Talib's pick-six sparks Broncos defense
- September 27, 2016

If DeMarcus Ware misses extended time with a fractured ulna, Ray will need to step up even more. He was consistently getting pressure, and surprisingly enough notched his first sack on Luck in his career. I was like, 'Man, get back. "That was a great run on his part". Just like in Super Bowl 50 against Carolina, Miller blew around the right side of Indianapolis' line and pulled the ball from Luck's grasp. (more...)

Prescott-Wentz showdown on horizon? Well, Romo might be back
- September 27, 2016

If you're anything like me while watching the Dallas Cowboys take on the Chicago Bears Sunday night, then you pretty much had a smile plastered on your face throughout 99% of the game. The final Chicago score came with 6:28 left in the game when Hoyer hit Miller on a 6-yard TD pass. They play the Packers in primetime in Week 7 and the Vikings in primetime in Week 8. (more...)

- September 27, 2016

The 32-year-old has been dealing with blood clots ever since a scare in February 2015. Riley says Bosh will not be on that trip. "It's pretty definitive for us in our position". "Little setbacks happen, but that doesn't change my intentions I want to accomplish". For the first few months of the regular season a year ago, Dragic was frustrated he wasn't able to play his game alongside Wade and Bosh. (more...)

Well, here's the Vols chance to shut everyone up against a very good defensive front. "I'm extremely confident in what Appleby can do". Similar to Tennessee's quarterback play, the offensive line was a unit expected to show progress in 2016. (more...)

Oklahoma State, Baylor under weather delay in Texas
- September 27, 2016

Baylor wide receiver Ishmael Zamora caught the pass for the score. "It's coaches. We've got to coach them better and put them in better position". If Oklahoma State manages to put up points off of the gaffe, Grobe may be singing a different tune after the game. (more...)

Europe beats Sweden in OT, advances to final
- September 27, 2016

But there were the Swedes, watching incredulously as Team Europe gathered in one corner of the Air Canada Center ice to jump up and down in unison after Tomas Tatar converted a hard Mats Zuccarello cross-ice pass into the dramatic game victor just 3:43 into extra time. (more...)

Rampant Dortmund will put stuttering Real to the test
- September 27, 2016

Karim Bellarabi is out until the end of the year with a groin injury. Last time both teams played in Germany, Borussia Dortmund won 2-0. We're already thinking about tomorrow's game. Since then they have won three in a row in all competitions, though. - Sporting and Legia's only previous encounters were in the Last 32 of the 2011-12 Europa League. (more...)

Chargers' Te'o out for season with torn Achilles tendon
- September 27, 2016

He will have an MRI on Monday to confirm, but Te'o is likely done for the season. However, Te'o simply went down without any contact, one of the worst things to see happen to an athlete on the field. "It didn't feel too good", Te'o said . The San Diego Chargers' streak of losing key players to season-ending injuries has reached three weeks. Denzel Perryman will take over as the defensive playcaller for the Chargers , while rookie Jatavis Brown will replace Te'o in the starting lineup. (more...)

Nationals rally against Rivero, beat Pirates 10-7
- September 27, 2016

Nationals: Tanner Roark (15-9 2.70 ERA) had his start pushed back one day after the Nationals clinched the NL East on Saturday night. Harper was replaced by Chris Heisey in right field for the bottom of the third. Cole and the excitable Sean Rodriguez got thrown out, a odd broadcast in which Rob King had to fill in for a laryngitis-stricken Greg Brown - felt a lot like one of those places. (more...)

Yasiel Puig and Dodgers mock Madison Bumgarner with T-shirts
- September 27, 2016

The Los Angeles Dodgers have a pivotal series against their arch rivals, the San Francisco Giants, just two weeks before the end of the 2016 regular season. Kershaw gave up an unearned run and three hits over six innings in his third start since returning from a back injury. Said triumph apparently put the Dodgers in a festive mood, as they conspired to make light of Mad Bum's particular objections via high-fashion menswear. (more...)

Rory McIlroy rallies from 3 back to win Tour Championship in playoff
- September 27, 2016

So it would be two great championships to add to the résumé. But with Rory McIlroy's 4-under 66 Saturday, a scenario arose that would leave Johnson trophy-less. Casey finished the season in fifth on the FedEx Cup standings. In the past four years, the victor of the TOUR Championship and FedExCup Playoffs was in the top five entering East Lake: 2015 ( Jordan Spieth , second); 2014 (Billy Horschel, second); 2013: (Henrik Stenson, second); and 2012 (Brandt Snedeker, fifth).

Purple People Eaters are back? Vikings starting to think so
- September 27, 2016

Those would be the 3-0 Vikings, who actually two-upped what the Broncos did in that February game on Sunday, sacking Newton eight times, including a much-needed spark from an early safety. "If you want to be a playoff team you have to win at home", Panthers offensive tackle Michael Oher said. Rudolph had a nice little stat line of seven catches for 70 yards and a touchdown. (more...)

Klopp looking for angry players to face Hull
- September 27, 2016

It is a struggle to see Hull getting anything out of this fixture. "I've got nothing to say about this here, but like always, when I decide for the next game, it's a decision for the player and not against another player". We are the top scorers in the league since January and look more together and united than any other side in the country right now. "I don't want to say anything about Hull ". (more...)

Jimmy Garoppolo has a theory on why Julian Edelman is so clutch
- September 27, 2016

I think, maybe three for one isn't out of reach. The Patriots and Garoppolo have long-waited the season opener, and now the day has passed, and New England has their first victory on the year. Belichick finds ways to win. Against one of the better defenses in the league, away, in prime time, severely missing key starters, Garoppolo walked onto the field and went basically toe-to-toe with Carson Palmer , who had a very healthy team, especially in comparison.

"Something for Major League Baseball to consider: A Jose Fernandez spirit award, presented to the player who best exemplifies love and passion for the game". (more...)

Manchester City in flawless start but Pep Guardiola insists on progress
- September 27, 2016

How should City line up without De Bruyne? "It never ends in football - always you can play better". Pep Guardiola says his players "have permission to play awful" while they adjust to his new system at Manchester City. That prognosis would rule De Bruyne out for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Celtic as well as big Premier League tilts at second-place Tottenham Hotspur next weekend and at home against fifth-place Everton on October 15. (more...)

Patriots Preparing Julian Edelman To Be Emergency QB
- September 27, 2016

The quarterback was listed as doubtful due to his shoulder injury in the final injury report before Thursday night's game, meaning his chances of playing are slim. The Patriots are generally healthy, but they're not the same team with Brady and possibly Garoppolo sidelined. In 2014, shortly after the team selected Garoppolo in the second round, Belichick dropped a not-so-subtle hint that they were not about to go through the same freefall that happened in Indy after the Colts lost Peyton ...

PGA National honors the memory of Arnold Palmer
- September 27, 2016

Arnold's freewheeling fearless approach to the game inspired a generation of golfers and, for the first time on TV, enthralled an audience across the world.
