What we learned in Week 4: Les Miles' time at LSU has run out after latest gaffe
What a way for Les Miles to end his LSU Tigers career. Les Miles produced the most Les Miles finish ever Saturday night -- that's saying something -- and it's going to finally cost him his job.Because let's be honest: It's over from here on out. The only question is the expiration date. Twelve years of mostly good fortune with clock mismanagement came home to roost as LSU (2-2) botched the waning seconds of a loss to Auburn Tigers , which won without..>> view originalSloppy Pirates fall 6-1 to Nationals, who clinch NL East

Notre Dame entered the season ranked 10th in the AP poll. Just over a month later, the Fighting Irish are 1-3 and looking for answers. For coach Brian Kelly, those answers might very well come in the form of new starters. He ripped his team in the wake of Saturday's 38-35 loss to Duke, saying just about every position was up for grabs. "Every position, all 22 of them, will be evaluated. Each and every position. There is no position that is untouchable on this football team. And that's t..>> view originalTaurasi helps Mercury advance to semifinals, beat Liberty

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — It didn’t have to end this way.In fact, it usually hasn’t.For a franchise that has struggled frequently to send off its legends and linchpins with much grace, the Red Sox (and their fans) are enjoying the most amicable goodbye with a legend since Ted Williams.Much of this has to do with the 40-year-old Ortiz dictating the timing of his exit. And a great deal has to do with the prodigious numbers he is posting during his swan song.Without the latter, we will never know if t..>> view originalUFC: Cyborg vs Lansberg - Winners and Losers
Winners Cris Cyborg - There’s something that’s become more and more disturbing with each Cyborg fight since joining Invicta, and it’s the fact that she’s still fighting similarly-sized opponents with a degree of experience that isn’t really comparable to hers, or on her skill level. This leads to people assuming that these factors, along with her superior athleticism, will guarantee her a win. The problem here is that even though we expect her to run through opponents, the manner in which she ..>> view originalOdell Beckham Jr vs. Josh Norman finally gets a sequel
There really wasn’t any indication that the rivalry between New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and Washington cornerback Josh Norman would go from zero to nuclear before the two first met on Dec. 20, 2015. In the days before a Week 15 game between the Giants and undefeated Carolina Panthers, both players were actually complimentary of one another. They had no reason not to be. Beckham was coming off a two-touchdown performance on Monday Night Football that was his sixth consecutive..>> view originalUsain Bolt has gotten offers to play WR in the NFL

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- They do football the old-fashioned way at Wisconsin. Remember huddles? Remember fullbacks? Old-fashioned might be too newfangled a descriptive for this offense."Archaic," head coach Paul Chryst said after his No. 11 Badgers humiliated No. 8 Michigan State 30-6 in both teams' Big Ten Conference opener.The Badgers don't flip the ball to the official and run back to the line of scrimmage.
