A former undrafted free agent, Tonyan ranks third on the Packers in receptions this season.

ATLANTA — Each of the next three days, a baseball stadium will dim its lights, thousands of people will illuminate the flashlights on their phones and they will engage in a wildly ahistorical, fundamentally problematic and altogether unnecessary ritual.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Russell Westbrook said, “It’s my fault, it’s on me,” when asked about his double-digit turnovers in the Lakers’ 123-115 loss to the Thunder on Wednesday. “How I play the game, I’m more old-school,” Westbrook said, explaining why he took issue with the Thunder’s Darius Bazley for scoring on a breakaway dunk with […]
Earlier Wednesday, Kyle Beach came forward as “John Doe,” the former Blackhawks player who filed a lawsuit against the team for mishandling his sexual assault allegations. “I’ve witnessed meetings, right after I reported it to James Gary, that were held in Joel Quenneville’s office. “As an organization, we commend Kyle Beach for his courage in […]
METAIRIE, La. The deal includes a swap of late-round picks, the source said. At their peak, Ingram and Kamara were one of the best running back duos in NFL history. Kamara is on pace to break his career high for carries in a season by more than 100, and he reached 30 touches in a […]
It’s the highest combined winning percentage for a Thursday game in October or later during the Super Bowl era and the first time since the 1970 merger that two teams with at least 13 combined wins meet in Week 8 or earlier.
