Drew Brees on 0-3 start: At some point it turns and other top stories.

  • Drew Brees on 0-3 start: At some point it turns

    APThe Saints kept Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones in check on Monday night as Jones had just one catch for 16 yards. There wasn’t much other good news for them to report, however. The Falcons ran wild on the ground, avoided turnovers and benefitted from three by the Saints in a 45-32 win that dropped the Saints to 0-3 on the season. The issues that plagued them in the Superdome on Monday were similar to the ones that dogged them in the first two weeks, but quarterback Drew Brees didn’t sound..

  • Why the Heat waiving Chris Bosh would be the best thing for both parties

    Why the Heat waiving Chris Bosh would be the best thing for both parties
    On Monday, Pat Riley told the media that he believes Chris Bosh’s career with the Miami Heat may be over. The Heat won’t clear Bosh for basketball activities due to continued concerns with blood clots. Given that a blood clot threatened Bosh’s life in 2015 and ended his season prematurely for the second straight season last spring, the Heat’s position is wholly reasonable and defensible. The Heat absolutely should not clear Bosh medically unless they feel it is safe for him to play. Yet, Bosh i..

    Stanton's grace in face of grief lifts Marlins
    MIAMI -- Giancarlo Stanton hails from the "Show, don't tell" school of baseball leadership. When a hitter stands 6-foot-6 and 245 pounds, dominates the Home Run Derby, dents scoreboards with regularity and induces panic attacks while he's standing in the on-deck circle, it borders on overkill to speak in a commanding tone of voice.Stanton has a $325 million contract and three All-Star Games on his rĂŠsumĂŠ, so the laid-back Southern California style suits him well. His approach to baseball and l..
