The Los Angeles Angels are relying on both breakout and comeback seasons from too many players this season. Despite the Angels' roster having many question marks about its players' capabilities, Lucas opens the show with a bold take: Los Angeles is a dark-horse playoff team this season, but there are a few reasons this is controversial. The Angels' roster lacks a lot of proven talent and is banking on great years from a number of players.

The hole was hard enough already at 236 yards, something Rory McIlroy alluded to after his Wednesday Pro-Am . With heavy rains in the forecast for Thursday' opening round, though, the PGA Tour elected to have the field play it from 220 yards. Only 27 players have played the hole so far, but it's clear that the use of a shorter tee box has not made the hole any less difficult. Just ask Ludvig Aber…

It also qualified her for the New England Indoor Track Championships in three weeks. But the euphoria soon changed. About 45 minutes after her win, the senior, her coach and parents were met by state track officials and told she was disqualified for “unsporting conduct” for an “incident” some 90 minutes earlier before her 55-meter dash heat, wh…

Researchers have identified two brain receptors that help the brain clear away amyloid beta, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. By stimulating these receptors in mice, scientists increased levels of a natural amyloid-breaking enzyme, reduced buildup in the brain, and improved memory-related behavior. Because these receptors are common drug targets, the findings could open the door to affordable pill-based treatments with fewer side effects.
