MLB spokesman Michael Teevan about a letter indefinite­ly banning two women who flashed their chests on television during the seventh inning of Game 5 of the World Series Sunday night.

Tampa Bay coach Bruce Arians on Monday about an apparent officiatin­g mistake that may have cost his Bucs the game in a 27-23 loss Sunday to Tennessee. With 3:45 left, the Titans ran a fake field goal play in which punter Brett Kern was stopped short of the line of scrimmage. An official blew the whistle quickly, effectivel­y ending the play. Replays, however, showed Bucs LB Devin White had jarred the ball loose before Kern hit the ground. Tampa safety Andrew Adams scooped the ball and had a clear path to the end zone in what almost certainly would have been a touchdown. But because the play was blown dead, the return was not reviewable.
