New York went 8-1 over its first stretch in the Bronx this season, its most wins in a homestand since going 9-1 from July 17-26, ..>> view originalReport: Giants will be in Washington on Thanksgiving night
Getty ImagesThe NFL schedule will be released on Thursday night, which leaves a little less than 12 hours for news of the league’s 256-game slate to leak to the public. One such leak reportedly involves the Thanksgiving night game.

Here’s the thing: Porzingis has every right to be upset. Look around the league at what other teams are doing to foster the development of their young stars. The Bucks have built their offense around Giannis Antetokounmpo, another freakishly gifted young athlete, allowing him to be a 6-foot-11 point guard and become a true NBA playmaker. They’re in the playoffs and making noise. The Nuggets have built their team around Nikola Jokic, creating an offense that revolves around his ability to score ..>> view original2017 NFL Mock Draft: Browns walk away with best player and QB in draft after trade
There are have reportedly been rumblings about the Browns considering whether to take Myles Garrett or Mitchell Trubisky at No. 1 overall. Come on. That's not a debate, not in a league where executives are consistently fired for being aggressive. Bill Belichick can do what he wants because he has tons of job security. The Browns -- well, it's not a secure job. But Cleveland has put itself in a position to be aggressive in this draft, and in the latest version of my mock (..>> view originalNFL Draft 2017: Eagles land 3 defensive players in ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr.'s 3-round mock

OAKLAND, Calif. — Klay Thompson had 41 career blocks in 65 career playoff games for the Golden State Warriors coming into Wednesday night's Game 2 against the Portland Trail Blazers. Far from the gaudy numbers you'd see from a rim protector planted in the paint, sure.

APThe Patriots visited the White House on Wednesday, an event that generated plenty of photos. One specific photo has been compared to a specific photo from their last visit to D.C. to celebrate a Super Bowl win, because it seems to show a much smaller contingent for the trip to see President Donald Trump. Not so, says the Patriots.
