With nearer Brandon Morrow already down, and Pedro Strop happening the injured listing Wednesday with a hamstring damage, Cubs supervisor Joe Maddon referred to as his nearer state of affairs “the wild, wild west.” It solely acquired wilder when Kyle Ryan gave up the leadoff hit within the ninth and veteran Steve Cishek finally blowing the save after one other single, a wild pitch and run-scoring grounder. It was the second blown save of the week and sixth in 12 probabilities this season for a bullpen that has principally carried out effectively — even appeared to overachieve at instances — for a Cubs crew in a three-way scrum jockeying this week for the highest spot within the National

Jason McCourty’s Safety Debut An Unexpected Twist In Patriots Preseason
by Zack Cox on Sat, Aug 25, 2018 at 1:08AM If Jason McCourty can’t crack the New England Patriots’ 53-man roster as a cornerback, perhaps he’ll be able to do so as a safety. The veteran defensive back played both positions during Friday night’s 25-14 preseason loss to the Carolina Panthers, switching from his natural corner spot to free safety late in the first half. It was the first time McCourty ever had played safety in a game at any level, he told reporters after th... NESN.com
Why Jason Whitlock Believes 2018 Season Could Be Bill Belichick’s Last With Patriots
Many have tried to speculate when Bill Belichick’s tenure as head coach of the New England Patriots will come to an end. Jason Whitlock believes it could be sooner than you think. During Wednesday’s edition of “Speak for Yourself” on FOX Sports 1, hosts Whitlock and Colin Cowherd both agreed that Belichick canceling the Patriots’ last two days of OTAs was a big deal. Whitlock took the take to the next level, though, suggesting the upcoming season could be Belichick’s last in New England. Here’s Whitlock’s reasoning: Everyone has to call it quits at some point, and both Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady aren’t getting any yo... NESN.com
Giancarlo Stanton Smashes Homer, Mocks Jason Grilli One Day After Game-Ending K
Giancarlo Stanton struck out to end the Miami Marlins’ game against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday, but he made sure it wasn’t the same story for the series finale. Rangers reliever Jason Grilli got Stanton to swing at an 82-mph slider Tuesday to seal the Rangers 10-4 win and celebrated with some pretty emphatic fist pumping. The Marlins outfielder wouldn’t be outdone, though, as he launched a towering solo shot — StatCast measured it at 468 feet — off Grilli in the eighth inning of Wednesday’s contest and took a moment to mock the 40-year-old right-hander’s celebration. The homer was Stanton’s 33rd of the year and his 12th(!) in July.NESN.com
How Jason Heyward’s Rain-Delay Speech Made Cubs World Series Champions
Jason Heyward might have earned every penny of his $ 184 million contract with one speech Wednesday night. Rajai Davis’ two-run homer shockingly tied Game 7 of the World Series for the Cleveland Indians in the eighth inning, and Heyward’s Chicago Cubs entered the 17-minute rain delay that preceded extra innings possibly feeling sorry for themselves. That’s when Heyward stepped forward and rallied his teammates. “That was the best thing for us,” Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant told FOX Sports on the field after the game. “I mean, we all got together in the weight room, and, you know, we all supported each other. … Jason Heyward led the...

Cowboys Cheerleader Melissa Kellerman Forced Off Twitter After Joking About Jason Witten’s Accidental Tackle
The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders are perhaps the most recognizable squad in the league, so when one cheerleader was forced to cancel her Twitter account, it generated some buzz. Even more perplexing, though, is the reasoning behind the organization requesting that Melissa Kellerman cancel her account. During the Cowboys-Dolphins game on Thanksgiving, tight end Jason Witten was pushed out of bounds, at which point he knocked over 22-year-old cheerleader. On Friday morning, Kellerman posted two seemingly harmless tweets about the incident. She tweeted: "Not hurtin' today, like some of y'all thought I would be! Our TE isn't as tough as he looks... That or I'm WAY tougher than I look. ;)" And then: "I'm not the best at Jason Witten trust falls. ;)" Neither of the tweets seemed offensive
