Inside Kyle Schwarber's journey to being a surprising World Series legend for the Cubs
CLEVELAND—Sometime Thursday doctors in Chicago will re-examine the left knee of the freakiest hitter since Roy Hobbs. Chicago Cubs front office executives by telephone will loop in his Texas surgeon, the one who fixed the two torn ligaments that resulted from an outfield collision April 7. And then those executives will have 24 hours to determine whether Kyle Schwarber will be their starting leftfielder Friday when Wrigley Field hosts its first World Series game since Oct. 10, 1945. ..>> view originalNFL learning domestic violence punishment is hard when you can't investigate
Kicker Josh Brown has been released by the New York Giants, but the NFL's issues when it comes to handling cases of domestic violence are far from over.The complications seem clear for the NFL, which was hoping for a fresh start with a revised conduct policy following the Ray Rice fiasco. For one, the league is not in a position to fully investigate allegations of domestic violence and is completely reliant on facts to become known -- such as Brown's journal, in this instance. Second, the league..>> view originalShootaround (Oct. 27) -- Anthony Davis' monster night goes all for naught

You may think there is not much to be learned from a midweek, early-round DFB-Pokal game other than there are a lot of teams that have chosen green—fluorescent in FC Augsburg's case—as the colour for their away kits. This was the third successive home game for Bayern Munich in which they have faced a team wearing green shirts, but thankfully Wednesday's 3-1 win at the Allianz Arena also threw up a number of far more noteworthy issues than football's latest fashion trends.

The NBA’s much-anticipated continuation of the NFL’s national anthem protests have so far been pretty tame. Players and teams have opted to stand with arms locked in vague displays of unity, preferring instead to “focus on solutions” instead of gestures. The shape of discourse has frankly been a little disappointing — there seems to be no sense that protest can be form of action, and many of the proposed solutions to police killings of unarmed minorities rely on false equivalencies and changing ..>> view originalRickie Fowler rides Ryder Cup confidence to strong start in HSBC
SHANGHAI — Rickie Fowler dropped by PGA of America headquarters in Florida with the Ryder Cup trophy last week as a way to let the employees share in the U.S. celebration. The trophy stayed behind.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Brandon Marshall’s lime green T-shirt said it all. Emblazoned on the Jets wide receiver’s chest were the words “Fitz Magic 2.0” with an orange beard protruding from a small white and green helmet. The shirts were made in the offseason, but with Ryan Fitzpatrick back as the Jets’ starting quarterback, Marshall dusted one off and wore it. “I thought it would be perfect timing,” a smiling Marshall said Wednesday.
