Let Brandon Marshall sum it up. MORE: 2017 NFL Mock Draft “The best way I can describe it is, having a diaper on and never changing it and to be sitting on that diaper the whole year,” the Jets receiver said Tuesday on Showtime’s “Inside the NFL.” “That’s how our year was. It was a bad year.” Pretty much. Merely a year ago, the 10-win Jets came within one game of a playoff berth....
Brandon Marshall can’t hold back about his tenure with the Dolphins behind him. On Wednesday, he took a verbal shot at former MIami quarterback Chad Henne. “We were a quarterback away from having a team,” Marshall told South Florida reporters in a midweek conference call. “Our defense were studs. Offensively … I really thought we had a young group of guys that could have done some special things if we came together....
The Braves’ skipper had just one pitcher of the six who went in Game 4 on Saturday throw multiple innings, and coming into Game 5 on Sunday, but he knew the bullpen would be extra tired coming off two straight games with at least five pitchers used. “When we won yesterday, it made it easier, I guess, coming into this one, but we knew it was going to be tough,” Snitker said....
The Braves notched their first World Series since 1995 on Tuesday, polishing off an unreal season (really, from August onward), gaining momentum like a freight train and finishing off the Astros in Game 6 on Tuesday, 7-0. For all the dominance the Braves have had since Aug. 1, they’ve had just as much fun on the field. Exhibit 1: Ozzie Albies. MORE: Soler’s mammoth HR a symbol of Braves’ power...
But here’s the thing: Ozzie Albies doesn’t really get on base that much. Seriously. For all the good Albies has done through 41 games, the Braves’ second baseman carries a paltry .316 on-base percentage coming into play Wednesday. That’s not good, especially not good for a lead-off hitter. So why bring this up? Whatever he’s doing is clearly working, right? Well, it depends on how you look at it. And here’s how I look at it: Albies would probably be an even better hitter with just a slight change to his offensive approach....
There still is lots of time for the Dodgers and Giants to respond, but the Diamondbacks have Greinke, Miller, healthy-again Patrick Corbin and talented youngster Robbie Ray fronting their rotation, a solid, if aging, closer in Brad Ziegler, a lineup whose only weaknesses are in a defensively strong middle infield, and on and on. They’re good, and no matter what the California powers do, Arizona will be a formidable foe....
The altercation occurred with 4:37 left in the second half. Top-seeded Bryant, playing on its home court at the Chace Athletic Center in Smithfield, R.I., was leading 68-32 when members of its student section began to fight with a small contingent of Wagner fans. MORE: Updated list of automatic NCAA tournament bid winners The fighting took place directly behind the Wagner bench. Several players had to be restrained and stopped from entering the stands....
The Paris Saint-Germain forward fractured a metatarsal in February and consequently underwent surgery, leaving his participation in the World Cup in doubt. In Neymar’s absence, Brazil defeated Russia 3-0 before recording a 1-0 triumph over Germany on Tuesday to gain a small measure of revenge for the 7-1 battering they received against Die Mannschaft on home soil in the semi-finals of the 2014 World Cup. Tite had described Neymar as “irreplaceable” before the friendlies, but was happy with the way his side responded to playing without their talisman....
LIVE: Follow Brazil vs. Croatia updates from the World Cup The Selecao look to traverse a quarterfinal matchup against Croatia, with the 2018 finalists looking to make another run themselves. Both Gabriel Jesus and Alex Telles were ruled out of the remainder of the competition last week, further weakening what had been billed as the strongest squad in Qatar. Fortunately, there was better news on Danilo and Neymar, who were back into contention for the last-16 clash with South Korea....
Here is a look at the infielders on the ballot, with a gut reaction and the cases that could be made by characters who are caricatures of the old-school way of thinking about Hall candidates and the heavily stats-influenced way of thinking about Hall candidates. Tommy Typewriter and Sal Seamhead both have facts on their side. In reality, a judicious consideration of a Hall of Fame candidate should include all information available....
Can anybody break up the Alabama-Clemson monopoly at the top of college football? Throughout the offseason, Sporting News will take a closer look at some of our post-spring top-10 programs that have the best chance to pull it off. MORE: Sporting News’ post-spring top 25 Today, we’ll take a closer look at the first team most people think of first when breaking up that monopoly. Georgia is ranked No. 3 in SN’s post-spring top 25, and the Bulldogs are 24-5 over the last two seasons....
Not everyone who survives childhood cancer has the same risk. Having received chest radiation, certain chemotherapy drugs, having a gene mutation associated with breast cancer, or family history of breast cancer are all associated with a greater risk (but the risk remains high even in survivors who do not have these risk factors). The issue of breast cancer screening after childhood cancer will only become more important. There are currently over 400,000 childhood cancer survivors in the United States, and that number is growing due to better treatments and survival rates....
The 21-year-old thought he had his first Premier League goal on opening weekend against Wolves, a 74th-minute winner, but it was officially ruled an own-goal by Rayan Ait-Nouri. It took him two more weeks, but Aaronson finally snagged his first official Premier League strike to open the scoring against Chelsea as Leeds recorded a memorable 3-0 win over their rivals at Elland Road with Rodrigo and Jack Harrison also finding the net....
Favre, the three-time NFL MVP and one-time Super Bowl champion, announced his endorsement of Trump in a tweet. “My Vote is for what makes this country great, freedom of speech & religion, 2nd Amnd, hard working tax paying citizens, police & military,” Favre wrote in his tweet. “In this election, we have freedom of choice, which all should respect. For me & these principles, my Vote is for @RealDonaldTrump. #Vote....
Nelson spent the past seven nine seasons on coaching staffs, seven as an assistant. Wojciechowski, a long-time assistant at Duke, was named Marquette coach earlier this month. "Brett's career to this point as a player and a coach speaks for itself," Wojciechowski said in a statement issued by Marquette. "He has had the opportunity to both play for, and work with, coaching staffs for which I have a tremendous amount of respect....
The report, entitled “Operation Yellowhammer,” outlines a laundry list of ways life on the British Isles could be disrupted if politicians can’t reach a trade deal with the EU in the next 11 weeks. The yellowhammer is a small bird that is on track for extinction. According to one BBC report, the document was leaked to the press by a former government minister hoping to influence negotiations with the EU....
Robinson, the latest in a line of bruising Crimson Tide backs, could very well have his name called on Day 2 of the draft — a highly unlikely scenario ahead of the 2021 season, for reasons outside of his ability to control. MORE: NFL Draft grades 2022: Live results & analysis for every pick in Rounds 1-3 That said, Robinson made a fantastic financial decision to return for the 2021 season, his first as the featured running back in an offense that produced two first-round selections in offensive tackle Evan Neal and receiver Jameson Williams (and likely will produce another in 2023 with quarterback Bryce Young, winner of the 2021 Heisman Trophy)....
Published on Reddit’s r/AmITheA**hole forum, a man under the anonymous username u/aitadad83772 shared his story in order to receive the opinions of the “AITA” community. The original poster (OP) began his story by explaining that he has two children. He has one biological 6-year-old named “Alicia” and a 14-year-old stepdaughter named “Marissa.” He explains that his wife, “Natalie,” has an ex who is a “narcissistic a**hole” and since Natalie works long hours, OP and Marissa have become really close....
The Williams Institute estimates that around 3.5 percent of adults in the U.S. identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual which equates to around 9 million people in total. Despite this, a study from the Center for American Progress found that one in four LGBT individuals experienced some form of discrimination. One such example was recently shared to Reddit’s “Am I The A*****?” subreddit and served to demonstrate the insidious way discrimination of this kind continues to exist....
Taylor Riley Adams from Colorado and her new husband were left shocked when their guests started to leave their wedding not long after arriving. The wedding, in October 2021, was attended by around 50 guests but, by around 9 p.m., they were almost all gone. ‘We thought leaving after three-and-a half hours was weird’ “All but three guests left early—my two brothers and a groomsman stayed,” Adams told Newsweek. “They started leaving around 8:30 p....
