You shouldn’t throw things at people. It’s just not very nice. But some fan in the outfield bleachers at Rogers Centre on Tuesday during the Toronto Blue Jays-Baltimore Orioles American League Wild Card Game apparently didn’t know that. As Orioles left fielder Hyun-Soo Kim went to catch a fly ball for the third out in the bottom of the seventh inning, someone threw a beer can onto the field, and it came dangerously close to hitting him. As Yahoo! Sports’ Jeff Passan pointed out, Blue Jays fans have a bit of history when it comes to throwing beer at Orioles players. Thumbnail photo via Nick Turchiaro/USA TODAY Sports Images< ...

European Ryder Cup Team Challenges Heckler To Make Putt; He Answers In Big Way
Share this: Is it too late to add Dave Johnson to Team USA’s Ryder Cup squad? There’s no chance you know who Dave Johnson is — well, you might know a Dave Johnson, but not this guy — but he should be the next American hero. Johnson stole the show at the Ryder Cup on Thursday, one day before the actual international golf tournament got under way. The (presumably) American golf fan was taking in a practice round at Hazeltine National Golf Club where the Europeans were putting on one of the greens. Apparently Johnson was heckling the Euros (specifically Rory McIlroy, according to tweets), and the Europeans didn’t take too kindly to his jeers. So, they challenged Johnson to make the putt. Johnson made
Sam Gagner’s Nifty Shootout Goal Lifts Blue Jackets Over Bruins In Preseason Ope…
Share this: The Boston Bruins fought through 65 minutes of timed hockey, but it wasn’t enough to come away from Monday’s preseason opener with a victory. Boston lost to the Columbus Blue Jackets in a shootout, 3-2, after Sam Gagner’s nifty goal ended things following a scoreless five-minute overtime period. Despite never leading in the game, Boston didn’t find itself playing catch-up for too long, either. After a scoreless first period, Columbus found the net just 2:34 into the second period when Sonny Milano scored a power play goal to give his team a 1-0 advantage. It didn’t take Boston long to answer, though, as Jimmy Hayes took a feed from Jake DeBrusk and Austin Czarnik on a rush to even the score at
Miami Police Union To Boycott If Dolphins Kneel For Patriots’ National Anthem
There’s been a growing list of NFL players protesting the national anthem this season, and not everyone is happy about it. Several Miami Dolphins players recently continued a trend started by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, as four Dolphins, led by running back Arian Foster, took a knee during the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” to protest racial inequality in America. The Dolphins plan to protest again before their Week 2 matchup against the Patriots in New England, but if they do, things could get contentious. Per the Miami Herald, local Miami police plans to stop providing escorts for players before home games until the ... NESN.com
Chris Long: ‘I Support My Peers In Exercising Their Right To Protest’
Share this: New England Patriots safety Devin McCourty and tight end Martellus Bennett made a statement following the national anthem Sunday night by raising their fists following its conclusion. The silent protest comes on the heels of controversy sparked by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s decision not to stand for the national anthem before games. Patriots defensive end Chris Long gave a long, thoughtful answer to a question on the topic Tuesday on ESPN Radio’s “Rusillo and Kanell” that’s worth reading or hearing. Here’s the full quote. “I’ve had a lot of thoughts about it. It’s hard, because you want to talk to the media. You want to say something about it, but as you know with the media, it’s a long conversation, and if
