Guardiola: City Will Find Top Four Finish Tough
- September 29, 2016
And Guardiola, one of the guys who know the most about football today, thinks the Citizens actually need a setback, a bad result and a bad performance in order to improve.

Trojans blow a two-touchdown lead to Utah
- September 29, 2016
A battle of West Coast teams takes place Friday night in college football when the USC Trojans are on the road to play the Utah Utes. On Friday night, the Utah quarterback showed the storied program what it missed. The environment at Rice-Eccles Stadium should be electric with the crowd throwing a blackout and the hype around the fact that USC is in town.

Lions Comeback Attempt Falls Short At Green Bay
- September 29, 2016
Also encouraging was the fact that Eddie Lacy went over 100 yards on the ground on just 17 carries. Whatever problems the Packers' offense might have had in the first two weeks of the season, they weren't on display today in Green Bay. The Lions play the Chicago Bears (0-3) at Soldier Field on Sunday. When it looked like Dwayne Washington had been stuffed on third down on the one-yard line, Caldwell elected to go for the end zone on fourth down . (more...)

Cook, FSU look to get back on track against USF
- September 29, 2016
Last season against South Florida , the Seminoles' Saturday opponent, Cook ran for 266 yards. Touchdowns tend to top the reels of most running backs' highlight films. Amba Etta-Tawo caught 12 passes for a school-record 270 yards and 2 touchdowns and Syracuse (2-2) beat CT (2-2) 31-24 in East Hartford, Conn. "I'm very disappointed in our defense!" So, in a way, maybe the game offered an ideal outcome for Fisher: An emphatic win the week after a disappointing loss, with still enough ... (more...)

He stopped 16-of-17 shots in the first, his brilliance continuing with 15 more saves in a second period controlled by the Canadians. (more...)

Pats QB Brissett has injured right thumb
- September 29, 2016
The Texans (2-1) were done in by a number of things Thursday night, none more glaring than turnovers on special teams. The Patriots are 3-0 after defeating the Houston Texans 27-0 on Thursday. Here it is two years later and Gray only has 588 rushing yards for his career. "A lot of the veteran players stepped up and helped me out a lot, giving me confidence, the coaching staff gave me confidence, just everything went from there", said Brissett, a third-round pick out of North Carolina ...

Martin Shkreli auctions punch to the face
- September 29, 2016
Martin Shkreli, the founder and chief executive of Turing Pharmaceuticals, infamously raised the cost of life-saving treatment for people with HIV and weakened immune systems from $13.50 per pill to $750 a year ago.

Theo Walcott says Arsenal have the experience to win big games
- September 29, 2016
And that's not always easy to find a good balance in this kind of game. We must change this. It had been a bad season for him, losing his place in the Arsenal team, starting just one of their final 14 matches of the season. "I don't want to talk about the mistakes because it's not right for the player". "I don't like this". Today was a good test to see if that was real, if we could continue to move upwards. (more...)

Fitzpatrick throws 6 INTs in Jets' 24-3 loss to KC
- September 29, 2016
Honestly, there was no excuse for losing so soundly. It's not going to be the last time we face adversity. His six interceptions tied a Jets record, one set three times by Joe Namath (who made it to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, if that's any more consolation). (more...)

Black Caps in the fight on opening day
- September 29, 2016
As India won the toss and opted to bat first, the picture was clear and it went clearer when Gavaskar was talking about the pitch "This pitch is a little different because when we played, it was more brownish; now it's more beige-colored". The Indian spinners are going to enjoy the home conditions - the heat, the humidity, the dust demons and all - and the best way for Kumble and Kohli to blunt criticism against the pitches is by making the Indian batsmen raise the bar.

Team North America: Highlights and Review
- September 29, 2016
We looked slow, and that's not the way we play. Murray was on the wrong end of a young team's young mistakes. "We definitely let the team down there". That lapse was something McLellan said is a good teaching moment for his team that will help as the World Cup goes on. The Russians, needing a win after losing their opener 2-1 to Sweden, seemed happy to play their part in an end-to-end affair. (more...)

NFL Scores and Reactions from Week 3 in the Midwest

Not to mention that the Titans converted just two of their 12 third-down attempts on offense against the Raiders, a defense that came into Sunday's matchup allowing teams to convert 42.9 percent of their third downs. David Amerson had another stellar game in Tennessee, and for some reason the Titans kept throwing at him. Aside from their third-quarter touchdown, though, the Titans' offense couldn't execute and complete the comeback. (more...)
