After Impressive Patriots Win in Week 1, Dolphins Get Embarrassed By Bills in Week 2 The new-look Dolphins played like the same-old Dolphins Sunday. And the Bills sent them home with a familiar parting gift, a 29-10 drubbing that was as demoralizing as it was familiar. The loss is Miami’s third game in a row […]

The Marlins’ 24-year-old slugger said Tuesday he’s already looking forward to getting another chance in next year’s Derby at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, baseball’s most prolific launching pad for home runs. “I was already […]

So much for the upstarts crashing the World Cup party. For the first 3 1/2 weeks of the tournament, chaos reigned. Defending champion Spain was out after the second game in the group stage.
