49ers To Sign FB Kyle Juszczyk To 4-Year Deal
- March 09, 2017
Juszczyk is a rarity in today's NFL. Kyle Shanahan makes use of the fullback, with Patrick DiMarco playing in 31 percent of offensive snaps past year in Atlanta. Juszczyk is the fourth big offensive addition the 49ers made on Wednesday, with general manager John Lynch making good on his message for 49ers fans to "stay awake" this week as free agency begins.

- March 09, 2017
Northern Kentucky earned the league's automatic bid to the tournament. The Penguins heated up in the second to go 18 of 30, but couldn't catch the Norse (23-10), who shot 31 of 62 for the game and 16 of 30 in the second half. Four minutes later, Wichmann hit a 3-pointer from the corner that had Milwaukee within three at 54-51 with 57.7 seconds to play. YSU cut the deficit in half at 22-18 before the Norse went on an 8-1 spurt that created the game's first double-digit gap at 30-19. (more...)

Dwayne Allen to be traded to Patriots
- March 09, 2017
Allen signed a four-year, $29.4 million deal last spring to remain with the Colts, but the former third-round pick (2012) was made expendable due to the emergence of Jack Doyle in 2016. The Patriots could also tap into a big-time class of tight ends in the draft if they want to groom another long-term answer at the position. Not that it should surprise anyone, but the Allen acquisition practically ensures that free agent Martellus Bennett won't be back in New England. (more...)

49ers Reunite Kyle Shanahan and Pierre Garcon
- March 08, 2017
The 6-foot, 209-pound Garcon has put up solid numbers and could be the 49ers' lead receiver. For the season, Garcon caught 79 passes for 1,041 yards and three touchdowns. The 30-year-old has finished the final season of the five-year, $42.5 million deal that he signed with Washington back in 2012. He is not a flashy name like Alshon Jeffery or Terrelle Pryor , but he would be a stabilizing option for whomever the 49ers bring in at quarterback. (more...)

- March 08, 2017
Elgar, who went into the match with an average of 38.60 from 50 Test innings, said he had to rely on his stubbornness at the crease to get through the day. New Zealand looked to benefit from turn shown on the block in two November Plunket Shield matches. "As the pitch dried out it was pretty clear that whoever won the toss would bat", said Hesson.

Hector Bellerin Speaks Out on Arsene Wenger's Future
- March 08, 2017
But maybe they felt that they could score again so it was OK for them to keep playing like this but, of course, then we played things really well. We played against a team who fights to win the competition. This gave the Bundesliga club a 10-2 aggregate victory. Arsenal was attempting an unlikely comeback after its horror show in Munich last month and was making a decent fist of it when Theo Walcott smashed in after 20 minutes. (more...)

- March 08, 2017
The 7-foot German became the sixth National Basketball Association player and the first global one to reach the milestone , joining four Hall of Famers and a future one in Kobe Bryant . Julius Randle did squeak in his third triple-double of the season, piling up 17 rebounds with 13 points and 10 assists. It was the fourth-straight loss for the struggling Thunder , who also couldn't stop Portland guard Allen Crabbe, who scored 23 points off the bench. (more...)

Ajantha Mendis scores 166* to power SL to 321-4 vs Bangladesh
- March 08, 2017
Bangladesh's reply nearly started in poor fashion when Sarkar's drive off Suranga Lakmal flew towards gully, but Perera reacted too slowly and put the chance down. Mendis and Dickwella took their stand beyond a century in the morning session, although the former was lucky Mustafizur Rahman overstepped the fine leg boundary when taking a catch off Subashis Roy's bowling.

Daniel Ricciardo: "The vehicle is starting to come alive"
- March 08, 2017
Wider tyres, larger wingspans and a 20kg weight increase will make the cars much harder to handle for the world's superstars. We're not sort of holding two seconds in our pocket. This afternoon we focused more on longer runs . "Then we tried the super-soft, ultra-soft, and ultimately my best time was on the ultra-soft, but it was not much quicker than the soft". (more...)

Tony Romo to be released by Dallas Cowboys Thursday
- March 08, 2017
After Dak Prescott emerged as the Cowboys' next savior at quarterback, the only real question was when and how Romo would leave town. The biggest question here is whether Romo will be traded or released. Alternatively, and this would be the much more likely option, the team could designate a Romo a June 1 cut, which would create much more cap space in 2017. (more...)

Mike Gillislee receives original round tender
- March 08, 2017
If they opt not to match, they would receive a fifth-round draft pick for Gillislee (his original draft round in 2013 by Miami) and nothing for Groy, a player who was not drafted. Groy started seven of Buffalo's 16 games last season. Enemkpali was brought in by former Bills coach Rex Ryan after Enemkpali broke the jaw of Jets' QB Geno Smith with a punch. (more...)
