Ryan Tannehill has lost big games before. Losing as the AFC’s No. 1 seed with the Titans quarterback throwing three interceptions left him with what he called a “deep scar.” Tannehill said he was in a dark place. Tannehill talked to reporters Tuesday for the first time since the Titans’ loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in January. He also called the trade of his top target A.J. Brown shocking because he expected an extension keeping the receiver in Tennessee.

That means the U.S. will more aggressively work to secure her release while the legal case against her plays out. Griner was detained at an airport in February after Russian authorities said a search of her bag revealed vape cartridges containing traces of cannabis oil. U.S. officials previously stopped short of classifying the Phoenix Mercury player as wrongfully detained. The president of the WNBA players’ union says it’s time for Griner to “come home.” Horse Racing – Mo.-based company hired to police drugs in US horse racing A deal for Drug Free Sport International to police medication in horse racing is in place two months before the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority takes effect.

The anti-doping and medication rules aren’t expected to begin until early next year, which leaves the 38 states where horse racing occurs in charge for now. Drug Free Sport International will oversee an integrity and welfare unit that will be led by Jonathan Taylor, a British attorney.

Fresh off an 89-87 double overtime victory over Rutgers in Wednesday’s First Four in Dayton, Ohio, Brey and his Notre Dame squad arrived in Southern California early Thursday morning without much time to prepare for Friday’s West Region first-round matchup against sixth-seeded Alabama. Brey said 11th-seeded Notre Dame’s flight landed at 4:30 a.m. About 13 hours later, the team had a brief walkthrough at Viejas Arena.

Two nights after being torched for 16 points in the first quarter by Brooklyn’s Kyrie Irving on his way to a 60-point game, the Magic gave up 21 points in the first quarter to Bey.

Chafin gets a $1 million signing bonus, $5.5 million this season and $6.5 million in 2023. The 31-year-old had a 1.83 ERA with a career-high five saves and 64 strikeouts in 71 games in 2021, splitting the season with the Chicago Cubs and Oakland Athletics. His ERA ranked No. 5 in the majors among relievers and he ranked among baseball’s leaders in opponents’ on-base and slugging percentage and opponents’ slugging percentage. MLB – AP sources: Cubs add Villar, Givens in flurry of moves The Chicago Cubs stayed busy, agreeing to contracts with infielder Jonathan Villar and pitchers Mychal Givens, Daniel Norris and Robert Gsellman. The Cubs also finalized right-hander Chris Martin’s one-year deal and placed left-hander Brad Wieck on the 60-day injured list with a left elbow strain. The additions are the latest in a flurry of moves for the Cubs since they opened spring training — especially on the pitching side. There is concern across the majors about pitching depth with baseball’s adjusted schedule after the lockout. MLB – Cubs’ Hendricks eyes return to form coming off rough season Kyle Hendricks hopes to return to the form that made him one of the Chicago Cubs’ most reliable pitchers in recent years. The team is counting on the veteran right-hander to do just that. The 32-year-old right-hander won 14 games last season to match his second-highest total. Otherwise, it was by far his worst year. Hendricks’ ERA leaped from 2.88 in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season to a career-worst 4.77. The major league-leading 200 hits were the most he has allowed. So were the 31 homers, a big jump for someone who had never given up more than 22. With 131 strikeouts and 44 walks, his strikeout-to-walk ratio was below 3.00 for the first time — a big drop from his NL-leading mark of 8.0 in 2020. NCAA – NTSB: 13-year-old drove pickup in Texas crash that killed 9 A National Transportation Safety Board spokesman says a 13-year-old was driving the pickup truck that struck a van in West Texas in a fiery collision that killed nine people. NTSB Vice Chairman Bruce Landsberg said Thursday the truck’s left front tire, which was a spare tire, also blew out before impact. One must be 14 in Texas to start taking classroom courses for a learner’s license and 15 to receive that provisional license to drive with an instructor or licensed adult in the vehicle. The pickup crossed into the opposite lane on a darkened, two-lane highway before colliding head-on with a van, killing the boy, a man traveling with him, six New Mexico college students and a golf coach. NFL – Lions sign receiver DJ Chark to $10 million, 1-year contract The Detroit Lions signed wide receiver DJ Chark to a $10 million, one-year contract. Detroit made a short-term investment for a former Pro Bowl player coming off an injury-shortened season. A broken ankle limited Chark to four games last season in Jacksonville. He earned Pro Bowl recognition in 2019 after he had 73 receptions for 1,008 yards and eight touchdowns with the Jaguars. Chark said a few other teams wanted to give him a long-term deal, but he chose to sign in Detroit because of the fit with a team that desperately needs a deep threat at receiver. NFL – AP source: Raiders acquiring Davante Adams from Packers The Las Vegas Raiders are making a blockbuster move to keep up in the AFC West, acquiring All-Pro receiver Davante Adams from the Green Bay Packers. A person familiar with the move said Thursday the Raiders are sending the No. 22 overall pick in the April draft and additional compensation to the Packers to reunite Adams with his college quarterback, Derek Carr. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal hadn’t been announced. NFL Network reported that Adams has agreed to a new five-year deal with the Raiders that will pay him $141.25 million in the richest deal ever for a wide receiver. Golf – Sheriff: Workers maybe sparked country club fire with torch Surveillance camera footage shows maintenance workers using a propane torch prior to a blaze that destroyed a century-old clubhouse at a suburban Detroit country club. The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office said the Oakland Hills Country Club has estimated the loss of the clubhouse at about $80 million. Sheriff Michael Bouchard said Thursday that the footage appears to show the workers attempting to douse a small fire in a wall using a garden hose on Feb. 17. Bouchard says investigators could have a preliminary finding on the cause of the fire next month. He did not mention the possibility of criminal charges.

He helped the 11th-seeded Wolverines rally from a 15-point deficit to beat sixth-seeded Colorado State 75-63 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Collins was pressed into the starting lineup because starting point guard DeVante’ Jones was out with a concussion. He had season highs of 14 points, six rebounds and 31 minutes.

Fresh off an 89-87 double overtime victory over Rutgers in Wednesday’s First Four in Dayton, Ohio, Brey and his Notre Dame squad arrived in Southern California early Thursday morning without much time to prepare for Friday’s West Region first-round matchup against sixth-seeded Alabama. Brey said 11th-seeded Notre Dame’s flight landed at 4:30 a.m. About 13 hours later, the team had a brief walkthrough at Viejas Arena. NBA – National Basketball Association Last Night Detroit Pistons 134, Orlando Magic 120 Pistons 134, Magic 120 – Bey scores career-high 51 points, Pistons beat Magic 134-120 Saddiq Bey scored a career-high 51 points and the Detroit Pistons beat the Orlando Magic 134-120 on Thursday night end a four-game losing streak. Bey tied the franchise record with 10 3-pointers in 14 attempts. He was 17 for 27 overall. Two nights after being torched for 16 points in the first quarter by Brooklyn’s Kyrie Irving on his way to a 60-point game, the Magic gave up 21 points in the first quarter to Bey.

Thatcher Demko stopped 34 shots for the Canucks. Vancouver pushed in the third, outshooting the Red Wings 14-4 in the period and pulling Demko with 2:23 left on the game clock. The Red Wings road trip continues on Saturday night at the expansion Seattle Kraken. MLB – Major League Baseball – Spring Training Yesterday Chicago White Sox (ss) 4, Chicago Cubs (ss) 3 – F/7 Mesa, AZ Chicago White Sox (ss) 5, Chicago Cubs (ss) 2 – F/7 Glendale, AZ Today Philadelphia Phillies at Detroit Tigers, 1:05 p.m. Chicago Cubs at San Francisco Giants, 10:05 p.m. MLB – Tigers agree to 2-year deal with LHP Andrew Chafin Left-hander Andrew Chafin and the Tigers finalized a $13 million, two-year contract, giving Detroit one of the top relief pitchers on the free agent market. Chafin gets a $1 million signing bonus, $5.5 million this season and $6.5 million in 2023. The 31-year-old had a 1.83 ERA with a career-high five saves and 64 strikeouts in 71 games in 2021, splitting the season with the Chicago Cubs and Oakland Athletics. His ERA ranked No. 5 in the majors among relievers and he ranked among baseball’s leaders in opponents’ on-base and slugging percentage and opponents’ slugging percentage. MLB – AP sources: Cubs add Villar, Givens in flurry of moves The Chicago Cubs stayed busy, agreeing to contracts with infielder Jonathan Villar and pitchers Mychal Givens, Daniel Norris and Robert Gsellman. The Cubs also finalized right-hander Chris Martin’s one-year deal and placed left-hander Brad Wieck on the 60-day injured list with a left elbow strain. The additions are the latest in a flurry of moves for the Cubs since they opened spring training — especially on the pitching side. There is concern across the majors about pitching depth with baseball’s adjusted schedule after the lockout. MLB – Cubs’ Hendricks eyes return to form coming off rough season Kyle Hendricks hopes to return to the form that made him one of the Chicago Cubs’ most reliable pitchers in recent years. The team is counting on the veteran right-hander to do just that. The 32-year-old right-hander won 14 games last season to match his second-highest total. Otherwise, it was by far his worst year. Hendricks’ ERA leaped from 2.88 in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season to a career-worst 4.77. The major league-leading 200 hits were the most he has allowed. So were the 31 homers, a big jump for someone who had never given up more than 22. With 131 strikeouts and 44 walks, his strikeout-to-walk ratio was below 3.00 for the first time — a big drop from his NL-leading mark of 8.0 in 2020. NCAA – NTSB: 13-year-old drove pickup in Texas crash that killed 9 A National Transportation Safety Board spokesman says a 13-year-old was driving the pickup truck that struck a van in West Texas in a fiery collision that killed nine people. NTSB Vice Chairman Bruce Landsberg said Thursday the truck’s left front tire, which was a spare tire, also blew out before impact. One must be 14 in Texas to start taking classroom courses for a learner’s license and 15 to receive that provisional license to drive with an instructor or licensed adult in the vehicle. The pickup crossed into the opposite lane on a darkened, two-lane highway before colliding head-on with a van, killing the boy, a man traveling with him, six New Mexico college students and a golf coach. NFL – Lions sign receiver DJ Chark to $10 million, 1-year contract The Detroit Lions signed wide receiver DJ Chark to a $10 million, one-year contract. Detroit made a short-term investment for a former Pro Bowl player coming off an injury-shortened season. A broken ankle limited Chark to four games last season in Jacksonville. He earned Pro Bowl recognition in 2019 after he had 73 receptions for 1,008 yards and eight touchdowns with the Jaguars. Chark said a few other teams wanted to give him a long-term deal, but he chose to sign in Detroit because of the fit with a team that desperately needs a deep threat at receiver. NFL – AP source: Raiders acquiring Davante Adams from Packers The Las Vegas Raiders are making a blockbuster move to keep up in the AFC West, acquiring All-Pro receiver Davante Adams from the Green Bay Packers. A person familiar with the move said Thursday the Raiders are sending the No. 22 overall pick in the April draft and additional compensation to the Packers to reunite Adams with his college quarterback, Derek Carr. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal hadn’t been announced. NFL Network reported that Adams has agreed to a new five-year deal with the Raiders that will pay him $141.25 million in the richest deal ever for a wide receiver.

Jake and Elizabeth sung the praises of some of the Mets' recent heroes, including James McCann, Jonathan Villar, Marcus Stroman, and (gasp!) Robert Gsellman! They also took a few fan questions from Twitter, talked about Stroman's fielding and deGrom's hitting, quizzed each other with some trivia, and dove into just why the team's vibes have been so on point the entire season. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Doug Williams and Keith Hernandez are back with a new episode of the Shea Anything podcast presented by Verizon, now that Noah Syndergaard has been shut down for multiple weeks, who should the Mets call on now? Doug and Keith also discuss if Marcus Stroman has pitched himself into a contract extension or should the Mets wait a little longer for a larger sample size. The guys also examine if Seth Lugo or Robert Gsellman would be better suited to be a spot starter in order to not tax the bullpen as much until more guys come back from injury. Lastly, the Mets are still finding ways to win and remain atop of the NL East despite a slew of injuries, has manager Luis Rojas solidified a campaign to be NL Manager of the Year?
Mets manager Luis Rojas talks about how he built the lineup against Nationals lefty Patrick Corbin, Robert Gsellman's impressive relief performance Saturday, and how he can use the bullpen Sunday with an off day on Monday. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Amazin’ Avenue Audio (The Show), the new/old favorite from Amazin’ Avenue editors Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. This week, Brian and Chris reconvene for the first time in nearly 2 months (!) to discuss the state of the Mets' front office under Steve Cohen and the lack of a current general manager. Next, they discuss the decision to tender contracts to Steven Matz and Robert Gsellman, and the decision to non-tender four players, including Paul Sewald and Chasen Shrieve. With four more spots on the 40-Man Roster, Chris and Brian spotlight five potential players who were no-tendered by their clubs today that may make sense for the Mets in one way or another. Finally, the two newest Met relievers, Trevor May and Jacob Barnes, get the spotlight as the bullpen remaking begins. Chris’s Music Picks: King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - K.G.

It looks like the ink is about to dry on Steve Cohen's deal to purchase the Mets. What does this mean for the team, and fans going forward? Michael Conforto is having a career year, and somehow still gets hate. Robert Gsellman broke a rib while pitching. Darren wants to pay the Mets to let him work at the ballpark. Bartolo Colon is still mashing home runs. Besides Jacob deGrom the rotation is a gigantic question mark. With just 15 games left in this weird regular season, time is running out for the boys to secure a playoff spot. We'll see if they can get it done. Plus some calls, and the usual random hijinx.

Along with the Polar Bear, the Mets lineup came alive to score 11 runs off the Nationals, as plenty of guys rose to the occasion.

This is an interview I conducted with Luis Rojas in 2014 when he was the manager of the Savannah Sand Gnats of the South Atlantic League. Among players on this team were Dominic Smith, Jeff McNeil, Gavin Cecchini, Robert Gsellman, Rob Whalen, John Gant, and Akeel Morris.
With a through line of Casey Mize, and an obligatory mention of Robert Gsellman, the senior prospect staff at Baseball Prospectus discuss list-making philosophy.

Dane Martinez, Scott Engel, and Jake Ciely are your daily morning RotoExperts. Dane and Scott open the show talking about the Mets-Yankees series, but more about how the Mets shook up their roster, as well as the question of the DH spot in the NL after Masahiro Tanaka hit the DL after injuring his hamstrings running the bases. The guys go over the rest of the weekend games and question top Cy young candidates in Max Scherzer and Corey Kluber. Scott was at Citi Field talking with Yankees rookie sensation Gleyber Torres about his power numbers going up since leaving the minors, and also chats with Mets pitcher Robert Gsellman. Dane and Scott break the news that Shohei Ohtani will likely have Tommy John surgery to repair his elbow that could keep him out until the 2020 season. Turning the page to football, Dane and Scott question if this year will be the time the Patriots finally miss the playoffs. Scott explains why Earl Thomas is holding out for a contract extension with the Seahawks. #FNTSY #MLB #Mets #yankees #GleyberTorres #Tanaka #AdrianGonzalez #RobertGsellman #MaxScherzer #CoreyKluber #CyYoung #ShoheiOhtani #AlbertPujols #NFL #fantasyfootball #JulianEdelman #ChrisHogan #EarlThomas #Patriots #Seahawks Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers
Saved By The Button, starring Robert Gsellman (of Westchester HS in LA no Bayside, but still...) Josh recaps a zany extra inning win vs Atlanta and recalls the famous Mets-Braves extra inning game of '85
Roger and Brian chatted about Shohei Ohtani spurning the Mets despite their multimedia presentation(17:30), the Mets continuing to not spend money (19:55), Ubaldo Jimenez (27:25), Carlos Santana (35:30), how getting Ian Kinsler would be such a Mets move (39:05), why the Mets wouldn't just try to be in on Giancarlo Stanton (44:10), their feelings on Carlos Beltran not getting the Yankees managerial job (47:35), Terry Collins' new nickname (49:10), Jordany Valdespin's weird tweet (50:00), Matt Harvey getting tendered a contract (51:00), their preference for who will martyr themselves as the new Mets Santa (54:20), Brandon Nimmo and when in a player's career umps start giving them close calls (57:00), a possible Jay Bruce return (01:01:50), Bryan Shaw (01:03:20), Dominic Smith and the folly of minor league defensive scouting (01:05:50), and if Dan Warthen was truly to blame for not using technology (01:13:40). Of course that isn't it because in the mailbag segment the Good Fundies boys guessed on which Met would be most into Black Friday and Cyber Monday (01:08:50), if Matt Adams should be considered as a Dom Smith stopgap (01:23:20), if a baby should experience their first Mets Opening Day with SNY or WOR (01:25:05), if Shohei Ohtani will have a higher WAR as a pitcher or position player (01:32:45), how devastated they are over not getting Aaron Boone to manage (01:35:00), and if they would trade Robert Gsellman for Whit Merrifield and his 80s actor name (01:38:50). Thank you to Joy Division for the music.

Brian returned to tell Roger what it's like to watch Mets games without social media (07:30) before getting into all of the things Brian didn't get to talk about over the last two weeks: the Binghamton Rumble Ponies making the playoffs (14:25), Robert Gsellman conceding apathy (16:10), Jay Bruce joining Twitter (18:12), Michael Conforto's injury (20:27), Brian's long desired Nori Aoki finally becoming a Met and if he would have been a better signing than Michael Cuddyer (25:50), Yoenis Cespedes' injury (29:10), Brian's conspiracy theory on David Wright's latest setback (33:45), Wilmer Flores breaking his own nose on his own foul ball (45:50), Rafael Montero continuing to not be awful (49:50), Kevin Plawecki showing his promise (53:30), Matt Harvey's predictably controversial return to the majors (57:28), Noah Syndergaard's rehab (01:10:25), Juan Lagares proving he should be the 2018 starting center fielder (01:12:50), the good news and bad news about Brandon Nimmo (01:16:00),
With all of his favorite players and podcast partner gone, Roger kept moving forward. First he talked out his depression over the Michael Conforto injury (03:13) before reading #MetsTwitter's favorite David Wright moments (07:22). Then he was joined by Mets/Marlins fan Ursula of the @FBWGPodcast. They chatted over what to expect from AJ Ramos (18:30), Robert Gsellman's disappointing season (26:22), if roommate Noah Syndergaard is a bad influence (33:08), what the Marlins might take from the Mets for Giancarlo Stanton (37:00), and if the Marlins Park sculpture can ever be sold or given to a museum (53:00). Then in the mailbag segment, Roger talked about Amed Rosario (57:55), who will be and should definitely not be the next Mets manager (58:37), if this episode is the best episode of Good Fundies ever (01:02:45), and if there should be major concern over Cespedes' hamstrings (01:03:30). Then Roger reads an email that will literally blow your mind and make you reconsider the previous five months of emails, figuratively speaking (01:05:30) Note: This episode has some cusses in it.

Terry Collins and Robert Gsellman discuss the Mets' 12-0 loss to the Dodgers
Brian and Roger talked about the crazier than usual events going on at Citi Field lately, if Wilmer Flores has secretly - no kidding - been an All-Star player this entire time, when Amed Rosario is going to show up already, how Brian is the Mets' Grim Reaper, if Robert Gsellman or Matt Harvey should be the new team closer, the most likable thing Terry Collins has done in a long time, and seriously where is Amed Rosario? Plus a dip into the mailbag, the several premieres of 'Roger's Conspiracy Theory of the Week', and Brian's introduction to the phrase 'Hot Rebuild.' Corrections: Brian meant Fallon, not Kimmel. Roger meant batboy, not ballboy. One regrets his error. Thanks to Andrew Lowden and Orange Juice for the music.
Mike Silva discusses comments made by Terry Collins about the preparedness of his pitching staff out of spring training. He also opines on whether Matt Harvey should go to the bullpen, or Triple-A, when Steven Matz and Seth Lugo return. Danny Knobler of the Bleacher Report gives his take on the situation as well as Albert Pujols 600th home run, the red-hot Houston Astros and whether Arizona and Colorado are real contenders.
Robert Gsellman drove in two of the Mets' four runs, while limiting the Brewers to two runs (one earned) in the Mets' 4-2 win. Terry Collins discusses the win after the game.

In Episode 29 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett discuss the paucity of Mets news for the week.

Tanner Roark and Robert Gsellman dueled it out in D.C., but Wilson Ramos hit a big home run in what ended up a 1-0 Washington Nationals’ win over the New York Mets. Ramos drove in the only run of the game with a 427 foot blast to center field in Nationals Park, taking Mets' reliever Fernando Salas deep to give the Nats 2 of 3 from NY in D.C.

What is going on with Robert Gsellman, how about Seth Lugo's spin rate, is Andres Gimenez a top 10 prospect in this system? All these questions, and a cheeky Dom Smith e-mail,will be answered.And in the third half of the show we discuss indy rock, playoff odds, sunk costs, and then a whole lot of professional wrestling with The Wrestling Blog's Tom Holzerman, or TH if you will.
Roger and Brian figured out which Met would ruin the 'Fast & Furious' franchise just like Vin Diesel. Then they determined if Robert Gsellman is going to the Hall of Fame and if the Mets will exclusively go after long haired Long Island pitchers. After that, Brian insisted Yoenis Cespedes is going to opt out of his deal before refusing to wager any money on it. He also explained that the Mets aren't going to make the playoffs and made Roger uncomfortable over making him the optimistic one. They did though both agree on disliking Jonathon Niese and came up with album titles for Gary Cohen's college band before Brian spoiled the mood and insulted Matt Reynolds. In the mail segment, someone asked to come up with just one positive storyline from the 2016 Mets season, and if Jony Ive truly is the Eero Saarinen of his day.
This week, we recap the draft, get lots of Kelly Johnson talk, and introduce a new fan to the essential elements of Mets fandom. First up, Brian Salvatore is joined by Steve Sypa and Lukas Vlahos to recap and discuss last week's draft. Then, Steve Schrieber brings us a bit of a sartorial discussion between Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez as part of This Week in SNY. Chris McShane then chats with Mets prospect Logan Taylor. Taylor, currently pitching for the Double-A Binghamton Mets, is an alumnus of Eastern Oklahoma State College. You can follow him on Twitter, @loganreese36. Lukas returns with another stat of the week, then Noel Purcell highlights Robert Gsellman, and Bryan Renzi looks back on the short-lived Mets career of Ronny Cedeno. Aaron Yorke dissects the recent trade for Kelly Johnson before Chris and Brian answer your emails, and then Kate Feldman brings us our most recent edition of the Panic City Meter.

In the "Ragnarok >>>>> Thorsday" edition, Steve and Jeffrey just get thrown out there to see if they can podcast. Sio we tapdance a bit on Noah Syndergaard's debut (mostly because Steve was at an ROH show), and discuss what might possibly be the matter with Jacob deGrom. Next, because the show wasn't going to run long enough as it was, we go over your twitter topic suggestions, so get ready for a lot of pro wrestling, and some complaining about Terry Collins. Then, Jeff Moore from Baseball Prospectus joins the show to talk about the Mets prospects of note in St. Lucie (mostly just Robert Gsellman). Finally, we wrap things up with your e-mails and an extended Svenska Cupen final preview. Come on you blue and white angels! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
