The Boston Celtics picked up a dramatic win over the Los Angeles Lakers in overtime on Saturday, but it took a blatant no-call at the end of regulation to get there. Let’s just say LeBron James and the Lakers weren’t pleased. In the final seconds of regulation with the score tied 105-105, the Lakers had the ball and a chance to end the game. Predictably, the ball ended up in the hands of James, who drove into the paint and missed a would-be game-winning lay-up. Replay soon showed that James was… Source link

The 2007 season, one that saw the New England Patriots rewrite the offensive record book and post the NFL’s only 16-0 regular-season record, is remembered as one of Tom Brady‘s finest. The additions of Randy Moss, Wes Welker and Donte’ Stallworth led to some “Madden”-worthy performances, particularly over the first 10 games, when the Patriots averaged 41.1 points per game (and allowed just 15.7). But for my money, the season I remember as the one that cements Brady’s standing as the greatest… Source link

The Dallas Cowboys knew their regular-season finale could be meaningful. They knew they remained in contention for the NFC East title, home-field playoff games and seeding improvement in play. They played their starters. Still, they flopped in a 26-6 loss to a Washington Commanders team giving rookie quarterback Sam Howell his first start. All three phases played beneath expectation. Woes on offense and special teams proved especially costly. “We get to suck on that all week,” Cowboys team… Source link

undefined There was curiosity this past week over the Minnesota Vikings being underdogs Sunday at the 5-7 Detroit Lions. It brought a lot of attention to the Vikings being — let’s be polite here — maybe not quite as good as their 10-2 record coming into Week 14. It also led to discussions about analytics in football and whether that mattered at all. The nerds, and the Lions, won Sunday. Detroit beat the Vikings 34-23. There’s nothing wrong with a team that was 10-2 and will undoubtedly be… Source link

DOHA, Qatar — The devastating blow that knocked the U.S. men’s national team out of the 2022 World Cup was a 21-pass Dutch masterpiece. It was class and ruthlessness personified, clockwork orange from front to back to front. It crushed American optimism that had swelled throughout two weeks in Qatar, and eventually sent the American team trudging toward their traditional exit. It led to Netherlands 3, U.S. 1 here at the Khalifa International Stadium on Saturday, to a game during which the… Source link

Though the U.S. Men’s National Team (USMNT) qualified for the knockout stage of the World Cup on Tuesday, not everyone wins when America prevails on the soccer pitch. According to Caesars Sportsbook (CZR), the sports betting company paid out a sum in the “seven figures” to Team USA bettors following the match. And if the U.S. were to reach the finals and win it all, sportsbook operators stand to lose even more. “An 8-figure liability staring us in the face is ominous, but I’m not going… Source link

Belgium’s loss to Morocco on Sunday didn’t go over well at home. Riots broke out in several cities in Belgium and the Netherlands on Sunday night following Belgium’s 2-0 defeat to Morocco at the World Cup in Qatar. About a dozen people were detained by police in Brussels, who used water cannons and tear gas to disperse crowds, according to The Associated Press. Eight people were detained in Antwerp, and two police officials were injured in Rotterdam after soccer fans allegedly “pelted… Source link
