BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Myles Garrett hasn't met his new head coach, but he has at least talked to his new defensive coordinator. "I knew that would be a question. I'm going to leave a lot of that interaction between me and Myles. There has been some. Yes," Mike Rutenberg said on Wednesday ...
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Kyle Busch died last week from hemorrhagic shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation after complications from bacterial pneumonia led to sepsis, according to the former NASCAR star's death certificate.

Claude Lemieux, a four-time Stanley Cup champion whose ferocious, hard-hitting style of play angered opponents and sometimes overshadowed his prodigious skills and ability to deliver in the biggest games, has died after taking his own life, according to authorities.

It will be ringed by a red, white and blue stage under a towering arch featuring stars and stripes patterns and two large screens carrying ...
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Geno Smith knows what a lot of New York Jets fans are daydreaming about. The quarterback has been here before, a much younger and less-experienced version, of course. The Jets had only missed the playoffs the previous two years when Smith was selected by the franchise in the second round of the 2013 NFL draft. He has come and gone elsewhere — four other stops, actually — and that postseason drought has since reached 15 years, the longest among teams in the NFL, NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball. Smith is now 35 years old and back where he began his ...
