The Browns seem comfortable with the guys currently on the roster, after passing on Mitchell Trubisky and Deshaun Watson in the draft. They did take DeShone Kizer in the second round, but no one expects him to be the starter in Week 1. He’ll compete with Cody Kessler, Brock Osweiler and Kevin Hogan with the best player winning the job. Unfortunately, none of those guys has a particularly stacked NFL…

“I’m with you on your point, and your conclusion. This is the toughest coaching job, I think, in all of sports — but I’m going to go a level deeper. I think LeBron is the most difficult player to “coach.” And I put quotes around the coach, because I still think he is the co-head coach of this team. As much as I respect him as a player… in some…

Chelsea lost the 2008 Champions League final to Manchester United on penalties when taking them second Penalty shootouts in football could be transformed to make them fairer under new plans being looked at by Uefa. The sport’s European governing body is already trialling a new way for penalties to be taken in decisive shootouts.

A New York City man is on a mission to flush the cremated remains of his lifelong friend — a plumber — down ballpark toilets around the country. Tom McDonald tells the New York Times that it’s a fitting tribute for Roy Riegel. The two baseball fans were childhood friends in Queens, not far from — wait for it — Flushing Meadows, where the Mets play. Like baseball, this endeavor…

BOSTON (AP) — Adam Jones received extended applause from Fenway Park fans a night after he was racially taunted, both teams were warned after Boston ace Chris Sale threw behind Manny Machado’s legs in the first inning and the Red Sox went on to beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-2 Tuesday night. Machado homered out of Fenway Park for the second straight night, a seventh-inning drive, and…

Tyler Skaggs is a good major league pitcher. That’s undeniable. It remains to be seen whether he’ll be an All-Star or not, but at the very least, most people can agree that his stuff is above average. His injury, compounded with the ones to Garrett Richards, Nick Tropeano, Andrew Heaney, Cam Bedrosian, and countless others, means that the Angel pitching staff is, once again, pretty decimated. What is Tyler Skaggs?…

The Kansas City Royals are in a holding pattern right now, with rapidly depleting fuel and no relief in sight. A bad team isn’t inherently boring or unbearable to watch. If there’s a bad team with direction, then you can dream, hope. The Royals’ 2011 was fun for that reason. They were terrible, but you could see seeds being planted. The Chicago Cubs averaged an excruciating 95 losses per year…

Mike Barnabi TimesReporter.com correspondent The vast majority of middle-age and beyond baseball players can’t run, throw or field like they could in their prime. They have more aches and pains than they used to. But none of that has adversely affected their love of the game. That’s the main reason most of them are still playing, some well into their 70s. “We love the game,…

When Red Sox fans hurled peanuts and the N-word toward Orioles outfielder Adam Jones in Fenway Park, it was a reminder of the Boston’s racial legacy – particularly around its sports teams. Boston’s reputation as a racist sports town developed through decades of barriers broken and maintained, intertwined with broader struggles for progress along with today’s climate of racial tension that sports can’t avoid. Despite its teams and the city…

The Utah Jazz were supposed to give the surging Golden State Warriors some trouble. They were supposed to make things at least a bit interesting. Perhaps the Jazz will do that at some point in the next week. They certainly didn’t do it Tuesday night in Game 1 of the teams’ Western Conference semifinals series in Oakland — a 106-94 Golden State win — and the way that game played…

After the Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park on Monday night, Orioles All-Star Adam Jones said he endured a barrage of racist slurs and actions as he was manning his position in center field. “A disrespectful fan threw a bag of peanuts at me,’’ he told USA Today, “I was called the N-word a handful of times tonight. Thanks. Pretty awesome.’’ The “fan’’ who thew the bag of peanuts…

America doesn’t want for racist sports fans. And yet when an abhorrent display of racial animosity takes place in Boston — as it did Monday when Baltimore Orioles center fielder Adam Jones said he was “called the N-word a handful of times” at Fenway Park — the response is anger, but not necessarily surprise. The reasons are plenty. Jones, who also had a bag of peanuts thrown at him and…
