    Robert Griffin III showing Cleveland Browns he's passing preseason ...
    CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Now we know why Hue Jackson is intrigued with Robert Griffin III. The Browns' Griffin experiment is still in the early stages, but the quarterback showed enough in Thursday's 24-13 loss to the Atlanta Falcons at FirstEnergy Stadium that fans should be excited to see more. Griffin's job is not on the line in the preseason. Jackson wisely treated him like the starter from the moment he was signed, and then gave him the job officially early in veterans training camp. That's how..

    Did Chicago White Sox steal Cleveland Indians' signs? It happens in ...
    CLEVELAND, Ohio รข€“ There was speculation that Todd Frazier might have been relaying the Indians' signs to Chicago hitters Thursday night while he was standing on second base in the ninth inning. "They seemed to be taking some good swings off Cody (Allen) and taking some good pitches," said pitching coach Mickey Callaway. "When I went out to see Cody, we talked about it and changed the signs." The White Sox rallied for a 10-7 victory over the Indians by sending eight men to the plate in the ni..

    National Gallery returns drawing to heir of Holocaust victim
    Washington — The National Gallery of Art has returned a 200-year-old drawing to the heirs of an Austrian woman who had to sell it during World War II and later died in the Holocaust. "A Branch with Shriveled Leaves" by the German artist Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld had been owned by the artist's descendants until Marianne Schmidl sold it under duress in 1939. Although Schmidl was a Christian, her father was born Jewish and she was declared Jewish by the Nazis after they annexed Austria. Her..

    Cleveland Indians overcome Danny Salazar's false start to beat ...
    CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Indians are hoping Danny Salazar did his best pitching in the bullpen Thursday night. He certainly didn't do it in the game. Salazar, fresh off the disabled list, looked out of sorts and out of whack as he lasted just one inning against the White Sox in an appearance that would suggest he wasn't ready to be activated or that he needed at least one rehab start after going on the disabled list Aug. 2 with a sore right elbow. The Indians, despite Salazar's false start, rall..

    Trump advisers waged covert influence campaign
    Washington — A firm run by Donald Trump's campaign chairman directly orchestrated a covert Washington lobbying operation on behalf of Ukraine's ruling political party, attempting to sway American public opinion in favor of the country's pro-Russian government, emails obtained by The Associated Press show. Paul Manafort and his deputy, Rick Gates, never disclosed their work as foreign agents as required under federal law. The lobbying included attempts to gain positive press coverage of Ukrai..

    Five-star receiver prospect Trevon Grimes made the trip to Ohio State’s annual Friday Night Lights skills camp in July primarily so he could hang out with a friend, four-star receiver Tyjon Lindsey. Within three days next week, there apparently is a good chance they will declare themselves as future teammates at Ohio State. “I will be shocked if Grimes does not commit to the Buckeyes,” Bucknuts.com recruiting analyst Bill Kurelic said. “And I would be pretty surprised if Lindsey doesn’t as wel..

    Browns defense not taking a day off in trying to get right
    CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns defense gave up a 9-play, 71-yard drive to the Falcons on Thursday night the first time they took the field at FirstEnergy Stadium. It was capped by a 19-yard touchdown run from Devonta Freeman, the third time that Atlanta converted a third down on the series.  In three series against Atlanta's first-team offense -- three series that spanned 15:08 of game time -- the Browns defense gave up 78 yards in the air and 58 on the ground. That's 136 yards in a shade over ..

    CLEVELAND, Ohio -- J.R. Smith's free agency has once again extended deep into the summer, as he remains one of the few players still without a deal.  After a rough last off-season where Smith eventually settled for two-year pact worth $5 million per season with a player option for the second year, the 3-point specialist changed agents. He joined the Klutch Sports Group, which is headed by Rich Paul, the same agent that reps Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James and Tristan Thompson.  Smith has bee..
