BASEBALLNEW YORK -- The league that wins baseballs All-Star Game no longer will get home-field advantage in the World Series, which instead will go to the pennant winner with the better regular-season record.The change was included in Major League Baseballs tentative new collective bargaining agreement and disclosed to The Associated Press by a person familiar with the agreement. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the deal, reached in Irving, Texas, had not been announced.In addition, players and management agreed the minimum stay on the disabled list will be reduced from 15 days to 10.Home-field advantage in the World Series generally rotated between the leagues through 2002. Baseball, led by then-Commissioner Bud Selig, and Fox television promoted the This Time It Counts innovation after the 2002 All-Star Game in Milwaukee ended in a 7-7, 11-inning tie when both teams ran out of pitchers. Selig was booed in his own Milwaukee backyard.As part of the changes for next year, players in the All-Star Game will have the incentive to play for a pool of money.MLB and the union also agreed to ban smokeless tobacco for all new big leaguers. The ban does not apply to any player who already has at least one day of major league service.COLLEGE FOOTBALLHARRISBURG, Pa. -- A former Penn State assistant football coachs treatment by the school after Jerry Sandusky was arrested entitles him to more than $12 million, a judge said in a ruling that substantially increased last months jury award.Judge Thomas Gavin ruled in favor of Mike McQuearys whistleblower claim, adding more than $5 million to the $7.3 million jury verdict for defamation and misrepresentation.The judge said McQueary was humiliated in several respects, including being told to clean out his office in the presence of Penn State personnel, an action that suggests he had done something wrong and was not to be trusted.McQueary has testified that in February 2001 he reported to then-head coach Joe Paterno and to two high-ranking administrators that he had just seen Sandusky, at the time retired as the schools defensive football coach, sexually abusing a boy in a team shower. Those officials did not contact police, but when investigators began looking into new complaints about Sandusky nearly a decade later, someone suggested they interview McQueary.PRO BASKETBALLDALLAS -- Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is again expressing frustration with NBA officials, although this time his criticism has nothing to do with his own team.Prior to the Mavericks game against San Antonio, Cuban complained about missed traveling and double-dribble calls in the first 15 seconds of the Clippers-Nets game Tuesday night -- Brooklyns Bojan Bogdanovic committed both uncalled violations within feet of referee Ken Mauer.Im almost ready to get fined after watching that double-dribble yesterday, said Cuban, who has been fined more than $1.5 million over the years for comments about officiating.That was a classic. If that was us, I probably would have protested it, even if we would have lost, because then every SportsCenter would have played it over and over and over again. That was ridiculous and hopefully they take action. ... That call at the beginning of the game, right in front of him, that wasnt an error in judgment.PHILADELPHIA -- A scheduled game between the Sacramento Kings and Philadelphia 76ers was postponed by the NBA because of condensation on the court at the Wells Fargo Center.The game, which was slated to start at 7 p.m., was called off at 8:03 p.m. A makeup date was not immediately announced.The Philadelphia Flyers hosted an NHL game at the arena Tuesday night and the ice surface remained under the basketball court -- standard procedure at the Wells Fargo Center. However, Wednesday was an unseasonably warm, humid day for late November in Philadelphia, and it likely affected the surface.Sacramento announced the postponement on Twitter and razzed the 76ers, saying yall can trust the process but not the floor? Smh (shake my head), (at)Sixers.Fans booed when the postponement was announced. 76ers CEO Scott ONeil said tickets to Wednesdays contest would be valid for the makeup game, and fans in attendance also would get an additional ticket to another game -- either Dec. 5 vs. Denver, Dec. 14 vs. Toronto or Dec. 18 vs. Brooklyn -- plus a rebate on parking.PRO FOOTBALLMINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer underwent emergency eye surgery, putting his status in question for the teams game against Dallas.Vikings general manager Rick Spielman said Zimmer was uncertain to recover in time for the matchup Thursday night against the league-leading Cowboys.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- When the Tennessee Titans traded 2015 second-round pick Dorial Green-Beckham to the Philadelphia Eagles this week, much of the focus was on what the team gave up.The Titans instead saw Tuesdays trade as an attempt to solve what had quickly become a problem area because of two major injuries.In exchange for Green-Beckham, the Titans received offensive lineman Dennis Kelly, who figures to be a top reserve at both tackle positions as well as guard once he acclimates himself to Tennessees offensive system.I think just based on his skill set, hes big, hes smart, hes tough and hes versatile, general manager Jon Robinson said. Hes played a lot of positions, so I think hell be a nice added mix to that group.Kelly made 15 NFL starts at three different spots along the line during his time with the Eagles.The Titans need for added depth along the offensive front had come about primarily because of a gruesome leg injury suffered by veteran tackle Byron Bell during the teams offseason work.Bell, who started eight games at right tackle, seven at left guard and one at left tackle for the Titans in 2015, had re-signed with the team and was supposed to swing between tackle and guard this season.After Bells injury, the Titans began working Josue Matias in that utility and liked the way the 2015 undrafted rookie free agent had been developing. Then, Matias suffered a partial patella tendon tear in his knee that required surgery, forcing Robinson to search for additional help.The biggest challenge is trying to learn the playbook, Kelly said. I felt real comfortable in Philly. Its just a whole different city, having to settle in, trying to get things settled. Thats the biggest challenge.Though the Titans have not yet settled on all five starters on the line, the same group -- Taylor Lewan at left tackle, Quinton Spain at left guard, Ben Jones at center, Chance Warmack at right guard and rookie Jack Conklin at right tackle -- have had almost all of the trainiing camp reps together.ddddddddddddBarring any changes, that leaves the Titans sifting through some unproven players, a couple of former starters and Kelly to find likely three backups to carry on the 53-man roster.Besides Kelly, the most experienced player among the backups is Brian Schwenke.Schwenke was the Titans starting center for most of the past three years, but has been hit with major injuries. He is now learning to work at guard as well as center.A lot of it for me is trying to get those guard reps and growing as a player at guard, Schwenke said. I havent played it in four years, so its kind of (about) getting comfortable with that again.Schwenke played guard at California until his senior season in 2012 when he switched to center.Another player switching positions is Jeremiah Poutasi. A third-round pick a year ago, Poutasi started the first seven games at right tackle, but was benched after Mike Mularkey took over as head coach. Poutasi is now trying to make the team as a backup guard.The other players in the mix include second-year center/guard Andy Gallik, Will Poehls and rookie sixth-round pick Sebastian Tretola, a sixth-round pick. Poehls has spent the past two years on the practice squad.There are still three more preseason games for the candidates to make an impression on the coaching staff. And even then, they will probably have to wait until after final cuts are made before they truly know their fate. The Titans have the top position among waiver claims and have already said they will use that to help shore up problem areas.In the meantime, the work continues to find the right combination on the offensive line, both among the starters and reserves.Theyre working, and thats what this training camp is about, Mularkey said.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
