Nico Rosberg’s battle with Lewis Hamilton on the way to winning the 2016 Formula One driver championship was so mentally taxing the German retired just weeks after the final race. However, the up-and-down season took its toll on Hamilton too, and David Coulthard reportedly thinks he could make a similarly dramatic exit from the sport. The former F1 driver and commentator for the U.K.’s Channel 4 told Express he thinks the Mercedes-AMG Petronas is becoming disinterested with the series, and could announce his retirement even before the season ends. “It wouldn’t take much for him to say, for want of a better word, ‘F–k it. Thank you, I’m ... NESN.com

Ray Lewis Thinks Tom Brady Still Is Motivated By Deflategate Before Super Bowl LI
Tom Brady says he’s totally over Deflategate, but is he really? The New England Patriots quarterback served his four-game suspension to begin the 2016 NFL season and claimed the situation was behind him long before the Pats made it to Super Bowl LI. But former Baltimore Ravens linebacker and two-time Super Bowl champion Ray Lewis thinks Brady is just trying to play nice with the NFL’s top brass. “It’s funny because any true competitor never lets nothing go,” Lewis said Wednesday, per FOXSports.com “Like, it’s never let go. I don’t care what nobody does to you. “I’m telling you, I’ll never forget … in the ninth grade this... NESN.com
Are Cubs Stealing Dodgers’ Signs In NLCS? Yasmani Grandal Thinks So
The 2016 National League Championship Series between the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers already was intriguing. And now, it appears there’s some gamesmanship going on. Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal said following Los Angeles’ 1-0 win in Game 2 of the NLCS on Sunday that his team knows the Cubs have been stealing signs. It wasn’t an issue in Game 2, as only one Cubs baserunner reached second base, but there apparently were points in Game 1 — like in the eighth inning when Addison Russell worked a 3-0 count against Joe Blanton with Ben Zobrist on second base — where Grandal was aware that something was up. “All the sudden, Russell is
Red Sox Notes: David Ortiz Thinks Andrew Benintendi Can Be ‘Superstar’
Share this: Things aren’t great for the Boston Red Sox in the present, but here’s a silver lining: The future looks pretty darn bright. The Red Sox’s 8-5 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday — their fourth defeat in six games — overshadowed a game to remember by rookie outfielder Andrew Benintendi. Benintendi was a one-man offensive wrecking crew in just his third major league start, going 3-for-4 while recording a trio of promising firsts. The 22-year-old got things started early, driving a low fastball the other way in the third inning for his first hit and getting a great jump on Dodgers pitcher Brandon McCarthy for his first career steal. Benintendi pulled the ball in his next at-bat, lacing a two-out single
Ken Griffey Jr. Thinks David Ortiz ‘Absolutely’ Is A Hall Of Famer
Share this: David Ortiz’s Hall of Fame chances have been a topic of debate long before the Boston Red Sox slugger announced the 2016 season would be his last, but Big Papi got an endorsement from one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Ken Griffey Jr. was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday with former New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza, but in his news conference Saturday, Griffey took a moment to talk about Ortiz. The two were part of the Seattle Mariners, who drafted Ortiz, briefly, but it was enough time for Griffey to get a good look at the future Red Sox star. “I got a chance to see him young,” Griffey said, per ESPN.com. “He
John Farrell Thinks Limiting Use Of Relievers Would ‘Artificially Control The Game’
Share this: BOSTON — Major League Baseball has been looking into plenty of ways to speed up the pace of play, but commissioner Rob Manfred’s latest suggestion might not go over so well. While pitch clocks, shortening commercial breaks and minimizing the amount of times a batter can step out of the box all have been considered or implemented, Manfred’s latest idea actually would affect how managers make pitching decisions. The commish says the league is talking about restricting the use of relief pitchers in an inning or in a game. “You know the problem with relief pitchers is that they’re so good,” Manfred said on ESPN’s “Mike & Mike” on Thursday. “I’ve got nothing against relief pitchers, but they do two things
