The Giants had already taken care of what would have been their toughest cut, DFA’ing Alex Dickerson last week. […]
Crawford goes on to discuss the player and person that Posey was, and the memories the two shared together from even before their respective Giants careers.

Posey then thanked everyone from his parents to his kids, his agent, his teammates and coaches, the training staff and the front office. And that sense of […]
Green believes this was the best move for Mannion right now at this stage of his life and career. Golden State holds his rights if he’s to return to the NBA, and his contract with Virtus Bologna has an out after one season. In the G League bubble, he played nine games with the Santa […]
Durant is back with Team USA this summer for the Olympics, and is genuinely excited to play in Tokyo for the first time and to team up with a handful of new faces. “You know what I think is going to be fun? Seeing Steve Kerr and Draymond,” Kleinman said to Durant on the Out […]
Green was one of five celebrity guests on the episode that debuted Friday night, alongside Tom Brady, Kid Cudi, Chelsea Handler and Paul Rivera, for a discussion about the grind of winning, charting one’s own path, mental health and sports media.
