Major League Baseball will not suspend Josh Hader after several old tweets resurfaced from the Milwaukee Brewers pitcher’s Twitter account during Tuesday’s All-Star Game. Hader, who posted racial and homophobic tweets when he was 17-years-old, apologized for what he said, saying it doesn’t reflect who he is as a person today. The league decided to not suspend the 24-year-old, but he will need to attend sensitivity training, as well as take part in diversity and inclusion initiatives. Hader’s Twitter account since has been deleted and Brewers general manager David Stearns issued his own statement regarding the pitcher, saying he’s b... NESN.com

NFL Rumors: Patriots’ Josh McDaniels Set For Second Interview With Colts
All signs continue to point toward Josh McDaniels becoming the next head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. McDaniels, who’s still serving as the New England Patriots’ offensive coordinator as they prepare for their Super Bowl LII showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles next Sunday, will meet with Colts owner Jim Irsay and general manager Chris Ballard on Friday, NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero reported Thursday, citing sources. As Pelissero notes, a deal can’t be finalized until after the Super Bowl, but the second interview should offer the organization an opportunity to get a head-start on its offseason planning.

Red Sox Notes: Josh Rutledge’s Glove Might Make Him Regular In Boston’s Lineup
On a night when he got the start because of his defense, Josh Rutledge made the most of his time at the plate. The Boston Red Sox third baseman got the start Saturday night against the Detroit Tigers because he is reliable with the glove, and Pablo Sandoval has struggled with routine plays this season. With Chris Sale on the mound for Boston, it seemed prudent for manager John Farrell to start Rutledge after Sandoval struggled in the field behind lefty Brian Johnson on Friday night. But while Rutledge did his job in the field during the Red Sox’s 11-3 win at Fenway Park on Saturday, he made his presence known with his

Josh McDaniels Applauds Patriots’ ‘Unique’ Unselfishness Ahead Of Super Bowl LI
by Zack Cox on Tue, Jan 24, 2017 at 4:39PM 2,230 Even with Rob Gronkowski sidelined, the New England Patriots boast arguably the deepest stable of offensive weapons in the NFL. And, one can argue, perhaps the deepest the franchise has had under head coach Bill Belichick. That means some players who might be the top dogs elsewhere are the third, fourth or fifth option in New England, which easily could lead to griping about playing time, touches and the like. It’s certainly resulted in... NESN.com
Josh Norman Plans Beer-Themed Celebration That NFL Probably Won’t Like
Josh Norman is putting away his bow and arrow in favor of some suds. The Redskins cornerback, who was penalized and fined for pretending to shoot a bow and arrow in Washington’s Week 4 win over the Cleveland Browns, revealed Thursday that he’s planning to unveil a new beer-themed celebration this Sunday against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. “Since they sell beer on TV while kids are watching it, I’m thinking I might open a keg on the field, and I’m going to drink it on the field,” Norman told USA TODAY Sports. “And I don’t see that being on the rule book.” Norman is talking about a pretend keg, of course,
