“What we have to figure out is whether it makes the most sense to have Craig in a White Sox uniform going forward, or is there a better use of that spot and him perhaps via trade,” Hahn said. “I will say, in our conversations with Craig, he has been outstanding. He just wants to win and is willing to fulfill whatever role our club has in mind.
“The thing I love about them is the way they fought to the very end in that environment, keeping that going to where now you come back from this bye week and you’re energized, you’re rejuvenated,” Nagy said. “You get guys back that maybe were a little bit beat up, you get healthy, and now you go for this run here, this final stretch of the season. You put it all together.”
“Under Coach Hammock, our program has made tremendous strides forward — competitively, academically and socially,” Frazier said in a statement. “We are seeing the tangible results of that progress on the field this year, and over the past two years, we have seen it in the record-setting team GPA and the commitment to doing things the right way on and off the field.”
“I try to come in with energy, come in with positivity, come in and play hard and have fun,” Dosumu said after scoring a career-high 15 points and seven rebounds. “When you’re doing something you love and you have fun, that’s when your natural instincts come out. That’s what I try to do, just come into the game and impact the game whatever way I can.”
“Getting to hit the reset button is very big for pitchers, baseball players in general,” Keuchel said. “It’s something that I’m taking full advantage of right now. I’m in Arizona now. It’s 80 degrees, I’m playing golf, trying to put the bad second half past me but using it at the same time to motivate me to being back to where I want to be.”
Though the league has no timeline for finishing its investigation, the blowback has been swift. Prevea Health, a primary care provider in Wisconsin, ended its partnership with Rodgers the day after his interview went public. State Farm, which has employed Rodgers as a spokesperson for years, said it did not support some of the statements Rodgers made (without specifying which), but that it respects “everyone’s right to make a choice.”
“I think what you’re seeing now, every game that he plays, is that he is just kind of cutting it loose and not playing worrying about trying to prove anything to anyone,” Riddick said. “Really just kind of letting his natural ability shine though. In a couple games, when he first started playing, I think he would be the first to tell you he was trying to get through too many progressions, trying to prove he was a pocket passer, trying to prove he could quote unquote process and dissect defenses as well as anyone. The truth is he wasn’t really ready to do that. Now, especially with the last game they just played against San Francisco, he has just decided to say, ‘The hell with all that. I’m going one to two. If it’s not there, guess what? I run 4.3. I’m 230 pounds. I’m the hell outta here and I’m gonna make things happen on my own and I’m gonna move the chains and I’m gonna get us to another first down and then we’ll start again.’
“After the game, Cole came up to me and said, ‘We’re almost there. We just have to keep working,’” Fields said. “So seeing that, seeing the explosive plays, seeing our drives get put together, it just gives our offense more confidence and pushes us to work harder because we know we’re on the brink of being a great offense. So we’re just going to keep working.”
In the moment, Cassius Marsh thought little of it. He was on his way back to the Chicago Bears sideline Monday night, fresh off a clutch fourth-quarter sack, followed by a spinning martial arts kick celebration and a couple of seconds looking toward the Pittsburgh Steelers bench. His adrenaline was surging.
The ejection and probable suspension could be the least of Jokic’s problems, as a furious Jimmy Butler repeatedly beckoned Jokic to “Bring yo ass to the back!” In an understatement, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra called it a “dangerous, dirty play,” saying “it’s absolutely uncalled for.”
