The Australians rounded off a dominant five-match series with an innings and 123-run hammering of the beleaguered tourists on the final day of the fifth Sydney Test. Mitchell Starc, John Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and spinner Nathan Lyon all finished with 20 or more wickets in the series to take 87 in total to dominate the England batsmen.

But there is not much else positive that the Cavaliers could possibly say about Bynum. He was, after all, put on suspension by the team for detrimental conduct, his attitude and lack of professionalism forcing the Cavaliers to simply ask him to stay away. Within hours of making the trade of Deng official, the Bulls waived Bynum, gladly accepting the payroll relief that his partially guaranteed contract offered. None of that helps Bynum’s already battered reputation around the league....

Spurs have become regular challengers in recent seasons, yet they have fallen short of silverware since winning the 2008 League Cup, finishing as runners-up in that competition twice and the Premier League once. Now, with Mauricio Pochettino’s men still in the running for four titles this term, star striker Kane is determined to ensure that Tottenham do not fall away this time.

To plead his case to the unions, Gore dispatched his new campaign chairman, Tony Coelho, and a team of aides. Gore, they noted, would have the full backing of elected party officials. The vice president would step out from behind the podium–and out of Bill Clinton’s shadow–and present himself as a “fighter” for working families. As for Bill Bradley, they promised, his free ride was over. He’d never faced the kind of scrutiny he was about to undergo....
