导出博客文章Almost 46 years to the day after the NFL first staked a claim on Monday night,
theres finally a better matchup on another channel.Hillary vs. The Donald.For
years, generals and politicians used sports metaphors to explain some of the
most consequential issues of our time. So just this once, lets flip the script.
Forget for a moment that the future of America -- not to mention civilization --
hangs in the balance. Instead, imagine the debate as a sporting event ...Think
Trump as Mike Tyson. Announcer: Hes still looking to land that one big punch.
And hes had it with the fact-checking low blows and policy-question clinches.
Hold on! Did he just bite the top of her ear off?Or Clinton as the late, usually
mild-mannered Arizona Cardinals coach Dennis Green, firing back at critics who
suggested she didnt take her opponent seriously enough: He is who we thought he
was! Thats why I took the stage! Now if you want to crown him, you can crown
him! But he is who we thought he was!Its so tempting that a number of political
analysts are using sports-writing tools to break down the matchup: offense vs.
defense, strengths and weaknesses, how the coaching staffs and training
facilities stack up, even how the practice sessions have been going.No one has
posted a point spread yet, so feel free to add your own Mercifully, weve also
been spared a Tale of the Tape.Were excluding pro wrestling comparisons, because
thats too easy. Already, billionaire Dallas Mavericks owner and former
Trump-confidant-turned-critic Mark Cuban bragged about snagging a front-row seat
for what he called the Humbling at Hofstra. Trump countered by inviting Gennifer
Flowers, who claimed a long-running affair with Clintons husband.And I hear from
a lot of people that Trumps camp lobbied to have close pal Don King replace NBCs
Lester Holt as moderator.The best comparisons to the Clinton-Trump battle from
different sports:FOOTBALLClinton is serious and prepared. She uses her practice
time purposefully. She has experience, a multitude of game plans and knows how
to manage the clock. If she was a player, shed be Peyton Manning. If she was a
coach -- lets see: wonky, secretive, willing to bend rules, even got caught
recently fudging an injury report -- shed be Bill Belichick. Definitely
Belichick.As a player, Trump would be Brett Favre, a gunslinger who was at his
best on broken plays and never saw a throw he wouldnt make. If he was a coach,
hed be Chip Kelly in his Oregon days, breaking the mold with his house-on-fire
offensive attack. Or maybe Steve Spurrier at Florida, less worried about what
his opponents might do than whether he could sneak out of a film session and
squeeze in nine holes before sundown.BASEBALLClinton would be a reliable contact
hitter with decent power. She can use the whole field, bunt or move the runner
over when called for -- in short, Ted Williams. Teddy Ballgame did all those
things -- and still managed to alienate the Boston media and even some fans.
Plus, his family chose to have his remains frozen, so -- he could still have a
comeback worthy of Clinton.Trump would be Barry Bonds, a threat to homer in
every at-bat, but also arrogant, willing to break the rules and unapologetic
about it. Like the late-career Bonds, hed also need an XXL-sized hat.If they
were managers, shed be Buck Showalter and hed be Bob Brenly.Brenly succeeded
Showalter as skipper of the Arizona Diamondbacks and in his first
spring-training meeting with the team, dropped Showalters inch-thick
organization handbook on the floor and pulled out a cocktail napkin with his
rules scrawled across it. They read: Be on time. Play hard.BASKETBALLThere hasnt
been so much ego confined in a space about the size of an NBA lane since
long-retired titans Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain battled.Russell was the
ultimate defender, always in position and so ready to plug holes his Celtic
teammates devised the Hey Bill defense; anytime an opponent broke free and
headed for the hoop, they simply yelled Hey Bill.Chamberlain was brought a
skillset unlike any big man before him. He hogged the prime real estate on the
court, drew all eyes to him and scored almost at will. And did we mention his
lavish tastes?As a coach, Clinton would be Gregg Popovich, tailoring his schemes
to fit the talent on the floor and eager to use immigrants like Manu Ginobili
and Tony Parker. Trump would be Larry Brown, a his-way-or-the-highway leader who
quickly loses interest in failing ventures quickly and thinks the team bus
should always be running in case he needs to make his latest getaway.

Minn.Manchester Citys Raheem Sterling is in a more positive state of mind for
Euro 2016 after working with sports psychiatrist Dr Steve Peters. The
21-year-old has had a tough time in his maiden season at the Etihad Stadium
following his £49m move from Liverpool and has struggled to reproduce his best
form.But having sought help off the pitch from Peters, who has worked with
England since the 2014 World Cup, as well as Liverpool and snooker player Ronnie
OSullivan, Sterling feels much better. Really it has been about me getting in a
positive mindset with the staff here, Dr Steve Peters, and getting my mentality
stronger, said the winger.He has definitely helped me. I have been seeing him
here with the national team. Most of the boys do.He just gets it into your head
that mentality is key and a strong part of it is blocking certain things out and
focusing singularly on your football.I have been working on that. He was with us
at Liverpool and since I moved to City I didnt have a chance to work with him.
So since I joined up with England I have started speaking to him, it is a real
bonus for me. Englands Marcus Rashford has impressed Sterling Sterling is by no
means guaranteed a starting place in Roy Hodgsons line-up so he knows he has to
work hard to regain the spark he had at Anfield.ddddddddddddThe competition for
places is really fierce, he added.There are loads of players with ability here
so no one can take anything for granted. That is one thing I am not doing. Euro
call Who will England boss Roy Hodgson take to Euro 2016? Sterling was 19 when
he went to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil so he knows what Manchester United
teenager Marcus Rashford will be feeling after he scored on his senior debut
against Australia to give Hodgson food for thought ahead of his final cut to the
squad on Tuesday.I would say to [Rashford] to keep on doing what he is doing,
added Sterling.He is humble around the place and quiet and I like that. He has
been really eager since he joined up. He has been friendly with everyone and hes
really nice to have around. Also See: Who will England take to Euro 2016? Roy
