Brisbane captain Adam Reynolds has been cleared of serious injury, while scans have revealed winger Deine Mariner has suffered a fractured back in mixed injury news for the battered Broncos. Last year’s grand finalists feared the worst when Reynolds limped off at halftime of their 34-32 loss to Melbourne, with the veteran halfback appearing emotional in the changeroom. Mariner, who suffered the injury in a heavy collision with Storm winger Xavier Coates, managed to play out Thursday night’s game but joined Reynolds in going for scans.

Jansen secured a 1-0 road win for the Red Sox over the Oakland Athletics to notch the 422nd save of his career. It didn’t come easy, though, with Jansen getting himself into a jam by putting the tying and winning runs on base in the bottom of the ninth. But Jansen came away…

If you feel a shiver going down the back of your spine when we mention Peter Chiarelli, then you’re clearly an Oilers fan who lived through his reign of ‘terror’ in Edmonton. During nearly four years in Alberta, he hurtled from one calamity to another, to the point that you wondered if he was making all his decisions as one big joke at the expense of the Oilers; surely no one could be that incompetent as a general manager?!?! Sadly though, it turned out that Chiarelli really was that bad, including making arguably the worst trade in team history, replacing…

has visited Tennessee more than a half-dozen times over the past few years, and he has found plenty of reasons to be excited about the possibility of staying in-state and playing for the Vols. In the end, he decided it simply didn’t make sense for him to go anywhere else. The four-star Class of 2025 defensive lineman from Ensworth School in Nashville, Tenn., announced Thursday night that he has committed to Tennessee. He celebrated his 17th birthday by choosing the home-state Vols over Texas, giving Tennessee another early commitment from one of its top in-state targets.
