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.

- 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.'
