With his contract also running down, the 24-year-old jumped at the chance to link up with Liverpool. The England international told Sky Sports on the thinking behind a £35 million transfer: “It was a really hard decision....

Keown slated Ozil’s performance in last week’s Europa League loss at Atletico Madrid, claiming that the Germany international had not been fit to wear the Gunners shirt, and even going so far as to claim that the 29-year-old had feigned being upset at the full-time whistle. However, Ozil’s representative, Dr. Erkut Sogut, has now hit back in savage fashion, claiming that Ozil has been playing through the pain this season, as well as completely dismissing Keown’s credentials, both as a pundit and a player....

When it comes to the best of the best in college football, though, both of these conferences have noticeably lagged behind during this century. Over a couple of decades, neither of these two Power 5 conferences has landed a team in more than four national championship games, and they have been outliers during the restart of college sports during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the SEC starts this weekend, and joins the ACC and Big 12 which are already in progress, the traditional Rose Bowl conferences might be on the outside looking in....

The Wizards rolled to a 26-12 lead in the game’s opening minutes, and won wire-to-wire. But, Webber said, “I am not surprised by the way it went, except for effort.

But could running back Eddie Lacy, in his second season, lead the NFL in rushing, too? “Without a doubt,” running backs coach Sam Gash told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Wednesday. “He has the capability of being the leading rusher and maybe even combined yards if he catches a lot of balls.
