5 Lessons from Bayern Munich's Win over Augsburg
You may think there is not much to be learned from a midweek, early-round DFB-Pokal game other than there are a lot of teams that have chosen green—fluorescent in FC Augsburg's case—as the colour for their away kits. This was the third successive home game for Bayern Munich in which they have faced a team wearing green shirts, but thankfully Wednesday's 3-1 win at the Allianz Arena also threw up a number of far more noteworthy issues than football's latest fashion trends.

The NBA is cyclical. Anyone familiar with the history of the league will tell you how trends come then fade away, and how certain types of players can dominate the league in waves. And anyone watching the first full night of NBA action will tell you the next cycle is 7-footers who play like guards. This is a 20-year-old center. This is a 7-foot-2 man. This is the new NBA, and 7-footers are doing things you never thought they could. Wednesday could not have gone better for the new class of big m..>> view originalJaguars vs. Titans Thursday Night Football: Preview, fantasy news, Color Rush
This was it. This was supposed to be the year that the Jacksonville Jaguars were something other than a laughing stock.

The organization also spent the offseason retooling the roster with young, fast, physical players that would reverse the pattern of futility dating back to 2..>> view originalRickie Fowler One Off Lead After Round 1 of WGC-HSBC Champions
SHANGHAI (AP) -- Rikard Karlberg made his World Golf Championships debut with an 8-under 64 to take a one-shot lead over Rickie Fowler in the HSBC Champions on Thursday. One year after Russell Knox won in his first WGC at Sheshan International, Karlberg took an impressive first step. The Swede was 9 under through 16 holes on a soggy course before scrambling for par on the 17th and then taking his lone bogey on the par-5 18th when he drove into a fairway bunker. Fowler attacked the par 5s in his ..>> view originalHey, Indians Fans – Where Was The Love Before The World Series?

Tensions have been growing in Florham Park this season thanks to the New York Jets’ struggles through seven weeks. After winning 10 games a year ago, the Jets have just two wins and five losses in 2016 and a terrible situation at quarterback. Following Sunday’s win over the Ravens – a game in which Ryan Fitzpatrick was given back his starting job due to Geno Smith’s injury – Fitzpatrick called out Jets brass for not believing in him. He said he should start every week despite not having suppo..>> view originalGeorges St-Pierre Addresses Fighting Michael Bisping at UFC 206

The NBA’s much-anticipated continuation of the NFL’s national anthem protests have so far been pretty tame. Players and teams have opted to stand with arms locked in vague displays of unity, preferring instead to “focus on solutions” instead of gestures. The shape of discourse has frankly been a little disappointing — there seems to be no sense that protest can be form of action, and many of the proposed solutions to police killings of unarmed minorities rely on false equivalencies and changing ..>> view originalInside Kyle Schwarber's journey to being a surprising World Series legend for the Cubs
