Facing a depleted San Francisco 49ers team on Thursday night, the Los Angeles Rams still came up short, 23-20 in overtime, when running back Kyren Williams was stuffed on fourth down. After the game, Rams coach Sean McVay was extremely critical of his own decision-making on the final play. Instead of kicking a field goal on 4th-and-1 at […]

It was Saturday and Jurgen Klopp essentially had a day off in New York, or at least several hours to kill. Jet lag meant he woke up at 5:30 a.m. ET, in time to react when the notifications hit his phone that RB Omiya Ardija, a team in Japan’s second division, went down 2-0 early […]

NEW YORK — Defense was supposed to be the fix. That was what the Red Sox chased all season. Last year, the team was buried — second-to-last in the majors with 115 errors.

The Nevada Supreme Court unanimously (7-0) rejected the NFL’s request to rehear its decision to allow Jon Gruden’s lawsuit against the league to proceed in public.
