Rams safety Quentin Lake got plenty of attention for comments he made about intercepting a pass thrown by Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, but on reflection, Lake didn't like the attention he generated.
It was 30 years ago this month that Lima Senior proved it could compete and beat anyone and, just maybe, so could the city itself. The Spartans came back from an early deficit to beat football powerhouse Cleveland St. Ignatius, 38-30, in the Division I state championship in November 1996, capping off an unpredictable 13-1 season. Along the way, the Spartans had five wins by a touchdown or ...

From VeryMadMax: Have you seen The Boxer (1997) starring Daniel Day-Lewis? If you have, what did you think of DDL’s boxing in the movie?

Nov. 6—After its bye, Eastern Washington spent two weeks preparing for Montana only to find that the Grizzlies, over their own bye week, had significantly overhauled their defensive scheme.

"All in all, when you put ...
South Carolina is one of the SEC's hottest teams, but can Texas A&M stop the run? Here's the CFN game preview and prediction.
Returning to work after a long layoff isn’t easy for anyone, even college basketball players, who are showing some rust one week into the season. Players shot — and scored — on the wrong baskets Friday on two separate occasions. Unforced errors happen, but two on the same day were a bit of a shock to start the season. First, Northwestern State’s Karma Wynn got confused during a full-court press in the first quarter and scored instead of passing it up the floor. The basket didn’t end up being all
Bolton Wanderers boss Steven Schumacher spoke to BBC Sport following their 3-1 defeat by Derby.

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! For the FA Cup, the early rounds are the juice. The first round proper to be played out over the long weekend is looking, well, proper. And on Saturday at 3pm GMT, a proper time, 31 ties will kick off. No VAR, either. At the stage when the bottom two Football League divisions join the competition, focus remains on those non-league clubs fighting for the honour of the pyramid … John Aloisi winning or choking the Chinese Super League , a league so ‘super’ that nine of all 16 clubs in it started the season on negative points due to ‘match-fixing, gambling and corruption’ by the way, and the league leaders not even scoring a single goal in seven hours, is really not something to lay upon someone with a bad hangover. Apropos of nothing, if anyone has any objections to my views on the Chinese Super League, please address any correspondence to: Mr K Mbappé, Madrid (there’s no point two of us getting into trouble)” – Noble Francis. As a man of a certain age frequently being reminded of how out of date I am, the recent readers’ letters regarding technical solutions to shirt-pulling (Football Daily letters passim) concerns triggered distant memories. In late 1991 I was working in the Patents Advice Centre, Newcastle Central Library. A gentleman asked for help to possibly patent an ‘invention’: a football shirt with the seams held together by Velcro, so that any tug would ‘open’ the seam and provide clear evidence to the referee of illegal cloth gathering. As I helped him search for possible equivalent innovations in our paper database (yes kids!) we chatted amiably until I asked how he had come to this seemingly simple yet brilliant innovation. He paused, reddened and began to exhale with elevated pressure: ‘Did you see Arsenal the other night? Tony Adams? Disgraceful. It should never be allowed! In fact, with this shirt it won’t be, and Arsenal will have to learn to defend decently!’ Happy memories, obviously irrelavant to
Shedeur Sanders has hit the headlines once again this week as he prepares for his first start of the season at quarterback with the Cleveland Browns. Sanders has thrown just three passes all season after Todd Monken named Deshaun Watson as the starting quarterback in Cleveland.
Sam Darnold has struggled this season after leading the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl victory last year.

Before anyone fries U.S. tennis star Jessica Pegula for calling French Open champion Mirra Andreeva as a “diva” who “needs to be humbled” in a conversation that she thought was private, and before Pegula and Andreeva feel pressured to clear the air with one of those forced-friendship TikToks, tennis might want to remember that it needs more of what it got from its WTA Finals hot mic moment Wednesday, not less. Just not like that. A representative for Pegula, the world No. 5 who sits on the playe
A shared joy of the sport has united Canada for much of its history. But it’s becoming increasingly difficult – and expensive – to watch games on television The Oilers lost to the Detroit Red Wings on 26 October, but Edmonton captain Connor McDavid got an assist anyway. He’s been doing that a lot lately. Just 16 games into the year, McDavid has 31 assists. It’s the fastest anyone has ever hit that milestone in any NHL season. But on that night in late October, many fans in Edmonton were unable to see McDavid’s feats – including patrons of a local bar – because it was one of nine Oilers games this season that are only available via a subscription to a premium streaming service. It’s the same story in every Canadian NHL city, thanks to changes to broadcasts that have meant that a handful of games for each team are now only available with a $12.99 per month subscription to Sportsnet+, a streaming channel owned by Canadian telecom juggernaut – and owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs – Rogers Communications Inc. But it’s not just Sportsnet+. The NHL also expanded its broadcast deal with Amazon, so when, two nights after the game against Detroit, the Oilers played their provincial rival, the Calgary Flames, only Amazon Prime subscribers could watch (true to form, McDavid got two assists in that one).

Joe Fagnano did not have a very ideal first NFL start. The Baltimore Ravens quarterback, stepping in after the team’s top two signal-callers went down with injuries, was seemingly thrown to the wolves on Thursday as he struggled mightily in a 33-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars at M&T Bank Stadium. But at least Fagnano was aware enough of his […] The post What Ravens’ Joe Fagnano said after getting pummeled by Jaguars in first NFL start appeared first on ClutchPoints.
Nov. 5—If you ask anyone around the area, or state, about the Ridgeline football team, they would probably start off talking about the Falcons' offensive line. With the size, experience and football intelligence of the five starters, it's a good place to start. It's a departure for a program that in the recent past has been known for a quick passing offense, but it has also brought big dividends ...
Kevin Durant has no problem calling out a reporter, but he doesn’t like seeing anyone call him out on social media.

Only 3,587 people live in his family’s village but the streets of Navahermosa were fuller yet quieter to mourn the Tenerife striker at his funeral The narrow streets of Navahermosa in La Mancha were fuller than they have ever been on Thursday afternoon and quieter too. Silence accompanied the funeral cortege as its made way from the funeral home to the parish church of San Miguel Arcángel carrying Jesús de Miguel Alameda, “Demi”, the Tenerife striker who died after an on-field collision with the Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono three days earlier. Only 3,587 people live in his family’s village but now they were joined by the game he loved. “We wanted to be close to his parents, his wife and daughter. In moments of pain, football comes together more than ever,” said Luis de la Fuente. The Spain manager did not say much else; there was not much else he could say, not much anyone could. These have been dark, desperate days, days when it was impossible to assimilate what has happened, and there will be more. “We will get through this together but we will need help, professional help,” the Tenerife president, Felipe Miñambres, said. The club’s majority shareholder, Rayco García, had cried as they left the building where De Miguel’s body had laid in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and he asked his teammates to be close to his widow Maria, when he had vowed they would for ever take care of his daughter, Clara.

Before Emma Phillips and Marlee Beacom reached high school, Saint John had a few cross country runners, but never a team. “It was always just a few individuals here and there that would come,” Beacom said. “But then they’d graduate before anyone else could move up to join them and become a team. Nobody every made it past the district meet or anything like that.” Things have certainly changed, ...

Sebastian Joslin wasn’t a quarterback. He certainly is now. Hamilton’s signal caller has put up silly stat lines. For the season, the junior has thrown for 2,229 yards on 110-of-178 passing.

The 18-year-old on being thrown in at the deep end with the first team, playing with her idols and replacing a legend The next move on the chess board could not have been clearer for Barcelona and their coach, Pere Romeu: a new queen has broken into the Blaugrana midfield. Clara Serrajordi has made substantial moves already: she made her first-team debut at the age of 17, started ahead of Aitana Bonmatí in the 2026 Champions League final and is filling the void left by the departed Alexia Putellas this season. Serrajordi is a keen chess player and uses it to disconnect from football and there are similarities to how she plays. A pure representation of a La Masia -educated midfielder, she is always one move ahead, conscious of the space around her and fully aware of the importance of each teammate. Continue reading...
