Former NBA guard and current Utah Jazz assistant coach Jeff Hornacek has been offered the Phoenix Suns’ head coaching job. Hornacek spent the first six seasons of his 14-year NBA career with the Suns and remains extremely popular in Phoenix, so the hire will likely sit well with locals.

Quick made several phenomenal saves to earn his league-leading third...

SHOULDERING THE LOAD
Carmelo Anthony reportedly has a tear in his shoulder and played in the playoffs with the injury. There is no word if he'll have surgery for it.
The NFL’s owners voted on Tuesday to award the 2016 Super Bowl to the Bay Area (Santa Clarita to be exact), where the San Francisco 49ers will have a new home starting next season. When NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the 2016 decision, the San Francisco bid committee erupted in an outburst of approval. They then followed that with a champagne toast.
The Santa Clarita...
DERP
Washington Nationals reliever Ryan Mattheus reportedly broke his pitching hand while punching a locker after a rough outing on Sunday afternoon.
Seattle thought it was getting its Sonics back — for a moment, anyway — until a group led by rich Seattlites Chris Hansen (not the pedophile catcher) and Microsoft bigwig Steve Ballmer was totally c-blocked by a vote of the NBA’s ownership. The decision was not a vote against Seattle, per se, but a vote for small-market Sacramento and a way to stick it to the douchebag Maloof...
PREPARING WALKING PAPERS
With the Dodgers struggling, Don Mattingly reportedly has a tenuous hold on his job at best and some speculate that it would be a surprise if he lasts the week.
Matt Moore is making quite a name for himself early in the 2013 season. The 23-year-old lefty improved to 8-0 on Sunday as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-1. In doing so, Moore became the youngest left-handed pitcher to start a season 8-0 since Babe Ruth did it as a 22-year-old in 1917. Fun fact: Ruth made just $3,500 that year, and went 24-13 with a 2.01 ERA. Moore...
OUCH
The Los Angeles Kings pulled off a playoff miracle on Thursday night, grabbing a 4-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks from the jaws of defeat with two late goals.

After a trip...
NOT NEEDED?

Since it’s impossible to earn a ring on the field as a Buffalo Bill, Mario Williams is going to court.
The highest-priced free agent defensive end in NFL history will go to a hearing Friday in Houston after suing his ex-fiancee for the $785,000 engagement ring he proposed to her with. The ex in question, Erin Marzouki, countered Williams’ claim with a suit of her own on Monday...
Maybe it was karmic retribution for allowing the team to be the focal point of “The Love Guru.”
The Toronto Maple Leafs became the first team in NHL history to squander a three-goal lead in the third period of a Game 7 on Monday night, getting eliminated by the Boston Bruins by an improbable 5-4 score in overtime.
