Phil Liggett, the global doyen of cycling commentary, has announced his (partial) retirement. I spoke to him on Thursday. Fitz: Phil! You’ve just finished covering your17th Olympics! That must make you – dot three, carry one, subtract two – old enough to remember when the Dead Sea was only sick? Is it that simple equation which caused you to announce that on the day that this is published – Sunday – is not just your birthday, but also the day of your retirement from the Olympics? PL: Yes. I won’t be at the 2028 Games in Los Angeles because I don’t want to…

Throughout cinematic history, two actors stand heads and tails above everyone else regarding Westerns. Those two men are John Wayne and Clint Eastwood. Throughout their heralded careers, the two men never worked together, even though they were once offered the opportunity to do so. Instead, politics, ego, and machismo got in the way. The truth is that Clint Eastwood and John Wayne did not get along. The reasons for this are varied and complicated. Neither man was a fan of the other, and John Wayne certainly felt a certain way when he realized that Clint Eastwood was slowly replacing him…

Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula won five doubles titles in 2022 and 2023 combined. They reached No. 1 in the WTA doubles rankings. They were a force that had to be reckoned with no matter which tournament they played. Plus, they got along swimmingly. The two did play the Olympics together, but they failed to medal. Ironically, Gauff has won a Grand Slam doubles title, but she did so at the 2024 French Open when she played with Kateřina Siniaková. The move was a smart one for the American because Siniaková had won seven previous major titles in doubles. As…
