Cole Hamels To Miss Start With Hamstring Injury

Cole Hamels is the team’s most attractive trade chip, and the last thing the Phillies need is a red flag that might scare off a potential suitor. They might have a small one, though, after announcing Hamels won’t make his scheduled start Friday because of a “mild” right hamstring strain. There have been no indications of trouble through Hamels’ 14 starts this season. The left-hander has a 2.96 ERA and has struck out 103 batters in an NL-leading 94 1/3 innings....

Colin Kaepernick Demands White Supremacist Police Be Abolished After Breonna Taylor Verdict

That seemed to be the collective media strategy by the league’s national broadcast partners Sunday, as CBS, Fox, ESPN, and NFL Network stuffed Kaepernick, and the players who’ve followed his lead, right down the TV memory hole.

College Football 2019 Where To Watch Arkansas State Vs. Georgia Tv Channel Live Stream And Odds

The No.3 ranked Bulldogs moved to 2-0 last weekend after dispatching Murray State 63-17 to follow up a 30-6 road win over Vanderbilt in Week 1. Beating an FCS—the second tier of college football—program such as Murray State might not be the most reliable indicator of progress, but Georgia nevertheless looked impressive. Jake Fromm went 10-for-11 for 166 yards and one touchdown, before coach Kirby Smart handed minutes to back-up quarterbacks Stetson Bennett and Nathan Priestley....

State, a defeat that completely drops the Tigers from Playoff consideration, if past precedent tells us anything.
