W helps, running game a worry for Vikings
- September 17, 2016
In case you missed it, Shaun Hill had a better grasp of the offense than Bradford and the Vikings decided for Week 1, they were going to go ahead and go with the more conservative approach. We've got video of them with the designed out-of-the-pocket [plays], but that's not what they're there for. The 2016 Vikings season opener certainly had its ups and downs. (more...)

On July 21, just 45 days ago, Watt underwent surgery to fix a herniated disk in his back. Watt underwent back surgery in late July and his status for Week 1 seemed iffy through August. "2.

Andrew Luck has a huge game in loss to the Lions
- September 17, 2016
If you are going to espouse the concepts of "running the ball and stopping the run" you should, you know, be good at one of those things. Given the Lions' history, it was hard not to wonder if past year was repeating itself, especially when the Colts rolled to a touchdown with relative ease on their first possession of the second half, converting a two-point conversion in the process.

Liverpool beats Chelsea 2-1 in English Premier League
- September 17, 2016
In the second half it was a bit more hard. "We did it really well after they scored". Antonio Conte said he is not anxious about the potential ban Diego Costa could receive in the 2016/17 Premier League. It worked, initially, but then the brilliant Wijnaldum and the disciplined Henderson helped Liverpool regain control and Chelsea couldn't find an equalizer. (more...)

England Captain Wayne Rooney Happy With New Role
- September 17, 2016
Allardyce, who took over from Roy Hodgson in July, says he "can't stop" Rooney from dropping into midfield, adding the player has a "lot more experience at worldwide football" than he does.
