’s the likely Most Valuable Player.
