Injured Indianapolis Colts safety Bob Sanders, running back Joseph Addai and cornerback Kelvin Hayden all practiced Wednesday. They could be healthy enough to play Sunday against archrival New England. “I expect that they will all be out there (Wednesday), and if all goes well, I expect them to play Sunday,” coach Tony Dungy said before [...]
Save the jokes, the taunts and all those insults about the losingest team in sports. The Philadelphia Phillies just won themselves a World Series. If that sounds strange, it was strange. Nearly 50 hours after Game 5 started but was stopped by rain, Brad Lidge and the Phillies finished off the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 [...]
Chris Bosh just about single-handedly carried the Toronto Raptors into the playoffs last season. Now he has a much-improved supporting cast. Bosh had 27 points and 11 rebounds to help the Raptors beat the Philadelphia 76ers 95-84 on Wednesday night in the opener for both teams. Jermaine O’Neal added 17 and Jason Kapono had 15 [...]
From the night before, little changed. Tony Dungy, in his seventh season as the Colts’ head coach, said when he reviewed the tape from a double-digit loss to the Tennessee Titans on Monday night, there were some positives to be seen early. The Colts had energy, Dungy said. They played with enthusiasm. And at times, [...]
The Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors both suffered first-round playoff exits last season. They believe they can go farther after each added an All-Star big man in the offseason.

When, with an entire city on the edge of its seat, the Philadelphia Phillies’ best pitcher on the mound and a championship within reach, Commissioner Bud Selig [...]
Major League Baseball is going ahead with World Series Game 5. Two days after Philadelphia and Tampa Bay were suspended after 5½ innings because of rain with the score 2-2, the game was set to resume at 8:37 p.m. Wednesday, baseball spokesman Rich Levin said. The game time temperature was forecast to be about 40 [...]
Mike Knuble can’t explain why Philadelphia has dominated the Atlanta Thrashers since he signed with the Flyers as a free agent four years ago. Knuble, Simon Gagne and Joffrey Lupul each scored two goals as Philadelphia earned its 11th consecutive victory against the Thrashers 7-0 on Tuesday night. “They are a better team than they [...]
Don’t call the Tennessee Titans the NFL’s best team just yet. They’re happy with being the league’s last unbeaten club and grabbing a chokehold on the AFC South away from the Indianapolis Colts. LenDale White ran for two touchdowns, Chris Hope intercepted Peyton Manning twice and the Titans routed the Colts 31-21 on Monday night. [...]
In the middle of all this World Series chaos, Joe Maddon sounded rather calm. Bumped to a hotel in Delaware until Game 5 resumes Wednesday night — if the weather cooperates — the Tampa Bay manager and his young team rode out the storm together. “I referred to it as kind of like getting snowed [...]
