Aaron Judge or Cal Raleigh? MLB on FOX Crew Debate Who is the AL MVP
One is arguably the face of baseball with a Hall of Fame résumé. The other is MLB's breakout star with the best nickname in baseball. Yankees superstar Aaron Judge or Mariners slugger Cal Raleigh (aka the Big Dumper) are the clear-cut frontrunners for this year's American League MVP race. Who did the MLB on FOX analysts pick?Derek Jeter: Aaron Judge"[Raleigh] has had the more historic season when it comes to breaking records, whether it's the Mariners record, switch-hitter record, catchers' record. But in my opinion, the MVP is Aaron Judge. You take him off that team, they don't win."David Ortiz: Cal Raleigh"I love Aaron Judge, he's done an incredible job for the New York Yankees. But Raleigh doing it as a catcher is almost impossible. 159 games, you don't see many catchers doing that."Alex Rodriguez: Aaron Judge"Judge is the MVP once […]

NFL fines Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon $100K for sideline altercation with Emari Demercado
The NFL fined Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon $100,000 for his altercation with running back Emari Demercado in their loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, the league announced on Tuesday afternoon.Gannon will not face further discipline."We have been in contact with the NFLPA and the club, which addressed the matter," the NFL said in a statement. "There is no further action from the league."Gannon erupted on Demercado in Sunday's loss and hit him as he walked away after Demercado fumbled the ball just before crossing the goal line — which negated what should have been a 72-yard touchdown run that would have put the Cardinals up 28-6 in the fourth quarter. Instead, it helped spark the Titans' comeback and helped push them to the wild 22-21 win.Though he initially downplayed the incident and said that "it's never about […]
