The “He” is Bryce Harper, and the words reportedly came from an unnamed “top National League executive” to Robert Murray of FanRag.com. They caused Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo to offer a profane, on-the-record response Tuesday to The Washington Post. Rizzo called the exec’s anonymous rip job “cowardly,” “gutless” and “chickens—,” and he didn’t stop there.

But not necessarily as a player. Watson was asked during the Hero World Challenge what would make a good 2019, and he didn’t hesitate. “I have been bugging Mr. Tiger Woods about being a vice captain for Australia,” Watson said. “I would love the honor of doing that again.

“We’re a little less terrible,” he said about the team, via Pewter Report. Ayers joined the Bucs this offseason to help improve a weak pass rush in Tampa Bay. The reason he’s not boasting about his team is because talk is cheap. He wants them to go out there and prove that they aren’t terrible before claiming anything else.

Playing in a division that includes three playoff teams from last season is a good way to start in a hole. The Buccaneers have only two other 2017 postseason teams (Eagles and Steelers) on the docket, but they still face the fourth toughest schedule in the NFL with their opponents’ combined winning percentage from last season at .531. And that’s before you factor in the improvement teams like San Francisco and Chicago have made this offseason....

He was traded to Portland prior to his rookie season. General manager John Hammond announced the signing Thursday, and the team did not disclose terms.
Of the Bucks’ starters, only Eric Bledsoe and Tony Snell have every been out of the postseason’s first round (each made one appearance in a conference semifinal), and on the bench, George Hill is the only player with extensive playoff experience, at least until Pau Gasol gets healthy. As a franchise, the Bucks have not won a series since 2001, so there’s some pressure on this bunch to back up what they did in the regular season....
That alone is probably enough to get 82-year-old Selig into the Baseball Hall of Fame, overlooking his role in the 1994 strike or stopping the 2002 All Star Game or, in general, having all the charisma of a used car salesman.
