Treanor Falls Short in Tewaaraton Again
The third time was not the charm for Niskayuna graduate and Syracuse lacrosse standout Kayla Treanor as the senior did not win the Tewaaraton Award for the nation's top lacrosse player on Thursday night.
Instead, Treanor lost out to Taylor Cummings of Maryland, who became the first ever three-time award winner and beat Treanor again...

Report: Jets Won’t Sign Fitz to One-Year Deal
Late last night, I saw a report that Ryan Fitzpatrick was ready to sign a 1-year contract with the New York Jets and put an end to this offseason saga.
On the surface, it seems like a good deal for both sides. For Fitzpatrick, he gets a chance to earn $12 million like he wants and if he plays well, could cash in again on a short deal next year...

Nico Clareth to Have Knee Surgery
After a stellar freshman season that saw him land on the MAAC all-rookie team, Siena guard Nico Clareth has hit a bit of rough patch this summer.
Obviously, three months would be a Sept. 1 recovery date and would not cause Clareth to miss any of the season or the preparation for the season, but he won't travel to Croatia this offseason with some of the team...
Send Hoffman and Schultz to the AAA All-Star Game
Shaker High School graduate Jeff Hoffman (Rockies) and Maple Hill graduate Jaime Schultz (Rays) are both just one step away from the Major Leagues. Both pitchers are also turning some serious heads in AAA, and now, they need the help of the Capital Region...
‘Thor’ Enters Game in Relief Role (VIDEO)
The Mets lost last night to the White Sox by a score of 6-4 at Citi Field. In fact, the Mets blew a 4-0 lead in that game.
But that loss was not because of Noah Syndergaard. After being ejected this weekend for throwing behind Dodgers 2B Chase Utley, Syndergaard came in relief on Tuesday night for what ESPN reporter Adam Rubin called a "glorified bullpen...
