Maryland coach Randy Edsall said Sunday that freshman receiver-returner Stefon Diggs must learn to keep his emotions in check when the opposing team provokes him. ”He can't go and do what he did there,” Edsall said, referring to an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty assessed against Diggs during Maryland's 33-13 loss to Georgia Tech on Saturday. Diggs appeared to toss the football at a Yellow Jackets player in the first half. “He's got to understand that there will be people that will try to get inside his head,” Edsall said.

Friday night's Smackdown left me with one major question: Why did I just watch Wade Barrett face Randy Orton? That's not necessarily a complaint, as I enjoy watching these two share the squared circle, but it's a match we've seen twice on television in the past two weeks. And it was nothing new. The ending of the match may have been the most disturbing part. In their first encounter, Barrett won because of interference from Alberto Del Rio. In the rematch, Orton got his win back.

Carl R. "Randy" Boles Sr., a retired security expert who was a fan of classic Western movies, died Sunday of complications from pneumonia and cardiac arrest at Baltimore-Washington Medical Center. He was 74. The son of a sheet metal worker and a homemaker, Carl Randolph Boles Sr. was born in Lynchburg, Va., and moved with his family to Baltimore in 1944. Mr. Boles, who did not attend high school, went to work setting type for a newspaper before following his father to Bethlehem Steel Corp., where he was a sheet metal worker.

Randy Bernard is out as CEO of the IndyCar series after a special meeting of the board of directors of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corporation on Sunday, radio station WIBC in Indianapolis reported. Bernard was in the third year of a five-year contract and will remain in an advisory capacity. Jeff Belskus, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway President and CEO, was named interim IndyCar CEO. "We are very grateful for the tireless effort that Randy has invested into learning, understanding and working to grow the IndyCar Series over the last three racing seasons," Belskus said in a statement released by IMS on Sunday.

Randy Edsall is having the kind of week that makes football coaches chug Maalox at two in the morning. Maybe you heard: Maryland is having issues as it gets ready to play Boston College on Saturday. The main issue is that the Terps' quarterbacks keep getting carted off the field and returning to the sidelines on crutches. Freshman Perry Hills is the latest to go down. He tore his anterior cruciate ligament in last week's heart-breaking 20-18 loss to North Carolina State and is done for the season.

What's that old saying? “If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.” After losing its second starting quarterback to the same injury -- an anterior cruciate ligament tear -- Maryland is left to start again at quarterback. I'll have a story for tomorrow's paper on the two guys left standing -- Caleb Rowe and Devin Burns. They are very different sorts of players. Rowe is a pocket passer. Two teammates described him to me today as a "gunslinger" because of the way he whips the ball downfield during two-minute drills in practice.

The season-ending knee injuries of not one but two quarterbacks have left Maryland so depleted that it is deciding between two inexperienced players to be the new starter and must convert a freshman linebacker or tight end to be third string. The latest injury - a torn anterior cruciate ligament suffered by freshman Perry Hills in Saturday's loss to North Carolina State - leaves Maryland to choose between two very different sorts of quarterbacks: Caleb Rowe and Devin Burns. Rowe, a true freshman, is a redhead with a choir-boy face whose teammates describe him as a "gunslinger" because of the way he whips the ball around while directing two-minute drills in practice.

Veteran left-hander Randy Wolf, who appeared in five games with the Orioles at the end of this season, will have Tommy John surgery on his left elbow next week and will miss all of 2013. The 36-year-old said in an email Tuesday that this does not mean his career is over. “I won't be able to pitch until 2014, and yes, I will pitch in 2014,” Wolf wrote. Dr. Lewis Yocum, the Los Angeles Angels team doctor who performed the same procedure on Wolf in 2005, will operate on him Oct. 30 in Los Angeles, Wolf said.

Randy Monroe was looking forward all spring and summer to getting back on the court with his UMBC men's basketball team. The Retrievers, coming off three consecutive single-digit-win seasons, had much to prove in 2012-13, but the veteran coach said in August that he was “ very confident and optimistic about this year's bunch .” But “a couple weeks” ago, Monroe said he started thinking about his future and what was best for UMBC...

Randy Monroe has resigned as UMBC's men's basketball coach just two days before the official start of practice. UMBC athletic director Charles Brown told The Sun that he was not surprised by Monroe's resignation. "Well, we talked about it, he gave us his resignation," Brown said. "Today is the official date of his resignation. " Brown acknowledged that "the timing ... was an issue," but declined to further discuss the reasons for Monroe's departure because it is "a personnel issue.
