But at just 27 in his playing prime, Rodgers-Cromartie hinted that there’s a chance he doesn’t play another NFL down after Super Bowl XLVIII. A victory just might be enough to push him into retirement from football and toward other pursuits. “It has been a long journey and I am weighing my options,” Rodgers-Cromartie said. “I am still a young guy and not a Champ Bailey or a Peyton Manning who have a legacy of going out on top....

According to ESPN, undisclosed sources claim the Broncos are making the veteran cornerback available to trade for the right price. Broncos general manager John Elway, however, denied the report and said the Broncos have no interest in getting rid of Talib. “False,” Elway told reporters Saturday. “[Talib’s] name was never brought up anywhere.” MORE: Fantasy football: Top sleeper picks Talib suffered a gunshot wound to his right leg in an incident in Dallas in early June, leading to speculation that he accidentally shot himself....

Brown scored on a breakaway 56 seconds into overtime and the Los Angeles Kings withstood a late comeback attempt by Colorado and beat the Avalanche 3-2 on Monday night. “The puck got kicked into our zone,” Brown said. “They were trying to get a change.

Tennessee beat Cleveland 43-13 at FirstEnergy Stadium, which stretches the Browns’ winless streak in openers to 15 straight seasons. This one was supposed to be different.

This is the NFL....

2006 was a statement year for RVD as he reached the WWE summit by capturing top titles. Bruce Prichard was with the company at the time and felt Rob Van Dam missed out on the opportunity to truly become the undisputed top guy for an extended period.

“There’s not a day that goes by that I’m not in pain,” Smith told The Buffalo News on Monday. “Multiple joints and things that I experience on a daily basis.

That would be his final play in the Washington Nationals' 4-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday. First-year manager Matt Williams will tolerate physical miscues, such as the error that provided St. Louis three unearned runs, but he won't take the nonchalance that the normally aggressive Harper displayed during his sixth-inning jog.

At No. 10 on a list of notes from BetOnline.ag was this: “On August 2nd, Bryce Harper was off the board to win the NL MVP.” My first thought was, “Well, what is he now?” I thought maybe he’d cracked the top 10 or maybe even the top five. Nope, he’s No. 2, at 4/1, behind only Fernando Tatis Jr., who checks in at 10/11. Harper’s followed closely by Max Muncy (19/4), with Trea Turner (8/1) and Freddie Freeman (17/2) following behind....

The band kicked off their week-long residency Monday night just as their hit “Dynamite” retook the No. 1 ranking on the Billboard Hot 100 list.

It was defensible when, after a double by Josh Donaldson, an intentional walk to Edwin Encarnacion and a strikeout of Jose Bautista, Showalter called on Darren O’Day to face Russell Martin. It would have made more sense to go to Cy Young-contending closer Zach Britton with his 80 percent ground-ball rate, but O’Day has earned Showalter’s trust over the years. And, not for nothing, Showalter got away with it as Martin hit into a double play....

The Patriots and Buccaneers on Tuesday completed a trade that brought the tight end out of retirement for one final season with Brady.
