When it comes to Christian Pulisic, however, the vets can’t hide just how impressed they are. MORE: U.S. opener vs. Colombia | Copa America schedule | Michael Bradley, U.S. linchpin You hear about Pulisic’s maturity, his fearlessness and his relative shyness everywhere but on the field. There aren’t the warning signs of an ego headed for over-inflation. No air of entitlement, or attitude. Outside the white lines, Pulisic acts very much like a 17-year-old who is six months removed from playing in the youth ranks and watching pro games instead of starring in them....

The Indians, absolutely desperate to trade a pitcher of Corey Kluber’s caliber, shipped him off to Texas for Delino DeShields Jr. and Emmanuel Clase, a 21-year-old with a live arm.

Away we go: Indians: D- I think this tweet about encapsulates the situation: The Indians are apparently so cash-strapped that they absolutely had to deal the two-time Cy Young winning Kluber for a package that includes — hold on, making sure I’m getting this right — Delino DeShields Jr....

Post-COVID clinics across the country are predominantly seeing patients who are young, generally healthy and only had only a mild case of COVID-19. While they were able to successfully fight off the infection, these post-COVID patients can struggle with fatigue to the point that they can’t hold a job, and it’s possible the highly infectious nature of Omicron could mean more people seek out post-COVID care. “If Omicron infects a lot of unvaccinated people, we will have a flood of post-COVID patients,” said Dr....
