Hamilton takes pole for Brazilian GP, edging rival Rosberg
- November 13, 2016
I hope nothing breaks and that they are reliable. "I would say that I have learned my lesson", he explained. I have chose to split with the brand because I am not in favour at all of the comment. That makes the German the clear favourite but the prospect of rain over the weekend could complicate his plans. "It was very close but Lewis was just marginally quicker in the end and my lap was good in the end but just not quick enough and missing that little bit out there", Rosberg said. (more...)

State has three receivers Stephen Louis, Bra'Lon Cherry, and Maurice Trowell with catches of 70-plus yards in the same season. Doeren also complimented the efficient play of Syracuse's starting quarterback, sophomore Eric Dungey, saying that he understands the offense well and does a good job of using his feet ... (more...)

Australia's batting in crisis, says coach Darren Lehmann
- November 13, 2016
Left to bail out Australia's faltering batsmen once again, the arms of Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood restored some optimism after tea after more wickets fell on a single day than ever in a test at the venue.

England need to go round, not through Springboks, says Jones
- November 13, 2016

Cowboys QB Tony Romo questionable for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh
- November 13, 2016
We saw that past year, when Tony Romo's twice-fractured collarbone redefined Big D as Big Distress. He has not played in a regular-season game since last Thanksgiving. Dak Prescott continued to shine as he went 21-for-27 through the air for 247 yards and three touchdowns. Bryant was targeted four times Sunday. Against the Cowboys , the Steelers need Coates to be the player he was early in the season when he was catching more deep balls than anyone else in the NFL. (more...)
