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…

BASEBALL BOSTON (AP) The Boston Red Sox permanently banned from Fenway Park a man they said used a racial slur toward another fan, a separate confrontation from the insults directed at Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones a night earlier but one the team says it is taking just as seriously. One night after Jones spoke out about being called the N-word by a fan in the Fenway stands, rekindling the…

Matt Shepard(Photo: iHeartRadio) For being such a great sports town — Chris Ilitch on Wednesday called Detroit the greatest sports city in America — it’s pretty remarkable this market can’t support more than one all-local, sports-talk radio station. Well, the truth is, it probably can, but the powers-that-be who’ve taken a stab at creating competition for 97.1 The Ticket have done a ridiculously poor job of executing a game plan….

(AP Photo / Michael Dwyer) This week Baltimore Orioles All-Star outfielder Adam Jones spoke candidly about the racism he faced in Fenway Park. On Monday, a group of “fans” shouted at him from the outfield stands, calling him “n—–.” One threw a bag…

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…

“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.

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…

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…
