Marc Crawford was retitled as associate coach, cementing his large share of the responsibilities next to Hawks interim coach Derek King. Cookson, 60, brings ample familiarity with the specifics of NHL assistant coaching, having filled that role from 2001 to 2011 with the Flames and from 2016 to 2019 with the Senators. Cookson served as […]
Gausman finished sixth in National League Cy Young Award voting, the highest by a Giants pitcher since Madison Bumgarner and Johnny Cueto were fourth and sixth, respectively, in 2016. The award went to Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Corbin Burnes, who edged Zack Wheeler of the Philadelphia Phillies. In his second season with the Giants, Gausman went 14-6 […]
Sherman will now be out at least three weeks after suffering a calf injury during pregame warmups prior to the Week 10 loss to Washington. The 33-year-old is just two years removed from his most recent Pro Bowl season that also saw him help the 49ers advance to the Super Bowl. The Buccaneers have dealt […]
Verlander has pitched in one game in the last two seasons because of Tommy John surgery, and he’s not exactly a known quantity as a 39-year-old coming off a lengthy rehab process. Freddie Freeman, first baseman and warrior-poet of the world champion Atlanta Braves, is a free agent. That would likely extend well into his […]
TAMPA, Fla. The Bucs have also been without their other starter, Carlton Davis, who suffered a quadriceps injury in Week 4 and has been on injured reserve. On top of that, cornerback Dee Delaney suffered a concussion at Washington, and cornerback Rashard Robinson was placed on injured reserve last week with a hamstring injury. …Read […]
The Carolina Panthers shocked the NFL world last week when they signed former quarterback Cam Newton to a one-year deal, and one week later, it looks like he will take over as their starting signal-caller. “But I think, and I was pretty transparent the other day, in terms of wanting to push him into that […]
So as they get ready to tangle with the Ravens and quarterback Lamar Jackson, they’d be wise to take a suggestion from one of the NFL’s worst defenses. They did it by relying heavily on Cover-0 and Cover-1, which are highly risky because that number indicates how many defenders are deep in the secondary. He […]
This season, the Bears have been putting Fields through practice drills to improve his accuracy rolling left. In an empty backfield on Nov. He ran that way — directly toward the Steelers bench — from the right hash mark almost to the “0” painted on the left side of the Heinz Field turf at the […]
The Chiefs designated Edwards-Helaire, who suffered an MCL sprain during the Chiefs’ Sunday Night Football Week 5 loss to the Buffalo Bills, on Wednesday, November 10, opening up a 21-day window for the team to activate him. On Monday, Reid told the media that the running back had a “better shot this week,” and there […]
Fields is becoming more assertive and more direct with his downfield intent, and despite a suspect offensive line and despite being deprived of so many snaps this summer, I believe he is going to be as exciting as any rookie in this league in the final few months of the season. In their last four […]
Cleveland won its first game without Beckham, who since signed with the Los Angeles Rams. But on Sunday, the Browns fell to the New England Patriots, 45-7, dropping their record to 5-5. “I haven’t been able to get the ball so much, either,” said Landry, when asked about a left knee sprain that kept him […]
No, no. Using Turner at short and Lux at second before entertaining a midseason extension seemed like the logical next step, especially as Andrew Friedman tried to balance so much money elsewhere with so many holes to fill. Max Scherzer is on the free agent market, and some have projected him to receive up to […]
It’s not like it’s been any kind of ‘Junction Boys’-style practice, but he’s participated,” Falcons coach Arthur Smith said. The 30-year-old is in the midst of the best year of his career with Atlanta — racking up 473 receiving yards and 303 rushing yards, already eclipsing the season highs in his prior eight years. They […]
Bell, 29, didn’t show much explosiveness in his five games with Baltimore, averaging a career-worst 2.7 yards per carry . Bell, who was behind Latavius Murray and Devonta Freeman in the backfield pecking order, never started a game for the Ravens and never participated in more than 42% of their snaps in a game. “I […]
“Gary and Alex Hales got really close when they played for England together, that’s my understanding,” he said. Root has done much to guide England’s stance on inclusion, tolerance and showing cricket can be for everyone. Apart from Root, there are seven other members of England’s Ashes squad that played international cricket alongside Ballance. You […]
Other leading players, including men’s No. Peng wrote in a lengthy social media post earlier this month that a former vice premier had forced her to have sex despite repeated refusals. Peng, 35, wrote that Zhang Gaoli, a former vice premier and member of the ruling Communist Party’s all-powerful Politburo Standing Committee, had forced her […]
When you think about grace in our game, Bobby Cox is right there, certainly as a manager, and then certainly at the top with the impact he had on people. The Rays opened the season with the fifth-lowest payroll in the sport, but they held off the veteran-laden Red Sox, the young and dynamic Blue […]
Crypto.com is paying $700 million, according to multiple reports, over 20 years to rename the building. The 20,000-seat arena has been Staples Center since it opened in October 1999, with the naming rights owned by the American office-supplies retail company under a 20-year agreement. The platform has inked high-visibility sponsorship deals with Formula One, the […]
