The first move is outside, around the initial teammate standing in way. The next is inside, cutting back across the field toward the coach standing in the role of the quarterback. The drill is simple. The defensive linemen aren’t wearing pads — just a jersey, shorts and a helmet — and neither are the coaches.…

A regular employee is paid on the basis of the working hours set by company but freelancers are mostly paid according to the time they spend on the project.

On Opening Day in 1902, Orioles fans were an eager lot. Much was expected of their team, a favorite to win it all in the second year of American League play. How good was Baltimore? The lineup boasted five future baseball Hall of Famers, three of whom — infielder John (Muggsy) McGraw, outfielder Joe Kelley…

North Korea’s test-fire of eight short-range ballistic missiles into the ocean this month was in many ways utterly ordinary. The Kim Jong Un regime has launched missiles 18 times in 2022, an average of one round every nine days, and short-range missiles have been a favorite of the isolated totalitarian state in recent years. Also standard was the test’s…

Kyle Higashioka had a big night. The Yankees catcher helped guide Nestor Cortes and the Yankees bullpen through a dangerous Rays lineup.

President Joe Biden is taking victory laps for last year’s reduced budget deficit. No one would be happier than me to see this number fall in a significant way. But the decline has nothing to do with the president’s policies, and it changes little about the dangers of our fiscal situation. According to monthly reporting…

  California is a funny place. A few years ago, marijuana users were put in jail, while smoking cigarettes was everywhere, even in hospitals. Today, pot has been legal for recreational use since 2016, but cigarette and other tobacco use increasingly is banned. Sure, it makes sense to ban using either in public places, and…

The idea of a moral victory in baseball offers little solace to the losing ballclub, but there’s still something to take out of the Orioles’ loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday night. Baltimore had faced a five-run deficit and came back to tie the game, the kind of effort that might be lost…

An athlete using their haters as their motivation is the biggest cliche in sports. But Mekhi Becton, the Jets’ polarizing former first-round pick, is carrying motivation on his chest, literally. During Becton’s media availability on Wednesday, he sported a shirt that read “Big Bust” circled with words like “Fat, lazy, injury prone, out of shape.”…

Ugly, sloppy baseball. The Mets did nothing right in Wednesday’s 10-2 defeat to the Brewers, with the pitching staff and Francisco Lindor creating the most disappointment. Lindor not only went 0-for-3 at the plate with two strikeouts, he flubbed a grounder that might’ve saved the Mets from such an embarrassing scoreline. Simply put, it was a…
