Texans brushed Browns aside 45-14 while Chiefs beat the pedestrian Dolphins 26-7 in freezing cold (they said it was the lowest temperature measured during a KC game ever).

Brenda Fruhvirtova gets her first Grand Slam MD win (over Ana Bogdan in three sets). Reward is probably Aryna Sabalenka in R2. Amanda Anisimova takes down #13 Liudmila Samsonova who is the first women's seed to go out.

Rookie QB in first half...

Wild card round is about to start in 20 mins. Bills vs Steelers has been postponed from Sunday to Monday due to heavy snow alert and a travel ban imposed by the governor

Ski jumping as a sport is nose-diving. The idea to remove quotas from the top nations won't really expand the minnows and well, it will get worse since Sandro Pertile is talking complete nonsense about hosting regular events indoors or in countries like Brazil. Yeah, good luck with that (except Saudi Arabia or Dubai might be the only countries which can afford building such an useless thing as indoor ski jumping hill).

Yeah, but it's about having only two matches in night session. Expanding R1 into three days means some show courts won't even have a night session on Sunday.

Since 2024 Obviously it also has something to do with many R1 matches and night schedule that causes public friction among players. Starting a match at 1:00 am ain't no longer cool...

Yup, USA and UK are on it. Probably nobody will even ask for cassus belli since they won't call it a war in first place

Last year's AO Junior champion Alina Korneeva (whom I told to look out for ) has qualified for her first GS Main Draw. She saved 2 MP in Q2 and breezed over Anna Bondar in the final Q round just now.

New England Patriots will also have a new HC

Some unexpected coach firings the last two days. Mike Vrabel is out @ Tennesee Titans and Pete Carroll will only remain as an advisor with Seattle Seahawks.

The poll results ruled out all events starting in January The unsinkable water polo contest will start on February 2nd

Given how Mirra Andreeva liked the infamous IG post with birthday wishes to Putin I would say that's unlikely to happen.

Those two 40+ yds rushing TD from Michigan really set the tone for this game. Washington was always up against it since then.

Yeah, Rutkowski was billed by our media as the "next Małysz" after beating Morgenstern for the individual Junior WCh in 2004 but it all unravelled very quickly due to alcohol. He lost his driving licence for drunk driving in 2005 so he was basically completely gone within two years. Funnily enough Kamil Stoch who was also on the 2004 Junior WCh silver medal team became Małysz's heir.

Regular season ended yesterday. Here's the playoff bracket:

No real surprise for the Top 3 order. Iga Świątek wins the Sports Personality Award, Zmarzlik in 2nd place and Śliwka in 3rd.

Henrich Ravas has officially moved from Widzew Łódź to New England Revolution on a three-year deal @hckošice

Ryoyu Kobayashi wins the Four Hills after scoring four second places

If NBA can use the term "World Champions" for mere 32 basketball teams from TWO countries (the second having a total of one team) when there actually is a basketball World Championships taking place elsewhere then using the term "World" for a sports competition is not subject to anyone's approval

Gary Anderson had some true words but I presume the media will dissect Littler's life (especially him dating a 21 year old woman) and throw him to the bin when they get bored of his story

It turns out the Spanish anti-doping agency (CELAD) covered positive drug tests since 2017 They send notifications to athletes through paper mail hence the response time lapsed which allowed the entire case to expire. I'm sure firing only the head of the agency will make the case disappear and everything will be fine overnight https://onefootball.com/es/noticias/spanish-anti-doping-agency-have-overlook-positive-drug-tests-of-athletes-38791510 https://www.reuters.com/sports/wada-taking-hard-look-spains-anti-doping-organisation-2024-01-05/

Humphries won 7-4 in the final. I agree with the earlier comments, Littler looks quite older than 16 yo

Kreuzbandriss is torn ACL. I'm afraid that won't be cured with extra big bottles of anything

Wind lottery in Innsbruck qualifying. Dawid Kubacki has gone back to his pre-Horngacher days and serves as the flying sack of potatoes. First time he failed to make the '50' since Engelberg 2014 IIRC.
