LeBron James, football megastar? The Lakers star still ponders an epic "what if?" And he's not alone. So do his teammates. → Read More
Craig LaMont bought all five of his children a yo-yo one Christmas. As each kid unwrapped their gift, they each transitioned from elated to eventually moving onto the next thing. Some lasted an hour before finding something else to entertain them. All of them except young Taylor. He took the yo-yo and then pulled up YouTube videos to see just how much he could do with this new toy. → Read More
Ask Marc Amicone for a baseball memory based in downtown Salt Lake City and he will give you more than a few. But the first one that springs to mind — and after all these years and games how could it not — is walking the concourse back when now Smith’s Ballpark was just about halfway completed. The ballpark on 1300 South turned 25 this spring, so it’s hard for Amicone, a baseball lifer in this… → Read More
For Travis Pastrana, it’s about doing stuff no one else dares to do. Beyond that, it’s about taking the risks some don’t even have the brain space to think up. Multiple back-flips on motorcycles, rally cars soaring through the air, you name it, one of the Godfathers of action motor sports has thought of it. And he’s incorporated it all in the annual Nitro World Games, where the world’s most… → Read More
A disclaimer to all free-agents-to-be: There could be an in-home visit in your future this summer. Or a FaceTime call. Or a text message. And one of the primary recruiters could be Jae Crowder, Utah’s in-your-face forward who welcomes all trash-talkers and, like all Jazz fans, wants to see his team upgrade at necessary positions this offseason. → Read More
Royce O’Neale has had the most difficult homework assignment possible throughout this first-round series. And he knows that when Quin Snyder calls for No. 23 to spring off the Jazz bench, No. 23 knows exactly what he’s being sent into the game to do: that’s do his absolute best to try and pester the most talented offensive basketball player on the planet. → Read More
Their motto from the outset has been “unfinished business.” This group of veterans have remained on task all season. It continued Saturday night inside Vivint Smart Home Arena. And yes, there’s still plenty of work to be done. The No. 5-seeded Auburn Tigers blitzed the No. 4 Kansas Jayhawks from the opening whistle and never relented in the 89-75 victory. The win was Auburn’s ninth consecutive… → Read More
There is a system that follows the many screams. For some, who have zero trepidation of wearing out their own vocal chords, it involves asking players to read lips in real time or even turn to an assistant coach to finish a sentence. The madness of March has infinite layers, but it’s also near the end of the road for college basketball’s best. And that means head coaches have yelled. A lot. In… → Read More
The wide-open look was so clean, just a few feet away from Steven Smyth, a shot that had it gone in, would’ve been One Shining Moment-worthy on Day 1. But the 3-point attempt fell short, suddenly ending a special season for New Mexico State, but there was no time for Smyth or his group to bow their heads. The one-point loss was a bummer, no doubt. But Smyth’s band played on. They had to. → Read More
When he was introduced last spring, Craig Smith stood at the podium and told the Utah State faithful he was going to work his hands to the bone to get the Aggies back to prominence. It didn’t even take a full season in Logan, and on Tuesday afternoon, the USU men’s basketball program was recognized for its stellar 2018-19 season. → Read More
She’d felt all the symptoms before, known the unfortunate reality of everything that happens after a sustained concussion. After all, they nearly derailed her entire career, kept her away from the ice, nearly kept her from persevering and returning to eventually win an Olympic medal last February. After a training collision in the summer of 2016, Bowe dealt with lingering aftereffects of the… → Read More
Sandy • The offseason wish list at Real Salt Lake stretched beyond the goal-scoring forward the fan base has yearned for. RSL had to strengthen its starting lineup in order for the style and approach head coach Mike Petke wants to be more effective, more doable, so the club had to go out and find a no-nonsense player to man the midfield next to a club legend. → Read More
Logan • If the revival isn’t complete, it’s certainly near completion. It’s what Craig Smith set out to do when he was hired less than a year ago, to convince Cache Valley that there is a reason to return to the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum and to transform it back into what it was for decades: an ear-piercing, headache-inducing, student-section swarming sort of event. And above all, a place where… → Read More
Herriman • He was always fast, a blur, since he was young, trying to get to top-end speed as quickly as possible by sprinting alongside the beach, outrunning the crashing ocean waves. Growing up in Monrovia, Liberia, there were no state-of-the-art facilities Sam Johnson explains standing outside the gym in Real Salt Lake’s state-of-the-art soccer complex. There were no treadmills to increase… → Read More
The perceived notion of haves and have-nots in Major League Soccer has been quashed quickly by a club that has changed the complexion of the league in just two short seasons.
