Thomas scores 33, Celtics beat Bulls to tie series
- May 03, 2017
Gerald Green thrived in the starting lineup for the Celtics, scoring a playoff career-high 18 points. Isaiah Thomas is playing through tears after the death of his sister, drawing strength from the rest of the Boston Celtics. I have a great deal of respect for him. The next year, in 2009, the Chicago Bulls also took the Celtics to seven games. The Bulls went ahead 65-63 on Robin Lopez's hook shot with 4:35 left in the quarter. (more...)

Jets decline to pick up 5th-year option on Calvin Pryor
- May 03, 2017
On the trading block for a while, Pryor has been a disappointment since being selected in the first round of the 2014 draft. They reportedly shopped him during last week's NFL Draft. Bowles' defenses have featured three safeties before - most notably, when he was the defensive coordinator in Arizona. He is counting only $2.7 million ($1.6 million guaranteed) against this year's salary cap, and coach Todd Bowles said he can use Pryor in three-safety packages with the two rookies. (more...)

It's 50-50, as it always is in the knockout stages", Real's manager Zinedine Zidane, 45, said ahead of the match , per ESPN FC . Tonight's game is expected to be a tactical one with Atletico Madrid aiming for an away goal and then shutting shop. (more...)

Chelsea missed out on signing Monaco's Kylian Mbappe for £17000
- May 03, 2017
No other French team has made the last four a couple of times. "They do not have the same history as Juventus but that does not mean it will be easy for us to make it to the final". Juventus , alongside Real Madrid, are the only unbeaten team in this season's Champions League (W7 D3) and haven't conceded a goal for 531 minutes, the current longest run in the competition.

Bears sign OT Sowell to 1-year deal
- May 03, 2017
He also started 12 games at left tackle for the Cardinals in 2013. The move to sign Sowell should not be too surprising. "Sowell (6'7", 309) will join Tom Compton and William Poehls, in trying to win a back up tackle spot behind starters Bobby Massie and Charles Leno Jr . (more...)

Bears sign OT Bradley Sowell to 1-year contract
- May 03, 2017
He was with the Arizona Cardinals from 2013-2015, appearing in every game, making 12 starts in 2013. He spent previous year with the Seattle Seahawks, starting nine of the ten games he played in. The Bears have reportedly added another veteran offensive lineman to the roster. That being said, Sowell is probably not going to push him for a starting job. (more...)

Packers open 2nd round by taking Washington CB Kevin King
- May 03, 2017
I just want to get coached up, learn, pick the brains of him and just go to work and continue to build on my God-given abilities. "If you looked at old pictures of me growing up, it was all green and gold. His height would make King the tallest cornerback on the Packers roster from previous year, and he sees that size as an advantage heading to the NFL. (more...)

After No. 1 Garrett, a lot of offense
- May 03, 2017
Garrett will be hoping that his influence can improve fortunes for the Browns, who haven't made the play-offs since the 2002 season. Cleveland acquired the 25th pick earlier in the evening from the Houston Texans. Maybe the Browns will regret not selecting Watson, who I personally think was the best quarterback in this draft . He joins STEVE FULLER (23rd overall by Kansas City in 1979) as the only Tiger quarterbacks to be selected in the first round since 1967. (more...)

Deshaun Watson bought his mom her 'first official car' for her birthday
- May 03, 2017
While Texans coach Bill O'Brien and general manager Rick Smith said Tom Savage remains the team's starting quarterback, Houston didn't invest two first-round picks in Watson to keep him on the bench. "Film study is the key to being a great quarterback", he said. "I felt that he was a guy that answered the questions very honestly, had a good memory, good recall of specific plays that happened during his college career". (more...)

Heading Into Game 4, Are The Pacers Done?

Of course, it helps to have James on your team. After telling C.J. Miles that shots with the outcome of the game at stake belong to George after Game 2, George bricked a potential game-tying three-pointer with 1.9 seconds left that sealed the end to the Pacers' season. (more...)

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho slams club's 'not human' schedule
- May 02, 2017
I have zero criticism. Following a draw against Everton in early April, Mourinho said that while Shaw played well, he said he had to constantly direct Shaw from the sideline. "So it doesn't matter if I go with (Matteo) Darmian central defender, if I go with Carrick or Axel Tuanzebe". Rashford earned his side a spot-kick just before half-time at Old Trafford , which Wayne Rooney duly converted, but replays showed the teenager's tumble had already begun before he brushed the arm of ...

Joshua-Klitschko snapshot bears uncanny resemblance to iconic Muhammad Ali photo
- May 02, 2017
We could rematch Klitschko again. I was screaming, pulling my hair out - or what little hair I've got left - because I was anxious it would cost us millions! "I would just like to congratulate AJ for getting through the nip-and-tuck, life-and-death situation, against an old man, so well done", Fury told Tim Hobbs of Sky Sports . (more...)

Emre Can's overhead screamer gives Liverpool win over Watford
- May 02, 2017
We need in football this type of luck. "At the end I thought we were pushing them.we were unlucky not to come away with a draw". "So we have to fight for what we can fight for and that's a Champions League place". After Can's wonder goal versus Watford , many Liverpool fans reacted in pretty much the same way, urging the hierarchy at Anfield to reach an agreement. (more...)

Bills decline to pick up Watkins' fifth-year option
- May 02, 2017
Buffalo gave up two draft picks including its 2015 first-round selection to move up five spots. Given his significant health issues (he's played only 21 of 36 games the last two years and has had two surgeries on it) and relatively stagnant production, it's not a surprise the Bills aren't willing to pay him that much money.

Watford FC (0) Liverpool (1): Can Stunner Puts Reds Back in Control
- May 02, 2017
Liverpool secured a 1-0 win against the Hornets with a goal-of-the-season contender from German midfielder Emre Can, who acrobatically converted Lucas' chip in first-half injury time. As reported by the club's official website , Klopp said: "If you're not positive [about Can] after this game, this goal, then something is wrong!" "I said to the players after the game, if they want to kill me, that's a good way to try it". (more...)

Pep Guardiola says David Silva is a major doubt for Manchester derby
- May 02, 2017
Guardiola's first campaign at City risks ending in the worst EPL finish for the club in seven seasons. One issue for United heading into the game though is the alarmingly long injury list that Mourinho is having to cope with. Mourinho also confirmed that Antonio Valencia and Ander Herrera are fit to return. If the first Manchester derby of the season was excessively dominated by the focus on a fascinating coaching rivalry, Thursday's encounter is strictly business. (more...)
