- April 28, 2018
Kirk chose to play for then-Texas A&M coach and current Arizona Wildcats coach Kevin Sumlin ahead of offers from Arizona State, Arizona, Alabama and over two dozen other schools. Kirk closed his career with 13 catches for 189 yards and three touchdowns in a 55-52 Belk Bowl loss to Wake Forest last Decmeber.

Shea Patterson will be eligible to play for MI in 2018
- April 28, 2018
The Ole Miss athletic department told the NCAA earlier this month it didn't support Patterson's original request because they believed the basis of his claim - that former coach Hugh Freeze convinced him and others to stay at Ole Miss past year by lying about the scope and potential punishment of the NCAA's investigation into the program - was untrue.

Lions trade with Patriots to draft RB Kerryon Johnson
- April 28, 2018
So he pulled the trigger early, pulling off a trade with New England to move up eight spots and take Auburn tailback Kerryon Johnson with the 43rd overall pick in the National Football League draft. Detroit drafted Arkansas center Frank Ragnow with the No. 20 overall pick Thursday night, hoping they both can boost their lackluster running game and keep franchise quarterback Matthew Stafford upright more often.

Chicago Cubs Kris Bryant Out Of Lineup Against Brewers
- April 28, 2018
The Brewers arrived in Chicago with an eight-game winning streak. Dan Jennings took the loss. "Tough play up the middle", Counsell said. I'm just listening to him, listening to what his needs are right now. The Brewers had tied the game in the top of the seventh on a Christian Yelich sac-fly. Suter allowed two runs and five hits in five innings. Thursday's 1-0 win over the Brewers marked the third consecutive game Bryant has missed. (more...)

New York Jets select QB Sam Darnold
- April 28, 2018
With 302 yards, Mayfield was one of only two quarterbacks to top 300 yards against UT's secondary in 2017 . That left the Jets in position to take a player many deem the best quarterback in the class, and they did not hesitate. One more QB deal finished the round. The Browns returned at pick number four and again made a slightly surprising move, opting for Ohio State cornerback Denzel Ward to strengthen an area of weakness rather than NC State defensive end Bradley Chubb - ...

McCown realizes his age after Jets draft quarterback heir in Darnold
- April 28, 2018
So apparently, the Bills are psyched to have a guy who will complete 56 percent of his passes in crappy Buffalo weather. It is hard to make that transition to step right in there and do that. "Everybody's draft board is set up differently, and when I recite to you all 'the best available player in this draft for the Cleveland Browns organization, ' this was the best available player", Dorsey said in a press conference after the first-round selections were made Thursday night.

Salah named footballer of the year in England
- April 27, 2018
In many ways, Salah is the ideal player to have the spotlight trained on him, as he is the first to deflect praise onto his team-mates for the role they play in his success. Salah moved from AS Rome to Liverpool in July 2017 for an initial fee of € 42 million ($ 51.6 million). He is also the first Egyptian and Arab player who scored a hattrick and super-hattrick in the premier league after scoring four goals to Liverpool against Watford this season. (more...)

Draft-Ravens Second Day
- April 27, 2018
Some analysts seem to believe Jackson is a one-read-then-run quarterback who can't manage a pocket under pressure . If Jackson is able to develop his pass accuracy a bit, he can be a scary player, but even if he isn't, we've seen highly-athletic quarterbacks with powerful arms and slight accuracy issues have a lot of success in the NFL (Vick come to mind).

Europa League: Griezmann strikes as Atletico punish Arsenal
- April 27, 2018
The Gunners must first negotiate a tough two-legged Europa League semi-final against Atletico Madrid and then win the final in Lyon on May 16 in what Wenger will hope to be his last match in charge. Three experienced players couldn't shut the door on one opponent and that has cost them so much tonight, I fear. "To stand firm as they did after such a long season, for 80 minutes, was tremendous".
