The electric right fielder was one of the keys to the Red Sox success in 2016 and is excited that he won’t have to face newly acquired left-hander Chris Sale anymore. “Facing him you know what he brings,” Betts told NESN’s Tom Caron on Saturday at Red Sox’s “Baseball Winter Weekend” at Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Mashantucket, Conn. “You know when he’s on your team, you are happy you don’t have to face him.

Draymond Green Reverts To His Old Ways, Kicks James Harden In The Face
Share this: Draymond Green is at it again. In double overtime of Thursday night’s matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets, Green went up for a layup, and on his way down his foot just so happened to find James Harden’s face. Green was penalized with a flagrant one foul, and to add insult to injury, the Warriors lost 132-127. Dirty plays aren’t exactly new for Green. Fans remember his now-infamous kick to Steven Adams’ groin in the 2016 playoffs, as well as his shoving match with LeBron James, which earned him a suspension for Game 5 of last season’s NBA Finals. In fact, Green’s kick of Harden may have been his way of making up for a missed opportunity. In Game 4 of the Warriors’ first-round matchup

USOC boss says Lochte, fellow swimmers will face discipline
U.S. Olympic Committee CEO Scott Blackmun says further action is coming in the matter of 12-time swimming medalist Ryan Lochte and his three U.S. teammates whose story of a robbery overshadowed the Rio de Janeiro Games. Blackmun offered no details on what disciplinary action may be coming, but he made no effort to hide his frustration with the matter. “They let down our athletes,” Blackmun said. “They let down Americans.” Lochte said he over-exaggerated what happened at a Rio de Janeiro gas station and acknowledged it was his “immature behavior” that got him and three teammates into a mess that consumed the final days of the Olympics.RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - AUGUST 10: Ryan Lochte of the United States competes in the

Aqib Talib: Tom Brady Is Toughest Quarterback To Face In Playoffs
Aqib Talib hasn’t lost any respect for his former quarterback since joining the Denver Broncos. The former Patriots cornerback helped his team earn a 23-16 win Sunday over the Pittsburgh Steelers in their AFC Divisional Playoff, giving the Broncos a chance to host New England in Denver for the AFC Championship Game. And Talib knows his next task won’t be easy. Because even though the Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, Talib told NFL Network’s James Palmer that Tom Brady is better. Much better. Roethlisberger didn’t throw into the end zone Sunday, but he did manage to amass 339 yards on 24-of-37 pa...
