- November 18, 2016
Pliskova finally won - taking the 30th game easily - in a match that lasted 3 hours, 48 minutes.

Coyotes forward Brad Richardson carted off ice on stretcher
- November 18, 2016
Daniel Sedin had a goal and an assist, and Brandon Sutter also scored for Vancouver, which had lost 11 of 13. Brad Richardson and Anthony DeAngelo had goals for Arizona, which has lost four straight. We'd like to come in and get the lead and maintain the lead, which would be nice. Shane Doan said losing a veteran like Richardson hurts. "He adds a lot to us, makes us better". (more...)

Max Scherzer and Rick Porcello are Cy Young Award winners
- November 18, 2016
In the National League, Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer was well ahead of the other two competitors, with his 5.6 fWAR easily outstripping Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks's 4.5 and Cubs left-hander Jon Lester's 4.3. Scherzer was the only man to receive more first-place votes than Clayton Kershaw, who received two despite throwing only 149 innings. Personally, I do think Verlander deserved the award more than Porcello but both are worthy candidates in my book. (more...)

Raonic advances to ATP Finals semis with straight-sets win over Thiem
- November 18, 2016
There could be a rematch of that final between Raonic and Andy Murray in the last four, depending on how the other group plays out on Friday. Like all the original members of Group Ivan Lendl , Goffin has never beaten Djokovic. Thiem's serve caused the world number four some problems, but the hard-hitting Canadian came through a tight first set on a tie break. Djokovic said: "If I had to pick a key to the match it was just hanging in there mentally and believing the opportunities would ... (more...)

McGregor moves up UFC pound-for-pound rankings
- November 18, 2016
After that, there's not a lot there, which brings people back around to the idea of a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather. Mayweather recently said it was disrespectful that people were comparing him to McGregor. "Tell Floyd and Showtime, I'm coming". Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) superstar Khabib Nurmagomedov has sent a warning to president Dana White , threatening to quit the company if he does not get a title shot with current featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor.

Rooney not set great tone as captain with hotel revelry
- November 18, 2016
Rooney picked up a minor knee injury during the 3-0 victory over the Scots and, therefore, knew he wouldn't be playing against Spain on Tuesday night. We are all on the sunny side of life, earn a lot of money, do the job we love, but in the end there is a human being behind the kid. "These boys, this generation, is the most professional generation of footballers - not only in England , but [the] England [team], too - that there has ever been, " the German said. (more...)

Rick Porcello Named Cy Young Winner in American League
- November 18, 2016
He won despite getting just eight of the 30 first-place votes from members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America - this was the first time the AL Cy victor didn't get the most firsts. Amazingly, it was actually his first time receiving any Cy Young support despite clearly being deserving of a vote or two in his first two seasons in the states. (more...)

Cowboys' Jerry Jones says Tony Romo will remain in Dallas going forward
- November 18, 2016
Tony Romo does not have the real ability now to help his teammates to win on the field. I believe Romo spoke straight from the heart. Were talking generic now, and I have no plans for him not to be part of the Dallas Cowboys. There are other teams you could discuss, the Houston Texans (I mean, how bad has Brock Osweiler been), Miami Dolphins (Ryan Tannehill is about as bad at Osweiler), and the Los Angeles Rams (do they even have a QB?).

Costa Rica 4, United States of America 0
- November 18, 2016
Brooks and Gonzalez started in the center of the back line. Back in June, Klinsmann possibly saved his job with a 4-0 victory over Costa Rica in the team's second game of the Copa America . The U.S. put itself in a deep hole in World Cup qualifying with one of its worst matches in decades. And if U.S. Soccer is going to make a transition, the time to do it is now; the next qualifying match isn't until late March . (more...)

Floyd Mayweather Jr flatly dismissed comparisons between him and Conor McGregor by stating "elephants don't beef with ants".

Trout, Bryant baseball MVPs
- November 18, 2016
He is the first player to win the AL MVP award from a non-playoff team since Alex Rodriguez in 2003. Trout edged out Boston Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts thanks to his impressive standard and advanced 2016 stats. "I'll continue to work harder than I ever have before, to hopefully sustain that and win more World Series". I'm just happy. It's a surreal moment. (more...)

Kate Upton up in arms over results of AL Cy Young voting
- November 18, 2016
Personally, I do think Verlander deserved the award more than Porcello but both are worthy candidates in my book. While the BBWAA's weighting system for votes is well-known, Upton makes a fair point that those two Tampa Bay writers shouldn't have left Verlander off of their ballots. (more...)

Trump meeting with Japan's PM, possible Cabinet choices
- November 18, 2016
Flynn, who served as the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, has advised Trump on national security issues for months. "I mean, the whole place is one big lobbyist". The probe dismissed numerous conspiracy theories that had been circulated by critics of Clinton, who was then secretary of state. Make no mistake: As the victor of the election, Trump has the right to surround himself with whomever he feels comfortable and people whose views align with his own. (more...)
