CJ Spiller: I know I'm a great player
In a mad scramble to add depth to their running back depth chart, the Jets signed and cut Knile Davis before snagging 2012 Pro Bowl running back C.J. Spiller. And for those cautious of the now 29-year-old running back -- he has 121 rushing yards over the last two seasons -- Spiller has a message. "I know I'm a great player," Spiller told NJ.com's Darryl Slater Wednesday. "I know I can play in this league. My confidence is not down, so I'm excited about the opportunity that I have here." He adde..>> view originalNBA scores 2016: Kevin Durant got angry and crushed the Thunder's undefeated season
The first meeting between Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook was the most anticipated game of the NBA regular season. Westbrook spent the entire summer taking subtle shots at his former teammate while Durant regularly touted how ‘selfless’ his new team was. The hype for this game was suffocating, but it still managed to be wildly entertaining even as the Warriors came away with a blowout win. Durant finished with 39 points and matched a career-high with seven three-pointers as Golden State crui..>> view originalCity releases details on Friday's Cubs World Series parade

If there is one thing we can take away from Golden State's slow start, it's this: Achieving Peak Warriors was never easy. It just seemed so because Golden State made it look so effortless last season. The easiest way to comprehend a team scorching its way to the most dominant regular season in NBA history is to believe its success is a force of nature. Arranging Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, and Harrison Barnes in such a way could only yield a power beyond contr..>> view originalReplacing David Ortiz: Exploring A Few Options For The Red Sox

The first week hasn't gone as expected for the Dallas Mavericks. Still in search of their first win, the Mavericks (0-4) host only their second home game Friday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. The winless start is obviously a source of concern, but the Mavs aren't hitting the panic button. At least not yet. "It's frickin' four games in," Dirk Nowitzki said after Wednesday's 97-81 setback at Utah. "You've just got to keep battling and then stop the bleeding at home.
