Teixeira, though, also said something that appears to have been largely overlooked: Even if the sides work out the money, there’s still no guarantee there will be a season because of the coronavirus pandemic. “Do I think that the players would show up at 50-50? Yes. Do I think that the logistics of actually putting on a baseball season and everything that goes into it because of this pandemic is going to happen?...

Rossi looked set to see out a win at Sepang before incredibly going down with four laps remaining. That gifted Marquez – the world champion – the lead and the Repsol Honda rider closed out his ninth win of the season comfortably. The grand prix win was the 70th of Marquez’s career in all classes, sitting fifth on the all-time list and with Mike Hailwood (76) in his sights....

Marquez stretched his lead to 41 points with his victory in Assen last time out and the four-time world champion gave himself a golden opportunity to further extend that advantage on Saturday. The Repsol Honda rider denied Danilo Petrucci by just 0.025secs, with Jorge Lorenzo qualifying in third spot. Marquez was third after the first set of flyers, but the Spaniard pipped Petrucci with a blistering final lap of one minute, 20....

Marrone’s position is thought to be under threat with the team heading into the Colts clash with a 5-10 record and bottom of the AFC South. An ESPN report suggested Marrone would be dismissed after the game but Jim Woodcock – a spokesman for owner Shad Khan – posted on Twitter that is not the case. “Reports that Doug Marrone will be dismissed after Sunday’s game are 100 per cent incorrect,” he wrote....

Amateur astronomer and Florida resident Howard Eskildsen snapped an image of the “light bridge”—which has a length that’s roughly equal to the diameter of Mars—in a recently formed sunspot dubbed AR2770, spaceweather.com reported. Sunspots are dark spots that temporarily appear on the solar surface, which are cooler than the surrounding areas. These phenomena are caused by strong magnetic field concentrations, which inhibit convection—the transfer of heat from one place to another within gases and liquids....

PSG might have a raft of international stars, including the world’s most expensive player in Neymar, and have dominated the French domestic scene in recent years, but Marseille retain an incredible support and are the only Ligue 1 club to have won the Champions League. The sides have forged an intense rivalry over the years and meet at Parc des Princes on Sunday, and Payet has stoked emotions prior to that encounter....

The Marseille coach elected to play Dimitri Payet, even with the France winger not fully fit following a muscle strain, and it blew up in his face spectacularly. Atletico Madrid took the lead through Antoine Griezmann in the 21st minute and, 11 minutes later, Payet bid a tearful farewell to the Groupama Stadium stage as he limped off. With Payet’s exit went any hope of them clawing a way back into the contest, which Griezmann and Gabi ensured was taken away from them completely in a 3-0 defeat, yet in his post-match media conference Garcia stood by his decision to start his hobbled star....

Australia international Marsh blasted an unbeaten 93 off just 41 balls to lead the Scorchers to an impressive 213-3 – their highest total in Big Bash League history. The Perth skipper plundered 44 of his runs off 13 deliveries from Ben Laughlin, who finished with the joint-most expensive figures in a BBL match of 1-60. Tom Banton gave the Scorchers hope with an entertaining 55, but Brisbane came up short on 179-8 and the Scorchers moved level with them on eight points....

Martha’s disappearing act might soon spread to her entire company. The investigations into her ImClone stock sale are coming to a head and could cost her her job. Last week sources close to the SEC investigation confirmed she had been served a “Wells notice,” signaling the stock-market cops’ intent to file civil charges. And the criminal probe into her activities also is heating up, law-enforcement sources say. Martha denies she had any inside info when she unloaded nearly 4,000 ImClone shares a day before federal regulators rejected the company’s promising cancer drug....

The new line will feature CBD wellness products for both people and pets, such as gourmet-flavored gummies (inspired by Stewart’s profile of recipes), along with oil drops and soft gels.

[HTML1] Gamers await the launch of their favorite sports video game every year, and in my homeland of Canada the game of choice is none other than the NHL franchise. Headed up by Electronic Arts, NHL 14 is the upcoming iteration in the hockey franchise and it’s scheduled to hit later this September. As with the previous NHL title, EA Sports held an annual poll to determine which player would fill the role as cover star, and the results have come in....

Having taken a 1-0 lead in the series by beating England at Lord’s, India lost two Tests back to back and now are in the danger of losing the series. Dhoni is regarded as one of India’s most successful captains, having achieved number one ranking in Tests, winning the 50-over and 20-over world cups, as well as the Champions Trophy in 2013, but his Test captaincy record, especially overseas, has been appalling....

Rory McIlroy also fared well thanks to five birdies on his inward nine. Kaymer’s round featured 10 birdies and a blistering back nine. He needed 31 strokes to complete a 64 that put him one shot ahead of Thomas Pieters. The highlight of Kaymer’s round came at the par-five 18th as a stunning 260-yard approach shot set up an eagle putt, which he left just short. “I hit a lot of fairways, my irons were quite sharp and I putted well....

As stated in the official statement released on the FA’s website, Skrtel will now be unavailable for selection for three consecutive matches as his earlier appeal has been rejected. A similar punishment has been handed to skipper Steven Gerrard who had also stamped Manchester United’s Ander Herrera after coming on as a substitute in the match. The duo will be missing Liverpool’s Premier League ties against Arsenal and Newcastle United, and the FA CUP quarter-final replay against Blackburn....

Anyone expecting a major announcement was disappointed. "I do not intend this discuss this matter publicly," Martin said. "This is the right way to handle the situation." He then left. Martin, the offensive tackle whose departure erupted into a bullying scandal that tainted pro football, was in New York. His first stop was a meeting with Ted Wells, an attorney chosen by the NFL to get to the bottom of what happened between the players and within the Dolphins organization....

The 28-year-old right-hander was removed from New York’s matchup against the Indians on Wednesday at Citi Field in the fourth inning. He threw 62 pitches and surrendered one run on five hits before departing. Stroman underwent an MRI after the game, which revealed left hamstring tightness, and he said one day later he believes he’ll make his next start. The Mets went on to top Cleveland in extra innings Wednesday when JD Davis delivered a walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th....
