JMU beats Youngstown State to win FCS national championship
- January 09, 2017
Saturday's title-game win didn't deviate from what's worked for JMU all season long - using strong defense and momentum-swinging special teams to set up its explosive offense. They entered the game ranked fourth in the country while Youngstown was unranked. He also set the school's single-season rushing (1,809 yards) and career record for total touchdowns (44). (more...)

Jets' Patrik Laine out indefinitely with concussion from massive hit
- January 09, 2017
In the third period, defenseman Jake McCabe stepped up and pulverized Laine as the winger skated through the neutral zone. Laine laid on the ice while he was looked at by medical staff and was later helped into the dressing. Drew Stafford will be bumped up to a line with Mark Scheifele and Nikolaj Ehlers. Buffalo owns one of the best power plays in the National Hockey League but is last on the penalty kill at 74.6 percent. (more...)

Cal Fired Sonny Dykes, Start The Chip Kelly Speculation
- January 08, 2017
We have another surprising coaching vacancy. As you'd expect, those interviews didn't sit well with the administration at Cal, as it always felt like Dykes had a foot out the door and was looking for something else. After a dominant run at Oregon, Kelly had less success in the National Football League and was sacked earlier this month by the 49ers, a year after being dismissed by the Philadelphia Eagles.

Flames host Canucks to complete home-and
- January 08, 2017
Horvat trimmed the lead just three minutes into the middle stanza, picking the top shelf. It was not the ridiculous performance from Miller, but Johnson was the main reason the Flames were able to win on home ice tonight. Certainly, Granlund is not the flashiest of players, but he plays an important role in the team's bottom-six. But despite peppering Chad Johnson with four shots - double what they had for shots in the period up until that point - they could not tie it. (more...)

Tottenham 2-0 Villa: Spurs stand-ins progress
- January 08, 2017
Mauricio Pochettino made nine changes to his Spurs side for the game with the likes of Harry Kane , Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli not in the starting eleven. However, with so many important games still to play this season, the former Espanyol trainer may well be tempted to give his big guns a break and allow some fringe men to feature against Villa.

Real Madrid and Barcelona after Dele Alli
- January 08, 2017
The Spurs star won't consider a move until the summer transfer window when the Premier League season is over. Fifteen-capped England worldwide Alli - who now simply wears the name "Dele" on the back of his shirt as he feels "no connection with the Alli surname" - wore a black trench coat, black turtleneck, black chinos and beige desert boots as he watched the models strutting their stuff on the catwalk.

Alabama Crimson Tide Or Clemson Tigers?
- January 08, 2017
The outspoken Boulware is Clemson's leading tackler, and plays his final game in a Clemson uniform Monday. Alabama's probably the most talented defense in college football, so they can be a little simpler, and you kinda know more of what you're gonna get. (more...)

Westbrook has 17th triple-double in win
- January 08, 2017
Quicksilver: Russell Westbrook steals the ball and heads up court. The Most Valuable Player candidate recorded his league-leading 17th triple-double; 32 points, 17 rebounds, and 11 assists. It's a theory that got its name after the 1999 NBA playoffs when the Knicks won three out of four games to advance to the NBA Finals after losing Ewing to injury. (more...)

Ranieri: Leicester got 'revenge' on Everton
- January 08, 2017
I know what we need to change and the board knows because we spoke together about what we need and what the team needs. We needed to continue with the same attitude but we dropped and that's really bad. Surging down the wing, Deulofeu raced past Leicester defender Ben Chilwell and whipped over a cross that Lukaku tapped in from close-range. Ndidi, who helped Genk reach the knockout stages of this season's Europa League competition, will link up with Nigeria global forward Ahmed Musa at the ... (more...)

Howe had expressed his disappointment at Ake's impending return to Chelsea after Bournemouth's 3-0 FA Cup defeat to League One side Millwall on Saturday. It is easier said than to done to say we are going to go and recruit a player of a similar stature to Nathan. The Englishman told BBC Radio Solent: "It would be a huge blow to us as he's done so well". (more...)

Chelsea v Arsenal Could Be Key in Premier League Title Race
- January 08, 2017
How Chelsea react to defeat could be telling. But with 18 games left to play, which team will win the 2016-17 title? Pochettino, meanwhile, is preparing to shuffle his pack for his side's FA Cup clash with Aston Villa this Sunday. Even before the match it was unlikely any team other than Chelsea was going to win the title. Ten points separate the top six, and there is a gap of nine points between United in 6th, and Everton in 7th, creating a big six in the Premier League where there ... (more...)
