Kawhi Leonard Must Carry San Antonio Spurs Right Now
- November 03, 2015
The silver and black played efficiently and sharply most of the game, but just had lapses when they couldn't afford them. Duncan and the Spurs were respected during the apex of Duncan's career, which extended into the latter half of the 2000s, but the continuity of the team's winning percentage and playing style was boring in comparison to the combustible, yet brilliant Kobe Bryant-Los Angeles Lakers, the Steve Nash-engineered "Seven Seconds or Less" Phoenix Suns and even the loveable ...

Kevin Garnett shares tribute to late coach Flip Saunders
- November 03, 2015
Back in August, Saunders announced that he had been diagnosed with " very treatable and curable" Hodgkin lymphoma, but planned to continue as the Timberwolves' coach. Shaquille O'Neal: "My thoughts and prayers go out to Coach Flip Saunders family and friends". Garnett was just a high school kid sitting at the tables on draft day, but that didn't stop Saunders from taking a chance on him. (more...)

Minnesota football coach Jerry Kill retires
- November 03, 2015
Early Wednesday morning, Epping's phone started buzzing. "Seeing the genuine excitement, joy and passion that he displayed right there when he hugged me and freaked out and ran around and that kind of stuff", Coughlin said, "That’s an image that pops into my head every time". (more...)

Steve Weatherford cut by Jets, earns $51000 for one day of work
- November 03, 2015
Fortunately for Mangold, that wasn't a possibility once an MRI exam, a Connecticut scan and an X-ray on his neck all turned up negative. I know he was feeling better, but I have to see how much better. Mangold initially was not moving as he was tended to by the Jets training staff. Players from both teams went to one knee and appeared to be praying for Mangold, who has missed just three games since the Jets selected him in the first round of the 2006 draft. (more...)

Who Was the Last Rookie to Lead the National Football League in Rushing?
- November 02, 2015
The Rams smartly brought Gurley along slowly, not playing him in the first two games and giving him very little action in the third. The 49ers also lost TE Garrett Celek (concussion), backup SS L.J. He is averaging 6.9 yards per rush between the tackles this season, best in the National Football League among qualified rushers. "Everyone made a few incredible plays". (more...)

- November 02, 2015
Reigning MVP Stephen Curry scored 53 points and defending champions Golden State won their third consecutive game to open the season with a 134-120 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday. Two of the Warriors' wins have come against the Pelicans, including a 111-95 season-opening victory on Tuesday in which Curry scored 40 points. Golden State is a freight train that's tough to stop.

Titans quarterback Zach Mettenberger to step in for Marcus Mariota again
- November 02, 2015
Quarterback Marcus Mariota is close to a return from his knee injury , just not this week for the Tennessee Titans. His last start was by far his best, when he had 139 yards rushing with a touchdown in a win over Tampa Bay. Hopkins was held under 100-yards for the second straight week, but was an impact playmaker today with eight receptions for 94 yards and a touchdown. The Tennessee Titans are no different than the team they were least season. (more...)

National Basketball Association preview: what teams to watch out for
- November 02, 2015
The Spurs will try to bounce back Friday night when they play the Brooklyn Nets (0-1) in their home opener at the refurbished AT&T Center. Popovich and general manager R.C. The most remarkable thing about the new-look Spurs is how, when the ball is pinging around the floor and Duncan is dominating, Parker is spinning, Ginobili is dishing, Leonard is dunking and Aldridge is swishing, they will look so, so familiar.

D'Angelo Russell will return as team starter
- November 02, 2015
How long will Bryant remain in the back seat and let the losses mount, though? He added: "Our philosophy is still the same, and we're going to keep pounding it into our guys' heads and sooner or later we'll get it. "All minutes aren't created equal", said Bryant. That also could have more to do with the shot hunters they have in Nick Young and Lou Williams (seven three point attempts each) off the bench, however, which would reflect their 25.7 percent shooting on their threes.

The visitors also showed, though, that they're simply not as good as the Patriots - at least not yet. (more...)

Arsenal Could Well Win League - Former England Striker Convinced
- November 02, 2015
Both Bafetimbi Gomis and Olivier Giroud wasted good opportunities inside the opening half-hour. Swansea would end up doing the double over Arsenal that season, also winning by the same score line at Highbury in February. Punters have continually had to decide whether to trust that Chelsea's class is permanent and that the bad form is only temporary, but the slump has gone on for much longer than expected and opposing Chelsea has been one of the most profitable strategies of the season.

The Patriots signed the safety/special teams ace to their practice squad , ESPN's Mike Reiss reported Wednesday. He originally entered the NFL as a sixth-round draft pick (195 overall) of the New York Jets out of Missouri State in 2014. The 5-foot-8, 198-pound Ventrone , who was released by the Steelers earlier this month, returns to New England after two-plus years with Pittsburgh. (more...)

Hayne appeared in six games for the team, carrying the ball eight times for 25 yards and returning eight punts for 76 yards. Aaron Wilson covers the Texans for The Houston Chronicle.

49ers' Vernon Davis, Joe Staley Clashed Over Colin Kaepernick
- November 01, 2015
Davis shot down both reports - claiming he didn't criticize Kaepernick and he didn't get into a dispute with Staley. But enough nonsense has happened that I am not going to let someone blow smoke up my butt on this kind of thing. "And when it's all said and done, there's hugging and kissing and we're eating good food again, OK?" Heading into Sunday's game in St. Louis, San Francisco has the league's lowest-rated offense in both scoring and yardage, fueling speculation about major changes ... (more...)
