    Wade Phillips wants to stay with Broncos, laments being “unemployed”
    Getty ImagesThe Broncos are looking for a new coach. Eventually they may be looking for a new defensive coordinator. Wade Phillips has an expiring contract. Which makes him a free agent. Which also makes him out of a job, for now. “Coaches life,” Phillips tweeted Monday, “unemployed to [Super Bowl] victory to unemployed in 3 years or less.” In a later tweet, Phillips made it clear that he hopes to stay with the Broncos. The Broncos hope to keep him. Ideally, their next coach will retain the d..

    Duke hits another roadblock with Coach K forced to sit
    The top player in the Duke Blue Devils' freshman class missed 11 games with an unexpected preseason knee surgery. Two other wheels on that hot rod of a rookie crew also missed time with injuries. With one ill-timed foot-jerk reaction, its Wooden Award candidate earned himself an indefinite ride on the bench and the end of his team captaincy.And now its Hall of Fame coach is out for up to four weeks.Still think Duke gets all the breaks?What began as a charmed season for the Blue Devils, starting ..

  • USC's epic, emotional Rose Bowl win over Penn State is why bowls matter

    USC's epic, emotional Rose Bowl win over Penn State is why bowls matter
    PASADENA, Calif. — Monday’s Rose Bowl was not a College Football Playoff game. It didn’t feature the highest-ranked teams in the Pac-12 or the Big Ten. It also didn’t get constant TV promotion during the other 30-plus bowl games. But if you think USC’s 52-49 victory over Penn State wasn’t meaningful, you weren’t paying attention to the riveting four-hour-and-12 minute commercial for how fun and engrossing college football can be. If you weren’t tuned in, you really should’ve seen Trojan coaches..

    Giants-Packers Part 3: Because this was too perfect not to happen
    Well, you can’t say the folks who write these mystical football scripts haven’t been paying attention, and don’t know a good thing when they see it. First, they have given us these 2016 Giants, and made them plenty good enough to play into 2017, and whenever they’re good enough to play into the next year, it allows for a rewinding of the clock, a revisiting of 2007 and 2011. Second, there is the Patriots, lurking, Out There, the bullies residing on the other side of the tournament brackets. The..

  • Jed York proved once again that he's the cause of the 49ers' problems

    Jed York proved once again that he's the cause of the 49ers' problems
    San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York said it again, and again, and again Monday, a day after he fired his head coach after the final game of the season for a third straight year and send his right-hand man and general manager out the door as well. “Nothing I’m going to say is going to be satisfactory.” He was wrong. Some accountability for turning one of the NFL’s proudest franchises into an unstable, politics-ridden laughingstock would have satisfied more than a few 49ers fans. Admitting that he ..

  • Monday NBA Roundup: Jimmy Butler Proving What We Knew About Bulls All Along

    Monday NBA Roundup: Jimmy Butler Proving What We Knew About Bulls All Along
    Jimmy Butler, unconstrained by high-usage veterans or ball-dominant curmudgeons, led the Chicago Bulls to a 118-111 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday, and throughout the transcendent performance, it was impossible to avoid a troubling thought. This is how it should have been all along. Butler pumped in a season-high 52 points to go with 12 rebounds, six assists, three steals and a block. He did it all, setting the high-energy tone with hustle plays on defense and bailing out an otherwise..

    Appleby shines, No. 20 Florida beats Iowa in Outback Bowl (Jan 2, 2017)
    TAMPA, Fla. (AP) No. 20 Florida dominated the Outback with stingy defense and a persistent offense that did its job, too. Chauncey Gardner, Jr., returned one of his two fourth-quarter interceptions 58 yards for a touchdown, and graduate transfer Austin Appleby threw for 222 yards and two TDs to pace Monday’s 30-3 rout of No. 21 Iowa. With Gardner grabbing game MVP honors, the Gators (9-4) held up their end of what many expected to be a day defense ruled , especially considering Florida ente..

    Draymond Green triple-double leads Golden State past Denver (Jan 3, 2017)
    OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Everybody on the bench kept reminding Draymond Green in the final few minutes, ”One more rebound, one more rebound.” He figured they had jinxed him. Then he blocked out and secured that last board for a putback with 28.9 seconds left to give him his second triple-double of the season, also getting 15 points and 13 assists to lead the balanced Golden State Warriors past the Denver Nuggets 127-119 on Monday night. As much as the Golden State starters have sat through the..
