    Baylor rolls over Boise State 31-12 at Cactus Bowl (Dec 28, 2016)
    PHOENIX (AP) Baylor played all season under the shadow of a sexual assault scandal that cost coach Art Briles his job last May. The Bears lost their prolific quarterback to a gruesome ankle injury and spiraled downward with a long losing streak. Winning a bowl game in a rout won’t wash any of that away, but it sure was nice to end a difficult season on a positive note. KD Cannon had 14 catches for a Cactus Bowl-record 226 yards and two touchdowns, helping the Bears close out a challenging s..

    Coyotes put up fight but suffer 5th straight loss
    GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Dallas Stars had only four road wins this season, and their test Tuesday night was compounded by having to travel to Arizona on game day because of a long flight delay. That forced them to hold a morning skate in Texas before finally taking off for Phoenix. And yet Dallas still came out a winner. Jason Spezza had a goal and assist and Kari Lehtonen made 35 saves, helping the Stars beat the Arizona Coyotes 3-2 in a heated contest. “It was a trying day and it was a day where..

    Tomlin responds to Bradshaw's 'cheerleader' criticism - Pittsburgh Post
    Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has never been one to publicly take a shot at another player or coach, or even a former member of the organization. But when it came to recent comments by former Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw, who criticized Tomlin’s coaching ability and referred to him as nothing more a “cheerleader guy,” Tomlin fired back. And he did so with a shot that was both subtle and cutting. “Criticism and critique are very much a part of our business, and it’s an element of our busines..

  • Remembering When Alabama Football Was a Laughingstock

    Remembering When Alabama Football Was a Laughingstock
    For even the oldest and most established players on this year's University of Alabama football roster, the history of the program boils down to two eras: before Nick Saban and after. That's not a rub against any of the head coaches who preceded him, including Paul "Bear" Bryant, Gene Stallings, Frank Thomas and Wallace Wade, who all won at least one national championship, but more a reflection of how most college students view the world. "As a kid, I'd probably say 2009 when they won the nation..

  • 'Granny' shot master Rick Barry is glad someone had the guts to bring it back to the NBA

    'Granny' shot master Rick Barry is glad someone had the guts to bring it back to the NBA
    In the waning minutes of a blowout victory Monday night, a largely unknown rookie unleashed a specific brand of momentousness. Making his National Basketball Association debut, Chinanu Onuaku of the Houston Rockets drew a shooting foul and stepped to the free throw line, typically the blandest portion of a game. Except Onuaku held the ball at his waist with both hands and hoisted the ball at the hoop in an underhand motion, his arms spreading apart. Teammates cheered and pointed on the bench, ..

    With Rex Ryan out, Bills face pivotal decisions on Anthony Lynn and Tyrod Taylor
    Their playoff lives on the line Sunday, the Bills rallied from 14 down to take a 31–28 lead on the Dolphins. They then proceeded to allow a game-tying FG drive in the closing minutes, missed an OT field goal of their own after a failed trick play, and later allowed a 57-yard Jay Ajayi run to set up a Dolphins victory. This is how it went for the Bills in the short-lived Rex Ryan era: They were competitive, scrappy even, yet never quite good enough to be a real threat. The Bills announced Tuesda..
