There is clearly mutual respect between Odell Beckham Jr. and Dez Bryant.

The two star receivers played a bit of catch before the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys faced off on Sunday.

Unsurprisingly, there are no drops here. These two are way too good for that. Now, will anyone be upset that Beckham avoided contact here? Either way, it’ll be fun to watch these two, and we’ll see who ends up having the better overall season when all is said and done.

Late Saudi penalties catch Iraq napping in World Cup qualifier

http://i2.wp.com/www.truesportsfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/6c0bc553caabf3db2351d8f632d681870e72bd93-768x563.jpg?fit=640%2C469

Shah Alam (Malaysia) (AFP) – Nawaf Al Abed buried two penalties in the last nine minutes as Saudi Arabia came from a goal down to beat regional rivals Iraq 2-1 in World Cup qualifying on Tuesday.

War-torn Iraq, playing their home fixture in Malaysia’s Shah Alam, struck early through Mohannad Abdul-Raheem and  looked headed for victory as the clock ticked down.

But on 81 minutes, after Saad Natiq brought down Hassan Muath in the box, Abed drilled home a powerful equaliser from the spot.

And there was more to come after Abed won another penalty which he converted in the 87th minute to hand the Saudis their second win in two third-round matches so far.

It takes Abed’s tally to three late penalties in Saudi’s two games after he hit the 84th-minute winner from the spot in last week’s 1-0 victory over Thailand.

The result badly dents Iraq’s chances of winning one of the two automatic berths for Russia 2018 from the six-team Group B, after they lost last week’s opener 2-0 to Australia.

Andrew Benintendi robs home run with great catch (Video)

Andrew Benintendi made a spectacular catch on Monday to rob Steven Souza Jr. of what would have been a two-run home run.

Souza Jr. smashed a ball off David Price in the eighth inning with a runner on in a 3-0 game. The blast would have made it a one-run game, but Benintendi’s catch helped keep the Red Sox up 3-0 over the Tampa Bay Rays.

“I think that’s the best catch I’ve made. I’ve never really had the opportunity to do that,” Benintendi said after the game. “I knew that it was going to go out. I was just trying to time it and I was fortunate enough to finish with it.”
