Browns facing a Giant hurdle: Ugly preseason loss in New York began season’s downward spiral
BEREA — The slide from up-and-coming team to afterthought started Aug. 18 in the swamps of New Jersey in a sea of ugly brown pants. The Browns entered the Meadowlands eager to show ESPN’s preseason “Monday Night Football” audience they were deserving of a regular-season schedule with five prime-time games. They stumbled out of [...]
Browns notes: Tucker’s return for Giants game looks like a go
BEREA — Ryan Tucker won’t guarantee a return to the lineup Monday night versus the Giants, but all signs point in that direction.

INDEPENDENCE — LeBron James will start at small forward tonight, with Zydrunas Ilgauskas at center and probably Ben Wallace at power forward and Mo Williams at point guard.

The Rays amaze: Tampa downs White Sox, goes from 96 losses a year ago to the brink of World Series
CHICAGO — They rushed toward the mound, these remarkable Rays, and immediately formed a circle. Jumping together like fraternity brothers, they resembled party regulars in the postseason. Worst in the majors last year, Tampa Bay will play for a spot in the World Series. “It means everything. We’ve been at the [...]
Red Sox still rule postseason: Defending world champs knock out regular-season champion Angels in four games
BOSTON — The Boston Red Sox brushed aside the 100-win Angels in four games, dismissing their best-in-baseball regular season as last month’s news. When it turns to October, no one dominates like Boston. Jason Bay scored with a headfirst slide on Jed Lowrie’s two-out single in the ninth inning and the [...]
Jenna Fryer: What controversy? NASCAR rule says yellow line is always out of bounds
The speech hasn’t changed in the seven years since NASCAR first delivered it during a 2001 driver’s meeting at Daytona. “This is your warning,” race director David Hoots begins. “Do not go below the yellow line. If in NASCAR’s judgment you go below the yellow line to improve your position, you will be [...]
