Paxton Lynch: The Future Is Now for the Denver Broncos
- August 24, 2016
From the moment the offseason program began, Paxton Lynch has been cemented in as the number three quarterback behind veteran Mark Sanchez, and second year man Trevor Siemian. The Broncos have no choice but to start the season off with the vet, and if the struggles occur then make the switch, but you do not open a Super Bowl possible season with an unproven player while a capable vet sits on the bench, that's backwards, that's Houston Texans football there.

- August 24, 2016
The US beat Serbia 94-91 in the preliminary round, but proved it is a different story when the gold medal is on stake on Sunday. You can have a great season, but to do it for many, many years, it says a lot. The U.S. earned bronze. "We fought and gave it everything, playing for our people". Lillard has had a rocky relationship with USA Basketball. Colangelo took over and did the one thing that needed to be done. (more...)

Omnium Win Makes Laura Trott Most Successful Female Olympian
- August 24, 2016
The 28-year-old from Bolton won his Keirin heat to advance to the second round, effectively a semi-final, but Callum Skinner was eliminated after being relegated from his repechage heat for impeding a rival rider.

Manchester United ready to accept £2million transfer fee for unwanted Bastian Schweinsteiger
- August 24, 2016
Should the Argentinian be open to joining Monaco, it could benefit United immeasurably in any negotiations for Fabinho. Bastian Schweinsteiger and Marcos Rojo are the two players tipped to leave Old Trafford this summer. Even more incredible to think that the man who scored the goal of the season in that inaugural year could die such a desperate, unnecessary death, at such a young age, last week. (more...)

- August 24, 2016
Chelsea are expected to ring the changes when they host Bristol Rovers in the second round of the EFL Cup. Out of four games played, they have a total of four points and languish in the 18th position on the table. With all six of the goals scored in Conte's first two matches having been scored in the second half, odds of 10/11 (1.91 ) seem more than fair on the majority of the action taking place after the break once again versus a Rovers team that has scored just two first-half goals in ...
