The first two he met wondered, "Who is the new guy?" Pitcher Adam Wainwright asked, "Where's your other half?" Consider the wisecracks compliments, independent confirmations of the offseason work Lynn did to rethink his diet, shed weight, maintain strength and better prepare for more than just this coming season. "It's a lifestyle change," Lynn said Friday. "That's the way I took it. It wasn't like this was a...

LeBron James scored 30 points in another efficient performance, Dwyane Wade added 20 and the Miami Heat dominated the middle two quarters on the way to an easy 111-89 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. James shot 9 for 11, giving him 37 makes on his last 47 attempts, and sat out the fourth quarter.

By Tadhg Peavoy Two wounded beasts come into a must win game in Paris. Both sides lost their hopes of a 2013 Grand Slam in their opening encounters last week and will be desperate to secure two points this weekend. France were awful last weekend against Italy in Rome. The talk prior to the game was of a France side that had shrugged off their indiscipline and erratic nature, and led by the notoriously erratic fly-half Frédéric Michalak, would deliver English consistency this term, starting with a routine win on Italian soil. They displayed none of that. It was an arrogant, lazy and careless performance from Philippe...

Feb 9 (Reuters) - Title holders Velez Sarsfield made a winning start to Argentina's "Final" championship on Friday after the floodlights failed at both matches. Velez, winners of the "Inicial" championship in December, beat Argentinos Juniors 1-0 at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium through a fine strike from 30 metres by Lucas Pratto. Argentinos had started strongly but a power failure after 12 minutes caused a delay of more than half an hour and on their return to action Velez had adjusted their tactical plans and took control. The bad news for Velez, who are eyeing a second South American Libertadores Cup this...
