In the second half of the NFC championship game, Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell stood by his choice to attempt two fourth-down conversions. However, he sounded less comfortable about another choice he made during the game’s fourth quarter. With 1:05 left in regulation and a 10-point deficit, the Lions found themselves down 1 yard at the San Francisco 49ers’ 1-yard line on third and goal. Detroit had all three timeouts remaining. But the Lions needed to score without calling a timeout in order to have the best chance of regaining possession of the ball. However, the 49ers stopped running…

The Rangers informed reporters that shortstop Corey Seager had surgery today to repair a sports hernia, including Jeff Wilson of Rangers Today.

I apologize; the video player could not load. (100013 is the error code) There’s some motivation here for the Golden State Warriors. Steve Kerr’s team might use some motivation from the San Francisco 49ers, as they have fallen short of expectations. Thankfully, the football team has provided Bay Area supporters with many reasons to rejoice recently, including winning another Super Bowl berth. Notably, George Kittle, a star player for the Niners, took a break before traveling to Las Vegas to witness the Warriors defeat the Philadelphia 76ers. Following the game, Kittle reunited with Stephen Curry. The Warriors and Niners were…

The Boston Celtics, led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, have had three head coaches in its seven-year history. Boston has adjusted to the leadership’s way of thinking despite changes in the personnel, philosophies, and expectations. After trading Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to the Nets, Brad Stevens inherited a Celtics team that was destined for failure when he became head coach in 2013. That season, Brandon Bass led the team in win shares, and they were eliminated from the postseason for the first time in six years. However, Stevens returned them to the postseason the following season. He consistently…

The free-agent market this winter has been a lot of things, including incredibly profitable and excruciatingly slow-moving. However, what has never been is unexpected. Is it asking too much to expect a change in this before spring training begins? Since things are so dreary right now that one can’t help but drift into wishful thinking, it’s a question worth addressing. However, Jon Heyman of the New York Post also thought up an intriguing scenario involving Blake Snell’s free agency, which gave rise to the proposal. “I think [Snell] may be like Prince Fielder, who was never connected to Detroit, right?…

The culture that the Atlanta Braves have created in their clubhouse is one topic they discuss frequently. The guys they have been bringing in, almost all of them, are committed to the winning culture and upholding harmony in the clubhouse in order to achieve it. The Braves have been able to sign players to these team-friendly deals for a reason. Guys want to play in Atlanta because they know the city will take care of them and there won’t be any fuss. Regretfully, not all players who are available are the best people in the world. Baseball history is replete…
