Connected media - Connected media There were streakers, kissers and wannabe prize fighters. There were arrests, threats and flying chairs. There were bruises, there was blood and there was beer. So, so much beer. There was plenty of blame to pass around: the fans, the umpires, the team officials, the managers, local broadcasters and radio hosts. Oh, and according to one Cleveland resident, the real instigator causing that evening’s mayhem? The moon. And that’s not a reference to the fans who yanked down their pants and showed Rangers players their backsides. Fifty years ago, chaos descended upon Municipal Stadium on…

More than five hours after we arrived at Yankee Stadium, my 9-year-old son Wes had waited in line for an hour in a rainstorm, picked up his coveted (replica) 1998 Yankees World Series ring, and he talked me into buying him a T-shirt, visited the Gluten Free Grill twice, mourned Jasson Domínguez’s season-ending injury, cheered Aaron Judge so loudly his voice was getting hoarse, and brushed off every single mention I made of Corbin Burnes, the starter for the Milwaukee…

Chelsea liked him. They thought he had a good chance of making it. For such a tall kid, Aggrey had quick, skilful feet. His future was bright at a time, in 1995, when Chelsea were re-establishing themselves among the most glamorous football clubs in England. “When I joined Chelsea, Glenn Hoddle was the first-team manager,” says Aggrey. “Ruud Gullit arrived later. The…

Elliott knew Stenhouse had been fined for throwing a punch at Kyle Busch, but the 2020 Cup Series champion didn’t know the exact amount before being informed during a news conference Friday at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the site of the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday. Stenhouse was fined $75,000, the largest fine issued in NASCAR history for…

Linked media - Associated media “One of the hallmarks of the job is that you get compensated for your services,” said Matthew Mitten, a law professor at Marquette University and executive director of the National Sports Law Institute. But the deal, by itself, is unlikely to bring about a radical push toward unionization in college athletics. Dartmouth is a small private school in New Hampshire, which has pro-union laws. Many football powerhouses, such as the University of Alabama and the University of Georgia, are located in right-to-work states, where unionization efforts face stiff legal and political hurdles.

Linked media - Linked media When he was a cocksure 25-year-old, on the fast track to officiating big-time college basketball, Scott Foster was summoned for a sit-down with his dad. They met at a bar, and his father, Dickie, brought along a family friend with experience in high-level sports. They were concerned about Foster, who was mulling a daring career move. It was 1992, and he had been offered a job in the Continental Basketball Association, then a training ground for the NBA, making $95 a game. But to do so, he would have to forgo his schedule — and…
