Nats' Scherzer edges Cubs duo for NL Cy Young
- November 17, 2016
Displeased with the voting system, Upton unleashed a profanity-laced rant on Twitter shortly after the results were announced . But I do have a beef with the writers that gave the two Chicago Cubs on the ballot very little respect. Porcello went 22-4 with a 3.15 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 33 starts (223 innings). Both Porcello and Verlander make for good comeback stories-the former from a miserable first year in Boston , the latter from a series of injuries that almost ruined his career. (more...)

Klinsmann questioned as US slumps to 0-2 start in qualifying
- November 17, 2016
There will still be a sold-out crowd at Tuesday night's World Cup qualifier to cheer on Costa Rica and try to put pressure on the visiting USA national team, but the Americans will be facing an even scarier proposition than rowdy fans when they take the field. (more...)

Latest CFP Committee Rankings Has A (Slight) Shakeup
- November 17, 2016
Clemson, Michigan and Washington all suffered losses during the weekend, but the committee felt the Tigers and Wolverines still deserved spots in the top four. This may be a bit nit-picky seeing how it's the No. 25 spot, but what is Texas A&M still doing in the Top 25? "It's based on each particular teams resume", Hocutt said. (more...)

Jamie Murray steps up bid for doubles top spot
- November 17, 2016
Just one set for Murray would be enough to see the world No 1 through but avoiding a semi-final clash with Novak Djokovic would then be dependent on the result between Nishikori and Cilic. He stepped up a gear and broke Cilic twice as he took the set 6-2. The world number one was a picture of frustration, which he took to expressing with a sarcastic grin. (more...)

Nationals' Scherzer, Boston's Porcello win Cy Young Awards
- November 17, 2016
The last AL pitcher to win at least 22 games is Verlander, who won 24 during his Cy Young and AL MVP season of 2011. "What 2 writers didn't have him on their ballot?", the swimsuit model tweeted. The 6-foot-5 hurler signed with Boston in 2015 and pitched to 9-15 record with a 4.92 ERA. With this year's loss, Verlander continues searching for a second Cy Young Award , which would put him in elite pitching company and certainly bolster his future Hall of Fame resumé. (more...)

Bills Player's Wife Tweets 'Animal' Richard Sherman Should Be Castrated
- November 17, 2016
Maybe Sherman was metaphorically saying, "You see, Rex, I can get a pick off of your quarterback, just like I can pick off your kicker". I went for the ball. He was talking to himself. "I didn't hear him", Sherman said. His only mistake - an interception by Sherman in the end zone - appeared to be a miscommunication with the wide receiver. (more...)

Wales draw against Serbia, after leading for much of the game
- November 17, 2016
It was a cruel blow to Wales as 50 seconds earlier Gareth Bale, who scored the opening goal, had hit the post. "We were without him for the first three games, which was a blow for us - it would be a blow for anyone". The hosts took the lead through Newcastle striker Aleksandar Mitrovic but Marcel Sabitzer equalised in the 15 minute for Austria. Keeping just four clean sheets in their last fourteen games and an aging defence which includes the likes of Manchester City's Alexsandar Kolarov ... (more...)

Rams to start rookie QB Jared Goff versus Dolphins in Week 11
- November 17, 2016
He also realizes the raw economic imperatives faced by an National Football League franchise that traded six draft picks to move up to get a quarterback with the No. I think at this point, he's at the range. "But I just managed to stay committed and put pressure on his second serves". Jared made some mistakes out there, but that's how you get better. (more...)

The 28-year-old made history with an emphatic second round knockout victory over Alvarez, becoming the promotion's first ever reigning two-weight champion. I hate all that.

Stamkos out indefinitely with knee injury
- November 17, 2016
Stamkos, who signed a $68 million extension in the off-season, had been off to a good start with 20 points in 17 games, which is tied for third in the National Hockey League. He also missed time in 2013-14 with a broken leg. The Lightning have three games remaining in their current road trip, and while Stamkos could rejoin the team, this will nearly certainly rule him out Thursday against Buffalo, if not for the entire trip.

Messi leads Argentina team ban on talking to media
- November 17, 2016
Despite inspiring the victory by scoring one goal and laying on the other two to put Argentina's World Cup qualifying campaign back on track, Messi looked glum during the post-match press conference. Argentina super star Lionel Messi could make appearance in Wellington next year. Colombia dropped to sixth on 18 points. To fight the struggles on offence, Bauza might replace Gonzalo Higuain with Lucas Pratto, who has often been a reserve for Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro. (more...)

Felix raises Trump issue in Los Angeles Olympic bid speech
- November 17, 2016
Paris hosted the Olympics 100 years before, in 1924. "I must say this is the most remarkable U.S. bid I have ever seen", U.S. Olympic Committee President Larry Probst said. Los Angeles previously hosted the Olympics in 1932 and 1984. Main competitors of Paris are Budapest and Los Angeles. I believe L.A.is a ideal choice for the 2024 Games, because the face of our city reflects the face of the Olympic Movement itself, she said. (more...)

Clemson drops but still inside CFP top four after first loss
- November 17, 2016
It's interesting to note it's possible neither Ohio State nor MI will get the opportunity to play for their conference title. Four teams in the top ten are from the Big Ten. "They play like it". The Buckeyes, now No. 2 in the committee's rankings, need help to win the Big Ten, but will still have a strong case to make the field if ultimately Wisconsin emerges as the conference champion.
