During Sunday night’s game between the Astros and Yankees, a Houston fan attempted to catch a fly ball, which then messed up New York’s chance to catch an out.
However, the fan interference gave Astros’ Yordan Alvarez an automatic out. This caused a mixed reaction from the crowd around the fan.
ESPN tracked down the fan during the game, and the fan gave the ultimate interview. Fans couldn’t get enough of him.
“I just wanted to make the moment special for him,” the fan, who went to the game with his son, explained.
The Giants signed quarterback Daniel Jones to a four-year, $160 million extension back in March, but now the team is restructuring the starter’s salary to open up cap space.
With the restructure, $8.42 million of Jones’s contract will be turned into a signing bonus, per ESPN’s Field Yates. This opens up about $6.315 million in cap space.
Jones’s original cap hit was $21.8 million, but now it will be $15.4 million during the 2023 season.
This decision will likely give the Giants more freedom to explore potential outside signings during the season, which begins this weekend.
Can Duke pull off an upset as a double-digit home underdog?
The Colorado Buffaloes headed into their matchup against the TCU Horned Frogs as underdogs, seeing as TCU is ranked No. 17, and played in the National Championship game last season. But Deion Sanders seems to have injected some drive in Colorado, and it resulted in a big upset on Saturday. Colorado came away with a win 45-42, and while many are calling this a big win for Coach Prime, Craig Carton wonders if we aren’t overreacting bit to this win. He asks Greg Jennings and Antonio Cromartie whether they expect Colorado to come out on top when they face the Nebraska Cornhuskers next week.
Craig Carton is joined by Greg Jennings, Antonio Cromartie and David Jacoby to celebrate the return of football! Week 1 starts Thursday night, with the Detroit Lions traveling to Kansas City to take on the Super Bowl Champion Chiefs. Greg tells the crew why he wouldn’t be shocked to see Dan Campbell’s team come out on top vs. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, as they’re hinted at being pretty strong competitors. Craig shares his predictions as well, and the crew decide who will get the first win of the season.
The Lionel Messi effect: An MLS game … at World Cup final prices. But as ever, the fans got their money’s worth.
Welcome to a Labor Day edition of MMPS — where all is right with the world. Kyle Larson is back on top of NASCAR, Bubba Wallace is mentally weak and Ryan Blaney is angry as all get-out.
After months of Chris Buescher weirdly winning every other week and Chase Elliott being a bum, order is somewhat restored in the NASCAR world. And right in time for the playoffs, too!
OK, fine. I’m being a bit dramatic. Bubba Wallace actually ran a good race last night, but he was called out pretty viciously this past week.
The stage is set. A week after Zach Johnson made his six captain’s picks for the U.S. Ryder Cup team, European captain Luke Donald followed suit on Monday morning to round out his 12-man squad ahead of this year’s event at Marco Simone in Rome, Italy.
The European team’s automatic qualifiers are as follows: Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Viktor Hovland, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Tyrrell Hatton, and Robert MacIntyre. It’s an incredibly strong group of six that should make for some epic battles with the American top six later this month.
It’s always enticing when the idea of two or three NBA superstars teaming up gets tossed around. But more often than not, it’s either unrealistic, nearly impossible, or highly improbable. Prior to the Celtics signing Jaylen Brown to a record five-year, $304 million contract extension, they could have been a potential landing spot for Damian Lillard.
But after Brown’s new contract? The outlook on a possible Lillard trade went from very unlikely to almost impossible.
