This year’s University of Central Florida Knights football season is off to a 1-1 start. Yet even this early in the season, it is time for the UCF starting quarterback, Rob Calabrese, to be benched again. In each of the past three years, Calabrese was named the starter of the team. And this will, eventually (and hopefully sooner rather than later), be the third [...]

On Monday, the Tampa Bay Rays placed Wade Davis as well as Jeff Niemann on the Disabled List.

Instant replay could only be used on home run boundary calls, such as if a ball touched anything in “home run land” and bounced back into play, or if a fan reached over and caused what would be a double appear to be a home run.[...]

Apparently, a manager in the Major Leagues is no longer a person to be respected. At least not in the minds of Hanley Ramirez and David Ortiz.
