Originally, Patriots-Chargers was the only CBS game in the late-afternoon window on a weekend when that was the network showing two games in every market. But because the NFL flexed Packers-Eagles to that time slot and gave that the Romo Game treatment, the audience will be limited significantly on a matchup between one of the league’s more entertaining veteran quarterbacks against a Rookie of the Year contender.

While he was named to his sixth All-Star game last season, he’ll turn 37 in July, and he lacks the defensive prowess to keep up with the small ball revolution. Together, it could be enough to offset the versatility he brings on offense starting from next season....

Aguilar also was injured throughout the latter half of 2016, but even after getting back on the field and once again taking a place in the Club America starting XI, the defender still hasn’t been brought into a Mexico camp by the current coach since the catastrophic defeat to Chile in the 2016 Copa America Centenario a year and a half ago....

It was — and remains — a blatant omission by Pierce, considering he’s a knowledgeable former player and James normally is considered one of the two best to ever play (depending on whether you think he’s better than Michael Jordan). Now we may have some context as to why he left him off. The two have a well-documented feud, but the origin of that feud came when Pierce spat in James’ eye — almost literally....
Chelsea prepared for the last-16 match by coasting to a 4-0 victory against Hull City in the FA Cup on Friday night, with Pedro getting the second goal.
