Rafael Devers Working To Become ‘Superstar Third Baseman’ For Red Sox
Share this: Rafael Devers hasn’t made his Major League Baseball debut yet, but he said he’s already putting in major league work. The 20-year-old third baseman got the call up to the Boston Red Sox on Sunday after just nine games with Triple-A Pawtucket, and he’s anxious to get on the field.

Ford Mustang GT Gets More Muscle To Match Aggressive Styling Tweaks
Share this: If you want a fast Ford Mustang, but can’t shell out more than $50,000 for the Shelby GT350, you’re in luck. The entire next-generation Mustang range looks set to be the best-looking and most capable yet. Ford revealed Monday that it has squeezed more performance from both the Mustang GT’s V-8 and Mustang EcoBoost’s in-line-four ahead of the 2018 model year, dropping their zero to 60 mph times to below four and five seconds, respectively.

The GT will have 25 horsepower and 20 foot-pounds of torque more than the current model, giving it an output of
Jamie McMurray Proves NASCAR Drivers Are Athletes, Once And For All
Share this: The notion that NASCAR drivers should be considered “real” athletes often is met with a chorus of laughter — which is extremely unfair. Don’t believe us? Let Chip Ganassi Racing driver Jamie McMurray hit you with some truth: From a logistical and competitive standpoint, a NASCAR race and a cycling race have virtually nothing in common. But as McMurray shows here, the physical tolls these events take on the human body are eerily similar. Temperature and heart-rate statistics aren’t the only evidence you need to know that NASCAR is filled with great athletes. Jimmie Johnson, like McMurray, is a hardcore cyclist, and Danica Patrick perhaps is the most fit driver in the sport. And these two, like every NASCAR driver, need to stay
Stephen A. Smith Claims LeBron James ‘Tempted to Beat’ Kyrie Irving’s ‘Ass’

Well, Stephen A. Smith said Monday on the “Stephen A. Smith Show” podcast that, citing sources close to James’ camp, “if Kyrie Irving was in front of LeBron James right now, LeBron James would be tempted to beat his ass.” Smith added: “Let me explain why. I want to make sure this is in context. LeBron James’ beef with Kyrie has
