Hull City v Swansea City
- March 11, 2017
Silva's first game in charge was a 2-0 home win against Swansea in the FA Cup, with Hull also winning by an identical scoreline at the Liberty Stadium in August.

But then you look at their performance against England, when only undone by a 76th-minute try - and to a lesser extent in the first 40 minutes against the Scots, when they should have led by far more than the 13-9 interval scoreline - and you saw a half-decent side. (more...)

Russell Westbrook leads the Thunder past the Spurs

Anyway, the MVP race! San Antonio was unrecognizable throughout the game, either because of Oklahoma's merit, which left the Texas franchise in a mere 92 points, or demerit of Spurs, that with the losses of Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Kyle Anderson, did not know to play for victory. (more...)

Phil Dawson thanks 49ers and fans for 'great four years'
- March 11, 2017
The news came the same day the Cardinals reportedly declined to re-sign Catanzaro, who missed as many field goals last season (seven) as he did in his first two National Football League seasons. I have always been a proponent of this method ever since the National Football League moved up the line where kickoffs begin and set touchbacks to the 25 yard line instead of the 20, but it definitely comes with more risk of elite returners being able to get better field position.
