The Cincinnati Bengals entered the weekend on the heels of quarterback Joe Burrow’s most electric practice throwing the ball downfield. They now exit the weekend with the defense matching that energy. Several key players on that side of the ball remain working on the rehab field. A talented youngster on offense even returned from an injury scare a few days ago. But Sunday’s 91-degree session was a strong statement from Lou Anarumo’s ever-evolving defense. Here are some of my observations after attending Sunday’s practice. The first notable play went for the offense as Joe Burrow connected with Trenton Irwin on a fade…

Jason Kidd signs multi-year extension to remain Mavericks coach Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd has signed a multi-year contract extension, the team announced Monday. He had one season remaining on his current contract. Kidd had been “hopeful” he would receive an extension, The Athletic’s Sam Amick reported in late March. Now, he has it. Kidd, who was hired in 2021 after front-office turmoil led to the departure of Rick Carlisle, has twice led the Mavericks past the first round of the playoffs.

An Expensive Lakers Trade Offer For Lauri Markkanen The Jazz Won’t Refuse The Los Angeles Lakers might have to overpay to create a ferocious big three with Lauri Markkanen next to LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The Los Angeles Lakers have scoured the market and come up empty so far this summer. Their only major additions to the roster have come through rookies Dalton Knecht and Bronny James, with only Knecht being capable of contributing as a rotational player. Outside of that, the Lakers are running it back with all their players from last season’s first-round exit coming back. The…

In 32 innings for the Mets, Diekman has punched out nearly 28% of batters faced, though his longstanding control issues persisted. Last year, Diekman benefitted from only 6% of his flyballs leaving…
6 Essential New Metal Albums for Fans of Metal from the ’80s t’s inescapable. Everyone is talking about Master of Puppets, the 1986 Metallica album that’s often regarded as one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all time, if not THE greatest. (I’m more of a Ride the Lightning guy, but look, I’m not going to argue against something that’s earned its place in the canon by being legitimately awesome.) The album’s title track has officially entered the singles chart for the first time, over 35 years after its release, thanks to its climactic use in the fourth season of Stranger Things. It’s honestly…
Dodgers, Ohtani got creative with $700 million deal, but both sides still have some risk PHOENIX (AP) — Once the initial shock wore off on the price tag of Shohei Ohtani’s record-shattering $700 million, 10-year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, details about the contract emerged that were nearly as stunning. A total of $680 million — 97% of the money — was deferred until 2034-43 with no interest. Had the Dodgers invented some kind of contract voodoo new to Major League Baseball? Not really. But it appears to be a team-friendly deal that also has benefits for Ohtani as the Japanese superstar departs the…
