He may be 12 years old, but there's much to envy about Jared Stancil's golf game. His tee shots sail 180 yards straight down the middle of the fairway, his iron play is consistently good and his chipping game leaves short putts to capitalize on. It's easy to see why the boy from Bradenton, Fla. who has Down syndrome is [...]
The Denver Broncos traded Demaryius Thomas to the Houston Texans on Tuesday, but a big part of his heart will always belong in Denver. Not only was he the longest tenured player for the Broncos, but he was extremely active in the community, whether attending toy drives, visiting patients at children's hospitals or hosting youth football camps. He was also [...]
In any marathon, there's always a significant group of runners who aim to break the 4-hour mark. At 70 years old, Gene Dykes is not one of them. Instead, he chases the sub-3-hour goal. Dykes, who only began seriously running marathons at 58, according to Canada Running Series, turned heads on Oct. 21 when he ran the Toronto Waterfront Marathon [...]

Ryan Shazier may not be suiting up for the Pittsburgh Steelers after suffering a serious spinal injury in December against the Cincinnati Bengals, but he's using his platform in a more meaningful way than laying hits on the field. The 26-year-old linebacker and 2014 first-round draft pick recently visited Hayden Hamilton, a high school football player who suffered a spinal [...]
Jeannie Rice is hell on wheels, even at 70 years old. The real estate agent from Ohio swooped though the city of Chicago in a blistering 3 hours, 27 minutes and 50 seconds to not only take first place in her age group at the 2018 Chicago Marathon, but to set a new 70+ age group world record in the [...]
There are diehard fans, and then there's 102-year-old Mary Latowski. The Boston Red Sox fan will be at Fenway Park on Wednesday night enduring temperatures in the 40s as her beloved team takes on the L.A. Dodgers in Game 2 of the 2018 World Series. That alone is impressive, but when you consider that Latowski had a stroke three weeks [...]
Conor McGregor may wear fighting gloves rather than a baseball mitt, but that doesn't mean the controversial UFC fighter isn't interested in a World Series that pits the Boston Red Sox against the L.A.
