Josh Brown placed on Commissioner Exempt List
Brown was arrested for fourth-degree assault in May 2015, and that misdemeanor charge was dropped a few days later. Brown had previously been suspended for one game for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. It was so bad that she had to call the hotel security and the National Football League and even change her room so Brown wouldn't know where she was. (more...)
LeBron James Responds To Donald Trump's "Locker Room Talk" Quote
Those comments are one of many from athletes in many different sports who've complained about such a characterization. "You tell me which is worse", Noah said . The fact that some men do speak this way in locker rooms and other places where women aren't around just shows how pervasive rape culture is. If men only feel they can say something when there are no women around, they shouldn't be saying it at all. (more...)

Kelechi Iheanacho: 'We need to keep moving'
It was another hard afternoon for Manchester City in the Premier League yesterday, as their win-less run in all competitions was extended to five matches following a 1-1 draw with Southampton . Southampton may have been excellent on the day but this was a game to forget for John Stones, whose bad blunder allowed Nathan Redmond to put the visiting team in front and then watched his legitimate goal ruled out for offside before Kelechi Iheanacho equalised after the interval.

Mourinho accused Conte of humiliating United
However, Mourinho had a lengthy discussion with his successor at the final whistle, with the Portugese reportedly dismayed by Conte's celebrations, which he deemed disrespectful. "I am delighted for the performance because we played very well with good intensity, good positions and we moved the ball very quickly and created many chances to score goals", said Conte. (more...)
Ben Roethlisberger Suffers Injury in Loss to the Dolphins
Ben Roethlisberger had arthroscopic knee surgery on his left knee Monday morning, but the Pittsburgh Steelers are uncertain when their star quarterback will return. The Steelers went 1-1 in those games, though the victory comes with an asterisk because he left early with an ankle injury and Roethlisberger came on to guide a blowout of Cleveland. (more...)
Mourinho involved in Conte spat
Pedro's opener after 30 seconds was followed by a Gary Cahill goal, a fine Eden Hazard strike and a superb first Chelsea goal for N'Golo Kante. Conte had urged home fans to make more noise after Kante made it 4-0 in the 70th minute. Pedro , who started the rout, set up Kante to complete it. Kante waltzed through United's brittle defence easily, going past Smalling - who else? - before slotting beyond De Gea. (more...)
Chicago Cubs Fan Bill Murray On Crying In Baseball
Unless there is a last-minute setback, Schwarber, who hit five home runs and batted.333 a year ago in nine postseason games , will be the DH for the power-packed Cubbies. Salazar has not pitched since September 9 because of forearm tightness. "I'm excited, the city's excited", he said. Davis, who'd spent his time since Oakland with Toronto and Detroit, started about two-thirds of the Indians' games and his 495 plate appearances are the most of any Indians' outfielder as manager Terry ...

Lions top Redskins 20-17 on Stafford's TD pass to Boldin
Washington responded with a nine-play, 75-yard drive, scoring their first touchdown of the game on a one-yard pass from Cousins to Robert Kelly to cut the lead to 13-10 with 8:20 left in the fourth. In front of friends and family, who travelled roughly three hours from Cousins' hometown of Holland, Mich., the Michigan State product had one of his better games of the season despite the early struggles and lack of production as a whole.

Houston Texans cornerback Kevin Johnson out indefinitely with broken foot
That's the second-longest streak in National Football League history. The Houston offense is led by Brock Osweiler , who has struggled in his first year as full-time starter. Then Osweiler provided the big throw - a 36-yard laser strike to Jaelen Strong - that set up Novak's winning kick. But a replay review showed the pass hit the turf before Hilton controlled it, and the completion was overturned. (more...)
Cubs fan, 90, to celebrate with Jagermeister
Chicago Bulls guard Dwyane Wade wasn't necessarily a Cubs fan growing up, but that doesn't mean he isn't going to have some fun with the team being in the World Series for the first time in over 70 years. Hendricks pitched two-hit ball for 7 1/3 innings. "We got four more big ones to go, but we're going to enjoy this". A Cubs team that won a major league-leading 103 regular-season games chased Kershaw after five innings. (more...)
Johnson Wagner leads US PGA event by one
Kizzire, who took the 54-hole lead on Sunday morning, held the lead for much of the final round while fighting nerves and his swing on the back nine, but did not make a birdie after the 11th hole in a round of two-under 70. He rolled in an 18-footer for birdie on the 17th. Steele's victory came on the same course where he held the 54-hole lead a year ago but could not close the deal, eventually finishing equal 17th.

Skidding Ravens hope to heal, improve offence during bye
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Smith will visit Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion Tuesday. The former Jets quarterback called out Smith Sunday, claiming his injury could not be that bad. We're going on from there with Fitz. I know the Jets already led the game when this happened, but Forte's fumble could have had an outsized effect on the team. (more...)
Badgers fall short at home against Buckeyes
J.T. Barrett almost single-handily kept Ohio State's chances at a national title alive Saturday night in a hostile environment against No. 8 Wisconsin . Barrett needs three more touchdowns, rushing or passing, to break QB Braxton Miller's career school record (88). It wouldn't be long before OSU finally got a touchdown, though. (more...)
No. 7 Huskers see Wisconsin stadium as their proving ground
That's not to say that there's anything wrong with being 7-0; past year proved that Husker fans should appreciate each and every win. "We are extremely happy to win the game", Riley said in the postgame press conference. The Huskers lost 55-45 at Purdue a year ago and the home crowd sat in stunned silence as the Boilermakers pulled out to a 14-10 lead on David Blough's two touchdown passes to DeAngelo Yancey, the second one an 88-yard catch-and-run.

World Series Ticket Prices Go Insane as Cubs Fever Takes Over
The Cubs are making their first appearance since 1945 and chasing their first title since 1908. Numerous position players aren't yet household names - you'll start to hear a lot about Francisco Lindor and Jose Ramirez, if you haven't already - and the pitching staff is made up of brilliant arms, both in the starting rotation and in the bullpen.

Cubs World Series tickets averaging more than Super Bowl tickets, analysts say
A man who survived the attack on Pearl Harbor during WWII is hoping to survive the long Cubs World Series victory drought. Tickets are naturally expensive to get in for the first World Series home game in almost 20 years. The Cubs should win the World Series in six games. World Series prices have risen over $300 since Saturday, according to TickPick spokesman Jonathan Gluskin. (more...)
