Romo injury makes rookie Prescott sudden starter for Cowboys
- August 29, 2016
While coach Jason Garrett isn't inclined to map out a precise timetable for the QB's return to action, the report does acknowledge that Romo "is likely several weeks away from playing again". "I think the biggest thing for all of us is focus on doing our jobs". Prescott and 2015 UDFAJameill Showers as the only healthy quarterbacks on the roster. (more...)

Dustin Pedroia falls short of historic hitting streak
- August 29, 2016
He finished the night 1-for-4 and is now hitting.320/.359/.561 with 29 homers, 94 RBI and 21 stolen bases in what has been an MVP-caliber season. He allowed one run on eight hits in 6 2/3 innings. Meanwhile, the Red Sox are 2-8 in their last 10 game threes of a series, and 3-7 in Rodriguez's last 10 starts. But he left with a runner on after 5 1/3 innings and wound up charged for two earned runs in the game. (more...)

- August 29, 2016
Much like in previous seasons, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been under pressure from some Gunners fans to spend money in the transfer market. After a brief bright spell from the hosts, Arsenal (1-1-1) struck on the break as Theo Walcott delivered a mouth-watering cross for Sanchez to bundle. (more...)

Felix, Merritt help bring United States medal total to 31 in track
- August 29, 2016
On replay, however, it became apparent that a Brazilian runner had bumped Felix upon entering the exchange zone, directly leading to the fumbled baton. Canada earned bronze, while the United States - who has won every women's soccer tournament since the 2000 games in Sydney - came up empty. "Two golds, a silver, I can't complain", she said.

Olympics Rio 2016: Mo Farah wins 'double double' after 5000m masterclass
- August 29, 2016
As usual, Farah started off at the back of the pack, waiting for the race to really get going. I just had to be alert. "I did it again here and it's been incredible". "When you see them cry, when you see them not eating as well, being a father and having four kids is not easy and seeing my wife struggle, that's the hard part". (more...)

- August 29, 2016
Police are blocking Ireland's top four Olympic executives from leaving Brazil as their ticket scalping investigation expanded with a raid on the team on the final day of the Rio de Janeiro Games. No arrests were made but the officials agreed to attend a local police station on August 23 for questioning.

Urias matures on mound in Dodgers' 3-2 win over Cubs
- August 29, 2016
The All-Star might even get a chance to reach over the wall at Yankee Stadium to grab a long drive by Gary Sanchez - the NY newcomer has hit 11 home runs in just 21 games this season. "There's nothing wrong with me mechanically". Maddon walked out from the dugout with two runners on and one out in the third inning. But Zastryzny, who had pitched 3 ⅔ scoreless innings in two appearances for the Cubs prior to Saturday, came in to relieve Hammel and did the same, allowing only one hit, ... (more...)

Ibrahimovic brace sinks Southampton as Pogba returns

Ibrahimovic , who met Wayne Rooney's fine cross with a thumping header in the 36th minute, led the line with an Eric Cantona-esque air of self-belief as United played with the swagger that has been missing since the retirement of all-conquering former manager Alex Ferguson in 2013. (more...)

Arenado has HR, 4 hits, Rockies top Nats
- August 29, 2016
It was the 24th homer of the season for Gonzalez and just the second extra-inning win for Colorado this year. It was Ramos' 20th homer of the season, and the Rockies lead 4-2 heading to the top of the eighth. He extended it to 18-straight with a leadoff home run in the first. The next pitch was another fastball, Giolito's fifth straight and a tick slower at 93 miles per hour, and David Dahl smacked it into the Rockies' bullpen beyond the left field wall. (more...)

Antonio sparks celebrations at new stadium
- August 29, 2016
Only sport has the capacity for such twists. The odds perhaps favoured Michail Antonio heading a late victor in the week he was derided by the shirt sponsor of West Ham United. The game loosened up a little after the break and Bournemouth came out well, with Jordan Ibe opting to pass instead of shoot when in an excellent position and Josh King seeing a long-range shot parried away by Adrian.

Pence: Trump is 'a CEO at work' on immigration
- August 29, 2016
At this point in the 2016 campaign, odds are that only something big will be able to dramatically shift the campaign and throw the Clinton-Trump race in a different direction. Trump, who also met Thursday in NY with members of a new Republican Party initiative meant to train young - and largely minority - volunteers, has been working to win over blacks and Latinos in light of his past inflammatory comments and has been claiming that the Democrats have taken minority voters' support for ...

Cowboys' Dak Prescott Ready To Take Over In Tony Romo's Stead
- August 29, 2016
Rookie Dak Prescott has played well during preseason games, but Garrett wasn't anointing him the starter for the Cowboys' Sept. 11 opener against the New York Giants, just as he wasn't ruling Romo out. I know its hard to walk away from a National Football League career, ask Peyton Manning. I think Tony Romo should retire to keep from doing more damage to his body, do you agree? "That's players and that's coaches", Garrett said. (more...)

White shot 41.2 percent from long range and made 2.6 three-pointers per game.

With score evened, McGregor wants Diaz in lightweight match
- August 29, 2016
But the ground work laid by McGregor in the first few rounds proved too much for Diaz to overcome. Indeed, McGregor has decisions to make but his star draw has never been brighter. We expected the war in these fights - one of them could go and finish the other guy quick, or it could be a five-round war. McGregor might want to defend his 145-pound title against Jose Aldo, who got beat by McGregor previous year. (more...)

The American star, who is also chasing a record seventh crown in NY, has been struggling with a right shoulder injury which contributed to an early loss at the Olympics and forced a withdrawal from last week's Cincinnati tournament.
