Too early to speak about Premier League title: Conte
- October 31, 2016
The Saints were helpless as goals from Eden Hazard and Diego Costa saw the Blues cruise to a comfortable victory - with the Nigerian playing a key role. "Every single player on that pitch is working hard and there's a desire about them again". But that's the past and we must concentrate on the next game against a good team like Everton. (more...)

AP Top 25: Alabama, Michigan, Clemson, Washington at top
- October 31, 2016
We have a fantastic four right now - a quartet of undefeated teams, each from a different major conference - and it's hard to imagine we could end up with a better playoff than No. I think an undefeated squad falls here. He'll need to come up big again against Jefferson, his Lone Star State rival Texas and impressive sophomore, who will look to wrap up Linwood between the tackles. (more...)

- October 31, 2016
The anti-doping programme at the 2016 Rio Olympics was marred by "a number of serious failings", according to Wada. The IO assessed that there was a 'lack of coordination/unified approach among the management team in the Rio 2016 anti-doping department during the Games itself.' The report describes how budget cutbacks meant restricted resources, such as a loss of a contract for trained phlebotomists, as well as 30% fewer system chaperones than originally anticipated.

11 things we learned about the Dallas Cowboys after Packers win
- October 31, 2016
This Packers defense has done its part through this point in the season, and now it's time for the offense to return the favor. "I don't know if I agree with 'broken.' It's definitely not clean in some areas", coach Mike McCarthy said. 157 yard on 28 carries versus the Packers means Elliott has rushed for more than 130 yards in 4 straight games, the first rookie running back to pull that off feat in National Football League history.

Southampton boss Claude Puel admits Chelsea goals were 'difficult to accept'

It's very good, fantastic. The Nigerian almost got on the score sheet himself but his shot from 20 yards after skipping past two defenders was pushed away by Fraser Forster in the Southampton goal. After the interval N'Golo Kante's raking cross-field pass found Alonso, whose low cross was nearly turned into his own net by Jose Fonte with Hazard lying in wait. (more...)

Bradley, coming off a 17-point, nine-rebound, five-assist opening night performance against the Brooklyn Nets, continued with his all-around success Thursday night by logging 16 points, six rebounds and five assists against the Bulls. Chicago made a playoff appearance last season, but it do not last as long as they would have hoped. The rookie received crunch-time minutes in a small lineup that nearly wiped out all of a late 10-point deficit, but also picked the wrong time for a rookie blunder. (more...)
