Sad Saga Of David Moyes Continues As Manager Quits Sunderland Job
It’s hard not to look at the picture above, taken during Sunderland’s loss to Middlesbrough last month that all but sealed the Black Cats’ relegation, and not see in David Moyes’s pained, crinkled face a man wondering where it all went wrong.

The Raiders Placed A Bet On Gareon Conley
The Raiders took Ohio State CB Gareon Conley with the 24th pick of last night NFL Draft, much lower than he was expected to go a week ago, and much higher than many teams were willing to take him.

When eight-seed Wisconsin exposed Villanova’s fatal flaw—the Wildcats had no big man to dissuade the large Badger boys from pounding the paint—the East suddenly became America’s new nightmare: it was officially Duke’s to lose.
