Knicks continue pursuit of Carmelo Anthony-for-Kevin Love swap
- February 02, 2017
Sources within the Cavaliers camp said the team remains interested in Anthony and finds it intriguing to combine the nine-time NBA All-Star alongside Cavs star and close friend LeBron James . If a trade involving Anthony and Love indeed is off the table, NY might have to get creative, and apparently it's still testing the waters. As Shelburne and Stein point out, Anthony's contract could complicate trade talks with any club. (more...)

TE Bennett probably won't visit White House if Pats win Super Bowl
- February 02, 2017
When President Barack Obama honored the 1972 Miami Dolphins four years ago, three members of the Dolphins, Jim Langer, Bob Kuechenberg and Manny Fernandez declined to attend . The Falcons star has passed for 18 touchdowns and no interceptions over his last six games.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant looking forward to Super Bowl chance
- February 02, 2017
Some key stats: Brady was held to 96 yards passing, his completion percentage was 53.3, while the Falcons had their most success through the air (only 17 yards rushing). In that same poll, it was clear that not many fans really like the Patriots - outside of their supporters in New England, of course. Ryan meanwhile will be appearing in his first Super Bowl.

Martellus Bennett Might Boycott White House Visit If Patriots Win Super Bowl
- February 02, 2017
Bennett prefers to keep things upbeat. The last time the Falcons were in the big game was 1998 when they lost in Super Bowl XXXIII to the Denver Broncos 34-19. Wilson's disappointing 2016 campaign, by his metrics, saw high points in wins against Atlanta at home and New England on the road. "I expect them to make him a priority this offseason, as he's been an integral part of the dynamic offense that has gotten them to the Super Bowl". (more...)

Jesus helps Man City thrash West Ham
- February 02, 2017
City's win now puts it 10 points behind the leaders, but only trailing Liverpool in fourth on goal difference. But here the gap in quality could not be bridged with hustle and belief, and as De Bruyne tore through the Hammers defence, Pep Guardiola's remarks last week that his team were out of the title race seemed premature.

Goodell did not attend either of the Patriots' home playoff games this postseason on their way to Sunday's Super Bowl against the Falcons. "We applied the discipline in accordance with our process".

Three Burning Questions Leading Up to Super Bowl LI
- February 02, 2017
I've learned a lot, I mean, just watching from afar. And being a quarterback at all the different levels that he was, that allows him to have a better understanding and maybe a better relationship with his quarterback. "I think he has the ability to have that", Freeney said. White broke out with a 10-catch, 115-yard, one-touchdown performance against the Eagles in December of that season and caught 28 balls over the team's final five regular-season games. (more...)

- February 02, 2017
Jesus arrived at the North-West club with plenty of promise after scoring 12 league goals for his former Brazilian club a year ago, but not many fans would have predicted the instant impact. Payet was granted his wish to return to his former club Marseille after several weeks of rancour over his attempt to engineer the transfer. So amid all the focus on ageing full-backs and keepers, as well as the hullabaloo surrounding Toure's return - and he was excellent against West Ham - nearly by ... (more...)
