NEW YORK (AP) — ESPN is cutting its workforce, the latest Disney division to reduce staff.

Imagine Sean Payton holding up a Surface tablet instead of a cardboard playsheet on the sideline. Envision Peyton Manning sitting on the bench and dissecting the last series from a variety of camera angles on his hand-held device instead of looking at still photos.

DENVER (AP) — Patrick Roy and Joe Sakic formed a productive partnership on the ice during their playing days, leading the Colorado Avalanche to two Stanley Cup titles.

GREENBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — Amare Stoudemire will go into next season with $45 million left on his contract and no guarantee of a starting job.

TORONTO (AP) — Bryan Colangelo is still president of the Toronto Raptors, but he's no longer the club's general manager. The Raptors announced Tuesday that while Colangelo's contract as team president is being extended, a new general manager will be hired within the next 30 days.

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Yankees are going into the soccer business. The Yankees are partnering with Manchester City to own Major League Soccer's 20th team, which will be called New York City Football Club and plans to start play in the 2015 season.

Golf's governing bodies approved a rule Tuesday that outlaws the putting stroke used by four of the last six major champions, a move opposed by two major golf organizations that contend long putters are not hurting the game.

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will miss at least three weeks of offseason workouts after a procedure to remove a cyst from his back.

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Chelsea surged to the top of the weekly Associated Press global soccer poll after winning the Europa League and qualifying for the Champions League for the 11th straight season.

DETROIT (AP) — The Chicago Blackhawks were controlling the puck and dominating play early in the second period. It took all of a half-minute for the Detroit Red Wings to swing the momentum.

A 77-year-old trained a horse that a 50-year-old rode to victory in the Preakness, which should give anyone worried about the graying of America something to cheer about.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Ryan Vogelsong felt the best he had in months, then it all ended on one painful swing. The right-hander broke his throwing hand chasing an inside fastball after pitching himself toward his first win in seven starts, and the San Francisco Giants returned from a terrible road trip to beat the Washington Nationals 8-0 on Monday night.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Giants right-hander Ryan Vogelsong has broken his pitching hand while batting against the Washington Nationals.

The massive tornado that ripped through a handful of Oklahoma City suburbs and killed at least 50 people grabbed the attention of the sports world on Monday, especially the players and coaches with ties to the area.

DENVER (AP) — Patrick Corbin was a maestro on the mound, making his slider move all over the place. And after the Arizona Diamondbacks lefty finished off his virtuoso performance, he calmly sauntered over to congratulate his catcher, casually shook his hand and coolly walked off the field.

CHICAGO (AP) — Adam Dunn has been insisting all season he feels great, even while he was piling up strikeouts at the beginning of the year.

NEW YORK (AP) — Things weren't going well for Johnny Cueto in his return from the disabled list, so he had a conversation — with himself.

DETROIT (AP) — The young Detroit Red Wings have made the mighty Chicago Blackhawks look vulnerable, beating them two straight times to gain an advantage in their last playoff matchup as Western Conference rivals.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Clayton Kershaw scattered three singles in his second complete game of the year and Matt Kemp hit his first home run since April 24, lifting the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 3-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Memphis forward Tarik Black is transferring to Kansas and will be eligible to play immediately. Black has graduated from Memphis and has one year of eligibility left.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Beleaguered manager Don Mattingly insisted Monday he doesn't feel he's about to be fired by the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he has no idea whether he needs to win a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers to keep his job.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Chris Perez was stunned, surprised and shocked. And he was hardly alone. The Cleveland Indians somehow pulled out a game they had no business winning.

Gabby Douglas had been looking forward to this appearance for a long time. The Olympic all-around champion returned to the gym Monday, going through her first practice since the London Games after meeting with coach Liang Chow to discuss her comeback plan.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Manti Te'o isn't hiding out. He's just not talking to the media. After being spotted attending a party thrown by the magazine Maxim last week in Hollywood, Te'o was back in San Diego at the Chargers second open session of organized team activities on Monday.
