The Rays’ 8-7 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks Sunday came at an unfortunate cost, as both Pete Fairbanks and Yandy Diaz left the game due to injuries. Fairbanks’ injury is the more serious matter, as manager Kevin Cash told reporters (including Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times) that the closer suffered an apparent lat strain and will be headed to the 15-day injured list. Diaz had to leave the game after being hit in his left elbow with a pitch, but Cash said the infielder is day to day since X-rays and an MRI of Diaz’s elbow were both…

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers reached an agreement this week to release outside linebacker Randy Gregory just a few months after signing him to a one-year contract. The reason for his release was simple — he never showed up.He never showed up to offseason training sessions, offseason meetings or training camp. He never spoke with head coach Todd Bowles.

The worst thing about the uproar that erupted when an Australian breakdancer received zero points for her performance at the Olympics was not the slightly bizarre “kangaroo hop” she performed, say the renowned, New York-based breakdance champions Gabriel “Kwikstep” Dionisio and Ana “Rokafella” Garcia. The particularly devastating angle to the whole mess – “frustrating, insulting, offensive” is how Rokafella puts it; “burning the scene” is how Kwikstep sees it – was that it completely overshadowed the other performers, some of whom did win medals and “made an incredible impression on that dance floor”. It’s a huge shame, they say, because…

The Pontifical Academy for Life was founded in 1994 by St John Paul II to study and provide formation on bioethical issues for the promotion and defense of life. Published only in Italian on July 2, the PAFL’s new booklet says it has “the aim of clearing up confusion” about the Church’s teaching on a number of…
