The rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees ramped up a notch Wednesday night, when the benches cleared twice, including a brawl featuring Red Sox reliever Joe Kelly and Yankees designated hitter Tyler Austin. Austin was at the center of an incident in the second inning when he slid into second base with his cleats up and hit Red Sox shortstop Brock Holt, inciting a minor fracas. After Austin took a Kelly fastball to the ribs in the seventh inning, he slammed his bat to the ground and charged the mound, as the two players exchanged a number of punches in the skirmish. After the game, Yankees manager Aaron Boone had

Lakers’ Andre Ingram Enjoys Dream NBA Debut After 10 Years In G League

Rex Ryan Relives ‘Butt Fumble’ Play, Recognizes It Will Always Live On
The magnitude of the infamous New York Jets “butt fumble” against the New England Patriots five is not lost on then-head coach Rex Ryan. In celebration (if you can call it that) of the anniversary of the play, ESPN compiled an oral history of the ordeal, including the perspective of Ryan. While that moment came in what Ryan cites to be the worst quarter of his coaching career, he never thought the play would resonate as much as it has. “You sit back, you probably have a drink or two and then you’re like, ‘Flush that one away and get on to the next game,'” Ryan told ESPN. “At the time, I never realized it

The Boston Celtics expected to have a three-headed monster entering the 2017-18 NBA campaign. And while the injury to Gordon Hayward altered that outlook, Thursday night showed the Celtics’ dynamic duo still is plenty lethal. Kyrie Irving and Al Horford always were going to need some time to develop chemistry, but it appears the two stars are well ahead of schedule after they combined for 51 points in the C’s 96-89 win over the Milwaukee Bucks at BMO Bradley Center. For the first time this season, Irving looked like the “Uncle Drew” from Cleveland, as he showed a variety of offensive moves, including a devastating crossover on Giannis Antetoko... NESN.com
