Dellin Betances Chose A Bad Time To Unravel
There are few safer bets for a bullpen than Dellin Betances—which makes sense, seeing as how he strikes out more than 40 percent of the batters he faces. So when the Yankees handed Betances a 5-2 lead in the ninth inning of Thursday’s game against the Red Sox, a win seemed all but guaranteed....

The Giants Are Already Needling Josh Norman
Despite the fact that the Josh Norman-Odell Beckham Jr. matchup last season got out of hand and downright dangerous, cornerback/receiver feuds are rare and delightful, and though Washington and New York don’t play until Week 3, the Giants are doing everything they can to shade Norman and hype up the...
Yasiel Puig Tosses Ball To Fan, Knocks Her Tooth Out

Terrance Williams Said He Knew What He Was Doing, He Just Shouldn't Have Done it
To the benefit of us all, the Giants and Cowboys are building a nice little tradition of ending their Week 1 matchups with staggering displays of situational unawareness. Yesterday’s lowlight reel participant: WR Terrance Williams, who cut back upfield on the game’s final play rather than get out of...
The Jets Dragged Andy Dalton All Over The Field And Still Couldn't Win
By the end of today’s game, Andy Dalton and the turf were close pals. The New York Jets’ defense sacked the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback seven times, the most in one game in Dalton’s career. Despite that, he still tore up the opposing coverage as the Bengals won, 23-22....
