When the Kevin Durant-led Golden State Warriors took down the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Finals, few thought the ensuring arms race would include everyone but LeBron James and his superteam.
Hindsight might end up telling the story as the downfall of the Cavaliers, the defeat a self-destruct of epic proportions rather than the team rallying and making a big splash to serve a counter punch to the Warriors.
Before last week, at worst it looked like the Cavaliers would remain standing...
NASCAR on NBC announced Monday that it came to terms on a multiyear deal with Dale Earnhardt Jr. to serve as an on-air analyst.
Adam Stern and John Ourand of SportsBusiness Daily were the first to report the news and added that Junior's deal will begin in January.
Stern and Ourand also reported that Earnhardt signed with NBCUniversal rather than NBC Sports, and it is expected he will be used in a capacity that isn't exclusive to NASCAR.
Since NBC only carries the second half of the NASCAR...
ESPN's John Keim reported Monday that Washington Redskins safety DeAngelo Hall will begin training camp on the physically unable to perform list.
The veteran defensive back suffered a torn ACL in Week 3 of the 2016 season.
Hall appeared in just three games last season, and durability has become a major area of concern for him in recent years.
The 33-year-old also missed all but three games in 2014, and he appeared in just 11 games during the 2015 campaign.
Hall is set to enter his 10th...
RB Leipzig coach Ralph Hasenhuttl reportedly called off a training session on Monday after a dangerous tackle from Liverpool target Naby Keita on team-mate Diego Demme.
According to Bild (h/t Luke Brown of The Independent), Demme was left "screaming" after the challenge and left the field with his knee bandaged. Hasenhuttl is said to have demanded an apology from the Guinea international and Keita agreed to.
As noted by Brown, the Reds have been linked with a big-money move for Keita,...
Fact: Jordan Spieth won the Open Championship on Sunday, joining Jack Nicklaus as the only golfers in the Masters era to win three different majors before turning 24.
Bleacher Report will be bringing sports fans the most interesting and engaging Cold Hard Facts of the day, presented by Coors Light.

With one of the greatest-ever closes to a major championship, Jordan Spieth captures the third leg of a career slam faster than Tiger Woods.
Where does Jordan Spieth want our expectations to go now?
"It seems a bit unfair at 22 to be expecting something like that all the time," he said at last year's Open in a memorably frosty press conference.
After it became academic that his chances of winning at Troon had been blown away in the wind, a frustrated Spieth met the media and had clearly had...
Monday’s Say Hey, Baseball looks at the arrival of a top prospect, Clayton Kershaw’s injury, and a fun Giancarlo Stanton rumor.
How desperate are the Red Sox for a third baseman? Not desperate enough to try Pablo Sandoval there again, but catcher Christian Vazquez has twice been placed at third late in games, and overall, Boston third basemen have hit .228/.280/.320. The Sox were linked to a bunch of non-third basemen on the trade market — Asdrubal Cabrera, Ian Kinsler, utility man...
Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s post-retirement plans will include a role with NBC Sports, where he’ll serve as an analyst for the network’s NASCAR coverage beginning next season.
NBC has not determined if Earnhardt, who signed a multiyear contract, will join Rick Allen (play-by-play), Jeff Burton, and Steve Letarte (analysts) in the broadcast booth where they will call NBC’s 20-race portion of the Monster Energy Cup Series. But Earnhardt will have a significant presence regardless of his role,...
We don’t know how hard it is to live in the shadow of a legend.
In this Age of Superteams, Kyrie Irving’s decision to walk away from LeBron James and the Cavaliers is out of tune with the rest of the NBA. Everyone else is mad when they don’t have a superstar teammate, and then they wind up working the levers to land one or to land where one or two are already in place.
Irving already has the best player in the world in LeBron and a very good power forward in Kevin Love. Together,...
Rose could be the Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving replacement, but don’t expect him to be Kyrie.
The Cleveland Cavaliers and Derrick Rose are meeting on Monday to negotiate a deal, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The team sides have mutual interest in Rose signing a one-year minimum deal worth $2.1 million, but there has been no decision yet.
Rose’s meeting comes in the wake of the Kyrie Irving trade request, after the 25-year-old point guard met with the Cavaliers to tell them that...
Inside the dysfunction surrounding Irving's trade demand
There's one week left until Major League Baseball's July 31 non-waiver trade deadline; that's plenty of time for things to occur.
Here are a few predictions about what will happen.
To be exact, there are eight of them ahead. Not all have to do with trades that will be made. Some cover trades that won't happen. But the list mostly consists of the former. And don't worry, big names and big teams abound.
Going in no particular order, let's get to it.

In the space of six days last week, the Pittsburgh Pirates made up six games in the National League Central standings. The Texas Rangers have 10 weeks to make up a 2.5-game deficit in the American League wild-card race.
Put it that way, and it sounds like there's no reason for the Rangers to give up on this season.
But try thinking of it this way: The Rangers haven't been more than a game over .500 since Memorial Day, and even after a weekend sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays, they're still two...
The Colorado Rockies (58-42) will try to extend their winning streak to three games versus the St. Louis Cardinals (47-51) as road underdogs at the sportsbooks for Monday's series opener.
The Rockies are also hoping to continue their push for a wild-card spot in the National League while the Cardinals are back home after dropping two of three to the Chicago Cubs to wrap up a 10-game road trip.
Betting line: The Cardinals opened as -131 favorites (wager $131 to win $100); the...
The Major League Baseball trade deadline is rapidly approaching, and while a number of key trades have already taken place, more moves are on the horizon.
The Chicago Cubs made a trade with their cross-town rival Chicago White Sox to upgrade their pitching staff by adding Jose Quintana. That trade was made at the All-Star break, and the Cubs have played much better since acquiring the left-handed starter.
The White Sox, in the middle of a rebuilding plan, also completed a trade with the New...
With every passing week of the summer, hundreds of millions of pounds are being spent by Europe's top teams. The market is inflated, but they don't care; the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea are still paying top dollar in order to secure top talents.
But not every club is armed with billionaire owners or revenue streams to die for; some must haggle hard for a decent price and hunt fervently for bargains.
It's largely that latter set of clubs saluted in this article, in which we chart...
Manchester City announced the capture of AS Monaco star Benjamin Mendy on Monday, with the Frenchman signing a five-year deal at the Etihad Stadium.
City relayed the news via their official Twitter feed:
Mendy is relishing the prospect of linking up with manager Pep Guardiola:
He also told Rob Pollard of Manchester City's official website: "I am absolutely delighted to be joining Manchester City. They are one of Europe's leading clubs and in Pep Guardiola they have a manager committed to...
Former Denver Broncos and Washington Redskins safety David Bruton Jr. announced his retirement from the NFL on Sunday at the age of 30.
According to ESPN.com's Jeff Legwold, Bruton made the decision official on his birthday and cited both a lack of passion for the game as well as health concerns as reasons after suffering six concussions during his career.
Per Legwold, Bruton discussed the importance of having a sharp mind and the fact that it played into his choice to step away from the...
Imagine thinking it's too early to discuss 2018 NBA free agency.
Plenty of 2017 dominoes still need to fall (howdy, Nerlens Noel), but next year's available names are already beckoning—and they want us to know they wish it were 2016.
The era of endless cap space, universally good contracts and infinite possibilities is over. Reality is beginning to settle in. The cap seems to have leveled off. Over-the-top deals are no longer the standard. Fewer teams will have money to burn next July, and...
