Sherrington: How did a once-promising career go so bad, so fast for ex-Cowboys RB Joseph Randle?

The fast-and-furious decline of Joseph Randle hit bottom Tuesday when the Cowboys released the running back, raising a couple of questions in the process:

How does a once-promising career go so bad, so fast?

And what else can go wrong this season?

Even if, like me, you didn't think Randle capable of getting to the meat that DeMarco Murray supposedly left on the bone, Randle had a pedigree. A productive running back at Oklahoma State, he showed flashes early with the Dallas Cowboys. If not exactly a genius, he was employed to run with a football, not work Sudoku puzzles.

NASHVILLE — Tennessee controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk had been thinking of making a coaching change for weeks and team president Steve Underwood said they caught Mike Mularkey a bit off-guard Tuesday morning asking him to take over as interim head coach.

After playing in a team-high 80 games last season, Chalmers underwent right knee surgery in May to repair an inflamed Plica.

Reports: Free-agent WR Sanders banned 10 games

The Jacksonville Jaguars receiving corps is hardly stacked, with names like Allen Robinson, Allen Hurns and Marqise Lee -- all second-year players -- sitting atop the depth charts. So when the club last month released third-year wideout Ace Sanders, even with his struggles last season, it did seem a bit puzzling to some.
That move makes a lot more sense now.
According to multiple reports Monday, the NFL suspended the free-agent receiver for the first 10 games of the upcoming season for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. - When people first meet Michael Oher naturally they want to ask him about the 2009 hit movie "The Blind Side," which is based on his life as an underprivileged youth growing up in Memphis, Tennessee.

"Ah listen, we have the same thing every year," Keane asserted.
"There's too many Arsenal players interested in selfies, whatever they are, and six-packs. Instead of focusing on winning Premier League titles, it's all about how their bodies look and how their hair is. More so than winning football matches is the way things are going."

Over his lengthy career in professional wrestling, Piper trained under Rousey’s mentor, “Judo” Gene Lebell, with regularity. Years later, Rousey came along and trained with the martial arts legend as well.
When Rousey eventually made the jump to professional MMA after earning a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Rousey asked Piper if she could use his namesake “Rowdy” as her own.

Marlins Make Multiple Trades Right Before Deadline

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The Miami Marlins got a few more deals in before the end of Major League Baseball trade deadline.
The first trade involved shipping relief pitcher Sam Dyson to the Texas Rangers for catcher Tomas Telis and left-handed reliever Cody Ege.
Dyson has made 44 relief appearances this year with the Marlins, going 3-3 with a 3.68 ERA in 44 innings.
Telis, 24, was 2 for 11 in his recent six-game stint with the Rangers.

Just before the 4:00 p.m. ET non-waiver trade deadline, the Cubs acquired relief pitcher Tommy Hunter from the Orioles, confirms Jon Heyman. The return for the Orioles is outfielder Junior Lake.
Hunter, 29, has a 3.63 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 32 strikeouts against 11 walks in 44 2/3 innings this season. He got off to a terrible start to the season, though, and actually has a 2.63 ERA in his last 34 outings.

A flurry of deals got in under the wire of Friday’s Major League Baseball trade deadline, crowned by the New York Mets acquiring Cuban slugger Yoenis Cespedes from the re-tooling Detroit Tigers.

After working late into Thursday night, the Mets and Reds are picking up momentum on a trade that would bring outfielder Jay Bruce to New York and send righthander Zack Wheeler to Cincinnati, sources said Friday morning.

Other players in the deal were not known Friday morning.
