That hasn’t prevented trade rumors from swirling around the talented-but-mercurial wide receiver. The Rams have come up first and foremost for a potential coast-to-coast deal, but in reality, Los Angeles should be closer to last and least on that front. LA has made trades like no other team this offseason, led by the acquisition of new starting cornerbacks Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib. The Rams also sent former Pro Bowl edge rusher Robert Quinn to the Dolphins and signed current Pro Bowl defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh....

However, doom peddlers have overlooked the potential vested in Kagawa, citing United’s seemingly austere tendencies during the transfer market.

It was a sobering series for the Spurs and a revealing one for the Thunder. Often criticized for their stagnant offense, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook found ways to impose their will on Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green to lead Oklahoma City back to the Western Conference finals for the fourth time since 2011. The Thunder didn’t look like the same team that struggled to close out games, either, with two of their four wins being determined by a total of five points — and a couple of egregiously missed call....

Despite the efforts of all-timers like Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray behind center, the best the Sooners could do in 2017 and 2018 was win the Big 12 Conference and make it to the Playoff semifinals — but no further. MORE: Big 12 championship highlights, scores, updates This Oklahoma team, however, looks decidedly different. On Saturday, while the Sooner offense scrapped for inches, settled for field goals and struggled to hold onto the football against a talented Baylor defense, it was the Oklahoma defense that rose up time after time to get a stop....

Through the miracle of modern technology, however, I never have felt closer to the city than over these past few years. I have this app for my phone that allows me to take a small subset of the city’s passion for sports everywhere I go.
