Wizards shoot 53 free throws, beat Suns in 'strange' game
PHOENIX (AP) -- In what Bojan Bogdanovic called ''a completely strange game,'' the Washington Wizards went to the free throw line - again and again and again.That made the difference in the Wizards' 131-127 victory over pesky Phoenix on Tuesday night.The Wizards shot 53 free throws, the most in the NBA this season, and made 42 of them. The Suns were 26 of 33.No one benefited more than Bogdanovic, who set a franchise record for free throws made by going 16 of 16.''I think the biggest difference w..>> view originalBroncos still waiting on Tony Romo, if he's released
Getty ImagesSince January, the dots have connected Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo with the Broncos, as long as Romo was released and not someone they’d have to trade for. That apparently still applies. According to Mike Klis of KUSA, Broncos executive John Elway is “ready to pursue” Romo if the Cowboys can’t find a trade partner. That would satisfy the Cowboys’ end of the “do-right rule” which would keep Romo from biting them for another team they’d run into on a regular basis. And Denver has a..>> view originalPatriots don't view 2017 as Garoppolo deadline
Now that the NFL's two-day negotiating period has opened, inquiring football minds want to know if the Patriots will consider parting with backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo for the right price. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported last week that New England's brass is not comfortable turning the team over to 2016 third-round pick Jacoby Brissett in the event of a serious Tom Brady injury. The upshot is that coach Bill Belichick views Garoppolo as a valuable piece of the team's nucleus ra..>> view originalTrail Blazers overcome Russell Westbrook's 58 points to top Thunder

Bayern embarrassed Arsenal again, repeating their first-leg scoreline to advance to the UCL quarterfinals 10-2 on aggregate. Was Alexis Sanchez caught laughing as his Arsenal team capitulated against Bayern Munich? Some disgruntled Gunners supporters made their feelings known ahead of the UCL clash with Bayern. Carlo Ancelotti admitted Lauren Koscielny's sending off turned the game decisively in his side's favour as Bayern Munich stormed back from a goal deficit to seal another thumping 5-1 win..>> view originalYou Would Treat Kirk Cousins the Same Way
I’m writing from the Sloan Sports Analytics conference at MIT, where I spoke on sports and marijuana, and next I’ll be heading to South by Southwest, where I will speak on sports and gambling. You might be sensing a theme there, but first, some NFL thoughts as the business of football heats up. Making Sense of Cousins I continue to disagree with narratives about Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins, who has been franchise-tagged for the second consecutive year, and the team’s alleged dysfunction..>> view original49ers not interested in Mike Glennon
Getty ImagesIt’s good that the Bears reportedly plan to go gaga for Mike Glennon, because the 49ers aren’t in the mix. According to Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area, the 49ers will not be pursuing Glennon. Come Thursday, the 49ers will have no quarterbacks under contract. They currently have three that, quite possibly, no one will want. Glennon started 13 games as a rookie and five in 2014, but he landed on the bench after the team selected Jameis Winston with the first pick in the draft. The Jets..>> view originalDeMarcus Ware met with John Elway, and is testing the market
Getty ImagesThe Broncos might still bring DeMarcus Ware back, but not until he sees what else someone will give him. According to Mike Klis of KUSA, the veteran pass-rusher has met with Broncos executive John Elway today, but intends to see what the market has in store for him. The 34-year-old Ware is coming off back surgery and would be going into a new defensive scheme if he went back to Denver, but he’s been rehabbing at the team facility so the relationship is apparently good.

Getty ImagesCould the Vikings and running back Adrian Peterson work out a deal that would see him finish his career in Minnesota? At the moment, it looks like Peterson is more interested in that than the Vikings are. Peterson’s father, Nelson Peterson, told Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press that Adrian still has interest in re-signing with the Vikings, but they haven’t made him an offer. That likely means the Vikings simply don’t think Peterson, who turns 32 this month and is coming off a kn..>> view original
