Vikings safety Harrison Smith to miss Jaguars game
- December 10, 2016
Can the Vikings defense see them home? "So, I think, there has been a lot of good things, and obviously, there are some things he has got to clean up". Either Anthony Harris or Jayron Kearse would replace Smith in the starting lineup. Despite scoring 16 or fewer points in five of last seven games, Vikings have third-best interception percentage in league. (more...)

Maple Leafs trade Holland to Coyotes for conditional pick
- December 10, 2016
Both Peter Holland and the Toronto Maple Leafs were happy to move on from each other, while the Arizona Coyotes are hopeful they found a useful player for cheap. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Holland was drafted 15th overall by Anaheim in 2009. We don't know what Tippett plans to do with Holland, but he does provide stability down the middle should the Coyotes decide that Christian Dvorak (two goals and eight assists this season), needs more time in the AHL.

Lucas Perez scored a hat-trick in his first European start for the Gunners while Alex Iwobi was also on target before Seydou Doumbia pulled one back for Basel. (more...)

Cowboys vs. Giants SNF Matchup to be Defensive Struggle? 12/11/16
- December 10, 2016
And while he likely won't catch Eric Dickerson's 1,808 rushing yards, the rookie record, his season has his team poised for homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. In the NFC there doesn't appear to be a huge threat to the Cowboys. Each recent contest has been a battle from start to finish for both teams. In 2014, the season the Buckeyes would go on to win the inaugural College Football Playoff, they suffered just one loss, a home upset at the hands of Virginia Tech. (more...)

OBJ fined for verbal abuse of official on the field
- December 10, 2016
This is Beckham's fifth known fine of the season, but the first directly involving an official. He has been docked at least $108,926 this season. The $12,154 is not related to Beckham's postgame criticism. But like I said, you can't rely on anybody. Just try to stay composed. "But it is what it is, man". Or Beckham's saying "Stevie Wonder can see it" toward the calls he felt were missed in last weekend's game. (more...)

Colorado Secretary of State asks judge how to deal with rogue electors

Trump lacks the foreign policy experience and demeanor needed to be commander-in-chief", he writes, suggesting unifying around another Republican, such as Ohio Gov. It's virtually impossible.

Haseeb Hameed ruled out of Test series
- December 10, 2016
The only wicket that would have seriously bothered them was that of Joe Root. With Haseeb Hameed , Root realised valuable 45 runs for the seventh wicket partnership before Root's innings was terminated by Ravindra Jadeja. It has been a frustrating four days.
