Former Towson running back Darius Victor has found a home — even if it’s not the one he might have initially envisioned. After brief stints with the NFL’s New Orleans Saints and Arizona Cardinals, Victor has flourished as a member of the USFL’s New Jersey Generals. He leads the eight-team league in both rushing yards…

Kyle Higashioka had a big night. The Yankees catcher helped guide Nestor Cortes and the Yankees bullpen through a dangerous Rays lineup. Higashioka also hit a three-run homer in the Yankees’ 4-3 win over Tampa Bay at the Stadium Wednesday night. But Higashioka wasn’t exactly happy about how that game went down. The catcher was…

By STEPHEN WHYNO AP Hockey Writer DENVER — Andre Burakovsky scored 1:23 into overtime and the Colorado Avalanche opened the Stanley Cup Final with a 4-3 victory over the two-time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday night. Burakovsky ended it after the Avalanche failed to score on a power play that began late in…

  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…

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. However, if freelancers don’t have a tool or mechanism in place for measuring their working hours, then they end up getting underpaid. Here is a list…

Right-hander Kyle Hendricks’ changeup has been a staple of his big-league success. So it’s not a coincidence that the pitch was at the root of shutting down the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field after nearly two-week layoff for the right-hander. A dead arm and shoulder fatigue had sidelined Hendricks, but time…

Isiah Kiner-Falefa may not have been the big-name shortstop that Yankees fans clamored for last winter. But he may be exactly the shortstop that the Yankees need to make that World Series run though. While he doesn’t have the power of Carlos Correa or Corey Seager, Kiner-Falefa has been an impactful player for the Yankees…
