Couple of updates this Thursday...

• It's official:  Craig Carton has resigned from WFAN.  Carton resigned in a statement today, and is still out on a half-million dollars bail. (MSN)
• The protest at Fenway last night was, in fact, an anti-racism protest.  Deadspin got in touch with some of the people involved, and here's what one of them said:

“We want to remind everyone that just as baseball is fundamental to American culture and history, so too is racism,” the group said in a written statement. “White people need to wake up to this reality before white supremacy can truly be dismantled. We urge anyone who is interested in learning more or taking action to contact their local racial justice organization.”

• The cheap-shot that took out Odell Beckham Jr. (and pretty much has screwed the Giants) will take a further month or so to recover (6-8 weeks total).  What that means for the next few weeks in interim, though, is unknown.  (Yardbarker) 
• European soccer remains out of control.  A Champions League match in Russia was halted for a period when a flare was fired at the referee -- barely missing.  A Europa League match in England with Arsenal was delayed at least an hour as thousands of German fans of the other team raised Cain and created a mass security breach!
