Fans of both teams have expressed concern that the game won't be played, but FSU coach Jimbo Fisher and Miami coach Mark Richt were preparing their teams as though they'll still take the field Saturday night. A looming Hurricane Matthew has led to some concerns about the game, but as of Wednesday it is still set to kick off as planned. Cook and the offense however, haven't been the problem for FSU.

MLB Execs Like Red Sox' Chances To Win World Series
- October 08, 2016
Just consider the matchups. The victor of that game will go on to play the Chicago Cubs, who, as we all know by now, have the best record in baseball. They've got the talent, the depth and home field advantage. "The Show" most often predicted a 3-1 series victory for San Francisco. They have the best bullpen in the postseason, and it's not much of an argument. (more...)

Cowboys put guard La'el Collins on IR with toe injury
- October 08, 2016
Meanwhile, Cincinnati is trying to keep up with the 3-1 Ravens and Steelers in the AFC North. So the volume of runs will nearly always be there, it's the efficiency of those runs that are the question. On defense, I'd say it's cornerback Morris Claiborne. It's exactly what the Cowboys envisioned when they used the fourth overall choice for him. Drew Bledsoe lost his job to Tom Brady because of an injury. (more...)

Indians fend off Red Sox, 5-4, to take Game 1
- October 08, 2016
But Rangers centrefielder Ian Desmond pulled up just short of the wall, allowing the hit to fall for a bases clearing triple. Getting a 2-0 lead would be tremendous for the team, but let us not forget that it is possible to come back from 2-0 down in a five-game series. (more...)

Celtic are lucky to have Dembele - Rodgers
- October 08, 2016
Europe is so special, the teams are so strong and Celtic is an fantastic environment. We sat off Barcelona and admired them more than anything, letting them play and show what good players can do to you if you sit off them. Pep Guardiola's team were expected to win the game but Celtic performed heroically and at least deserved the one point they got out of the game. Manchester City have travelled round the Premier League and absolutely destroyed teams, and that's why this was going to be ... (more...)

Captain Coleman hands lacklustre Ireland win over Georgia
- October 08, 2016
I really don't understand why the players were not really up for this game. Georgia's only competitive away win in a decade came against Gibraltar and from the outset it was abundantly clear that their plan was to sit back and frustrate. Weiss said: "When you don't score goals, you can not take points. We were actually getting some second balls which we didn't get in the first half and Seamus Coleman comes up with a wonder run and a goal as captain of the side", the manager added. (more...)
