Share this: Jon Jones’ and Daniel Cormier’s social media war continues to escalate. The two won’t be fighting for the light heavyweight title until July 29 at UFC 214, but the rivals have been exchanging plenty of barbs on Twitter and Instagram. Jones took the latest shot on Instagram with a weight update photo, mocking Cormier from the UFC 210 weigh-ins when he controversially held a towel prior to defeating Anthony “Rumble” Johnson to defend his belt. Some might say Jones was being a tad hypocritical with his hashtags in the caption, considering this will be his first fight following a one-year ban for a doping violation.

MLB Rumors: Giants Players Not Sold On Possible Pablo Sandoval Reunion
Share this: Pablo Sandoval might soon return to the organization with which he won three World Series titles, but it doesn’t sound like everyone is onboard with a possible reunion. Although Sandoval denied reports that surfaced Wednesday saying he agreed to a minor league contract with the Giants, the former Boston Red Sox third baseman acknowledged that a return to San Francisco is possible. That said, CSN Bay Area’s Alex Pavlovic reported Wednesday that several Giants players and employees aren’t exactly ready to welcome Kung Fu Panda back with open arms. “For two days over the weekend, I chatted with players and team employees about the possibility of Sandoval returning,” Pavlovic wrote. “I didn’t find one who was eager for the move.” The Giants obviously
Red Sox Vs. Blue Jays Lineup: Andrew Benintendi, Mitch Moreland Sit For Finale
Share this: The Boston Red Sox are coming off another win against the Toronto Blue Jays, and they’re going with a fresh lineup for Thursday afternoon’s game at Fenway Park. The series finale gets going at 1:35 p.m. ET, and a couple of Boston’s regular starters will get a break after Wednesday night’s 5-1 victory. Both left fielder Andrew Benintendi and first baseman Mitch Moreland will take a seat, putting Chris Young in front of the Green Monster, while designated hitter Hanley Ramirez takes the field. Young will bat second, and Ramirez will bat out of the cleanup spot. Young usually slots into the DH spot, so Dustin Pedroia will take over there and bat third.

Red Sox Notes: Drew Pomeranz Has Become Reliable Weapon During Impressive Streak
Share this: What first was a pleasant surprise has quietly become the expected for the Boston Red Sox. Drew Pomeranz, who once was thought to be the weak link in the Red Sox’s starting rotation, turned in another rock-solid start in Wednesday’s 5-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park. The Red Sox left-hander now has delivered nine quality starts in his last 11 outings. Pomeranz is 7-1 in those starts with a 2.57 ERA, and the Red Sox have accumulated a 9-2 record in his starts since he lasted only four innings against the Oakland Athletics on May 20. And Wednesday was no different. While Pomeranz didn’t have his best stuff, the lefty was able to work around five walks and get
Did Henry Romero Bite USA Star Jozy Altidore In Gold Cup Quarterfinal Game?
Share this: FC Barcelona star Luis Suarez is the most well-known soccer player when it comes to biting an opponent, but the world might get to know El Salvador defender Henry Romero, too. He appeared to bite United States forward Jozy Altidore in the second half of the teams’ 2017 Gold Cup quarterfinal game Wednesday night at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. To the surprise of everyone watching, Romero was not given a straight red card for his actions. Romero had already been given a yellow card for a poor challenge in the 18th minute. He easily could have been shown five or six yellows for his reckless play throughout the game. CONCACAF might also take a further look at the incident and consider if
Oklahoma State Punter Creates Hilarious ’90s-Style Website For Heisman Campaign
Share this: Oklahoma State’s Zach Sinor wants to be the first punter to win the Heisman Trophy, and he has a pretty awesome website to make his case. Sinor certainly has accomplished a lot in just two seasons with the Cowboys, finishing his sophomore season as the nation’s leader in percentage of punts downed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line (62.5 percent), number of punts downed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line (35) and opponents’ starting field position. But if that wasn’t enough to convince you he’s the best player in college football — it probably wasn’t — then just check out some of his 1990s-inspired website. Sinor was born in 1995, so we’re not too sure how much of the decade he actually remembers,
