Wembanyama is one of the NBA’s tallest players at 7-foot-3, but he is very skinny for his height and will almost certainly bulk up with more time in San Antonio’s strength and conditioning program. For now, he is vulnerable to…

What was behind Stu Jackson’s warning shot? What was behind Stu Jackson’s warning shot? Getty Late last week, an unusual, pithy press release was published. The urgent 100-word statement was about “the future of college athletics,” and curiously enough, it was authored by one of the 12 members of the men’s basketball selection committee. The person who released the statement also happens to be a conference commissioner: Stu Jackson of the West Coast Conference. Here’s what he said: “Assessing the numerous changes in college athletics and their effects, it appears the autonomy four conferences are seizing more decision-making power. It’s…

The Chicago Cubs have created another new patio section at Wrigley Field, albeit one with a twist. This time the premier section is located in the center-field bleachers and consists of a semisecluded area with its own artificial grass, serving a light meal with an “unlimited” supply of cold beverages. The Cubs are calling it “The Yard,” as in “backyard,” not the old-timey nickname for baseball parks. The cost of a ticket will be as low as $175 and as high as $390, depending on the game and time of the season. Obviously the summer dates will be considerably higher…

The order is the latest move by the new prosecutor as she seeks to forge a tougher stance on gun crimes per campaign promises and after condemning the city’s gun violence in December when she was ceremonially sworn into office. According to the policy, prosecutors on their own cannot enter into a plea agreement for a probation term or other punishments that do not involve prison time in…
