There are very few professional sports that created an infrastructure which by it’s very nature allows a team to go worst to first in a single season. Last season the New England Patriots did just that by winning their Division and the American Football Conference before losing 29-13 in Super Bowl LX to the Seattle Seahawks. Since 2002 with the new format, (8 - four team Divisions) twenty-seven teams have risen from last place to win their Division the following year. You mig

It just keeps getting worse for the Nationals.

The Washington Nationals held on for a very important victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on a rain delayed Tuesday evening. This tied the series 1-1 with the 3rd game scheduled for tomorrow at 1:05.

The National Football League training camps open up this weekend with the rookies reporting first and the veterans joining them a few days thereafter.
