Terrapins excited for fresh start in Big Ten

A new season means a fresh start, and the change of scenery adds an additional layer of unknowns, from scouting to logistics. Maryland coach Mark Turgeon pointed out Thursday that while the uniforms and venues have changed, lines can still be drawn between styles of play, and that's what matters on the court.

Confident Giants know they haven’t finished Nationals yet in NLDS

The Giants have won 10 consecutive postseason games stretching back to their run to the 2012 World Series championship. That's tied for the third-longest playoff run of all time. Simply put, they know what they're doing when the calendar turns to October, and their confidence is palpable.

Jordan Zimmermann ready to follow no-hitter with NLDS Game 2 start

Zimmermann isn't the demonstrative type. The "Oh, no — oh, yes!" celebration of the dramatic final out of his no-hitter Sunday against the Marlins was about as much as emotion as fans have seen from the right-hander. Except maybe in his lights-out relief appearance against the Cardinals in the Game 4 of the 2012 NLDS.

Proving A Point: Redskins’ Bacarri Rambo vows to make impact in second year

Coming out of the weekend of the 2013 NFL Draft, many lauded safety Bacarri Rambo as a great value pick for the Redskins in the sixth round. But when the lights came on and the observers who mattered began making their evaluations, Rambo's star fell about as fast as it could have for a rookie handed a starting job from Week 1.

DeAngelo Hall confident in place among best NFL corners

"As a corner, if you don't feel like you're the best, you've got a problem right there," he said. "I never said I was the best, I would be a fool to think 11 years in I'm the best in the game right now. [But] I definitely think I'm pretty successful at doing what I do."

Caussin, who signed on Tuesday as a free agent, hasn't played in an NFL game since the 2011 season. He made six appearances and got a pair of starts for the Bills that year, and those games were responsible for his career totals of five receptions for 41 yards.

John McCain: I’d drop Redskins nickname if I owned team

Speaking at the annual Associated Press Sports Editors conference in Arlington, Virginia, the Arizona Republican was dismissive of last week's decision by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to cancel some of the team's "Redskins" trademarks but said the team should listen to objections about the name.

Ian Darke: Talking to America’s favorite soccer announcer

"If it's a duller game, like a goalless draw ... I always picture people sitting at home on their sofa with a beer and think, 'I'd be bored if I was sitting at home watching this.' You'd better come up with something to make it a bit spicier."
