- January 01, 2018

Saric, Simmons lead 76ers past Suns
- January 01, 2018
Despite erasing the 76ers 17-point lead, the Suns couldn't quite pull off the win as the fourth quarter came to a close. "We were no match for them, especially in the first half", Suns head coach Jay Triano said. Their talented young center, Joel Embiid, was seen holding on to his hand after falling on it in the final period. "I think if you watch the last time we played this team, Book went off". (more...)

Liverpool Defeat Nahki Wells & Burnley 2-1
- January 01, 2018
Burnley made just one change with James Tarkowski returning from a three match suspension to replace Kevin Long at the heart of the home side's defence. The hosts looked to have earned a point when Johann Gudmundsson equalised with just three minutes of normal time remaining. Dejan Lovren was able to get his head on the ball in and flick it towards the back post, where his central-defensive partner Ragnar Klavan was positioned to put it away - much to the delight of the entire makeshift ...

Bears Fire John Fox
- January 01, 2018
Over his first two head-coaching stops, with Carolina and the Broncos, Fox's teams showed a big bounce in his second season: with the Panthers, there was a four-win improvement from Year 1 to Year 2 under his tutelage, and with Denver, it was five wins. (more...)

Liverpool say the 25-year-old Brazilian playmaker has suffered a minor thigh injury and has subsequently been allowed to rest ahead of the Reds meeting with Merseyside neighbours Everton in the FA Cup later this week. Days on from this, there was the weird episode in which Nike - Barcelona's official kit supplier - appeared to preemptively announce that Coutinho would be finalising his move to La Liga on their website .

Notre Dame suspends Deon McIntosh for Citrus Bowl

That has had some asking how the Irish will move the ball downfield against LSU. "I don't really look at the future of LSU football and say, 'boy, it's in good hands'". I have placed (and misplaced) a lot of faith in this Irish squad all year. There are practices, sure, leading up to Monday's meeting here in the Citrus Bowl . (more...)

Predators skate past the Wild 2-0
- January 01, 2018
Although the Wild managed to kill off half of it, Predators winger Kyle Turris made Dubnyk pay with a top-shelf snipe with the power play about to expire. "It's an unfortunate thing, all the teams deal with it. Look around the league, everybody seems to be losing a player here or there". Stalock filled in admirably for Dubnyk going 3-4-0 with a 2.46 goals-against average, a.924 save percentage and one shutout in his seven starts. (more...)

Outback Bowl Game Preview
- January 01, 2018
I think Michigan's defense is better and will get a few more stops. He is Michigan's unquestioned starting quarterback entering the January 1 contest against SC but somebody else could be deemed the answer during the spring. The Wolverines have not won a ton of big games under Jim Harbaugh and maybe this doesn't qualify as such, but it could be a strong catalyst going into next year for the Wolverines. (more...)

Jimmy Haslam: 'Talk is cheap … we've got to go do it'
- January 01, 2018
Haslam said after the game at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh that new general manager John Dorsey and Jackson are working well together and there is no debate on the coach's return for the 2018 season. The Browns were sitting 32nd in offensive efficiency prior to Week 17. Cleveland started three quarterbacks in 2016-Robert Griffin III, Josh McCown and Cody Kessler-and 2017 second-round pick DeShone Kizer is clearly a work in progress. (more...)

Also, reserve DT Jay Bromley left the game with an ankle injury and did not return. They need a new coach, a remade roster, a renewed sense of energy, confidence and objective. He thinks there is something left in Manning's soon-to-be 37-year-old body. "It only means something if you pick the right guy", John Mara said in the middle of the locker room after the Giants won their first NFC East game of the season 18-10 before an intimate and frozen MetLife gathering.
