Browns vs Jaguars prediction
My best betJaguars -3 (-105 at BetMGM)
My analysisThis weekend’s game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Cleveland Browns is a tale of two quarterbacks: One is loved by his fanbase, while the other is one of the least popular faces in the NFL. On Sunday, the game will be played at TrEverBank Stadium, with the team renaming the …
Premier League clubs are divided over the thorny issue of how to end a season halted by coronavirus as they gather on Friday for another extraordinary meeting to try and staunch its impact.
Nearly six weeks after the last round of top-flight matches were played, a group of clubs have swung behind a scheme to finish the season by 30 June, come what may. This idea is not part of the Premier League’s official planning, however, and has been met with criticism from other league members.

Daniel Sturridge has made just five appearances as a substitute since signing for Perth Glory and now the former Liverpool striker is facing a further frustrating spell on the sidelines after sustaining an injury – blamed on a rushed warm-up – which curtailed his latest attempt to make an impact on the A-League Men.
Sturridge, who in October last year was hailed by Glory owner Tony Sage as one of the biggest signings in A-League history, has struggled for time on the pitch due to the fitness issues that have plagued his career combined with three separate stints in quarantine since arriving in Australia.

Harry Maguire’s mother, Zoe, has criticised the negative and abusive comments directed at her son, calling his treatment “disgraceful”.
The 30-year-old was booed during England’s 3-1 win over Scotland in Tuesday’s friendly at Hampden Park. After coming on as a substitute at half-time Maguire was jeered, while his introduction was also questioned by pundits. The Manchester United centre-back scored a 67th-minute own goal in what was his third game of the season.

We’re inching closer and closer to NFL training camps and eventually the regular season starting in September. Heading into all that there are quite a few quarterbacks around the league that have some lofty expectations to live up to and others who are on the hot seat and in danger of losing their starting positions. This list highlights the 10 QBs under the most pressure to produce in 2022. 10. Daniel Jones source: Getty Images For Danny Dimes, it’s time to show something. Anything. Average would be acceptable at this point. Following a promising rookie campaign in 2019 (24 TDs, 3,027 passing yards), Jones has regressed since and finds himself on the verge of wearing that ‘bust’ label we often hear with high draft picks, especially QBs. If Jones can’t produce more than he…
This gentleman is named Arthur Abraham, and he's the IBF middleweight champion, whatever the hell that means anymore. If you're looking at his hat and thinking, "Gee, that kind of looks like a Smurf hat," well, you're right: That's exactly what it is. You see, Abraham is a boxer who is obsessed with The Smurfs. He calls himself "The Smurf," and he — seriously — actually uses The Smurfs theme song as his ring entrance music, which, without question, is the lamest goddamned entrance humanly possible, save for maybe anything by Creed. And now The Smurfs are pissed. Those who own the rights to The Smurfs theme song have demaned Abraham to cease-and-desist playing the song before fights, and they'd like him to lose the hat too. Those with t…
Until the 87th minute of this afternoon’s match against Spain, the biggest news Croatia had made at Euro 2016 was when fans threw a bunch of explosives and flares onto the pitch during a game against the Czech Republic. Croatian fans were reportedly planning another attack during the 30th minute today, but they remained under control and watched on as their team, down Luka Modrić and Mario Mandžukić, handed Spain their first Euro loss since 2004. Not only did their team beat the defending champs, they gave themselves an easier path to the final and shook up the tournament in the process. Spain came out hard early and were creating chances from the first minute of the game, scoring easily a few minutes later after David Silva played a perfectly incisive ball past young Tin Jedvaj. …
Time to put on our bitchy pants and say shitty things about the Oscars and everyone nominated for the Oscars. Now, according to Entertainment Weekly, this year’s Oscars will be “song-and-dance heavy,” which is arguably the most terrifying thing I have ever read. The Grammys were two weeks ago. That is the show where singing and dancing are appropriate. When singing and dancing happen at the Oscars, you get this. Who asked for more musical bullshit at the Oscars this year? Was it you? If it was you, I’ll piss in your soup. All of this will presided over by Seth MacFarlane, who’s so hip with the kids these days and will surely get ABC the two percent bump in male 18-24 viewership that they so desperately covet. And I think you and I can agree that, when it comes to hosting a ye…
