Cornell’s new-look QB system hopes to right ship in 2018

Don’t be fooled by what the Cornell football depth chart reads at the quarterback position — at least this early in the 2018 season.

Lynn falters in 6th inning of Miami finale as Yankees lose

Lance Lynn has been viewed as a welcome addition to a pitching staff in need of reinforcements, but the veteran ran out of gas in a five-run sixth inning on Wednesday.
