CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Facing a growing investigation that accuses him of sexual misconduct and using racist language at work, Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson announced Sunday that he will sell the NFL team after the season. The team announced on Twitter that Richardson is selling the team, linking to a five-paragraph letter by the franchise's only owner. "I believe it is time to turn the franchise over to new ownership," Richardson wrote, saying he wouldn't begin discussions until after the season. The Panthers, who lost in the Super Bowl in 2016, are in playoff position. "I hope everyone in the organization, both on and off the field, will be firmly focused on one mission: to play and win the Super Bowl," said Richardson, 81.

Woeful Rockies lose to Marlins in 10th inning, slide to 7-24 after sweep
Denver Post, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 03:43 PM

The Marlins finished their three-game broom job with a 5-4 walk-off win in the 10th inning Thursday afternoon at loanDepot park. The Marlins’ Jesus Sanchez lined a single to left off lefty reliever Jalen Beeks to drive in ghost runner Luis Arraez.
