- September 27, 2016
Former world No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki denied teenage sensation Naomi Osaka her first title on the WTA Tour with a 7-5, 6-3 win in the Pan Pacific Open final on Sunday. Wozniacki had twice come from a break down in the first set, but she rolled out to a 5-0 lead in the second. But she had to claw her way back from 3-1 down in both the second and third sets against Radwanska, finally ending the Pole's resistance on her fourth match point by forcing her into a loose forehand she dumped tamely ...

- September 27, 2016
ABOUT UTAH (3-0, 0-0): The Utes delivered 10 sacks against San Jose and look to get after Darnold against one of the most experienced offensive lines in the country. The loss was fresh, but in six days, they faced another Pac-12 road test at Utah . The Utes are two for two on fourth down. Jackson is an explosive player on defense, offense and special teams, and he can make a big play every time the ball comes near him. (more...)

Arsenal's Xhaka needs time to adjust - Wenger
- September 27, 2016
Sanchez took responsibility ahead of regular taker Santi Cazorla but Hull goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic saved his effort. "I thought the first 40 minutes, up until the sending off, were quite even though Arsenal had a lot of the ball". "Well, look, I started him past year because I've seen that there's something in him that is quality of vision, quality of give and go, his movement", Wenger said of Iwobi . (more...)

Sproles feinted inside, outside, inside, safety Sean Davis running in front of him, trying to look back to get a bead but never finding Sproles, until Sproles was crossing into the end zone and it didn't matter. We've got to have a better plan. "We have to execute better". The Philadelphia Eagles' starting quarterback has completed 60.6 percent of his passes for 658 yards and three touchdowns. (more...)

Carson Wentz's bandwagon is getting full
- September 27, 2016
Whatever else might be said of the game-and you can rest assured that we will have a great deal to say over the course of the next week, and have already had much to say in the hours after the game-at the very least, Brown does deserve credit for bouncing back after having one of his more uninspiring outings in years.

Ryan Fitzpatrick: It's on me and I'll rebound
- September 27, 2016
This wasn't the usual quick kill. No quarterback had thrown six interceptions in a game since 2007, and if we're talking about the coverage here, no team has had six interceptions without even a single sack since 1986. It still did a day after a 24-3 loss at Kansas City. He was actually very fortunate that the Chiefs dropped a few passes or else he would have entered the National Football League record book for most interceptions thrown (seven) in a game. (more...)

West Ham's season summed up by amusing viral video
- September 27, 2016
I do that when we are winning also. The Saints' chief creator, Dusan Tadic, freed Bertrand once more after 40 minutes, whose pull back was expertly slotted home by Austin. But definitely these are the same players and same manager and crowd that were doing it past year. Austin's goal and assist at the Olympic Stadium gave Southampton a 3-0 victory over a team whose top official had said he wouldn't sign the player due to the state of his knee. (more...)

The memorable win over Manchester United in the last game at Upton Park may just have papered over the cracks appearing in a team already on the slide. It is not an excuse, but it is a reason. "Everyone was buzzing off of last season, but then people get carried away, as this club does, and starts talking about the Champions League, but at the minute we are just looking for points".
