Tony Romo dazzled NFL fans Sunday night with his performance in the broadcast booth during the AFC Championship Game between the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs. The CBS broadcaster pulled play call after play call out of his hat down the stretch, seemingly predicting nearly every play the Patriots ran correctly. The display inspired MLB super star free agent Bryce Harper to take to Twitter to comment on Romo’s wizardry in the booth. And naturally, Romo replied, with a nod to his adopted hometown team. And so it was … we guess Bryce Harper is a Ranger now. OK, maybe not. But one thing is for sure, we’re looking

MLB Rumors: Teams Looking To Sign Nathan Eovaldi As Closer, Not Starter
Nathan Eovaldi’s 2018 postseason performance likely earned him a big payday this Major League Baseball offseason. But could it be to close out games rather than start?
