SEE MORE… TEMPE, Ariz. — Three plays into Sunday’s matinee against the San Francisco 49ers, before the foam on beers around State Farm Stadium had a chance to settle, Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride continued his tear of a season. It started with an 11-yard catch along the Cardinals’ sideline, followed by a 38-yard catch, after which the second-year tight end rolled his shoulders forward in a flex and pointed downfield. It was intended to signify the first down he’d gained, but McBride might as well have been pointing to his future. ADVERTISEMENT And it…

FRISCO, Texas — Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb knows he has to do a better job dealing with frustration during games. In last weekend’s 42-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Lamb, who caught four passes for 49 yards, was visibly upset, standing off to the side and at times disengaged from his teammates, including Dak Prescott. “I’ve had to reflect, self-reflect, and I didn’t go the best route to get my end result,” Lamb said. “At the end of the day, I have a job to do and I want to contribute to this team. I do…
READ MORE… back to Dan Campbell’s opening press conference a few years ago when he was named as something of a surprise choice to coach the Detroit Lions. You remember, right? Because it’s awfully hard to forget. “This team is going to kick you in the teeth,” he said that day, Jan. 21, 2021, “and when you knock us down, on the way up we’re going to bite a kneecap off. And we’re going to get up, and if you knock us down again, we’re going to get up and bite off the other kneecap.” …
READ MORE… It was a couple days after another injury threatened to derail yet another season for him, and the Los Angeles Lakers big man was at his breaking point. “I’m like, shaking,” Davis told ESPN last week, jittering his hand to illustrate his state on that day in December. “I’m just so mad and sad at the same time. … Frustrated.” While making a routine post move to score over Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic on Dec. 16, Davis felt a sharp pang, which indicated a complex problem in his right foot: A bone spur had fractured off the navicular bone, which was also…
SEE MORE… Darvin Ham got his chance early Friday night to make a statement. Two hours later, it was the Lakers’ turn. Facing what could be called a midseason crisis, the Lakers needed to approach Friday with the kind of attention and force the moment demanded, a chance to end a losing streak before hosting the red-hot Clippers on Sunday. But instead of failing to meet the moment with effort, the Lakers, in some ways just as they did against the Miami Heat on Wednesday, failed to meet the moment with competency, replacing turnovers and bricks for slow closeouts on shooters and panicked late-game offense.…
SEE MORE… EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — After a disappointing 6-11 season that saw them struggle badly offensively and get off to a slow start defensively, the New York Giants expect to bring back coordinators Mike Kafka and Wink Martindale, according to coach Brian Daboll. The team fired special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey on Monday after six seasons with the team. Kafka guided the 29th-ranked offense that finished 30th in points per game (15.6). Martindale lead a Giants defense that ranked 27th, but it was the team’s best unit and finished tied for the NFL lead with 31 takeaways. “My…
SEE MORE… EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New York Giants have been going down the wrong path since the season began and with roughly two months and seven games to go, they are hopelessly lost. The past two weeks have been the worst. The Giants (2-8) were outclassed by the struggling Raiders 30-6 in Las Vegas’ first game under interim coach Antonio Pierce. That was bad. But it wasn’t as embarrassing as Sunday, when the Dallas Cowboys made Brian Daboll’s team look like it didn’t belong in NFL in a 49-17 blowout.
