Apparently much like a draft circulated last April, the recommendations won’t call for mandatory testing. But they will very probably encourage practitioners who perform “exposure prone” procedures - for example, using a sharp instrument in a visually obscured or confined body cavity - to find out their HIV status....

He cannot hit. There’s no other way to say it. Eventually, he’ll start to hit. He has to, right? He’s too good of a player. He won the NL rookie of the year award in 2017 and the NL MVP in 2019, with 47 home runs and an 8.6 bWAR. But right now? He cannot hit. Another 0-for-4 night Thursday against the Cardinals dropped his season average to .158. In his past 21 games, he’s 5-for-65, a ....

While those are admirable accomplishments, dealing with Drew Brees and Co. in the Superdome is on another level. Since Brees became the Saints' starting quarterback in 2006, New Orleans is 7-2 straight-up and 6-3 against the spread in Monday night games, averaging 34.4 points. A surprisingly solid defense has helped the Saints grab an early lead in the NFC South, and their offense is again near the top of the league in passing yards....

He set the tone on both ends of the floor,” Rondo said....

“If you’re going to be compared to someone who was great in his sport, the biggest honour would be Donald Bradman. “He was the greatest cricketer of all-time. His batting average in cricket was double the next guy. He was twice as good a hitter as the second guy in all-time.
