Another year, another terrible injury for Tony Romo. The Dallas Cowboys confirmed their starting quarterback broke a bone in his back during Thursday’s preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks, and multiple reports are citing Romo’s timetable as a minimum six to ten week recovery period. Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett insisted in a conference call with media members that Romo was “day to day,” according to NFL.com, but NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport and Pro Football Talk were among those reporting that was unlikely. Romo has broken bones in his back before (and missed 12 games last season with two separate injuries to his left col... NESN.com

Hanley Ramirez Injures Left Wrist; Update Reportedly Coming Wednesday
Share this: The bad news kept coming for the Boston Red Sox late Tuesday night. After the Seattle Mariners came back to beat the Sox in a dramatic 5-4 win, first baseman Hanley Ramirez slipped down the dugout stairs and injured his left wrist. He later was seen on a cart heading for tests by reporters, and manager John Farrell gave an update on the freak accident afterward. “After the game, he was walking down the dugout — there’s two or three steps at the bottom of the dugout coming into the clubhouse — and lost his footing,” Farrell said. “He caught himself behind and jammed his left wrist. So, precautionary, just going to see what’s going on there.” There’s no word on the
Nationals Reportedly Land Closer Mark Melancon In Trade With Pirates
Share this: The Washington Nationals reportedly have made a significant move to upgrade their bullpen. The Nationals have acquired closer Mark Melancon from the Pittsburgh Pirates in a multi-player trade, FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal reported Saturday, citing sources. Washington will send relief pitcher Felipe Rivero and left-handed pitching prospect Taylor Hearn to Pittsburgh in return, according to MLB Network insider Jon Heyman. Melancon has developed into one of Major League Baseball’s top closers over the past few seasons. He saved an MLB-best 51 games in 53 opportunities for the Pirates last season and entered Saturday with 30 saves in 2016 to go along with a 1.51 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP. That’s good news for the Nationals, who have gotten inconsistent results from current
Patriots’ Handling Of Deflategate Reportedly Turned Entire NFL Against Them
Share this: To say the whole Deflategate situation hasn’t been kind to the New England Patriots would be a massive understatement. After the NFL shockingly handed Tom Brady a four-game suspension back in May 2015, the Patriots fought tooth and nail to try to get that ruling overturned and bring justice to their quarterback. That effort obviously failed, but in a recent article for SI.com, columnist Greg Bedard revealed that New England’s steadfast support of Brady did not go over well with the rest of the league. From Bedard’s column: “Even if Patriots owner Robert Kraft wanted to seek retribution and lead an ouster of (NFL commissioner Roger) Goodell… it’s not going to happen. NFL owners agreed to the rules and also that the
Nyquist Reportedly Won’t Compete In Belmont Stakes After Preakness Loss
Nyquist wasn’t able to continue his triple crown run after losing to Exaggerator in last weekend’s Preakness Stakes, and he won’t compete in the sport’s last marquee race of the spring. TMZ has learned that Nyquist isn’t going to race in the Belmont Stakes, which is scheduled for June 6. He has an elevated white blood cell count, his assistant trainer told TMZ. However, the trainer also said the 2016 Kentucky Derby winner is “definitely going to race again this summer.” This news isn’t too surprising. The Belmont is the longest of the three triple crown races, and Nyquist’s lack of stamina during the last half of the Preakness sugges...
Clippers’ Austin Rivers Threw Seat Cushion, Reportedly Hit Fan (Video)
