The Yankees have come up short in their past five trips to the ALCS.

Troy Aikman was wildly unimpressed by the Dallas Cowboys’ performance against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. 
Dallas was thumped, 47-9, at home in the Week 6 match-up. Across the board, the Cowboys played badly. But Aikman had strong words, specifically, for the team’s receiving corps.
“I think they run terrible routes,” the three-time Super Bowl champion said on Dallas’ 96.7 The Ticket on Thursday. “And I’ve thought that beyond this year. I think CeeDee has got to improve in his route running.

ESPN fired Sam Ponder in August, citing “budget cuts.” We remain skeptical.
Ponder was the network’s lead NFL studio host. Yet ESPN fired her three weeks before the start of the NFL season. Secondly, Ponder had become the network’s only female talent to speak out against transgenderism in women’s sports, a non-grata topic at the Disney-owned media operation.

With the Yankees, Mets, Dodgers and Guardians on center stage this week, we build each team’s case to land Soto.

The Yankees’ biggest bats have all already homered in the series heading into Game 3.

Regardless of how those two title fights play out, however, Norris already views the 2024 season as a “year to be proud of.

Baltimore police issued an arrest warrant for John Callis in connection with a brutal attack on Washington Commanders fans.
The internet and police have been hunting for the man wearing a Lamar Jackson jersey who brutally and savagely attacked two Washington fans Sunday. The man in the video knocked one of the men out for literally no reason at all.
Now, police have formally identified John Callis as the suspect after an investigation was sparked earlier in the week, and he’s a wanted man.

The World Series is just a week away, and it could be between two New York City teams. With that in mind, Derek Jeter is reviving memories from the 2000 Subway Series between the Yankees and the Mets.
During Wednesday’s pre-game coverage, the former Yankees captain told a story about the time he clowned on Jerry Seinfeld, a known Mets fan, and he used the Baha Men to do it.
Yes, the Baha Men. There’s a group you haven’t thought about in 20 years.
Anyway, it all started during Game 4 of that 2000 World Series.
“I’m leading off the game,” Jeter recalled.
