Sevilla stun United to make Champions League quarters
- March 14, 2018
How about giving Fellaini a first start in any competition since November 22, in United's biggest game of the season? But last night's win will be distinctive, even more so with the victory coming at such an iconic stadium that is Old Trafford . (more...)

Aaron Rodgers Doesn't Seem Pleased With Packers Releasing Jordy Nelson
- March 14, 2018
According to Spotrac , the market value for Matthews is $8.8 million but the Packers may be able to get him for cheaper than that. Nelson was out for the entire 2015 season after tearing his ACL in his right knee. What a roller coast of emotions if you're a Packers fan. For one, Rodgers "liked" this tweet from NFL Network's Rich Eisen, who's skeptical that adding tight end Jimmy Graham gives Green Bay "Super Bowl-caliber talent" on offense. (more...)

Has United made a mistake by signing Alexis Sanchez?
- March 14, 2018
Manchester United crashed out of the UEFA Champions League tonight, as they fell 2-1 to Sevilla at home in the round of 16. There is also French midfielder Paul Pogba, who is at his best when marauding forward. The Red Devils can now concentrate on clinching an automatic Champions League spot and winning the FA Cup. "Whether they've improved as a team is a different story, but I think it is a happier dressing room". (more...)

Seahawks agree to terms with McDougald
- March 14, 2018
Under NFL rules, Shead's contract is set to toll - or roll over a year on the same terms - because he spent all but two games of the 2017 season on the PUP list while recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Shead's contract tolled for 2018, but the Seahawks aren't interested in keeping him around. Shead is reportedly visiting the Lions today. Shead joined the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent out of Portland State in 2012, and has been with the team until he release this week. (more...)

Browns to sign running back Carlos Hyde
- March 14, 2018
Hyde was one of the more attractive backs on the open market, though it's worth noting the 27-year-old (28 in September) racked up easily a career high in touches (299) but also a career-low 3.9 yards per carry. He appeared in all 16 games in 2017 and rushed for 940 yards and eight touchdowns. A report by Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk says Hyde will sign a three-year contract with the Browns worth $18 million, including a $6 million dollar first year. (more...)

Browns Reportedly Making 'A Big Run' At Nate Solder
- March 14, 2018
Ebner suffered a knee injury in November that prematurely ended his 2017 season. He was a right tackle as a rookie. I don't think they're going to have Hubbard protecting their quarterback's blind side either. 1 target, and they were widely considered the favorites to sign him. The Browns are just the latest team to be connected to Solder. After getting the OK from trainers he has been in the Browns facility nearly daily, working out as much as he can while going through injury rehab. (more...)

Phillies officially announce Arrieta signing
- March 14, 2018
I feel like we're not far away. "A rebuild doesn't mean you can't win now", Arrieta said. "I was coming hard". But they waited and waited, and by late February heard numbers more to their liking - then needed about two weeks to hammer out a complex deal that includes an opt-out for Arrieta after 2019 that the Phillies can override by granting a two-year extension.

Taro Daniel took advantage of Novak Djokovic not being at his best
- March 14, 2018
It appears as if Novak Djokovic faces a long and hard road back to his glory days on the tennis tour. Clearly not 100% healthy, Djokovic talked about getting back on court. "I was too close to still beating the best", he said. Sela also took the second set by the same score to seal a 6-4 6-4 victory in 91 minutes against world number 24 Edmund, who replaced the injured Andy Murray as British number one earlier this month.
