New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone has come under fire after yet another season ended without a championship win for the team. When asked what grade he would give Boone for his performance as a manager for 2025, Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner gave a positive review, and passed the blame to the Yankees offense. “Please don’t make me repeat myself Bob,” Steinbrenner said, flustered by the question. “I’ve been asked this question so many times. He’s a good manager at many of the things he has to do. He’s not perfect, I’m not perfect, you’re not perfect.” “But he is…
While the Philadelphia Flyers lead the NHL with 10 come-from-behind wins, they realize that they are playing with fire. The Flyers hope for a smoother start and a crisper overall performance Friday when they visit the New York Islanders in Elmont, N.Y. No team has been more resilient than Philadelphia but, of course, the caveat is that the Flyers often have fallen behind early in games. They trailed 1-0 after one period and 2-0 early in the second period against the Florida Panthers on Wednesday before rallying for a 4-2 triumph. Tyson Foerster scored the go-ahead goal with 46 seconds…
Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran is a good to great player whose name gets thrown around in trade talks far more often than his skill level warrants. It’s the unfortunate reality of playing for a Boston team with too many talented, young outfielders to fit them all in the same defensive alignment when healthy. And with Duran set to make the most money of the group this year at $7.7 million and closest to free agency (three years of team control left), he’s the most logical trade candidate. Two things are clear about a potential Duran trade at this…
Salou, Spain – A heartbreaking tragedy unfolded on Wednesday when a 36-year-old mother and her 2-year-old daughter were electrocuted and killed in their ground-floor apartment on Carrer de Carles Buïgas in the popular tourist town of Salou.

Emergency services received an urgent call at around 2:30 p.m. reporting that two people had suffered severe electric shocks inside the property. When Mossos d’Esquadra police and paramedics arrived, they found the mother and child unconscious and in cardiac arrest. Despite immediate resuscitation attempts by medical teams, both…
Collingwood Football Club has terminated the contract of American ruckman Mason Cox with immediate effect following serious allegations of sexual misconduct, the club announced in a brief statement late Thursday night. The 34-year-old, who has played 122 games for the Magpies since arriving as an international rookie in 2014, was stood down indefinitely on Wednesday after Victoria Police confirmed they were investigating complaints made against him. Sources close to the club say at least two separate allegations dating back to incidents in 2024 and early 2025 were formally lodged earlier this month. In a statement released at 10:47 pm, Collingwood…
The Detroit Lions made a series of roster moves ahead of their Thanksgiving showdown with the Green Bay Packers, including the official announcement of a star returning from retirement. Center Frank Ragnow is officially back with the team after announcing his retirement in the offseason. With the deadline for a player to return from the reserve/retired list being prior to the team’s Week 13 game, Ragnow is back with the team just one day before their matchup with Green Bay. Additionally, the team activated two players from injury lists, signed two from the practice squad to the active roster and…
A Philadelphia Eagles offense searching for a pulse could be without one of its top playmakers for a pivotal Week 13 NFC showdown. Wide receiver DeVonta Smith was listed as DNP (did not participate) on the Eagles’ Wednesday injury report, the second consecutive day he received the designation. Per Wednesday’s report, Smith is dealing with shoulder and chest injuries as well as illness. On Friday, the Eagles (8-3) host the Chicago Bears (8-3) in a game between division leaders. Philadelphia Eagles can’t afford DeVonta Smith to miss Week 13 versus Bears Smith is Philadelphia’s leading receiver, gaining 754 yards on…
The Philadelphia Flyers have parted ways with veteran center Scott Laughton, multiple sources confirmed Wednesday afternoon, following a series of heated verbal confrontations with head coach Rick Tocchet that reached a boiling point earlier this week. Laughton, 31, who has spent his entire 11-year NHL career in Philadelphia after being drafted 20th overall in 2012, was informed Tuesday night that the organization would be moving on. The decision comes less than 48 hours after an explosive exchange during Monday’s practice at the Flyers Training Center in Voorhees, New Jersey, where witnesses described Tocchet and Laughton needing to be separated by…
The Boston Red Sox have work to do in the middle of the lineup and the front office clearly knows that. MassLive.com’s Chris Cotillo reported shortly after the Red Sox acquired Sonny Gray from the St. Louis Cardinals that the team is “shifting” its attention to landing an “impact bat.” But, who could that entail? If you like our content, choose Sports Illustrated as a preferred source on Google. Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic gave a brief update on Wednesday and reported that Pete Alonso and Kyle Schwarber are in the mix for the Red Sox along with a potential…
In a rare press appearance, second-generation New York Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner noted, among other things, that lowering payroll for 2026 would be ideal (but that the organization won’t do that) and that it is “unfair” to presume that the Yankees organization turns a profit. Steinbrenner pointed out, for instance, that the Yankees pay a $100 million expense to New York City. Fans weren’t thrilled to hear a representative of the Yankees organization complain about money, and they made their disdain perfectly clear on social media. Fan Response One fan compared Steinbrenner to his father, George Steinbrenner — the legendary…
