Center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury and the New York Yankees agreed to a massive seven-year, $153 million contract Tuesday night, capping a wild day that saw a number of trades and the Yankees lock up their second big prize of the offseason. Ellsbury's deal is pending a physical that could come Wednesday, a formality for the 30-year-old leadoff hitter who spurned Detroit, Seattle and his former team, the Boston Red Sox, to abscond to the Bronx. The $153 million includes a buyout for an eighth-year option, a source told Yahoo Sports, and will count as a $21.86 million luxury-tax hit. If exercised, the option would take the deal’s total value to $169 million. [Also: A flurry of trades, signings and agreements highlight wild day in MLB] New York isn't done, either. Sources told Yahoo Sports the Yankees will continue to pursue the other pricey outfield client of agent Scott Boras, Shin-Soo Choo, along with the top free agent on the market, second baseman Robinson Cano. The Yankees belie...

When fans rushed the field in jubilation after Auburn's win over Alabama on Saturday, one fan apparently left a loved one on the field. According to Birmingham's Fox 6, it's the second time that the crew has found ashes on the field after the game. If you were an Auburn fan and wanted your ashes left at Jordan-Hare, the aftermath of Saturday's game has to be the pinnacle, right? We can't imagine a scenario that gets any better than that. And hopefully that other game wasn't either the Western Carolina or the Florida Atlantic games. That would be an ultimate case of eternal regret.   Frantic 4th quarter in Alabama-Auburn showdown Yahoo Sports’ Evan Doherty recaps the wild finish in the Tigers’ 34-28 victory.

  On Sunday the Texans were pushing the Patriots around the field in the first half.But much like the Denver-New England game the week before the Patriots made some halftime adjustments and ended up winning the game 34-31.There are two possibilities here: that the Patriots are exceptionally good at changing game plans on the fly or as Texans defensive end Antonio Smith suggests there's something suspicious going on.I'm very suspicious Smith said to a group of reporters after the game.I just think it will be a big coincidence if that just happened by chance.I don't know for sure but I just know it was something that we practiced this week Either teams are spying on us or scouting us.Or possibly the Texans are a terrible football team but we understand why Smith wouldn't take that explanation.Smith said the team had practiced new defensive schemes this week that would not have shown up on film but the Patriots appeared prepared for the new look.The Texans were up by 10 at...

WASHINGTON (AP)  Leading congressional Republicans praised President Barack Obama's decision to seek lawmakers' approval before punishing Syria for a chemical attack. But it was far from clear whether they would support such a strike in a region rife with warfare and the specter of retaliation. "I do believe (Syria) should not have impunity," for the Aug. 21 attack near Damascus, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said by telephone. "But we need to understand what the whole scope of consequences is. What the president may perceive as limited...won't stop there." The White House was expected to brief members of Congress throughout the weekend, part of what's certain to be a full-court press to persuade lawmakers to sign off on what Obama described as a narrowly-focused operation that could be carried out anytime over the next few weeks. Obama's decision to consult Congress came after lawmakers widely demanded he seek authorization under the War Powers Ac...

The decision to put Mark Sanchez in a meaningless preseason game, after Geno Smith played poorly and it was clear that Sanchez was the Jets' best option to begin the regular season at quarterback, was a little strange.Rex Ryan's explanation was much, much strangr.Play Y! Sports Fantasy Football: Create or join a league today!]Sanchez was inserted in the game in the third quarter, and was under constant pressure with the backup offensive line protecting him. He got crushed by Giants defensive lineman Marvin Austin and hurt his shoulder. That was his last play. Ryan said he didn't know the extent of the damage to Sanchez's shoulder.So why was a cold Sanchez in this preseason game with the backup line, which was a recipe for disaster? Take it away, Rex ...

wishing a sports drink around in your mouth and then spitting it out might sound like a nonsensical way to boost performance, but it's been nearly a decade since research first suggested that rinsing improves your workout. A study by sports scientists at University of Central Lancashire this April found that during an hour-long workout, cyclists who swished carbohydrate-rich sports drinks for longer covered more distance and felt less tired than after a five-second rinse or rinsing with water. How the trick works may surprise you. Brain scans show that specific regions light up when carbs are in your mouth. The longer you rinse, the more time the carbs have to stimulate sensors in your brain, says study author Lindsay Bottoms. The concept of mouth rinse supports the idea that the brain is very much playing a key role in fatigue, says Bottoms. Swishing is most beneficial during relatively short, intense workouts. Not only can the rinse give you a performance boost of about 2 percen...

ATLANTA  For most fliers, the standard slap-your-forehead moment occurs after opening a suitcase upon arrival and discovering that they forgot to pack their prescription medicine, running shoes or perfect necktie. Then there are the travelers, few but growing in number, who have a similar reaction, albeit more severe, over an item that they forgot to unpack before boarding. The forehead slap is usually followed by a fine and sometimes a night in jail. Across the country, people are increasingly being caught at security checkpoints with firearms in their carry-on bags. Nowhere does this happen more often than at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, the nation’s busiest airport and a magnet of sorts for gun-carrying fliers. Through last week, the Transportation Security Administration had seized 67 guns this year at Hartsfield-Jackson, putting it ahead of last year’s pace and giving the airport a comfortable lead over Dallas-Fort Worth International in its defense of a dubious t...

You don't go to a 24 Hours of LeMons race for the speed. Because for race cars that cost no more than $500, speed isn't a thing. You go to a LeMons race to witness the barking mad, clapped-out vehicles perilously navigate turns at 6 mph. You go to watch the officiators utilize the "Wheel of Misfortune" to decide a punishment for lousy driving, such as the "Mime Your Crime" penalty, where the driver must paint their face in white and mime their infraction before being allowed back on course. And if you went to last weekend's LeMons race at New Jersey Motorsports Park, you could tell your friends you saw the premier of the Upside Down Race Car, a Speedycop production created by the wackiest of LeMonsters, Jeff Bloch.Under his Speedycop banner, Bloch and his cronies have been famed for their Franken-wheel creations, leading up to the debut of the Spirit of LeMons--a 1956 Cessna 310 and a minivan engine blended to create a road-racing airplane. All in, Spee...

Astute watchers of Monday's Oakland Athletics-Toronto Blue Jays game might have noticed three guys sitting behind home plate who looked like they could run out on the field and play some ball. That's because they could.A trio of Boston Red Sox  Dustin Pedroia, Jonny Gomes and Jarrod Saltalamacchia  were spotted watching the Jays and A's, from two row behind home plate, proving that some ballplayers can't stay away from the game, even on their day off.The Red Sox just finished a stretch of 17 games in 17 days on Sunday, then flew from Kansas City to Toronto, where they'd have an off day before starting a series with the Blue Jays on Tuesday. It was their first day off since July 25.What to do with that free time? Sleep in? Go to the mall and buy some new underwear? Get a haircut? Saltalamacchia more than Pedroia. Well, maybe  but these three Red Sox took in some matinee baseball first. How often do you see that? Worth a note: That's Rush singer and Blue Jays meg...

Think gaming is a big waste of time? Don’t bother telling the members of Sweden’s Alliance pro gaming team, because they will laugh in your face. And possibly throw money in it. The five-man squad won a staggering 1.4 million at the Defense of the Ancients 2 DOTA 2 world championships in Seattle this weekend  the largest single-event prize in pro gaming history. Created by Valve Software, DOTA 2 is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game pitting two teams of five against one another in strategic, fortress-destroying fights. Valve put up the lion’s share of The International DOTA 2 Tournament’s total prize money, which came out to nearly $3 million. Sixteen teams from a dozen countries slugged it out over the course of the five-day even, with Alliance and the Ukranian team Na’Vi winding up on top. Over 1,700 spectators crowded Seattle's Benaroya Hall to watch the five-game Finals, which culminated in a match so awesome it left the DOTA 2 official blog gasping for air.“In a Tou...

For many athletes, retirement means no more year-round training, and getting fat on the couch. For many NFL linemen, it's the opposite. Years of keeping on as much weight as possible to battle in the trenches takes a toll, and they want to get back to being at a healthier size. Such is the case for Jeff Saturday, who looks a whole lot different than the last time we saw him on a football field in the Pro Bowl. Saturday, the longtime Colts center who was with Green Bay last year, took in Sunday's Colts-Bills preseason game and it was shocking to see the picture of him from Indianapolis Star photographer Matt Kryger on Twitter. Here's a side-by-side comparison:A couple weeks ago, ESPN's Ed Werder reported Saturday was 230-240 pounds, after weighing a listed 295 last season. That's a lot of weight to drop in about six months, and good for Saturday. We can also rule out any idea of a NFL comeback, unless he wants to play safety or something.

Christina Aguilera is back! All eyes were on the 32-year-old "Your Body" singer when she appeared at an NBC press event in Beverly Hills on Saturday to promote her big return to "The Voice." Not only was the show mentor showing off her slim, trim new frame, which there has been buzz about in recent months, but she also unveiled a serious style makeunder.Wearing a curve-accentuating pink minidress with a flirty ruffled bottom, Aguilera looked like she did in her early days. The subtle, natural look (including her barely there makeup!) was a departure from how we've come to expect her on the reality series. There were no rhinestones, bustiers, hotpants, spiked berets, or other attention-grabbing fashions which have become part of her signature style on "The Voice." Just a beautiful, fresh-faced Aguilera, looking tanned, toned, rested, and ready for Season 5. This isn't the first inkling we've had that her return (after sitting out Season 4) will ...

CAIRO (AP)  Egypt's interior minister on Sunday pledged to deal decisively with any attempts to destabilize the country, a thinly veiled warning to supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi occupying two squares in Cairo in a month-long stand-off with the security forces.The warning came as authorities said that the death toll in weekend clashes between Mohammed Morsi's Islamist backers and security forces near one of those sit-ins had reached 72, in the deadliest single outbreak of violence since the July 3 military coup. "I assure the people of Egypt that the police are determined to maintain security and safety to their nation and are capable of doing so," Mohammed Ibrahim told a graduation ceremony at the national police academy. "We will very decisively deal with any attempt to undermine stability," said Ibrahim, who is in charge of the police.Ibrahim's comments added pressure on Morsi's backers three weeks after the Islamist president was ...

Imagine a world in which people can keep tabs on all of the large great white sharks that roam the world’s oceans.Lots more would be learned about apex predators that, by and large, remain mysterious. While tht day may never come, scientists are getting closer, and this week a group called OCEARCH has announced that it will embark on the most ambitious tagging project in U.S. history. OCEARCH, led by Chris Fischer and Greg Skomal, on Tuesday will embark on a month-long expedition off Cape Cod, during which it plans to capture, tag, and release as many as 20 great white sharksDuring the tagging process, a team of scientists will take samples and conduct other studies they say will help answer a lot of unknowns.    It’s hoped that more knowledge will help scientists pursue greater protections in areas the sharks frequent. On the West Coast, different scientists have determined that many adult white sharks that gather seasonally at seal rookeries off California and at Mexico’s...

Boston Red Sox designed hitter David Ortiz officially flipped his lid on Saturday night. After striking out in the seventh inning against Jairo Asencio, Ortiz turned his attention to home plate umpire Tim Timmons to argue a 3-0 strike call earlier in the at-bat. To Timmons' credit, he let Ortiz show him up by pointing to his helmet  indicating he felt the pitch in question was too high  and give him an earful all the way back to the dugout without reacting. In most cases, Ortiz's actions constitute an immediate ejection, but Timmons was willing to move on had he dropped his case peacefully. Instead, Ortiz went bonkers and ended up smashing the bullpen phone in the visiting dugout at Camden Yards into smithereens with his bat (see: 1:22 in the video). Ortiz's violent meltdown didn't really fall under the entertainment category. It was actually very dangerous and a little scary as shrapnel from the bat and phone flew all over the dugout. In fact, some of the shrapnel near...

According to the Long Beach Press-Telegram, Helen and Les Brown died on July 16 and 17 respectively , both were 94.Zach Henderson, owner of the Ma N'Pa Grocery in Long Beach, Calif., said he saw the couple almost daily and called their relationship "a wonderful blessing.About a year ago, [Helen] had her hand on his face and they were cheek to cheek," Henderson said.
