In 2017, Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan and coach Todd Bowles might as well keep that quote posted on their respective office walls. The rebuilding (tanking?) New York franchise and its fans don’t have much to see in the present. They know this season is all about the future. No, the Jets have not yet figured out what to do for the long term at quarterback, and first-year offensive coordinator John Morton might be joining a lame-duck coaching staff....

To balance out the young leaders of the offense, the Cowboys needed to get more fresh-faced on the other side of the ball. The spotlight will fall on several players selected in the past two drafts, including one wild card with the potential to transcend the front seven. There also are a few things that will be different around Prescott and Elliott, but everything still points to them being better together....

The Yankees (38-29) provided the opportunity last week, with a disastrous seven-game California road trip that produced just one win against the Angels and zero wins against the A’s. And the Red Sox (39-30) took advantage of the opportunity, going 4-2 last week — including two wins in three road games against the AL-leading Astros — to pull into a virtual tie atop the standings. The Yankees are a couple measly percentage points in front of the Red Sox (....

One player who does not believe Brady cheated is none other than former NFL quarterback Brett Favre. The Packers legend was interviewed by Greta Van Susteren on Fox News earlier this week and gave his thoughts on Deflategate. MORE: Brady’s appeal is a fight with Wells | PHOTOS: Suspensions shorter than Brady’s Before sharing his opinion, Favre said he hasn’t followed Deflategate too closely and he doesn’t know Brady that well....

The social crowd reacted after the Hall of Fame quarterback was photographed standing beside Trump on one of the greens at Trump National in Bedminster, N.J., both smiling into the camera. Tucked inside criticism of Trump for golfing rather than working to end the COVID-19 pandemic were jokes and memes about Favre, a few of them NSFW.

MORE: Why Dak Prescott will (and should) get paid more than Carson Wentz Alas, like many things on the internet, it was too good to be true. The internet’s suspicions about the post were confirmed when it was quickly deleted and Favre told TMZ his account had been hacked. When asked about the post on Saturday as he participated in the American Family Insurance Championship, Favre made it perfectly clear he has no intention of playing in the NFL again: “The last thing I want to do is come back and play....

Brett Gardner leapt and collided with the outfield wall with two outs and the bases loaded in the top of the ninth but was able to snowcone a would-be three-run extra-base hit off the bat of Blue Jays slugger Justin Smoak to secure a 7-6 win Tuesday at Yankee Stadium. After he landed and realized the ball was in his mitt, Gardner leapt again with fists raised to celebrate the Yankees’ third straight win....

“Took an awkward swing,” Davis said, via Fox Sports. “Knee over-rotated and got some meniscus tear, so.” The Brewers announced Sunday morning Davis had been placed on the 15-day disabled list. Though a timetable for his return has yet to be established, Davis is expected to be sidelined for at least a month. When asked to describe the frustrating situation for both himself and his last-place team, Davis replied, “The worst....

In the Super Bowl era, only three Giants coaches have won multiple playoff games. Daboll has a chance to join that group in his first season. So, yeah, Daboll is more than just the excitable coach on the sideline who led New York’s turnaround this season. He has legitimized a franchise that had not won a playoff game since 2011. When you look at Daboll’s coaching roots, it’s easy to see it’s not an accident....

The second baseman on Tuesday signed a new four-year contract with the team that covers all of his arbitration-eligible seasons. The deal is worth $20 million, according to USA Today and other reports. Dozier, who turns 28 in May, was the Twins’ eighth-round pick in the 2009 draft. He reached the majors in 2012 and has settled in as Minnesota’s everyday second baseman the last two seasons. He hit ....

One (very large) former Redskin, current Titans linebacker Brian Orakpo, was particularly peeved by Cooley’s remarks. MORE RG3: Can’t erase that 2012 season | Five best fits (Warning: tweets contain profanity) Current Redskins Ricky Jean Francois and Niles Paul also were displeased with Cooley, who said both the offensive line and receivers didn’t like Griffin. Former Redskin and current ESPN analyst Ryan Clark dismissed Cooley on ESPN’s “First Take.”...

Washington coach Ron Rivera told reporters on Monday that running back Brian Robinson Jr., the Commanders’ third-round pick at No. 98 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, has been cleared by team doctors to return to football activities. That follows a preseason shooting incident that resulted in Robinson’s placement on injured reserve. Though Robinson was seen participating in team drills in practice before, his removal from IR gives him three weeks to return to the lineup, else he will miss the remainder of the season....

In a viral post shared on Reddit’s Am I The A**hole (AITA) subforum under the username Present-Ad-3934, the 25-year-old bride said: “It’s my wedding and I don’t want someone over-shining me and the server should know she’s at work and not dress up so much. “It was super distracting. She was walking around serving drinks and talking to my guests,” the user said. The bride later told the waitress’ boss that she would be “calling the cops” if the worker didn’t leave....

It’s a situation that has left many calling on her fiancé, the young girl’s father, to “reconsider the marriage,” with many viewing her actions as a major “red flag” for their future. In the past, demanding brides have often been labeled “bridezillas” over what is perceived to be a rude, clumsy and occasionally confrontational approach to dealing with problems. However, in reality the situation is more complicated than that. For one thing, weddings are extremely stressful situations, with tempers prone to flare....

The run-up to a wedding is a stressful period for any would-be bride or groom with any number of tasks to complete before the big day arrives. Tensions run high and tempers can fray, particularly when it comes to sorting crucial elements—such as the wedding dress. However, one soon-to-be-married woman may have taken things to new heights after becoming embroiled in a spat with a teen preparing for her 16th birthday....

WARTS Microbe vs. Microbe: Candida Can Do It Most warts are harmless viral eruptions that disappear within two years. But since many people hate to see brown cauliflower sprouting from their skin, doctors often burn or freeze the growths away. Unfortunately, these treatments cause pain and scarring, and the warts often return. A new report in the Archives of Dermatology suggests another approach. Researchers led by Dr. Terry Ruhl of Altoona, Pa....

If that were all he had done, Bennett would still be living the quiet life of a pensioner. Hospitals, where most people are infected with staph, already have lotions that can kill the bug. The problem is, the instant that nurses or doctors finish washing their hands, they’re vulnerable to getting infected again. Bennett’s cream keeps the hands from being reinfected–for hours. How did he do come up with the magic formula?...
