Share this: There’s still a possibility that one Major League Baseball team gives Tim Tebow the chance to play out his baseball dream. But it appears that team won’t be the Boston Red Sox. Tebow held a workout Tuesday in front of scouts from 28 MLB teams, including the Red Sox. The former NFL quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner clearly has some things to work on, but he displayed impressive pop at the plate as well as some decent athleticism in the outfield. When asked Tuesday night if Boston would consider bringing on Tebow, however, Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski didn’t exactly give a ringing endorsement. “We did our due diligence,” Dombrowski said during an appearance on NESN’s “Red Sox First Pitch.” “I

Warriors Have ‘Short Window’ To Win An NBA Championship, Says David Robinson
Share this: The Golden State Warriors have a chance to make the 2016-17 NBA campaign a historic one after adding superstar forward Kevin Durant to a team that won a record 73 games last season. Forming a cohesive unit won’t be a walk in the park, though, at least according to one Hall of Famer with two championship rings. “It takes time, you look at what happened with LeBron, Wade, and Bosh. It took them a year or two to get their legs underneath them and figure things out and even then that run was relatively short,” San Antonio Spurs legend David Robinson told Complex’s Zach Frydenlund. “So if you’re able to put together a team like this, you’re generally going to have a short window because you
A suggestion: Olympic golf should have a team format
By Doug Ferguson AP Golf Writer RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — For all the praise of golf’s return to the Olympics, there was no shortage of suggestions to make it better. The easy fix is to introduce a team format. All golf leaders had to do for the Rio Games was to combine the scores of the top two players from each country to provide a team medal. There would have been 24 teams for the men and women. For the men, Sweden would have won by one shot over the Americans, and Justin Rose’s birdie putt to win the gold medal also would have given Britain the bronze medal by one shot over Spain. How’s that for an additional layer of drama? If only it
U.S. finishes Olympics with 121 total medals
By TIM REYNOLDS AP Sports Writer RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The U.S. Olympic Team made itself right at home in Rio. The British, they had a Games to savor as well. The host Brazilians got soccer gold that they craved, the Russians struggled on the heels of the exposure of a state-sponsored doping program, and the Chinese finished well below expectations. So went the medal race at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, where the Americans – with women leading the way – dominated both the gold and overall totals. The U.S. finished with 46 gold medals and 121 medals overall, its 51-total-medal margin over second-place China the largest in a non-boycotted Olympics in nearly a century. “This experience has been the dream of a lifetime
U.S. women win 6th consecutive basketball gold
By Doug Feinberg AP Basketball Writer RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Geno Auriemma and Diana Taurasi shared a long, emotional embrace. Mission accomplished. The dominant U.S. women’s basketball team did what was expected, winning a sixth consecutive Olympic gold medal and doing it in impressive fashion. In yet another rout, the U.S. dismantled Spain 101-72 on Saturday. Taurasi and the Americans played nearly flawless basketball in Rio, and were never challenged. They have won 49 consecutive games in the Olympics with only one of those decided by single digits. “It’s amazing isn’t it? I mean when you think, that’s 20 years of 20 years,” Auriemma said. “You know the first one was 96 and here we are 2016. It’s mindboggling when you think about it
