After Tuesday’s practice, Bengals coach Zac Taylor stated he didn’t have any immediate updates on Williams’ status and that the team would continue to gather more information. However, Taylor praised Williams’ growth since the team drafted him in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL draft. “He’s always been a guy that’s […]

Yankees pitcher Domingo Germán throws 1st perfect game since 2012. It’s the 24th in MLB history

Since arriving in the big leagues six years ago, Domingo Germán has been anything but perfect. Until now. The New York Yankees right-hander pitched the 24th perfect game in major league history Wednesday night, retiring every Oakland batter in an 11-0 triumph over the Athletics. It was the first perfect game since Seattle Mariners ace Félix Hernández threw one versus the Tampa Bay Rays on Aug. 15, 2012. There were three that season — but none since until Germán finished off the first no-hitter in the majors this year. He joined Don Larsen (1956), David Wells (1998) and David Cone (1999) as Yankees to pitch perfect […]

Heat shake off Game 4 loss, citing season done ‘the hard way’

As Jimmy Butler walked to the podium following the Miami Heat’s 116-99 loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals Tuesday night, he was singing. It was Alicia Keys’ 2007 song “No One.” But the specific verse he closed with was, “Everything’s gonna be alright.” While Butler and the 8-seed Heat lamented that they couldn’t close out the Celtics and earn their second trip to the NBA Finals in four seasons, there remained an air of confidence within the group that it could go back to Boston for Thursday night’s Game 5 and find a way to win one more. “If anything, […]

Devin Booker shrugs off historic efficiency as Suns even series

Phoenix Suns superstar Devin Booker doesn’t want to be bothered with digging too deep into the analysis of his historic hot streak. Booker kept his phenomenal playoff run by scoring 36 points, matching teammate Kevin Durant’s total, while going 14-of-18 from the field in Phoenix’s series-evening 129-124 win over the Denver Nuggets in Sunday night’s Game 4 at Footprint Center. “Man, I’m just trying to win,” Booker said. “I always say, and it’s something that I’ll tell KD, like throw that efficiency s— out the window. I don’t care about that. Just keep going, keep attacking, keep being aggressive.” But Booker’s efficiency has been astounding throughout the playoffs […]
