Redskins sign unrestricted free agent linebacker Chris Carter
- March 18, 2017
Butler plans to move to safety this season after beginning to make the conversion last season. Butler's main asset is his versatility, capable of playing in a number of secondary roles. Butler rejoins third-year safety Clayton Geathers and second-year safety T.J. Green in a position group that will welcome his experience. It's also likely that we'll see the Colts play Geathers in the box some like they did previous year, which would mean that Butler and Green could be the safeties in that ... (more...)

Sean Dyche: Sunderland fans will be expecting a win against Burnley
- March 18, 2017
A lot of performances away from home were way off the mark earlier in the season, but that's not been the case in the main recently. They have won three, drawn seven and lost the rest.

Rams re-sign kicker Greg Zuerlein to 3-year deal
- March 17, 2017
Rams announce they have agreed to terms with K Greg Zuerlein on 3 year contract.

Buffalo , Groy's previous team, has five days to match the offer, or allow Groy to sign with the Rams . The 19 field goals was a career low, but that could be tied directly to the Rams having the NFL's worst offense for the second season in a row. (more...)

Gennady Golovkin vs Daniel Jacobs
- March 17, 2017
This is not only a lifelong dream for me, but so many people out there doubted me. Jacobs has worked hard to inspire others and since his return in 2012, he's 10-0 inside the ring with 10 knockouts. Quigley idolizes Mexican fighters. The fight could be over in a few rounds, but the explosiveness will likely linger in the minds of fight fans long after the smoke of battle had cleared. (more...)

Yes, and you could see Pep was disappointed too but what he said was right - they have to learn from it. Monaco did it for 45 minutes in the south of France in midweek to wipe out a two-goal deficit but found themselves under pressure after the break and only a late goal which levelled the aggregate score at 6-6 allowed them to progress on away goals.
