PITTSFORD, N.Y. — After getting through the initial nerves and big storylines the first day of training camp always provides, the Bills settled in for their second day of work at St. John Fisher University on Thursday. And with it came the camp’s first moment of tempers flaring — a bit earlier than most camps. On a rep during team …

David Ellison’s Skydance Media pledged to abandon all diversity, equity and inclusion programs at Paramount Global in an attempt to win government approval for its $8-billion merger. Paramount already had scaled back diversity programs earlier this year. In a Tuesday letter to Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr, Skydance said it would go further to cancel diversity efforts. “Paramount no …

David Letterman has not officially gone on record reacting to CBS‘ shocking decision to cancel “The Late Show,” which Letterman started in 1993 and hosted for 22 years before passing the baton to Stephen Colbert, but his thoughts on the matter are quite clear thanks to a 20-minute supercut his team posted on the official Letterman YouTube channel. The clip …

The Phillies agreed to a one-year deal with veteran closer David Robertson yesterday and will pay him the prorated portion of a one-year, $16MM contract to step into their bullpen down the stretch. Clubs around the game balked at the 40-year-old’s asking price in free agency over the offseason, but with the trade deadline looming, teams began to circle back …

The expectations for the Lions have changed a lot since the start of the 2023 season. They went into that year with playoff hopes and ended it by blowing a lead in the second half of the NFC Championship Game. Making it that far left some predicting a Super Bowl title last season, but a 15-win regular season went up …

There’s an irony to the finger-pointing in the aftermath of the failed tenure of NFL Players Association executive director Lloyd Howell. During the process that resulted in Howell being hired, the union was ridiculously secretive. No one knew who the candidates were, including the dues-paying members of the union. The board of player representatives, who had the power to vote …

Robertson didn’t work out in Philly in 2019 or 2022. Maybe Dombrowski is the proponent of the “third time is the charm” theory. He better be the proponent of some kind of theory when he has to explain why he bypassed guys like Helsley, Miller, Clase, Bautista, Jansen, and Chapman to sign a 40-year-old who hasn’t pitched since 2024. Of …

The Phillies are bolstering their bullpen for the stretch run by turning to an old friend. Philadelphia has reached an agreement with free-agent reliever David Robertson for the rest of the season, a source told MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand. The deal, which has not been confirmed by the club, will pay Robertson $16 million, prorated for the remainder of the season, …

NEW YORK — Mets legend David Wright stood atop a gold-plated third base after being introduced to a sold-out Citi Field crowd on Saturday. There, he turned to every corner of the stadium, waving at all of the fans assembled to watch him be enshrined in the Mets’ Hall of Fame, his number retired alongside the legends who came before …

The Mets celebrated the best third baseman in their history, just as they are revisiting the bad old days at the position. The No. 5 of the beloved David Wright was retired Saturday, but I am here to write that the Mets still haven’t gotten it right for a sustained period at third base since the last captain’s heyday. Famously, …
