The Buffalo Bills will be under pressure over the upcoming two months to improve what was the 30th-ranked offense in 2018 and put pieces around second-year quarterback Josh Allen, whose late-season play fueled optimism about his future. Yet as the Bills approach the start of free agency in March with $79 million in cap space […]
After the Boston Celtics suffered a disappointing home loss to the LA Clippers on Saturday night -- a second straight game that saw Boston surrender a double-digit lead before going on to lose outright -- forward Marcus Morris decided he had some things to say. "For me it's not really about the loss," Morris told […]
But simply picking the player atop our Player Rater doesn't tell the whole MVP story. Think of it this way: which single draft pick won your league? Which player generated the most production relative to where he was drafted? For me, fantasy value is represented by which players outperformed their ADP to the greatest extent. […]
Now flip the calendar to 2019. Elway again has hired an experienced coach with a defensive background, 60-year-old Vic Fangio. He's traded for a former Super Bowl MVP in quarterback Joe Flacco. But the Broncos are in a historical funk -- with back-to-back losing seasons for the first time since the early 1970s and the […]
No need to tell Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II about the difficulties of finding transcendent talents. He has seen three absurdly good players -- linebacker Ryan Shazier, wide receiver Antonio Brown and running back Le'Veon Bell -- lead his team to victories only to leave the lineup, potentially for good.

South Korea have Son Heung-min, and China have Wu Lei. The two may not be at the same level in terms of talent or renown, but the Chinese attacker is as important to Marcello Lippi's side as Son is to Paulo Bento's. This was made all the more clear on Wednesday when the teams met […]

He was 77. Stottlemyre's wife, Jean, told the New York Times that he died as a […]
New York - It's more than two hours before a 1pm tip-off at Madison Square Garden and Jonah Bolden looks like he's already been working out for a while. Bolden is running through drills with the assistant coaches - pick-and-rolls, pick-and-pops, corner threes and more. For Bolden, whose journey to the NBA has been anything […]
Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay felt the pressure. So did quarterback Jared Goff. Despite producing back-to-back division titles for the first time in nearly four decades, both coach and quarterback knew the results that matter most are those produced in the playoffs. Last season, they fell flat in a wild-card loss to the Atlanta […]
Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel believes that Wednesday's Coupe de la Ligue quarterfinal exit at the hands of Guingamp has changed nothing regarding the January transfer window, saying the deposed titleholders needed to and still need to sign new players to remain competitive. "We did not need to lose to know that we must recruit," […]
