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.

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".

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.
