data-mm-id=”_58ktr5pbc”>Dallas Keuchel has become the first former Houston Astros player to publicly apologize for the franchise's sign-stealing scandal. Hopefully the new Chicago White Sox pitcher will not be the last.Keuchel won the American League Cy Young Award as a member of the Astros in 2015 and was a key part of their World Series win in 2017. So he was obviously part of the team during the heat of the sign-stealing scandal.On Friday, Keuchel didn't go into details about his level of involvement, but he admitted the sign-stealing scheme was wrong at his new team's SoxFest fan convention. Here's what he had to say about it:”“First and foremost I think apologies should be in order for, if not everybody on the team. It was never intended to be what it is made…
data-mm-id=”_crdwtm9qk”>A virtual NFL Draft is a novelty for all parties involved and presents pitfalls and obstacles that affect each team in equal measure, no matter where they fall on the draft board or the map of the country. Every general manager across the NFL is trying to compensate in their own ways for the shortcomings of virtual meetings with their coworkers and potential draft picks. Dave Gettleman, noted Luddite, told reporters on a conference call Monday that the Giants are making things work on the technology side, and in the grand scheme of things the problems they're facing pale in comparison to the larger issues facing the rest of the world. He did note that these virtual meetings come at the cost of a certain amount of personal touch, though. Seeing prospects thr…

If the Lakers truly have designs on winning a championship this year, Green is going to need to make shots. LeBron James and the Lakers desperately needed to find shooting this offseason.

Green entered the season hitting 40.4 percent from beyond the arc for his career. With Anthony Davis occupying space in the post, and LeBron James driving at his usual pace, the Lakers needed guys who could spot up and knock down shots. That would theor…

If that does happen, there will be an opening for Charlie Baker, the Republican governor of the state, to appoint a new person to the U.S. Senate until a special election can be held. Writing for the Lowell Sun today, Peter Lucas surveys the long view and suggests that a certain local celebrity would be perfect for the role. Bill Belichick. Why? Lucas has a very specific reason.”Coach Belichick comes to mind as a worthy replacement because he is one of the few well-known public figures to urge the U.S. to act against increasingly dictatorial Turkey, as well as Azerbaijan, for their recent attack on Armenia.”Belichick, who…

That situation? Lining up and converting any putt was an exercise in frustration and failure. Round 3 of the NCAA D3 Women’s Golf Championship was canceled (with nearly 60% of the field finished) because of this hole location, which the NCAA deemed “unplayable.”Story: https://t.co/lJdUMFYQDc pic.twitter.com/rrsZg2ySIS— Brentley Romine (@BrentleyGC) May 12, 2023Some more context, via Golf Channel:The NCAA is responsible for placing the pins each round, not…
