Mark Stoops’ Kentucky team let Alabama football get off to a hot start Saturday in Lexington. The 21-0 early deficit would prove too much for the Wildcats to overcome, and the Crimson Tide won 49-21, clinching the SEC West in the process. After the game, Stoops praised Alabama’s performance. “We didn’t match up very well today,” Stoops said. “We didn’t get off to a very good start, and we didn’t get much better after that start. So again, give them credit. I think that’s a football team that is getting better and better, getting stronger and stronger as the year goes on, and…

PHILADELPHIA — The final outcome was a 28-23 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, but the Dallas Cowboys left Lincoln Financial Field believing it was much closer than five points. It was a matter of inches. An overturned (via replay) touchdown pass to tight end Luke Schoonmaker, whose knee was down before the ball crossed the goal line. Quarterback Dak Prescott’s foot landing out of bounds on a 2-point play. A fumble that pass-rusher Micah Parsons nearly recovered inside Philadelphia territory. In the end, each of those plays went Philadelphia’s way, but the result did not discourage the Cowboys. “If [this game was a test], we didn’t pass, and that…

Jaime Jaquez Jr., a rookie forward, made the play of the game early in the second quarter for the Miami Heat.The Miami Heat cruised past the Atlanta Hawks. Miami had a multitude of “highlight-reel” plays, including two three-pointers that came from Dru Smith’s steals. However, their play of the night occurred at the beginning of the second quarter. Rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. penetrated at the top of the arc before pulling back with a crossover. The move sent Hawks sharpshooter Bogdan Bogdanovic to the floor before Jaquez drained a three-pointer. This play expanded the Heat’s lead to 17 points. Jaquez had the best game of his young career, recording 20 points, four assists, and one steal on 8 of 17…
“I remember it as a dream come true, the chance to play in the most important game there is when you’re growing up.” There were 18 minutes left when Sergio Ramos was sent on to the pitch for his first Seville derby. He was 17 years old, only four games into his seniour career, and he had a job to do: don’t let Real Betis striker Dani move. Sevilla were a man down away at the Benito Villamarin, outnumbered on and off the pitch. It was tense, tough, hot — the way the derby is meant to be — and he did exactly as he was told.…

Last week was bittersweet. The Dallas Cowboys were dealt a deflating loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the closing seconds. Yet, for fantasy managers who roster Dallas Cowboys, they delivered. Dak Prescott connected with CeeDee Lamb throughout the contest and put up Madden numbers in the stat sheet. This week the Cowboys draw a reeling New York Giants team, whose season is all but over. That said, the fantasy schedule is heating up as we make a push for the fantasy postseason. If you’re in deeper leagues, and somehow managed to get a solid QB behind Dak Prescott, this might be your week to sit…
MRI results indicated that Herro is dealing with a Grade 2 ankle sprain, and he will be re-evaluated in two weeks. With Herro expected to be sidelined for the near future, Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra recently called on point guard Kyle Lowry to step up in his absence.
