Yankees manager Aaron Boone made the most of his AL-leading sixth ejection this season, launching into a theatrical display that included a mocking imitation of umpire Laz Diaz.

Former NFL player Ziggy Hood is currently an assistant football coach and biology teacher at Palo Duro High School in Texas. While his 10-season, 142-game career in the NFL is quite the accomplishment it doesn’t compare to what he recently managed to help stop at his post-football job.
Hood recently spoke with MyHighPlains.com about how he noticed that a student was struggling a bit. He went over and talked with him in hopes of mentoring the young man and would soon discover the student was potentially planning a school shooting.
Amid a Kylian Mbappé transfer saga that has consumed the club in chaos, PSG appears to have another disgruntled star looking to leave the French capital.
On Monday, French newspaper L’Équipe reported that Brazilian superstar Neymar has submitted a transfer request to the PSG board just days before the start of the Ligue 1 season.
The 31-year-old forward featured as recently as Thursday in South Korea in the club’s preseason tour of Asia, which made more headlines for the absence of Mbappé than for the tour itself.
The quarterback position is the most important in the world of professional football. He has the ball in his hand on the majority of offensive snaps, and his knowledge, skill set and decision-making ultimately determine how an offense will perform. That also means he’s integral in the production of points for our fantasy teams.
As a result, it makes sense for us to know his tendencies.
What position does he target most in the pass attack? Does he take chances downfield? The answers are important to his draft value and of the value of the players around him.

Offseason Moves
The Las Vegas Raiders made a big decision towards the end of last season to move on from quarterback Derek Carr.
So, it’s going to be Sam Howell for the Washington Commanders.
What seemed like a backup plan when last season ended, then became became a plan more and more people accepted before free agency and the draft, and looked like the plan that was actually going to be the path during the offseason program and camps, is now nearly sealed.
The Washington Commanders’ starting quarterback job is Howell’s to lose. This according to multiple NFL sources both in and outside Washington.
The Bengals’ coaches will tell anyone who’ll listen that their receiver room is unique. And, yes, they are talking about how Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd can tie defenses into a pretzel and give coaches headaches trying to figure out how they can get unknotted.
But it’s more than just the otherworldly collection of talent on display at every practice in July and August, the same way it is on the field in the fall.
OutKick’s Clay Travis and Tomi Lahren joined Sean Hannity to discuss the U.S. women’s national team’s jaw-dropping exit from the Women’s World Cup.
The disappointing exit in the Round of 16 capped a contentious World Cup for the U.S. women’s team. This year’s stunted World Cup run was an all-time collapse for USWNT stars like Megan Rapinoe.
Rapinoe and USWNT teammates took ridiculous stances to challenge norms heading into the 2023 World Cup.
Rodney Thomas, the dad of Indianapolis Colts safety Rodney Thomas II, was charged with killing a bald eagle with an air rifle in May. He’s since been appointed a federal public defender, which means American taxpayers are on the hook for covering the legal fees surrounding the anti-American crime.
The 50-year-old Thomas was indicted on a misdemeanor violation of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act in July, two months after allegedly shooting and killing a bald eagle in Mt. Pleasant, Penn.
There would be nothing reasonable or rational about California and Stanford joining the Atlantic Coast Conference. But these are not reasonable, rational times. These are desperate times, and this would be a desperate measure—and perhaps also a useful life raft for all involved parties.
For more than a year, the ACC has mulled various ways to escape its media-rights revenue quagmire, a deal with ESPN that has increasingly impatient member schools locked in at a discounted rate until 2036.
