NASCAR brings spiritual tradition to New York – Page Six
It’s rare that folks say grace at New York’s black-tie galas. But NASCAR “spiritual adviser” Billy Mauldin led the crowd in prayer over the meal at the racing org’s annual foundation gala at the Marriott Marquis after Sara Bareilles serenaded them. Guests included Jimmie Johnson, Danica Patrick, Ty Dillon, Kyle Busch, Martin Truex Jr., Rusty Wallace, Krista Voda, and Brian and Amy France. The foundation donated $1 million to the Hassenfeld…
‘FIFA 17’ marks a new beginning for the soccer franchise – Engadget
I’ve been playing FIFA since its first title launched on Super Nintendo, when characters on the screen looked like nothing more than colorful stick figures. Nowadays, thanks to the power of modern gaming consoles, the visuals and gameplay are as close to the real thing as it gets. So much so, in fact, that oftentimes when FIFA is on my TV someone asks, “What game are you watching?” FIFA 17,…
Baseball’s hiring practices remain work in progress – FOXSports.com
No one should be upset that Derek Falvey is only 33. Theo Epstein and Jon Daniels became general managers at 28, and even if the Twins give Falvey the fancier title of president of baseball operations, he essentially will act as a GM. Yet, some in the industry are bothered by the Twins’ pending hiring of Falvey, which — while not yet official — is the worst-kept secret in baseball….

Watch the baseball legend of Tim Tebow grow on very first pitch – New York Post
MIAMI — Nobody has seen Tim Tebow and Roy Hobbs in the same room together, so there is always the possibility they are one in the same. Tebow’s imitation of “The Natural” came Wednesday in Port St. Lucie, where he blasted an opposite-field home run on the first pitch he saw in a Mets instructional league game. Tebow, 29, was playing in his first competitive game since his junior year…
How Israel made major progress at World Baseball Classic qualifying – ESPN
7:08 AM ET Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email print comment NEW YORK — It has been said that baseball is religion, and this belief might be especially true after what occurred at MCU Park in Brooklyn this past weekend. Team Israel clinched its first berth in the World Baseball Classic by sweeping three games at a qualifying tournament, beating out Great Britain, Brazil and Pakistan to earn the last spot in…
QPR manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink asked for £55k to act for sports company that proposed selling players to his … – Telegraph.co.uk
On Sept 7 he met the reporter and Mr McGarvey – who was not aware of the reporter’s true identity – at The Botanist bar in Sloane Square, west London. After a discussion about how many days he would need to be away from the UK on each trip to Singapore, he said: “It depends what the cheque says, you know? It just depends what has to be done, but…
As long as greed governs global sport, corruption will be endemic – The Guardian
Where there’s brass there’s muck, and where there’s muck there is usually a rake. The Daily Telegraph’s exposure of England’s football boss, Sam Allardyce, was just about fair within journalism’s code of conduct. There was prima facie suspicion of wrongdoing and no other way of securing evidence. The former Football Association chairman David Bernstein when asked about corruption in football this morning kept saying that “nothing is proven”. But that…
A dreadful week for British sport – The Economist
IF THE summer of 2016 was one of British sporting triumph, the autumn is becoming one of scandal and suspicion. Britons barely had time to celebrate Team GB’s performance in Rio de Janeiro, where it finished second in the medal table in both the Olympic and Paralympic games, before receiving embarrassing news. On September 27th “Big Sam” Allardyce, the recently appointed manager of the mediocre but beloved England football team,…
E-sport offers a terrifying glimpse of the future – Telegraph.co.uk
Now, if that draws a blank for you, as it did for me, then don’t worry. But my guess is you may be older than 35 and not into your gaming. COD stands for Call of Duty, the big daddy of shoot-’em-up video games. And this year’s world championships took place in Inglewood, California. Turns out Dave was leaving a party full of real live people on a sunny afternoon…

Tokyo to propose moving more venues for Olympics – USA TODAY
