At long last, Al Horford’s time in Boston has come to an end. The veteran big man has agreed to a multi-year contract with the Golden State Warriors in NBA free agency, his agent confirmed to ESPN’s Shams Charania on Sunday.

The Cincinnati Reds entered Sunday in complete control of their own playoff destiny. With a victory in game No. 162, Cincinnati could qualify for the postseason as the National League’s third wild-card team, bouncing the New York Mets out of the picture. Regardless of what transpires on Sunday, however, it’s worth noting that Reds manager Terry Francona has reminded the baseball world this season — his first in Cincinnati — how special he is. While Pat Murphy of the Milwaukee Brewers has been more impressive than virtually any other manager in MLB over the past couple of seasons, Francona is…
Your Favorite Player of 2025A lot of people wrote off Mookie Betts in the first half of 2025, reasoning that this was the year that he finally ceased to be one of the best baseball players in the world.

A trip to Miami awaited the next day, and with it, a chance to redeem their season-opening loss to Las Vegas. For Wallace, a 25-year-old offensive lineman, it was time to undress, shower, head home, pack and get ready to fly. But for now, that could all wait. A video message from his father had popped up on his phone. Wallace hit play. In the video, a slight woman dressed in all black stood inside a tidy…
The Patriots will face the Carolina Panthers this Sunday, with New England aiming to recover from its 21-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3. The Patriots had five turnovers in a sloppy performance, and this week might not get any better. CBS Sports NFL Writer Garrett Podell made bold predictions for Week 4 and predicts that Carolina quarterback Bryce Young will win his second career road start. “Only Dave Klingler, the sixth overall pick of the 1992 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals, had a worse quarterback winning percentage on the road (0-13, .000) than Carolina Panthers 2023 first overall…
