If you’ve just started watching the New York Yankees in the postseason, you may have seen the players showing thumbs down after good plays, hits, and home runs. So why are the Yankees doing that?

Longtime NFL television announcer Al Michaels was forced to profusely apologize after he made an on-air joke about accused Hollywood sexual predator Harvey Weinstein on Sunday night.

The race-baiting puppeteers who have been pulling the strings of their poodle-haired dupe Colin Kaepernick have been doing the man no favors when it comes to salvaging any last vestiges of his once-promising NFL career. The Green Bay Packers who only days ago were thought of as a Super Bowl contender until superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a likely season-ending ...

The best cure for the offensively struggling New York Yankees was a return to the Bronx where the bombers were unleashed on Monday night. Following a pair of 2-1 losses to the Houston Astros, the Yankees faced a must-win game three if they hoped to climb back into the American League Championship Series and cut the Astros lead in half.

A coast-to-coast trip and ...

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews made headlines when earlier in the week he said that he would sooner quit the NFL rather than be forced to stand for the national anthem.

The Minnesota Vikings beat the Green Bay Packers Sunday in a scrappy all-around game. The Vikings’ 23-10 win was their second straight in the division. The Packers lost Aaron Rodgers to a broken right collarbone in the first quarter, when Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr knocked him to the ground after Rodgers threw a pass to Martellus Bennett. The Packers have suffered ...

The Houston Astros took the first two games of the American League Championship Series from the New York Yankees by identical 2-1 scores. The potent Yankees lineup has been stifled by great Houston pitching and on Saturday, Justin Verlander pitched a complete game, striking out thirteen.

The reigning NCAA football champion Clemson Tigers are going to need a lot of luck if they are to defend their title come January 2018.
