After David Robinson blows a ninth inning save, Derek Jeter says goodbye to Yankee Stadium in a storybook fashion getting the game winning walk-off single against the Baltimore Orioles for a Yankee 6-5 victory. Take a look (via GIO)

As a Jeter fan you knew he would rise to the occasion. He was built for his clutches and with opportunity you knew damn well he would deliver. Jeter, who rarely shows emotions can finally let out huge sigh of relief. All Derek ever wanted to be was the New York Yankee shortstop and for 20 years he did it well and with class! Jeter finishes his last game in Yankee Stadium going 2 for 5, 3rbi

Watch: JJ Watts scores touchdowns now!

LBS LBS

Okay, okay, JJ Watts grabs his first touchdown reception; but as far as fantasy football is concerned does the Houston defense get the points!  As much as you are paying the high price defensive end why not give him some offensive responsibility.  Note to the National Football League, if JJ Watts is in on offensive goal line situations you may want account for him because this is what the $100 million dollar man can do when a play is called for him: (via Will Brinson)

John Harbaugh gets knocked around trying to celebrate with a heavy weight!

johnharbaugh                                                                                             gifdsports.com

All is well in Baltimore for at least one night as the Ravens beat their arch rivals Pittsburgh Steelers in a laugher 26-6. The nail in the coffin came thanks to Haloti Ngata’s interception. Everybody on the Ravens sidelines were quite jovial after the oskie especially Ravens coach John Harbaugh, who decided to do some celebrating himself as he attempted to do the famous jump and bump with 340 pound Ngata! Like I said attempted to take a look: (via gifdsports.com)

I think for a moment Ngata was like oh ****! He must have forgotten who he was knocking over!

Watch: McCutchen's inside-the-park home run

Bill Streicher/USA TODAY Sports                                                        Bill Streicher/USA TODAY Sports

2013 MVP Andrew McCutchen ties the game with an inside-the-park home run in the fifth inning. It was the first of his career and the Pittsburgh Pirates rally to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-3 Wednesday night. The ball screamed off the center field wall skipping past center fielder Ben Revere and it was off to the races for Andrew McCutchen. There was no denying Andrew as he circles the bases without a slide. Check it out: (via MLB.com)
With the win today the Pirates hold on to the last playoff spot in the National League by a 1 1/2-game lead over Atlanta and Milwaukee.

Watch: Kolten Wong reaches out to make an outstanding catch

MLB.com MLB.com 

 St. Louis rookie second baseman, Kolten Wong, robs a fellow Cincinnati Reds rookie, Billy Hamilton by reaching out and making an outstanding catch that saved a run in the process to end the 4th inning.  With the speed of Hamilton we would have assume he would at least had an RBI double if it wasn't caught by Wong.  Take a look. (via MLB.com)

Plays like that is the reason the St. Louis Cardinals are now leading the National League Central.

Watch: The LA Dodgers bedtime story goes comical by multiple errors

Mark J. Terrill/Associated Press                                                  Mark J. Terrill/Associated Press

As half the nation is sound asleep there is still a game going on out west as the LA Dodgers entertain the San Diego Padres.  If I told you a bedtime story about the Dodgers game it normally would go like this:  Soon to be Cy Young award winner Clayton Kershaw was in his dominating form again THE END!  Not this time the story ends in a bit of humor as the Dodgers do something very odd.  Commited three Dodgers' errors on one play.  In the sixth inning of an already 8-1 lead, the Dodgers entertain the crowd with the worse sequence of events on one play.  Take a look (via MLB.com) Hmmm!  A little league home run! Priceless! Dodgers allow two runs on that play. It's all fun and games when you have a large lead but still an embarrassing moment for the team!

Watch: Lorenzo Cain hits a inside-the-park home run while Tigers collide!

(Elizabeth Conley / The Detroit News)
                                    (Elizabeth Conley / The Detroit News)

The most exciting divisional race in baseball belongs to the American League Central. Division leader Kansas City Royals visits Detroit Tigers for a two-game series with the Tigers trailing by one going into this afternoon's game. Well Detroit takes game one by the final score of 9-5. Plenty of offense in today's game but there was a memorable play that happened in the top of the seventh inning with the Royals down 8-3. Lorenzo Cain of the Kansas City Royals hits a fly ball to right-center field and both Tigers outfielders Don Kelly and Torii Hunter ran into each other. It gets better, Kelly runs over to Hunter not realizing that the ball wasn't in Hunter's glove. Take a look where the ball ended up at: (via MLB.com) Now mind you, Torii Hunter is one of the best defensive outfielders the game has ever seen and the confusion on that play resulted in Hunter and Don Kelly colliding. Whatever happen to the phrase "I GOT IT"?

Hunter is a tough guy, the 38-year-old shook it off and stayed in the game. As for Lorenzo Cain, he was credited for an inside-the-park home run but it wasn't enough. Tigers take game one and trail the Royals by one game in the division.

Roger Goodell drops the ball on the Ray Rice fiasco


With all the resources and billions of dollars the National Football League has, you're telling me that they never saw the video released by TMZ Sports before today. Ray Rice and his fiancee made it publicly that there was an altercation in a elevator and the NFL never got a hold of that video. Who's running this organization? A young woman could have been killed! We already knew Ray Rice admitted to the assault and to only receive a two-game suspension? Roger, I thought you knew all the facts? I thought you knew everything about every person who comes through the National Football League. With all the NFL security teams investigating you mean to tell me you couldn't get a hold of that tape!

For those of you still in the dark here's the clip that the National Football League didn't see until today: (tmz.com)

A two game suspension was all Ray Rice received from the NFL and in a court of law; a man can't be tried twice (double jeopardy). There is no need to increase the punishment, we all know from the first video where Rice was dragging his (fiance/now wife)out of the elevator the punishment should have been more severe than a two game suspension in the first place. On August 28, 2014, Goodell changed the rule on domestic violence from two games to a six game suspension. The actions and the consequences of Ray Rice don't meet up at all. Somebody owes the public answers.  For your sake Commissioner Roger Goodell, Ravens GM Ossie Newsome and Coach John Harbaugh, I hope it never comes out that you all saw this tape prior to today. If so, you need to pack your bags, and take Ray Rice with you.  If you want a quick fix you better get Olivia or Papa Pope on the phone and quick!

Update on the Ray Rice situation.  Baltimore Ravens cut Ray Rice as of 2:30 pm edt.  Commissioner Roger Goodell has suspended Ray Rice indefinitely.  A decision was made and made correctly.

Watch: NASCAR throws a caution flag after fan climbs fence

@NASCARONFOX                                                                              @NASCARONFOX

What fans will do for attention these days! With the help of some liquid courage, fans are getting themselves into more reckless and possibly fatal situations.  With only 69 laps remaining at the Federated Auto Parts 400 officials had to delay the race with a yellow caution flag for security reasons that had nothing to do with the race itself.  This time it was a fan who climbed the fence enjoying a birdseye view from above. Take a look starting at 2 minutes 31secs into the clip (via BOBMANY1)

How did NASCAR allow this to happen. Needless to say this knucklehead was finally brought down by handful of law enforcement and probably will spend the rest of the night with them.

Watch: Taysom Hill hurdle through Longhorns for a score

BYU quarterback Taysom Hill just added himself into the Heisman race after this unbelievable play against the Texas Longhorns Saturday night in Austin, Texas.  Despite the knee brace on the left knee Hill displays some supreme athletic agility maneuvering through the Longhorn defense and hurdling over one of the defensive backs for a score.   Take a look. (via SN0WBLACK_SwellGuy) After a 6-0 halftime lead in Austin this Taysom Hill 30 yard touchdown opened up the floodgates in Austin. Texas fans had to be delighted by the performance in the third quarter by Hill as he provided all the offense going into the fourth. He orchestrated three consecutive drives resulting into three touchdown scores.

Barry Sanders Jr. Gets Pulverized!

20140906_170433 What better way to start off Week 2 of the college football season with division rivals Standford vs USC.  Both teams are biding for an early lead in the Pac-12 conference so expect nothing but smash mouth football for four quarters.  If you don't believe how hard these two teams are hitting then check out this highlight that happened in the first quarter as USC senior linebacker Hayes Pullard pulverized the offspring of Barry Sanders! Take a look: (via Steve Noah  ) Needless to say that wasn't Barry Sr. running the ball as he would have done some sort of Houdini move to evade that vicious hit!  Stanford's quarterback Kevin Hogan probably could have saved young Barry Jr. as he hasn't been back into the game since.

Mo'ne Davis throws out the first pitch at Dodgers Stadium

Dodgers.com                                                                                       Dodgers.com

The biggest star in baseball paid a visit to Chavez Ravine Tuesday night to watch Dodger ace, Clayton Kershaw, dominate the Washington Nationals.  The two-time Cy Young Award winner and on pace to get his third won his major league leading 17th victory striking out eight while giving up two walks and allowing one run.  He lowered his ERA to 1.70.  Its something that Little League superstar Mo'ne Davis can relate to, dominating her opponent as she was the first girl to win a Little League World Series game.  She did it in Kershaw fashion as she pitch a shutout!

Tuesday night Mo'ne had to set aside her beloved Philadelphia Phillies for one night as she was a guest of the Los Angeles Dodgers.  The Dodgers invited her to throw out the first pitch.  It had to be a thrill getting a standing ovation and having Vince Scully announce her name prior to throwing out the ceremonial pitch.  Take a look: (via MLB.com) You knew it was going to be a strike!  Not only did Miss Davis throw out the first pitch she had an encounter with Clayton as you saw above and guess who ask for her autograph.  It was a certain Cuban superstar!

Michael Sam and the Cowboys meet for physical Wednesday

www.ibtimes.com                                                           www.ibtimes.com

It ain't over for Sam yet, he may have a suitor depending on a physical schedule for this Wednesday at Valley Ranch.  According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the openly gay defensive end drafted by the St. Louis Rams will come to Valley Ranch on Wednesday. If everything is in order, Dallas would add him to the practice squad.
Michael Sam was the SEC co-defensive player of the year at Missouri; who was selected by the St. Louis Rams with the 249th overall pick.  Sam made his case in preseason performance, coming up with 11 tackles and three sacks in limited action.  There was no surprise that Sam didn't make the 53-man roster because of the crowded front seven that St. Louis has.  It was the understanding Sam would clear waivers Sunday and sign back with St. Louis.  Monday rolled around and the Rams finalized their 10-player practice squad and Sam wasn't included.

Sam and Coach Fisher had a meeting but nothing was discuss but in the meantime Sam now has a team of interest in Dallas.  This may be a blessing in disguise.  Sam may have an opportunity to play in Dallas whose front seven is questionable and in need of a pass rush.  It also gives owner Jerry Jones the splash he has so desired to for.  He passed on Johnny Manziel which was a smart move because there wasn't a need at the quarterback position but if you want headlines.  Sam is your man!

Watch: Matt Kemp Evades Tag By Blaine Boyer at Homeplate.

thesportsshoutout                                                                               thesportsshoutout

Blocking the home plate controversy has once again ruled its ugly head and this rule has to be adjusted immediately.  There has been several instances so far since the rule has come into play this season.  With a month left in the season it is vitally important to resolved these issues before it becomes a major problem come playoff time.  For example, take a look at today's game between the Dodgers and Padres.  Matt Kemp is on third and heads home on a pass ball thrown by Padres pitcher, Blaine Boyer.  Watch how this play at the plate turns out.
How did Blaine miss that tag! Well I will tell you why; because of the Rule 7.13!  Hesitation once again played a factor in the outcome of this play.  If Boyer was able to block some of the plate then Matt Kemp's "Houdini" efforts goes to waste and he's a dead duck!  Boyer flat-out missed the tag and it was great effort by Kemp evading the tag resulting in a run scored.

Bottom line is I know Major League Baseball is out to protect their players, I get that.  There is a disadvantage for the defensive players.  If the catcher/pitcher is covering home plate with the ball waiting on the baserunner its possible that the play will be overturned which is preposterous.  If I'm the third base coach and I have a baserunner at third, I give him the steal home sign every time.  With the rules in play right now he will automatically be safe at home because of this blocking rule.  Bud Selig, before you hand the reigns over to Rob Manfred, please FIX THIS!
