LA sends Vin Scully off with extra-inning thriller
LOS ANGELES -- After 67 years, Los Angeles wasn't ready to say goodbye to Vin Scully.With the Colorado Rockies holding a 3-2 lead with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, Corey Seager, the Los Angeles Dodgers' 22-year-old shortstop, hit a home run to right field to tie the game and extend the final home game for the 88-year-old announcer one more inning.Sunday was the final game Scully will broadcast from Dodger Stadium as he nears the end of a 67-year career that began in 1950, when the..>> view originalPanthers fall to Vikings as protesters, police in riot gear look on
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- It was a tailor-made excuse, which is why the Carolina Panthers weren't clinging to it in the wake of their 22-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Yes, their city had suffered through tragedy and trauma this past week. Yes, it was unquestionably a difficult situation to watch. However, that didn't make it an explanation as to why they fell so flat in a winnable home game against a wounded opponent, at least not in their eyes. The Panthers will see plenty of errors ..>> view originalICYMI in NFL's Week 3: Rookies Wentz, Prescott stay INT-free
There's never been quite the sort of clean, composed rookie quarterbacking that Carson Wentz of the Philadelphia Eagles and Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys are producing week after week after week. Wentz, drafted No. 2 overall out of North Dakota State, is the first rookie QB since 1970 to open a season 3-0 with zero interceptions. His 102 passes without a pick are an NFL record for a first-year player. Second on that list? Prescott, a fourth-round pick from Mississippi State, with 99 ..>> view originalThe Many, Often Infuriating, Sides of Odell Beckham on Display in Giants Loss
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Odell Beckham: brilliant, historic, smart, talented. Odell Beckham: immature, ill-tempered, petty. Both of these portraits of Beckham are true. And both were on display in a neat, beautiful, ugly package against Washington on Sunday that showed as good as Beckham is, he has a lot of growing up to do. The good Beckham was the player who put the Giants on his back late in the game, finishing with seven catches for 121 yards. It wasn't enough, as Washington beat them, 29-2..>> view originalEmotional Tigers reflect on 'player's coach' Miles
BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU star running back Leonard Fournette echoed the sentiments of many of his teammates upon learning about the firing of 12th-year head coach Les Miles."At the end of the day, I love him. I just hope the best for him," the Heisman Trophy contender told reporters Sunday following a team meeting.Fournette, who missed the first 20 minutes of the impromptu meeting because of a doctor's appointment, said he spoke privately with Miles afterward.Editor's Picks"I'm going to keep that..>> view originalFor South Florida Cubans, watching Jose Fernandez pitch felt like freedom
Called my mother with the awful news Sunday morning. Had such a hard time getting out the words that she thought something terrible had happened to me.I know how much she loved Jose Fernandez. As a player. As a personality. As a symbol of strength and pride for our people. Marlins management has extinguished Mom's love for baseball one move at a time over the last two decades. Fernandez was the only thing that brought her limping back to that ballpark to climb those stairs in her old age. The on..>> view originalMcIlroy finally gets it done in FedEx Cup

Getty ImagesAfter the Seahawks finished up a 37-18 win over the 49ers that didn’t feel nearly as close as that final score, 49ers coach Chip Kelly said that he never considered replacing quarterback Blaine Gabbert with Colin Kaepernick. Kelly said he thought Gabbert “played OK” while going 14-of-25 for 119 yards and an interception while the 49ers fell behind 37-3 before Carlos Hyde ran for two scores in garbage time. Kelly may not be thinking about making a move, but Seahawks defensive end Mi..>> view originalThe force that drove Arnold Palmer
Pull up a chair, young and impressionable golf fans, because you really need to hear this. Arnold Palmer was not a nice old man who sold you a cool soft drink years after he sold your parents and grandparents motor oil and rental cars.Yes, he was about as neighborly as a worldwide celebrity could ever be. You could easily imagine him lending you his tractor or lawn mower or plowing eight inches of snow from your driveway if you happened to be away on business.

After Cleveland kicker Cody Parkey missed a would-be, game-winning field goal at the end of regulation, the Miami Dolphins (1-2) struck down an injury-riddled Browns (0-3) team 30-24 in overtime, a win triggered by Jay Ajayi's 11-yard touchdown. Here's what we learned: 1. Victory aside, Miami's offense remains a streaky operation. Ryan Tannehill threw a pair of first-half interceptions, including an ugly 27-yard pick six to Cleveland's Briean Boddy-Calhoun that handed the Browns an early 10-..>> view original
