 Max Scherzer  heard  his  name and thrust  his  arms in the air  shouting and smiling big before turning to kiss  his  wife.
 The animated Scherzer of the Washington Nationals  coasted to  his  third Cy Young  winning Wednesday for the second straight year in the National League.  He  breezed past Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw  drawing 27 of the 30 first-place votes in balloting by members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
 Scherzer  yelled "yes!" when  his  award was announced on MLB Network  a reaction in keeping with  his  expressive reputation.  He  showed that intensity often this year  whether  he  was cursing under  his  breath like a madman during  his  delivery or demanding â also with expletives â that manager Dusty Baker leave  him  in the game.
 Scherzer 's win moves him into rare company. He's the 10th pitcher with at least three Cy Youngs  and among the other nine  only Kershaw and Roger Clemens aren't in the Hall of Fame.
"That's why I'm drinking a lot of champagne tonight "  Scherzer  said.
 Scherzer  earned the NL honor last year with Washington and the 2013 American League prize with Detroit.
 Scherzer  was 16-6 with a career-best 2.51 ERA this year. The 33-year-old righty struck out a league-leading 268 for the NL East champion Nationals  and in an era noted for declining pitcher durability  he eclipsed 200 innings for the fifth straight season. He had to overcome a variety of ailments to get there  and Washington's training staff was high on his thank-you list.
Kluber and Scherzer both had rough outings in the playoffs. Kluber gave up nine runs over two starts in an AL Division Series against the Yankees  and  Scherzer  blew a save in the decisive Game 5 of an NL Division Series against the Cubs.
 Scherzer  said  he  couldn't even watch the League Championship Series  although  he  did tune in for the World Series.
"That will eat at  me  this whole offseason "  he  said.

SOLUTION: Scherzer

PROBLEM: FRANKFURT/LONDON (Reuters) -  Gucci-owner Kering (PRTP.PA)  plans to spin off German sports brand Puma (PUMG.DE) to the French conglomerate’s shareholders as  it  sharpens the group’s focus squarely on its luxury brands.
 Kering  said  it  planned to distribute 70 percent of Puma shares in kind to  its  investors  leaving  it  with only a 16 percent stake in the sportwear group  confirming an exclusive Reuters report.
 Kering  is a little more than 40 percent controlled by the French Pinault family  who would receive about 29 percent of the sporting goods company  while Puma’s free float would stand at about 55 percent.
Shedding Puma  meanwhile  would turn  Kering  into a pure player in the high-margin luxury business  where  it  rivals larger peers such as French conglomerate LVMH (LVMH.PA).
 “Kering  would dedicate  itself  entirely to the development of  its  luxury houses ”  Kering  Chairman and CEO Francois-Henri Pinault said in a statement.
Puma struggled for years after it was bought by Kering for 5.3 billion euros ($6.4 billion) in 2007  but recent improved performance has raised expectations that the French group would sell its stake this year.
Puma’s shares rose by 45 percent over the past year  bringing its market capitalisation to 5.3 billion euros  back at the level at which  Kering  bought.
 Kering  emerged as one of the big winners in a luxury goods revival last year as Chinese demand picked up  with a stellar turn at brand-of-the-moment Gucci helping earnings and other labels such as Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga.

SOLUTION: Kering

PROBLEM: Jeremy Lin  is an Asian-American NBA player for the Brooklyn Nets  and he has dreadlocks. Most people simply found that eye-catching  but one former player took it a step further.
Former Nets forward Kenyon Martin tore into  Lin  in an Instagram video Wednesday for the dreadlocks  but  Lin âs response showed class and the composure of someone who has been judged for being an Asian in a predominantly black league for years.
âDo I need to remind this damn boy that his last name Lin?â Martin said. âLike  come on  man. Letâs stop with these people. There is no way possible he wouldâve made it on one of our teams with that bulls**t on his head. âCome on man  somebody need to tell him  like  âalright bro  we get it. You wanna be black.â Like  we get it. But your last name is  Lin  â Martin continued.
 Lin âs response
 Lin  avoided taking any direct shots at Martin in  his  reply  but did point out one glaring bit of hypocrisy in Martinâs cultural appropriation accusation.
 Lin  posted this in an Instagram comment (emphasis added):
Martin  a black man  was accusing  Lin  of trying to be black because of his hair  while Martin himself has tattoos of Chinese lettering on his forearm.
 Lin  explained  his  reasons for  his  unique hairstyle choice in a column on The Playersâ Tribune.
âBut I liked how the process of changing my look actually made me feel more like  myself  again. I realized that in the years since Linsanity  I had spent a lot of time in a box  worrying about other peopleâs opinions on what I should and shouldnât be doing. I wanted to stop basing my decisions so much on what strangers or critics might say about  me . It was cool how something as simple as how I wore my hair could pull me out of my comfort zone and make me feel more free.â
 Lin   a Harvard graduate who made it to the NBA despite being undrafted  enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame with the New York Knicks  followed by an injury-ridden fall from grace.
