Bayern Munich's Michael Olise eyes the ball during the German Bundesliga soccer match between Hamburger SV and FC Bayern Munich at the Volksparkstadion Marcus Brandt/dpa Leaders Bayern Munich suffered a second consecutive Bundesliga setback as they were held to a 2-2 draw by SV Hamburg on Saturday. Fabio Vieira scored from the spot to give Hamburg the lead in the 34th, but Harry Kane levelled for the Bavarians before the break and Luis Diaz was on target in the first minute of the second half to turn the game around. But Hamburg quickly hit back and Luka Vuskovic headed in the equalizer in the 53rd as both sides shared the point. Last week, Bayern suffered their first league defeat of the season to Augsburg. They top the standings nine points ahead of Borussia Dortmund, who host bottom side Heidenheim on Sunday. Hamburg moved up to 13th, one point above the relegation zone. Hamburger's Miro Muheim (L) and Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich battle for the ball during th...

The USC football team has had trouble earning a spot in the Rose Bowl postseason game in the last several years. The last time the Trojans were there, in fact, was 2017, when current Super Bowl-bound Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback Sam Darnold led the Trojans to an epic 52-49 victory over Penn State. But, amidst some program-wide struggles, Trojan fans have still enjoyed the consistent tradition of trekking to Pasadena every other year to watch USC play in its crosstown rivalry against the UCLA Bruins at the Rose Bowl. The Trojans have actually enjoyed decent success in their rivalry trips to the Rose Bowl in recent seasons, winning the last three games they've played in the Grandaddy of Them All including an epic ranked win in 2022. That tradition appeared to be in serious jeopardy as of recently, as news broke that UCLA was looking to leave the Rose Bowl to instead play in SoFi Stadium ( terrible idea for the record ) beginning as soon as the 2026 season, despite the ...

Neenah High School alum Allie Ziebell had a career night for the undefeated University of Connecticut women's basketball team, draining a school-record 10 three-pointers as the Huskies pummeled Xavier, 97-39, on Wednesday night, Jan. 28. Ziebell, a sophomore, finished with a career-best 34 points, setting the school record for points off the bench. "The number [of threes] isn't as impressive to me as watching her play with so much confidence," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said after the game. "That's the Allie I saw play in high school. That's the Allie I saw play every summer. That's the kid we recruited and why we recruited her." Ziebell finished 11-of-15 shooting overall and 10-of-14 from deep, with three assists and two steals. The 6-foot guard averages 7.5 points per game this season and obliterated her previous career high of 17 points. Her double-digit triples tied the single-game school mark set by three other players: Maya Moore in 20...

Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The Cleveland Browns announced on Wednesday morning that the team hired former Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken to be the franchise's new head coach.

Stephen A. Smith: ‘I hope’ Browns hire Deion Sanders as head coach originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . Could "Coach Prime" be the spark the Dawg Pound desperately needs? On Monday's ESPN First Take, Stephen A. Smith didn’t just suggest it, he embraced the chaos. Reacting to the vacancy in Cleveland, Smith declared, "I hope it happens," as he discussed the possibility of Deion Sanders taking the reins for the Browns . With son Shedeur Sanders set to be firmly in the mix for the starting quarterback job in 2026, the narrative is irresistible. Smith knows it's a longshot, but noted that the Browns need a culture shift that only a personality like the senior Sanders can provide.

The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will be playing in Santa Clara in two weeks for the Super Bowl. The San Francisco 49ers entered the 2025 season with one of the highest-projected win totals in the NFL. They reached that mark, yet despite all of the injuries, it felt like the team overachieved. The Niners ran into a buzzsaw in the playoffs that just so happened to play in their own division, but it’s not a stretch to say the 49ers could have been in the Super Bowl under a different simulation. Of course, that would have likely meant Brandon Aiyuk returned, Nick Bosa stayed healthy, and Fred Warner never dislocated his ankle, which is a stretch given how much injuries factor into such a violent sport. The offense remained among the best in the NFL, thanks to Kyle Shanahan’s prowess as a play-caller. The defense couldn’t get many stops, while the special teams, which were average, felt like they were better than ever compared to the previous five seasons. Today’s question...

Joshua Van won the UFC flyweight championship in unfortunate fashion at UFC 323 when Alexandre Pantoja injured his arm after throwing a head kick and being pushed to the ground by Van this past December in Las Vegas, but rising flyweight Charles Johnson gives his former opponent all the props. “InnerG”, who beat Van by third-round knockout back in 2024, won’t call Van’s title victory a fluke nor put an asterisk next to his record. “He’s the champion. He has the belt,” Johnson told MMA Fighting. “There’s no asterisk. He put himself in that position, he’s the champion. What happened was unfortunate, but he is the champion and that’s just what it is. So if people want to say stuff about him, oh well, you can be upset about it but he put himself in that position and Pantoja arm didn’t make it out, right? It just is what it is. It’s nothing to celebrate or nothing to be upset about, right? For Joshua Van, it’s a lot to celebrate. You achieved the goal that you were reaching even though i...

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay is set to make his third conference championship appearance, the same number as Mike Tomlin in 19 seasons. If Tomlin is considered an Hall of Famer following his time in Pittsburgh, than McVay is more so. Tomlin is the most overrated coach in NFL history. Everyone talks about all his winning seasons, which only hurt the Steelers’ overall success in recent years, rather than helped it. Even if most of his later teams in Pittsburgh had no business sniffing the playoffs, HOF-level coaches do not tie the NFL record for most consecutive playoff losses. Already, McVay has been as productive as Tomlin or more so, and in half the time: Mike Tomlin vs Sean McVay: Tomlin: Seasons As Head Coach – 19 Super Bowls – 1 Conference Championships – 2 Playoff Wins – 8 McVay: Seasons As Head Coach – 9 Super Bowls – 1 Conference Championships – 2 Playoff Wins – 10 McVay has more playoff wins in half the amount of time 🤯 pic.twitter.com/e8wqrr2yrK...

🚨Line-ups announced: Bayern look to book their place in the last 16 Bayern Munich hosts Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise this Wednesday with the goal of securing a direct spot in the "Top 8" of the Champions League. The Allianz Arena will witness a special night with the highly anticipated return of Jamal Musiala, who, after overcoming a serious injury suffered at the Club World Cup, already played some minutes in the 5-1 thrashing of RB Leipzig. Vincent Kompany also welcomes back Colombian Luis Díaz, cleared to play after serving a suspension. Both will support the lethal Harry Kane, who has scored five goals in this European campaign. In contrast, David Hubert’s Union SG arrives in a critical situation, sitting in 30th place and needing points to keep their playoff dreams alive. The visitors will rely on Promise David’s nose for goal to try and pull off a miracle in Munich. However, the might of the Bundesliga leaders, unbeaten at home, seems like a wall too high t...

During the first 12 minutes of Sunday’s game between the Magic and Grizzlies in London, Orlando missed all seven of its 3-point attempts, allowed Memphis to shoot 6 for 11 from beyond the arc and turned the ball over three times. As the mistakes piled up for Jamahl Mosley ‘s squad, the deficit, which grew to 33 points in the first half, became insurmountable for the Magic in the 126-109 loss at O2 Arena in front of a global audience on Amazon Prime Video. Unlike last Thursday’s game in Berlin where Orlando was able overcome a 20-point deficit to win by seven, the Grizzlies’ lead never shrunk down to 15 points or fewer, let alone single digits. So, what was the difference? In the eyes of Magic forward Paolo Banchero , it was Memphis star Ja Morant, who returned from injury after six games and had 24 points and 13 rebounds in 28 minutes, “He creates so much for their team off the dribble with his talent so you can’t really gameplan for that,” Banchero said after the 17-poi...

MIAMI (AP) — Ticket prices for Monday night's College Football Playoff national championship game between Indiana and Miami have dropped only slightly from their peaks, with supply obviously low and demand obviously high. Ticketdata, which tracks resale pricing of tickets across major marketplaces, said the lowest get-in price for the game at Hard Rock Stadium was $3,652 at midday Sunday. That number — based on a two-ticket purchase, including fees — was down about 8% from where it was at midday Saturday. Many sites still showed some tickets topping $10,000 apiece in the best sections of the lower bowl of the stadium, and some parking passes — no game ticket included — were topping $1,000 online, though a few could be found in remote lots for as little as $100 or so. Earlier in the week, CFP executive director Rich Clark was asked about how ticket prices at Hard Rock Stadium for the game were topping the secondary-market costs for Taylor Swift shows at the same stadium during he...

The Houston Texans bring an elite defense to Gillette Stadium to face the rolling New England Patriots in the Divisional Round on Sunday, January 18. My top NFL picks and Texans vs. Patriots predictions expect Houston wide receiver Christian Kirk to have another solid day through the air while ultimately coming up short on the road in New England. Texans vs Patriots prediction Texans vs Patriots Best bet: Christian Kirk Over 38.5 receiving yards (-111) The door remains open for Houston Texans slot receiver Christian Kirk to see another uptick in targets with No. 1 wideout Nico Collins in concussion protocol and unlikely to play.  Kirk went good to the tune of eight catches for 144 yards on nine targets last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the New England Patriots finished 25th in pass defense DVOA during the regular season.  Kirk will also have a size advantage against Pats slot corner Marcus Jones , and Jones surrendered a 75% catch rate and 113.9 NFL p...

It was a sucker punch. All week, every national media pundit and baseball writer insisted the Phillies were “heavy favorites” to land free agent infielder Bo Bichette. All week, momentum was building. Meanwhile, negotiations continued. While nothing is ever certain until the dotted line is signed, it sure felt like Bichette was already wearing red and white pinstripes. And then, a sucker punch to the gut. Breaking: The New York Mets and Bo Bichette are in agreement on a three-year deal, pending physical, league source tells The Athletic. — Will Sammon (@WillSammon) January 16, 2026 After losing out on free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker to the Dodgers, the Mets pivoted and signed Bichette to a surprise, three-year, $126 million contract with an average annual value of $42 million a season. The deal includes opt outs and the end of every year, essentially giving Bichette the option of spending three years in New York with a $42 million AAV, or testing the market again, all by t...

The Baltimore Ravens will interview former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel for their head coaching vacancy this week, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero . McDaniel, 42, was on the hot seat for much of the 2025 season, but all reports indicated he would be retained for another year. But Dolphins owner Stephen Ross relieved McDaniel of his duties anyway, making him one of the hottest offensive coaches on the market. He has already drawn interest from a number of teams and will likely land a new job by the end of the cycle, whether it be as an offensive coordinator or a head coach. McDaniel began his coaching career as an intern under Mike Shanahan in Denver in 2005. He spent much of the next 15 years working with Kyle Shanahan, including time in Washington with a now-legendary staff that also included Kevin O’Connell and Sean McVay. He also worked under Shanahan in Houston, Atlanta, and San Francisco. After years as an offensive assistant and wide receivers coach, McDaniel was n...

Panthers left tackle Ikem Ekwonu played only eight snaps in Saturday's wild-card playoff loss to the Rams. He could miss more time to start the 2026 season. Ekwonu underwent an MRI on his right knee on Sunday, and it showed a ruptured patellar tendon, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The injury will require surgery, and it threatens his availability for regular-season games next season. Head coach Dave Canales called the injury "significant" in his postgame news conference. Veteran Yosh Nijman replaced Ekwonu. Ekwonu missed the game against the Buccaneers on Dec. 21 with a knee issue. He missed the season opener while recovering from a preseason appendectomy. The Panthers exercised the fifth-year option on Ekwonu's contract for the 2026 season. from https://ift.tt/PsMJKZy
