Ten years ago, Dic Donohue became what is rare in America today: a universally beloved cop.
April 2013. The nation’s eyes were on Boston, and eyes in Boston were darting around, looking for murderers. A bomb had exploded at the Boston Marathon finish line, killing 29-year-old Krystle Campbell, 23-year-old Lingzi Lu and 8-year-old Martin Richard, and injuring over 250 more. Two suspects had been named but not apprehended. The city shut down while law enforcement searched for them.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said he removed shortstop Javier Baez from Thursday night’s game after a baserunning gaffe in order to send “a message to our whole team that we’ve got to clean that up.
By now, you have heard about the historic start to the season for the Tampa Bay Rays. They are a perfect 13-0, and what’s even more incredible? They have covered the run line in 12 of those 13 wins.
Yes, eventually, some bettor will make a significant profit when the underdog pulls off the upset win vs. Tampa Bay, but here’s why we are rolling with the Rays to cover the run line one more time Friday night:
Jose Berrios.
The Yankees returned home Thursday night and proceeded to have one of their worst games of the season, as they gave up nine runs to the Twins in the first inning and went on to lose the game, 11–2.
They did make some franchise history in the ugly performance, but it wasn’t the kind of history you want to make.
Isiah Kiner-Falefa, a utility player who has played both the infield and outfield this season, came in to pitch in the ninth inning of a 10-run game. His second pitch of his first-ever appearance on the mound was the slowest pitch ever recorded by the team.
The NFL dominates television ratings with its games during the season and its made-for-television events in the offseason. And among the league’s biggest offseason events is the draft.
Well, this year the draft will get plenty of intended and unintended attention, as it is televised on NFL Network, ABC, ESPN and ESPN Deportes. It can also be heard nationwide on Westwood One Radio, SiriusXM NFL Radio and ESPN Radio.
And all of it — all seven rounds over three days on April 27-29 — will be sponsored by Bud Light.
Yes, that Bud Light.

LSU’s BJ Olujari is a stand-up rush linebacker defenses covet in the 2023 NFL Draft
One of the strongest position groups in the 2023 NFL Draft is edge rusher. You’ve heard all the names at the top by now: Alabama’s Will Anderson Jr., Texas Tech’s Tyree Wilson, Clemson’s Myles Murphy, and more. But what about the tier of prospects behind them? It’s a big group with a lot of talent, and one of the most interesting players of all is LSU’s BJ Ojulari.
The second inning of the Tigers – Blue Jays game on Thursday night was none too kind to Detroit shortstop Javier Baez.
The 30-year-old was benched after not one, but two boneheaded mistakes during back-to-back at-bats.
Baez hit a rope during his first plate appearance on Thursday night and decided to admire his hit thinking that it was a home run. He was slow out of the batter’s box and only made his way to second after the ball ultimately hit the top of the wall.
Standing on second, Akil Baddoo came to the plate and lined out to center field.
While the Kentucky Derby is the most well-known horse race in the world, the Grand National race that takes place in England each year has nearly 40 more years of history and is far more dangerous. One animal rights group appears to have finally seen enough out of the Grand National and is planning a massive disruption during this weekend’s race.
The Grand National consists of nearly 40 horses running 4.3 miles and jumping 30 fences along the way. The Derby is run at just 1.25 miles at Churchill Downs each year.

Here’s what you need to know about the new Commanders owners.
Our long national nightmare is finally coming to a close: Dan Snyder’s ass is on the way out of the NFL. Months of drawn out “will he or won’t he?” regarding the sale of the Washington Commanders came to a close on Thursday with the news that a $6 billion deal had been reached to sell the Commanders to an ownership group led by Josh Harris.
This is cause for mammoth celebration across the DC metro area.
The NFL has changed dramatically over the past five years.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes went from an unknown to unstoppable. Tom Brady—finally—retired. The Bengals are an annual force. It’s a world upside down.
So how did everything change, and where is the league going? We attempted to gauge answers for both of those questions.
We wanted to look at which teams not only have found quality players in the draft over the past five seasons, but which teams have turned those talents into wins.
