The Los Angeles Angels have opted out of their lease with the city of Anaheim, Calif, casting doubt on whether or not Angel Stadium will remain their home.

The Angels have played at Angel Stadium since it opened in 1966. It is the fourth-oldest park in the majors behind Boston’s Fenway Park, Chicago’s Wrigley Field and Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium.

New York Giants owner John Mara is ready for Odell Beckham Jr to start making headlines on the field and ceasefire behind the microphone.

“I think he needs to do a little more playing and a little less talking,” Mara said at the NFL fall owners meetings on Tuesday.

Mara said he did not confront Beckham about critical comments regarding the team made to ESPN, but Fox Sports reported the wide receiver was fined. Beckham also was asked by coach Pat Shurmur, described in the Fox report as “livid,” to apologize to the team for being critical of quarterback Eli Manning and the offense in general.

The DallasCowboys.com columnist who tweeted about an impending contract extension for coach Jason Garrett is “pulling one out of the air,” team owner Jerry Jones said.

Replying to a tweet about Garrett on Monday, writer Jeff Sullivan said, “Sounds like another extension could be signed soon he’s not going anywhere.” Later, Sullivan added, “I have no reason to lie.”

“I don’t know where Jeff is getting his information,” Jones said on a Tuesday morning radio show on 105.3 KRLD-FM. “He’s pulling one out of the air there as far as any knowledge. My response should not in any way indicate that I’m thinking about it or whether it’s going to be there, it’s just not something that I would have visited with anybody about, least of all Jeff.”
