Wife of Patriots exec blasts Titans

The wife of former Tennessee GM and current Patriots senior adviser Floyd Reese called a Nashville radio station Thursday to hammer the Titans and coach Jeff Fisher, accusing the franchise of treating her husband poorly and saying she was hoping New England would have scored 100 points against Tennessee last Sunday.

Sally Reese, the wife of Patriots senior adviser Floyd Reese, called WGFX-FM in Nashville on Thursday to defend her husband, who she says lost a power struggle with Fisher. Reese was let go by the Titans when his contract expired in January 2007. After spending a year working for ESPN, Reese was hired by Bill Belichick on Jan. 27.

"He kept Jeff from getting fired two times," Reese said of her husband, who was with the franchise for 21 years. "So if he'd let him get fired, he'd still be there. Hello? That's hindsight. ... Sunday I was hoping they'd run it to 100. And I love Tennessee. All you Tennessee people, my dad's...

Angels rally to send ALCS back to NY

With just seven outs separating them from elimination, the Angels rallied from a 6-4 deficit, pushing across three two-out runs in the bottom of the seventh inning against the Yankees to win, 7-6, and send the American League Championship Series back to New York. The Yankees, up 3-to-2 in the best-of-seven series, will now look to advance to the World Series at home.
 
The Angels carried a 4-0 lead into the seventh inning before the Yankees erupted for six runs in the top of the inning, all with two outs. Mark Teixeira's three-run double, Hideki Matsui's run-scoring single and a two-run triple by Robinson Cano had the Yankees on the cusp of clinching the pennant.
 
But the Angels came back in the bottom of the inning against New York. Vlad Guerrero's run-scoring single off Phil Hughes with two outs trimmed the Halos' deficit to 6-5, and Kendry Morales followed with a two-run single for the final margin.

Bruins fall to Philly in shootout

The Bruins finally took points in back-to-back games for the first time this season, and played a solid road game despite ultimately losing to the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 in an overtime shootout at the Wachovia Center. Tuukka Rask made 36 saves in an impressive effort, including a stunning right pad save on the last-minute Jeff Carter short-handed breakaway in the third period. Rask's stop allowed the B's to take a point from the game and move on to a Saturday night game against the Ottawa Senators. Derek Morris, Steve Begin and Matt Hunwick all scored for the Bruins during regulation, but Philly center Claude Giroux potted the only goal of the shootout for the eventual game-winner. Check in with the Big Bad blog for more details from the game.
