    She said he threatened to shoot a bank employee unless he was handed a large sum of money. He then commanded everyone in the bank to gather near the back of the establishment, nea

    Once vulnerable to opposing left-handers, the Dodgers went into Monday’s game against Diamondbacks left-hander Robbie Ray having won 12 of their previous 17 games started by an opposing lefty.

    Breathtaking play earns Mike Williams early praise from Chargers
    COSTA MESA – Burning toward the end zone, in lockstep with one of the NFL’s best cornerbacks, Mike Williams looked over his right shoulder and leapt forward, his arms outstretched.
    The play was designed to get the young wideout the ball. As he exploded off the line, it was obvious why. Sprinting toward All-Pro corner Marcus Peters, Williams darted outside, and then back in, putting himself a half-stride behind Peters, just as Philip Rivers uncorked a deep pass.

    Malepeai, listed at 6 feet and 215 pounds, leaned on a physical running style and was seen more as a complement to a stable of speedier running backs.
