The Packers made a flawed proposal aimed at neutralizing the tush push. It nevertheless won support of half of the league.
Kalyn Kahler of ESPN.com reports that 16 teams supported Green Bay’s submission, which would have banned players from “immediately” pushing the player who receives the snap. While that number fell eight votes short of the minimum needed to change the rules, the 50-50 split confirms that the debate is very real — and that, when the owners gather again in May, it could go either way.

MIAMI — New York Mets left-hander Sean Manaea had a setback in his recovery from a right oblique strain and won’t throw for two weeks.
“He experienced some discomfort a couple of days ago when he was starting to ramp up,” manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday before a game against the Miami Marlins.
Manaea underwent imaging that showed inflammation and received a platelet-rich plasma injection on Monday.
“He’s going to go two weeks with no throwing, so we’re going to start building him back up,” Mendoza said.
Manaea didn’t pitch during spring training.

HOUSTON (AP) — Logan Webb pitched seven strong innings, Willy Adames hit a two-run double and the San Francisco Giants beat the Houston Astros 3-1 on Tuesday night.
Adames’ double down the left-field line scored Christian Koss and Patrick Bailey. Heliot Ramos later added a solo homer, his third of the year, and that was all Webb (1-0) would need. He held the Astros to just one run and five hits with six strikeouts and no walks.
Giants reliever Ryan Walker pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn his second save.
LANCASTER – The fact that the Fairfield Christian Academy baseball team only has 11 players on their varsity roster, would be of concern to some, but for the Knights, it has galvanized them as a team.
FCA, which has won the Mid-State League-Cardinal Division championship the last two years, might be small in numbers, but they are making up for it with enough talent returning, and a togetherness that should allow them to thrive.
The Knights opened their season Tuesday night in a nonconference game against Centerburg, and they were able to do all the little things it takes to win.
Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry doesn’t hold all of the NBA’s 3-point records. It just seems like he does.
On Tuesday against Memphis, Curry made a run at Klay Thompson’s NBA single-game record of 14 made 3s but fell two short of matching his former teammate in the Warriors’ 134-125 victory over the Grizzlies in an important Western Conference game.
Curry, the NBA’s all-time leader for career 3s and most 3s in a season, scored 52 points and also added 10 rebounds, eight assists and five steals. He made 16-of-31 shots from the field, including 12-of-20 3-pointers.

“We’re excited that Frank Nobilo will be in the tower at 16 this year,” CBS Sports president David Berson announced Tuesday on a Masters media Zoom call. “He is as an integral part of our team, and you can look forward to his typical great insight and analysis now also at the famed 16th hole.
