One QB could put himself squarely in the big-money picture next offseason, and so can a handful of young defenders who haven’t quite found their footing in the pros yet.

Longtime WFAN media personality Craig Carton is leaving the station for a lucrative contract with FS1, according to a report from Andrew Marchand of the New York Post.
The contract for Carton at FS1 will pay him seven figures, sources told Marchand.
The 54-year-old Carton returned to WFAN in 2020 after serving more than a year in prison starting in June ’19, following a conviction for fraud charges stemming from a fake ticket scam. Carton left the station following his arrest in Sept. ’17, after cohosting Boomer and Carton for more than a decade.

Fantasy baseball analyst Fred Zinkie offers up his blueprint for the final days of Week 11.

The Bradley Beal situation highlights the volatility and challenges of striking a deal with the NBA Draft and free agency on the horizon.

Phillies teammates Bryce Harper and Bryson Stott, who both were born in Las Vegas, said that the Athletics should remain in Oakland and that their hometown would be better served by an MLB expansion franchise.

The Saudi Public Investment Fund brought sportswashing to golf. If would be difficult — though perhaps not unworkable — to try it in pro football.

It seems like every week Shohei Ohtani does something that makes you say, “That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen him do.” And then he’ll go out and do something even more impressive a few days later. 
On Monday, Ohtani hit two homers against the Rangers to pass Aaron Judge for the American League lead in that category. His first left the bat at 114.1 mph and landed 459 feet away just left of dead center. Few players are able to hit a ball that far. Fewer are able to do it on a low, inside pitch. Even fewer are able to do it when it’s not a straight pull shot.

After a breakout second season with the Los Angeles Lakers, Austin Reaves has signed a shoe deal with Chinese company Rigorer. Reaves has gone from an undrafted player to a recognizable name in the NBA with his own signature shoe on the way, which is quite the accomplishment.
Shams Charania of The Athletic sat down with Reaves to discuss the shooting guard’s new shoe deal, which is expected to fetch him over seven figures.
“Honestly I’m blessed to play basketball for a living and I have to pinch myself sometimes to really understand what’s going on,” Reaves said.

Thanks for the patience this week—we’ve moved a few things back a day, so my wife and I could celebrate our 10th anniversary. And with that done, let’s get to your questions …
From ASB1216 (@ASB1216): If you had to guess this season’s offensive and defensive rookie of the year and each pick had to be players drafted outside the first round, who would you take?
Love this question, ASB, because it makes me dive a little deeper into the draft class, and I do have a couple of names for you after diving in.

PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona woman has accused former major league pitcher Trevor Bauer of sexual assault, alleging in a lawsuit updated this week that he held a knife at her throat and choked her until she passed out during a rape that left her pregnant in late 2020.

Bauer was never arrested or charged and he has countersued, denying the allegations and accusing the woman of faking a pregnancy and trying to extort money from him.
