As QB Brock Osweiler struggles, Texans lean on RB Lamar Miller
- November 04, 2016
There is a ton to fix with this football team, some of which may get better as the season progresses, some of which will require a draft, an offseason, and a ton of injury rehab (pouring ANOTHER one out for you, J.J. Houston's offense has started out in sync as they were able to get into the end zone twice in the second quarter.

Real Madrid salvage draw in 3-3 thriller at Legia Warsaw
- November 04, 2016
Real Madrid's 3-3 Champions League draw with Legia Warsaw left head coach Zinedine Zidane voicing a familiar complaint about his side's performance. The game started really well though. The Wales global teed up Benzema later in the half with the help of Kovacic and Real looked set to cruise towards a victory that would have qualified them for the last 16, but Legia hit back before the break with Odjidja's wonderful goal.

Kasper Schmeichel to miss a month after breaking hand
- November 04, 2016
Leicester, who had previously rattled off three wins in this their debut season after their unlikely Premier League title success, could only secure a goalless draw at Copenhagen . Then I changed the formation to 4-4-1-1 and we played much better in the second half. "We stopped very well all the crosses and Kasper [Schmeichel] didn't make any saves [early in the game]".

Chicago Cubs win first World Series title since 1908
- November 04, 2016
Neither Shaw nor Francona thought the 17-minute rain delay that preceded his 10th inning had any impact on the decisive runs. Davis, after driving in a run in the bottom of the inning to cut Chicago's lead in half, was left stranded on base as Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant threw across the diamond for the final out of an 8-7 Indians loss, ending 108 years of misery for one city and extending Cleveland's to a full 68.

Phillies officially cut ties with Ryan Howard
- November 04, 2016
For the first time since he was drafted in the fifth round of the 2001 Major League Baseball entry draft, Ryan Howard is not a member of the Philadelphia Phillies. The team could look to bring him back, possibly as a reliever, on a low-risk, incentive-based deal for 2017. Morton, who turns 33 later this month, made four starts for the Phillies in 2016 then went down with a season-ending hamstring rupture. (more...)

Alabama No. 1, Texas A&M No. 4 in first playoff rankings
- November 04, 2016
MI football actually has three wins over teams in the top 15, more even than Clemson. Alabama is ranked No. 1, just like the team has been in the AP Poll all year. The takeaway for Louisville: The Cardinals will need a ton of help to get in the playoff. At 6-2, UNC can still win the ACC Coastal Division as they are tied at the top with Virginia Tech but they do not own the tiebreaker. (more...)

Cubs win first World Series title since 1908
- November 04, 2016
Manager Joe Maddon made the controversial decision to place Chapman in to close out Game 6, and it worked. In other words, 71 percent of a time a trailing team forces a Game 7 from 3-1 down, they go on to win the World Series. The Cubs blew through those plans like a wicked wind off Lake Michigan. Later, Naquin came up with the bases loaded in the fourth but struck out. (more...)

- November 04, 2016
Marty Green said if the Cubs win the World Series, he's going to get a Cubs World Champion tattoo. Like the Kansas City Royals did last season with a similar makeshift rotation, cheap young lineup and stellar bullpen, the Indians were able to shorten the game, using relievers Bryan Shaw , Andrew Miller and Cody Allen unconventionally and throwing breaking pitches that made the Cubs uncomfortable.
