The Detroit Tigers were down after absorbing a difficult loss in the opener of their critical day-night doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins. Their ace took over from there. Justin Verlander kept the Tigers on top in the AL Central, pitching eight innings in a 6-5 victory Tuesday night that restored their two-game lead over the scrappy Twins.
Cowboys running back Felix Jones has a sprained ligament in his left knee and his status for the upcoming game at Denver is uncertain. "It's yet to be determined how long or if he will be out very long," Dallas coach Wade Phillips said Tuesday. "It could get well quickly." An MRI taken Tuesday showed Jones hurt his posterior cruciate ligament during the Cowboys' 21-7…
The Carolina Panthers will likely have a makeshift lineup against Dallas as they try to avoid an 0-3 start. Linebacker Na'il Diggs was declared out of Monday night's game after missing his third straight practice Saturday with bruised ribs. Starting strong safety Chris Harris, top fullback Brad Hoover and defensive end Everette Brown also sat out the workout and are listed as doubtful.
LaDainian Tomlinson has been ruled out of the San Diego Chargers' home game against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, the second straight game he'll miss due to a sprained right ankle. Tomlinson was hurt in a season-opening win at Oakland and missed last Sunday's home-opening loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Derrick Rose tutored the top teens in China on a basketball teaching tour with Dwight Howard. He shot a video game commercial with Kobe Bryant, too, so there really were some fun moments during the offseason no matter how bad it looked at times. That photo of him flashing gang signs wasn't one of his finest moments.
Donovan McNabb is still not able to practice and it appears unlikely he will play this week. McNabb, who suffered a broken rib in a season-opening win over the Carolina Panthers, is expected to miss his second straight game as the Philadelphia Eagles (1-1) meet the Kansas City Chiefs (0-2) at Lincoln Financial Field.
Because of his size, many teams will always try to be physical with Chris Paul. Yet the All-Star guard isn't worried about play getting out of hand if his games are being called by replacement officials. "No, no," Paul said Monday. "I don't worry about replacement referees. End of the day, you're reffing the game." The NBA and its referees union have failed to reach…
Michael Vick got the green light for full reinstatement in the NFL on Thursday when commissioner Roger Goodell said the disgraced quarterback could play later this month instead of waiting until October. Vick, recently signed by the Philadelphia Eagles, will now be able to play in the Sept. 27 game at home against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Michael Vick has scored his first NFL touchdown since the 2006 season, giving the Philadelphia Eagles a 14-7 lead over the New York Jets early in the second quarter. Playing in his second game with the Eagles, Vick lined up at quarterback, faked a handoff and ran up the middle from 2 yards out 25 seconds into the quarter Thursday night.

Vikings quarterback Brett Favre says he might have a cracked rib. Favre told ESPN before Monday night's game at Houston that he hasn't received an official diagnosis but that taking a deep breath caused him some discomfort. He also doesn't plan to wear any kind of special padding, saying "the damage is done." Favre's agent Bus Cook wrote in an e-mail to The Associated…
Do you ever wonder how some of these rappers are maintaining in between dropping albums? Well Yonkers resident and lyrical beast Jadakiss is one of the most respected in the game. However respect doesn’t equal sales, and he is also one of the most underrated MC’s ever when it comes to the Soundscan game. An arrest yesterday though is making many people wonder if Kiss has been getting it in through other means…
Yesterday two men were arrested inside of Jada’s apartment holding weed, heroin, cash, and guns. Jada himself was not on the scene and police do not believe he lives in the actual apartment but his name is on the lease and he is the owner. Police executed a search warrant on the house and found 6 pounds of weed, 5 grams of heroin, large sums of cash and a few guns. Two men were in the apartment and have been charged with everything that was found. At this time Jada is not a wanted man but the Yonkers police department has issued a statement that they would like to talk to him.
These damn rappers… I guess when all else fails right? Hopefully Kiss can keep his nose clean on this one, we don’t need to lose another great one.
Adam Wainwright won his major league-leading 16th game and Albert Pujols had the go-ahead hit in the sixth inning, helping the St. Louis Cardinals complete a three-game sweep of the Washington Nationals with a 2-1 victory on Sunday. Colby Rasmus had two hits and scored twice for the NL Central leaders, who have won five of six and are 29-4 since July 1 in starts by their top three — Wainwright,…
Terrie Williams knows that Black people are hurting. She knows because she’s one of them.
Terrie had made it: she had launched her own public relations company with such clients as Eddie Murphy and Johnnie Cochran. Yet she was in constant pain, waking up in terror, overeating in search of relief. For 30 years she kept on her game face of success, exhausting herself daily to satisfy her clients’ needs while neglecting her own. Terrie finally collapsed, staying in bed for days. She learned her problem had a name — depression — and that many suffered from it, limping through their days, hiding their hurt. As she healed, her mission became clear: break the silence of this crippling taboo and help those who suffer.
Black Pain identifies emotional pain — which uniquely and profoundly affects the Black experience — as the root of lashing out through desperate acts of crime, violence, drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders, workaholism, and addiction to shopping, gambling and sex. Few realize these destructive acts are symptoms of our inner sorrow.
Black Pain encourages us to face the truth about the issue that plunges our spirits into darkness, so that we can step into the healing light.
