The tweet was deleted from Marlows account.The Astros said in a statement that they have spoken with Marlow and he agreed that his tweet was inappropriate and insensitive and has apologized. The team also apologized to Mendoza, calling her an outstanding broadcaster that we have had the pleasure of working with this season.Mendoza, a former professional softball player, began broadcasting games for ESPN last year. Shes a member of ESPNs Sunday Night Baseball broadcast team and the most prominent woman calling national games in a male sport.Marlow was a 29th-round pick in 2015 after playing at Texas.

A lot of NFL head coaches have a different standard for stars, subscribing to the philosophy of treating everyone equitably but not necessarily equally.Ron Rivera is not among those coaches.So, when reigning MVP Cam Newton boarded the team flight to Seattle without a dress shirt and necktie, Rivera decided to bench him for the first series Sunday night.The flap became an overbearing cloud hanging over Seattles 40-7 shellacking of the Panthers after Derek Andersons single snap resulted in an interception.Newton didnt express disagreement with Riveras decision after the game, explaining he realized just before the buses left to take the team to the airport that he hadnt packed a shirt and tie.We discussed it internally. Me and coach, were on the same page, I feel good about it, Newton said.I wore a similar outfit like this before and nothing was done. But he has rules in place and we have to abide by them and no person is greater than the next person.Rivera didnt announce his intention to punish his passer. Even after the game he wouldnt say anything beyond acknowledging his quarterback had committed a dress code violation.Right tackle Trai Turner said he didnt know what was up until the opening play, which ended up being a pass that deflected off Mike Tolberts hands and into the arms of linebacker Mike Morgan. That led to a Seattle field goal.The oddity of it all is that Newton is as fashionable as any player in the league.This is the guy who sported Zebra-print Versace pants on Super Bowl Sunday and who modeled nearly $30,000 worth of duds for his GQ photo shoot last summer, including $495 loafers, a $530 tank top, $1,200 sneakers and a $4,995 leather jacket.And nary a necktie.Aside from more than 500 players wearing custom cleats as part of the leagues My Cleats, My Cause initiative, Week 13 featured an abundance of curious calls and dubious decisions.Seattle star safety Earl Thomas broke his lower left leg when he collided with teammate Kam Chancellor as both tried to intercept a pass from Newton.While in the locker room, Thomas tweeted , This game has been so good to me no regrets. A lot is running through my mind including retirement thanks for all the prayers.Dallas escaped Minnesota with a 17-15 win on Thursday night when no flag was thrown on the Cowboys for hitting Sam Bradfords facemask on his overthrown 2-point conversion attempt with 25 seconds left.Im sick and tired of the reffing in this league right now, Vikings defensive end Brian Robison said.dddddddddddd Im sick and tired of it. Youve got holding calls all over the place that people dont want to call.Bradford gets hit in the face at the end of the game and you dont call it. Im not laying this loss on reffing, but at some point its got to get better.Officials cant see every infraction but it was astonishing that Rams cornerback Trumaine Johnson got away with yanking the facemask of Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount right in front of an official.After making the tackle, Johnson reached up and jerked Blounts facemask, but head linesman Ed Camp never reached for his flag.I cannot believe an officials sitting right there watching and he wont make the call, NBC analyst Rodney Harrison said.Randall Cobb made a snow angel after scoring a touchdown in Green Bays win over the Texans at Lambeau Field.In Chicago, the 49ers were assessed a 15-yard excessive celebration penalty after rookie cornerback Rashard Robinson did a snow angel in the end zone because he mistakenly thought Dontae Johnson had scored on a blocked punt return, as did the rest of the 49ers.Johnson also did a snow angel and his was legal because it was a single-person celebration -- even though hed actually stepped out at the 4.Robinsons cost his team 15 yards, and the 49ers settled for a field goal on their way to extending their franchise-record losing streak to 11 games.In Atlanta, the Falcons were burned by Eric Berrys pick-6, then were done in by their own strategy in a 29-28 loss to Kansas City.After pulling within 27-22 with 12 minutes left, the Falcons went for 2 and failed.So, when they went ahead 28-27 with 4:34 remaining, they had to go for 2, and Berry took it back 99 yards for the first game-winning pick-2 in NFL history .My dad, he always told me the most important part of the game is the extra point, Berry said. So, a lot of people take that play off and like I said, its an opportunity to make something happen and Im going to make the most of it.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---AP Sports Writer Jon Krawczynski contributed.
