Answers by Pat Cash, Wimbledon champion and 5-time Grand Slam finalist Q: What is it like to win Wimbledon? What it’s like to win Wimbledon is one of the common questions I get asked in interviews. Strangely, it’s also one of the worst and most difficult to explain simply. I think the feeling of achieving the dream you had as a child, the thing you want more than anything, what you’ve been working towards almost your entire life is near impossible to describe....

Genetic predisposition doesn’t have to mean predestination. If your family history suggests you carry a dangerous gene, you can be placed on high-alert surveillance. Men whose mothers had family-linked breast cancer may, for example, be at risk of colon and pancreatic cancer. Awareness of this should lead to more frequent testing and earlier treatment. Women who learn of a history of ovarian and breast cancer before menopause might choose to get the test for the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene....

Salary cap-strapped Kansas City needed to cut both Fisher and Schwartz on Thursday for a combined needed savings of $30 million. As aging, ailing players — Fisher is 30, Schwartz will turn 32 in June — the Chiefs were probably already thinking about an overhaul for Mahomes’ pass protection. Now GM Brett Veach and coach Andy Reid are under great pressure to make tackle the team’s highest offseason priority....

Mahomes said on teammate Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast that then-offensive coordinator Matt Nagy secretly gave him some advanced notice ahead of a five-hour visit with Andy Reid and the Chiefs during the pre-draft process. “He really liked me, so he gave me the plays they were going to go over the night before,” Mahomes said. “Of course I crushed the meeting. I stayed up all night studying those plays....

Midway through the fourth quarter, Patrick Mahomes was hit in the head as he was sacked on a fourth down. He had to be helped up off the field and went straight to the medical tent after the injury.

Instead of a walk-off win reminscent of Belichick’s defensive-coordinated Giants majorly upsetting the Bills in Super Bowl 25, kicker Nick Folk missed a 56-yard field-goal attempt when the ball bounced off the left upright. IYER: Brady’s Bucs, Belichick’s Pats both win in their revenge game Although it wasn’t a real sequel to “wide right,” Patriots fans will be wondering “what if” Belichick had instead left Jones and the offense in the game to try to convert a fourth-and-3 at the Tampa Bay 37 with 59 seconds left....

Because he’s Tom Brady, people can’t help but put him into investigations. There’s always something fishy about his actions. That’s why when a Patriots fan named Matt called into Boston’s “Toucher and Rich” radio show, speculation began that “Matt” was actually Brady.

People sometimes wonder how a sophisticated, urbane country like Germany devolved into murderous chaos in the 1930s. Germany, home of Ludwig van Beethoven and Friedrich Schiller, cradle of European academic excellence and philosophy, was not a typical European colonial marauder. But there are reasons that Germany, and not its neighbors such as France or Poland, succumbed to genocidal fascism. And while history doesn’t repeat itself, there are recognizable patterns and signals....

Then, years later, I heard another person say we lost our innocence when Lyle Menendez went out and reloaded his guns. The Menendez boys’ murder of their parents in 1989 is still—I’m fairly certain—the most brutal in the annals of American family crimes. It wasn’t enough to riddle his mother with bullets. Lyle reloaded the gun and blew part of her head off. If we had any innocence left, surely we lost more of it on April 20, 1999, when Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold opened fire on the students of Columbine High School, killing 13 and wounding 21 before turning their guns on themselves....

As if 2020 wasn’t odd enough, we now find ourselves grappling with this strange piece of news. So what is going exactly?

You might not have noticed because Goldschmidt has a way of silently cruising along under the radar — just the way he likes it — but he reached base safely in every game he played in May, and his hitting streak was up to 22 games entering that Wednesday afternoon contest.
