Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was fined $14,037 by the NFL for unsportsmanlike conduct after he fought with Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey last week. Beckham and Humphrey were flagged after they tangled in the third quarter of Cleveland’s 40-25 win. Humphrey, who played Beckham aggressively the entire game, was assessed the same $14,037 fine. The league decided not to levy fines for fighting on both players. First-time offenders are fined $35,096, according to the league’s fine schedule. Humphrey and Beckham began shoving on a running play before grabbing each other’s face masks and going to the ground. Humphrey pinned Beckham and appeared to choke him before being pulled off. Beckham said he will appeal the fine. He'd been fined previously for a fight with ex-Carolina cornerback Josh Norman and could have been fined up to $100,000 for a second offense. Browns center JC Tretter was also fined $14,037 for unsportsmanlike conduct after coming to … [Read more...] about University of Kansas apologizes for Snoop Dogg’s performance

Broncos 20, Chargers 13 (Broncos win! Broncos win!)
Paul Klee's rapid reactions from Southern California after the Broncos beat the Chargers: 1. Colorado’s long nightmare is over, and Vic Fangio celebrated his first win as a head coach with hugs from his players. The losing streak ended after eight games and 308 days. And the Broncos were not afraid to trash talk the Chargers through every second of a mostly lopsided win Sunday afternoon at Dignity Health Sports Park. The Broncos had not won a game since Dec. 2, 2018, so it’s no wonder Kareem Jackson was feeling his oats after a touchdown-saving tackle of Austin Ekeler to close the first half. Denver’s defense locked up the win with a clutch goal-line stand, and the Broncos are back on the board. Just one question: What took so long?2. One key to the Broncos' rebuild: keeping Mike Munchak around. If the offensive line guru is strutting around UCHealth Training Center, no one should blink an eye. The most important acquisition of the offseason, Munchak is molding … [Read more...] about Broncos 20, Chargers 13 (Broncos win! Broncos win!)

Laver Cup officials lay out their plans for Boston 2020
The 38-year-old Federer, who created the Laver Cup to honor its 81-year-old namesake, has never played tennis in Boston. In fact, he’s never set foot in Boston. “He’ll be excited,” said Federer’s longtime agent, Tony Godsick. “He knows the history, not just of tennis but sports in general. He’ll be excited to come here and talk about that. It was an easy decision in the end.” Godsick was in town with Laver Cup CEO Steve Zacks to begin working on details for tournament, which will be held Sept. 25-27, at TD Garden. Godsick and Zacks spent Monday morning at Harvard Business School, where students in Anita Elberse’s class grilled the two in a case study about the event. There have been just three host cities of the Laver Cup: Prague two years ago, Chicago last year, and Geneva this year. “Boston hasn’t had tennis, and that checked a very important box for us,” said Godsick. “Huge market, important box … [Read more...] about Laver Cup officials lay out their plans for Boston 2020
